Says in the rules it's one prize per site, so it goes down to the next one

Only read that about 50 times so can't see how I missed that. Oh well thanks!

Sorry for the delay. I've been on vacation.

Those two domains do not break the rules of this contest. While the keywords might be similiar, as long as the root domain does not contain retsambew, dash, klat or Charity in it, it's allowed.

Current Google results has moved up to 111,000.

The rules are posted at the first page. You should be able to figure out if you are breaking any rules.

i think this is a great idea
But i don't know much about SEO so i won't be joining in

**seocontest** · 07-13-2006, 01:59 PM

My new retsambew dash klat for Charity not yet list in google for domain name

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...=Google+Search

My other site got picked up for cheap web hosting #73 If I can get to page 1 for this I can make a lot of cash I was cheating with that domain it was expired but regestered after the date of the contest could be a loop hole here. Just a temp domain I was just playing around with it until I had time to set something up. I want to play fair. I don't think this new name has ever been registered has no page rank. I don't need to cheat to win.

If you plan on achieving these rankings posting your link all over forums you will lose.

Maybe so, but it's worth noting that the sites' that have first and second place today show backlinks coming mostly from forum posts.

**amedno1** · 07-19-2006, 02:22 AM

We cant use subdomains so could I use a service like freewebs you get a URL something like this

www.freewebs.com/USERNAME/index.html

**jeter4982** · 07-19-2006, 08:33 AM

No, because the domain freewebs.com was registered before April 1, 2006...

Not posting all over forums just this one v7n and my seo contest forum

These forums are very relavent to retsambew dash klat for Charity and will help.

I am #20 right now

**Acecool** · 07-24-2006, 10:14 AM

Lol at this prize:

One copy of Spy Sweeper and one copy Window Washer by Webroot.com (with 1yr updates) $59.90 cash value. And if you join them as an affiliate you will get one full year at 60% commissions regardless of volume. That's huge. Thanks Nicholas!

I work in a computer store and those two problems, sorry, programs cause some of the WORST problems around, you couldnt pay me to install those...

Other than that, the others look pretty good.

This is the first SEO contest here, and I'm not sure there is a scheduled second contest.

Just a few weeks left!

I think it's going to be a tight finish to the end. I currently show 104k results in Google.

Retsambew dash klat for Charity - Google Search

Current elligible (just at first glance but not verified) websites in the top ten:

cpaisma.com
seocontestant.com
linkfor.us
seo-poland.com
superseo.org
retsambchar.com
talkupation.info
mes-seomaster.com

I also just may hold a second SEO contest if I can make it unique and get enough participation.

Ya, Tim this really should be an interesting couple of weeks. With 24 days remaining in the competition I think we may have an oppertunity to see Google update their index once again, which could really change up the results.
