    I am not sure if I will enter yet but if I do you guys don't stand a chance :D

    Just some first thoughts
    1. Directories with a details page have a strong advantage
    2. Directories with a details page that use the site name as a title have an even stronger advantage
    3. Directories with a details page that use the site name as a title and have the site's name withinn H1 tags have an even stronger advantage

    Many directory owners are worried about not looking good in this contest. I say screw that and go for it!

    Absolutely! there is no shame in entering and not winning. The great thing is that everyone will be able to learn from the winners.

    Imagine if a Refer Listing page, or Details page would outrank everyone. Directory owners all over would be adding Refer Listing and Detail pages pages, if they dont have them already.

    I am in for one of my new directory. At least this contest reminds me every day to keep improving directory SERP for next 3 months.

    That is a good way to look at it!

    So, when is someone going to make one of those cool leaderboard applications that keeps track of the contestants and their positions?

    The results don't mean much yet, we will get a more clear picture when the listing moves out of the latest links pages of directories

    Edit to add: However, if you decide to stop the contest now and give me the money I wouldn't mind :D
