    In what ways have you tried contacting them? Are they just ignoring you completely?

    one of my friend also won the contest, but until now the prize is not yet delivered. I think that seo contest is a hoax.

    I was going to enter that, good thing i was way too busy.

    It may be a good idea to seek legal advice, we dont know what the contract was you entered in to if any.

    i would start practicing my black hat SEO techniques on their website

    anyone got any good porn sites selling links?
    what about warez sites?

    people shouldnt piss off SEO guys

    if we know how to get your website ranked you think we cant change that back?

    I had someone that owed me a website a while back that wasnt transferred to me. I got an excellent claims guy that did some amazing stuff to get teh webmaster to settle. Try to find a hard nosed claims agent. Also try to take this to court. Dont give up without a fight

    In order to qualify, the page must have a link back to shopauto.ca home page. Participants who don't maintain a link will be disqualified. ( No specification of link required, other than the promotion of used cars or used car classifieds being linked to url...)


    Jan 15 to JUNE 15... That is 6 months worth of backlink to help them raise their pr, and they raised it to 2!!!!!!!!!!!

    Seek a lawyer man..
