    ok, I'm in :)

    few questions though, maybe some were already asked.. but there are 20 pages here, few more on the other forum, and I just found this contest, I'll read them all later tonight.

    1. can I place the link in more than one category on my site? with different descriptions offcourse.
    2. can my directory be a phpLD 2.0? (my oldest directory, problem is it doesn't have any details page)
    3. on the homepage of the contest says that the links to directorycontest.com can be featured or regular, but I've read around here that there should only be regular listings.
    4. the search term.. after all is directorycontest.com or http://www.directorycontest.com
    5. does the country I am from mathers?
    6. If featured links are allowed, my directory displays Latest 5 Featured Links on homepage... this is kinda against the rules but this is not a special on page SEO, it is like this for a few months now.


    I have many more but while reading so many threads about it... I kinda forgot some of them. Maybe I'll find some of the answers in this thread, I'm now starting to read :)

    so... i took the time to read these all 20 pages.
    now... all you need is a good and often indexed directory with link details page.... if you want to win this contest all you have to do is enter the contest on 1st Feb, you can put a original description of a few rows for the link, about 20-30 rows, and then Google will boost you on the first place since you have the newest and most original content, everyone else's description about this link would be about three months old - this is what you can do if you want to cheat legally

    if you want to play a fair game, you only have to add a featured link into a main category of your directory and forget about it (this is what I did). I hope Blogmaster has a good strategy to determine the cheaters.

    and for those who try to build quality back links and other stuff for the category they added the link... aren't you curious if you have a good directory?
    I know mine is good :), but is it good enough? anyway... at the end of the contest.. I myself will make a review of the top results, to see who's there because there is supposed to be or who's there because he optimized the category (on site and off site) in these four month to get there.

    that is why I have done this, to build a natural list of the best web directories. I will tell more on an upcoming interview on www.directoriesforum.com

    stay tuned :)

    or participate only with the category the link is submitted in, homepage links don't count right?

    you need to follow the same things which you do with other site's links in your directory . I hope you dont place every site's link on homepage though you are allowed to get links from other sites .
    Correct me If I am wrong ;) :)

    you're wrong. in my directory Latest 5 Featured links are displayed on homepage. rules say I can put up a featured link in my category. but as I said, I will participate with my category /Computers, not the homepage of the site.

    No, that is not against the rules. It´s called a loophole. :)
