yea then many of these guys are eliminated already for violation of this rule BTW Mike - whats this rule about on-page optimization? why are some sites allowed to keep meta tags?
Because they are running a script and generate meta tags for all listings. Do for directorycontest.com exactly what you would do for any other site. Sure, some guys will have an advantage, but their directory scripts tend to be more sophisticated and benefit sites listed more at the same token, so I believe that should be rewarded. Mike
Actually, i was shocked today when i checked my phpld admincp and what i've seen is someone submitted ewebpages directorycontest link details page with title directorycontest.com Saad
Heh, that guy wants to win. Honestly ... I can´t control what you guys do and get from other sites linkwise, and won´t even try.
Another thing ... I was asked about no follow and here is my response If you give no follow on a regular basis for regular listings, like for free submissions, you can use it there as well for directorycontest. If you guys use a details page or a featured listing, my doubts are that you guys will do that. So if you want to use the no follow tag, I have no problem with that, but you can´t do it somewhere where you normally don´t give them out. Mike
wooo! this is getting hot. I'm still in the dark so as to why the prizes and rules pages aren't being updated if there is one. It would have been better as we have to plough through this seemingly endless thread everytime.
The rules are simple: Submit http://www.directorycontest.com to your own directory or add it in your admin panel. Add it the same way you would with any other featured, regular, or detail page listing. Do nothing else on your directory to boost rankings for the term directorycontest.com You can however get incoming links to the page where the listing is, and even use the anchor directorycontest.com As to the prizes ... hold on lemme look it up here we go 1st Prize: $2,000.00 in cash 2nd Prize: $400 in cash 3rd Prize $200 in cash There are also countless non cash prizes which have been offered in these threads as well as this thread on my forum. Any questions? Ask away!
How many times can I use the "directorycontest.com" in the link page ? I mean including link title, description etc.
If you read the rules, you should understand that you cannot do anything for it that you do NOT do for any other normal listing. If you are not doing it for all of your other listings, then you cannot do it for the contest one.
Yeah Jamey I understand that. But the "description" is different for each link. One can use the keyword 5 or 6 times within the description, that's why I am asking is there any limit or restriction ?
There is not a limit set on the description, but I would tread cautiously there. If you just simply spam it with the keywords 20 times, it might disqualify you. I would just recommend using a little discretion, and list a decent description.
