Ok guys i would like you all to input on this contest as it will be more fun & hopefully run for the best times for all of you. One way we could do this is by the contest running length.

I have opened a poll were i want you all to vote on how long the contest should be, bear in mind the first one seem to pass rather quickly & members may wish to spread the time they spend on the contest.

5 months and the contest could possibly cover 2 PR updates also, that's if the start and finish dates are selected carefully.

I put my vote on the 3 months length.

Thanks for your input clangallacher, hopefully depending on the poll of contest length we can plan the dates to suit everyone over a period, personally with the first contest the first 3 weeks i spent loads of time but work & family meant all the rest was lost so the initial work was pointless.

I think that is too long, people will lose interest. Its also not about PR but about SERPs

voted for 3 months period, i think the shorter the better for me. I can't caught up with the rest specially building backlink.

3 months would be spot on

I have voted for three 3 months as this is neither too long and nor too short.

This span of time will be good for optimizing and making the things turn around accordingly.

I've voted "4 months".
I think 2 months is too short to build a good site, and a good strategy.
3 months, it's Ok.
In 4 months, the contest can win more participants...
5 months is perhaps too long... but why not...
