New SEO contest with 50 prizes

Hi all,

There is a new contest to check who can get his site to the first position,
only now all you need to do is to get into the first 50 positions in order
to win $100.

Since each participate can’t win more than one prize, and since there are 50
prizes, I don’t care to share the info with you guys, so you can win as
well.

Just do me a little favor, if you’ll decide to enter the contest, don’t
forget the man who told you about it, and give me a little link to my page.

The competition page:

http://www.btdino.com

My page:

http://btdino.flywebs.com

Thanks in advance,

Ben

More and more of these lame contests where you have to provide a link to the "sponsor" to be entered. Don't you realize they are just paying for a link on your site and that their own sites will already occupy the top positions so you will end up with nothing??

This one is to crack the MSN code...Hmmm lets try to understand a search engine where everyone already knows how it works and ranking on it doesn't give you any signifigant traffic compared to Google.

A sucker is born every minute

That's a terrible prize for the keywords they want. If I'm going to build a site that targets casino words and gets in the Top 10 on any of the big search engines, I sure as heck wouldn't link it to their site.

I use to work for the biggest casino sites, I'd rather use their affiliate programs to send the organic traffic through rather than just their one site.

This may hijack this thread but I have no problems myself with gambling. I actually think its a valid form of entertainment and its addiction that is evil, not gambling.

top rankings on MSN not only send me traffic, but they send me valuable traffic which makes sales.

I notice that when I'm high on MSN the sales increase

I am not disputing that there are people that use MSN, just that if you were ranked in the same position in Google you would be getting at least 10 times the visitors.

Even if MSN was the hardest nut to crack, this isn't a real SEO contest. It is a scam to get people to link to a site they never would to otherwise.

Whats the big deal? First prize is $1500...a contest is a contest...cash is cash.

They are giving away money for links...no different than buying links, just a new way to spin it.
