    LOL!! Note the number of results, just 81!!!! I'm the 9th domain listed but that'll change as Google finds more of my back-links. :D:D

    I'll just make a new blog post for each new contest. :)

    Make the domain strong like hell and then would be easy to win some of them.

    Good luck with that, Dominic!

    JW: I believe that is what Nintendo is also doing with seo-contests.com.



    ....and as a side note... to show how poorly ranked / spidered / indexed the Carcasher.com domain is-- their page about the contest has not shown up in any of the SEs yet even though it is linked from every other page on their site.

    Hi all,
    I wander how they'll do to be able to be sure that a site didn't use any black hat technics to place well on top of SERP...
    An easy way to disqualify a competitor should just be adding him in FFA, and spamming (with his page) blogs, forums and guestbooks :p :D

    Judging by the number of results, this might be a TINY contest, when it comes to the competition!! v7ndotcom had 119,000 results with in a few days!!

    Interesting to see my squidoo pages on page 2 with only signature links on this forum.

    Most interesting is the fact they are duplicate pages and the one without a hyphen shows up first in the results.

    Edit: just realised I only link to the page without the hyphen so no wonder it shows up first! Still its good how the page with the hyphen is showing up on page 2 with no backlinks!

    Next round of results w/ 10,000 results...

    http://64.233.183.99/

    btw, from what I've done in this contest and from examining the v7n contest, Google obviously prefers the domains and prefers them withOUT hyphens.

    I don't think this is correct.
    find
    carcasherdotcom-seocontest.be
    carcasherdotcomseocontest.be
    in results..

    With identical backlinks and almost identical content the one WITH hyphen is first.
    It seems that obviously people prefer ones withOUT hypen :D

    oh.. I missed it.. I'll listen to podcast..

    It is probably because .be domains were free in january ;)

    but anyway.. google shouldn't care.. you can find spam on .com .org .net .*... Spam filtering shouldn't be done through filtering out the domain namespaces. Usually content is spam, not domains..

    It would be pretty strange if google banned whole belgium namespace :D

    My test was not as controlled, but close. I have two hyphen domains and two without hyphens. They all received the same starting backlinks. The two withOUT hyphens are #1 and #2 right now. The two with hyphens are #5 and #8.

    In the v7n, the top 3 domain listings are all non-hyphen. The one hyphen on the first page is a .be :)

    I agree, that would be total discrimination. I guess they will just have to deal with them spam ...
