I have a question about the contest

No remotely hosted blog domains allowed (i.e. keyword.blogspot.com)

Does this mean no other blogs whatsover are allowed linking to your site or just keyword.whateverblog.com or do you simply mean that pages ranking for this are not allowed to be blogs? Thanks.

Using a Blog is fine. You just can't use a remotely hosted blog subdomain (which would not follow the no subdomains rule anyway).

But, you are allowed to have blogs linking to your site, whether they are subdomains or not correct?

Just a quick clarification question here...For the charity requirement, it says that there must be a text link with the charities name in it. Would it be alright if we place the charities logo, linked to their site on our sites instead, as it would gain more attention to it, and is also more integrable into my layout.

For getting more sponsors for this contest, You may think of adding a rule of linking back to Sponsor's website from all websites participating in the contest.

I am sure it will attract more sponsors for this contest.

Just a thought.
