By my reckoning I finished 10th, I'll try & get some official confirmation & post back here :)
I would like to mention that I entered into this contest in order for me to step out of my comfort level a little & I've enjoyed the challenge of learning new concepts.
I approached with the mentality of a Web Designer & as you may see on this post:
What is the Responsibility of a Web Designer in Regards to SEO?
I may not have the best skills in:
Link building
Link baiting
Content creation
SMM
Press release writing
Sales copy
To sum up:
Would I conduct a SEO Campaign for a client? Probably not, but I'm sure that I've demonstrated the points that Cory made about producing good code & the correct structure.
If you can see from all this that SEO is hard work & you would rather hire a true professional I highly recommend a fellow Australian, Brendon Sinclair, he's a friendly bloke & passionate about what he does.
If you would like me to build you a website please visit my site: www.ozwebfx.com. you will see that I will give you an obligation free Estimate & I offer a 100% Money-Back Guarantee because I am confident that you will be extremely pleased with any of my services.
If you've liked some of the stuff I've talked about here then step on over to my blog .. I'll promise to post more regularly in the future & update my Portfolio Page so please subscribe to the ozwebfx newsletter & I'll let you know soon.
So, thanks for reading & once again congratulations to all the entrants.
Cheers, Richard.

The Twenty Eighth Yicrosoft Directory day ..
What's your website score?
Meg over at Blog Pond asks "Have you ever wondered how well optimised your website is? What I mean by that, is how easy your content is to find on search engines."
Website Grader is an online tool that gives your website a score out of 100 and prepares a pretty comprehensive report (ready within a couple of minutes).
Michael Gray takes another point of view: Why Website Grader is a Bad Idea
"I came across Website Grader via Guy Kawasaki’s website today and I have to say this is one of the worst ideas I have ever seen, worse than that it’s downright dangerous in the wrong hands!"

The Twenty Seventh Yicrosoft Directory day ..
Table-Based Layout Is The Next Big Thing
The recently-launched SitePoint CSS Reference (and its print version, The Ultimate CSS Reference) contains extensive coverage of some of the more obscure areas of CSS. One such area that is going to become very important with the release of IE8 later this year is CSS tables.
For years now, enlightened designers who have embraced CSS layout have had to bend over backwards to produce complex designs that would have been trivial to produce using the HTML table-based layout techniques of the past.
The lengths to which designers must go to produce, say, a simple three-column layout using CSS techniques are so extreme that many web designers simply give up on CSS and resort to HTML tables for their layout. The Tech Times #142 and #143 were devoted to this issue.
With the release of IE8 coming this year, the stage is set for all that to change. IE8 will be the last of the major browsers to add support for CSS tables, which will enable designers to use table-based layout techniques without misusing HTML table markup.
