Sadly, too many people are not checking the official results for SEOcontest2008. Many good sites are not getting into the listings because they did not understand the rules. There are several sites on Google above mine that are not in the official standings. Take a look.
Just moved up to #7 on Google for seocontest2008 Also, wanted to mention that all the wordpress blogs about seocontest2008 were removed due to being "spammy" and violating the terms of service: http://seocontest2008.wordpress.com/ http://seocontest08.wordpress.com/
This just tell you one more time to stay away from free hosts. I was never big fan of Wordpress hosted blog since they try to nikel-and-dime you any chance they get. Even to edit style you have to pay them. I actually saw both blogs you mentioned and they were much better organized than many other sites participating in the contest. I feel sorry for the guys who used wordpress for the contest and now will have to start all over again with new domain if they want to stay in the race... I personally just deleted couple of my own blogs that I had hosted on wordpress - I have enough resources on my hosting account and will be much better off to spend $7 on new domain name than risk loosing established site.
