So basically, only 10 people will enter, all of them will win $3.00 by just spending 5 seconds/day to vote. Just a little extra extra bonus ... Rules: To participate in the mini-voting contest you must also participate in the SEO contest. If you participate in the SEO, you might choose to participate or not in the mini contest. How will I know you voted?: Each day you vote, post a message here saying: "I voted today", I'll know by logic if you guys are doing it or not, but it's all basically trust. Once the 10 postitions are filled for the mini-contest, I will annouce it here to avoid confusion... ------------------------------------------------------------- How To Start, What Not To Do? Well, in SEO contests people usually register related domain names and do their best in SEO techniques to mention and link to the targeted domain. Some others perfer to register blogger.com blogs and talk a little about the targeted URL using blog-n-ping technologies.. everyone has his way of doing it. Please notice that I won't accept entries that: - have the words "jisx" in their names - have the phrase "jisx seo contest" in the names - Entries with domain names registered before the start date of this thread. How will the winners be determined? 1- On February 9, I will access google.com from 10 different IP addresses with different C classes, and different countries. I will query the terms targeted from each of the location and record the results for each IP address. 2- Winners will be the owners of the google links based on their placement on the first SERP. SERP = Search Engine Result Page ------------------------------- As I said, This is a great opportunity for webmaster... I wish you all luck, and thanks in advance for your contributions. If you decide to enter this contest, please update this thread with your username and the URL of your contest entry. Example reply: Thanks Again
