[MeetHere]

I just registered.
Can anybody tell me , Does my SEOcontest2008 page is valid for this competition ? Anything wrong with it ? Somebody told its not allowed.

Has the location of the daily results been moved? I am interested in how we are doing.. Who has how many pages and how many competitors are there?.

Earlier I read that there were deadlines to register and the number of competitors would be limited to 300.

Is that 300 pages or 300 participants with multiple pages?

[SkinnerW]

There was no deadline for registration and participation limited to 300 members at the moment.

Our programmers are working on final touches to the daily standings page

Thanks again Skinner!! (another very fast reply)

You are not participating so this may be frustrating for you? I know many people involved in this contest are looking at it as if they are going for a golf handicap or bowling average. They just want to know how they measure up to each other.

That is the exciting part not the $1000

The $1000 got them here the competition keeps them here. Speaking of which does your rule mean I can enter 30 or 50 different domains or pages?

Or skinner can laugh at us all & do one anyway just to show what he could have done if he enetered

I am actually trying to compete with you guys and optimizing few pages myself.
I am curious where I stand compared to the rest of you. I don't compete for the prize though, my goal is to bring more interest to this contest and UKWW in general. Last time I checked my page was around 100 or so...

I don't think it's fair to enter more than one competing domains...
The whole point of the contest is to prove that you can optimize ANY domain for the targeted term.

Look at it this way... Lets say you have 10 different customers who hired you to optimize their sites for the same term. They all paid you same amount of money but you were able to get only one of them to the first page... Would you say as long as one customer gets what he paid for your job is done?
I don't think so...

So in my opinion registering more than one domain and than hope that at least one of them will do good is cheating...

Temi (The Boss) should be online shortly and he can clarify the rules...

[Resonate]

I think the registered domain you put up first should stick, make it more interesting.

[kineticdc]

I hope that there will be only one page per contestant to be fair...
Thanks Skinner... again
Hey what is your page, I am now interested?
