I'm currently participating in a contest which has $1,000 prizes in cash. One man can theoretically (and practically) earn $500+. We are only thre serious people competing. Why? Because all others gave up, since some work is needed (posting). In the case of this blog post, people got feeling that there will be "100" entries - so "no way" to win. People are also not cionfident about that they make a good post. Next - many think that decision about the winner will be "random". Next: many "big money" contests in the past were total scam. Anyway, after the end of the contest I PMed you with my free site review of your directory here, I would like to hear your comments (can be via PM).
Thanks for the feedback boron. I did read your other review and I must say that you do a good and thorough job. I have taken on board the points you have mentioned. The award page link has been removed and also added a search feature. The SEO suggesstions are going to take more time to implement but I think as you suggest is an important part of the development of the site. Thanks again boron.
