Darren ranked on the "widgetbucks" as you mentioned, however my post was referring to Darren also having ranked at #7 for "iloveseo" BASED on over 700 comments on one post (on HIS site, not mine) where we asked readers to put that in the comments to help us filter through the spam blocker (we were running a competition on his site where we chose 12 of those who commented to win a prize). There was no intention to rank for it, it just happened, and we noticed it. My post (on my site) later ranked #2 for "iloveseo" and Darren's fell off the radar for it. The reason for this is because my site is quite heavily focused on SEO (it's one of the many things we do) and Darren's is not (his is about professional blogging). My intent on posting that was to show the proof to disbelievers that Google does in fact spider and rank 24/7 - especially with the introduction of the blog search making it so much easier for them to rank posts on relevant key terms. What people should understand, is that while your rankings for certain terms might not be permanent (even mine has dropped a few numbers since then), they're RELEVANT to the time where you wrote that particular post and focused on that particular target. To DRM - The reason he got that high was because there were 700 comments in a short period of time (only 200 in the first 70 minutes, but 700 at the end of 7 hours). His widgetbucks one showed up in only 20 minutes because as I said, Google's updating 24/7 nowadays. It only took time for them to find it and BAM! it was there. Just some clarification on your facts…
