    I dont think you can do this because the domain must not be registered before Jan. 15th.

    You are correct drig, however you can use older domains to add links from and tell the world about this SEO contest.

    no offence but your scoring system seems to put equal weight on getting #1 on MSN & Yahoo as it does on Google?

    someone could hold #1 on MSN #1 on Yahoo and walk away with the prize without even listing in Google.... hardly an SEO champion :confused:

    just my 2 cents, hope this helps. :)

    I promise you Solicitors Mortgages that we have discussed that scenario as well.

    Here is how we see it:
    If the people in the top 10 in Google can not get top 10 positions in either Yahoo or MSN then they have missed the whole point of the contest.
    So therefore just adding links to your site may help a lot in Google but to get to the top 10 in all of the three search engines you need some skills and you need to plan a little bit more.
    My guess is that we will not see your scenario actually, I doubt that the winner of this contest ranks as number 1 on Yahoo and MSN and totally forgets about Google.
    If you have any other questions or input just shoot! :)
    I love to get some more feedback.

    That is no secret at all :)
    I am sure that everyone will use their made up tactic anyway, so all we can do now is speculate which one will be the best.

    Interesting. Are the winners obliged to tell how they achieved it? That would be interesting to read.

    For the sake of the competition, let's hope not.
    I must be missunderstanding the concept of SEO. There was me thinking something like 75% of seaches go thru Google and yet it is equally weighted in your scoring system with MSN... ...oh well. :(

    Nice prizes though.

    James.

    If the scoring system wasn´t equally weighted and 75% of the weight was pointed towards ranking high in Google. Then it would only be all about Google. We are trying to avoid that as much as possible.
