After around a week and a half Mike has finally trawled through his inbox and sorted through all of the complaints regarding the cheating entries into the competition. It has taken him a while, purely to ensure that every request was looked into to ensure fairness.

A number of directories have been excluded from the competition for using tactics which broke the rules of the competition, but only one of those was from the original top 10 results which we posted on the 6th. Read more… »

The competition has come to a close as the time ticks past the hour. After many weeks competing many will be glad this competition has come to an end, especially those who are sitting pretty in the top three places and will pick up some nice cash prizes.

Our preliminary results show that ask-dir.com has finished in the number one spot and will pick up the first prize of over $2100 plus various other bonuses when Mike decides to publicise what they actually are! Hint Hint!

First of all we would like to congratulate the owners of ask-dir.com, they have consistently been in the top of the search results for the past few weeks that we have been monitoring the competition and in our opinion are deserved winners of the competition. We are all extremely pleased that the top spot has gone to a real directory and not just one that has been created solely for the purpose of entering this contest. Read more… »

Well we are now entering into the final 6 days of the DirectoryContest.com competition. From this point on we will be publishing the results daily, up until the 6th day when we will post the preliminary winners. We say preliminary because it is down to Mike to make the final decision after he has reviewed the entries to ensure none of the cheaters get given prizes.

So today we start with a major shift in the results, trincas.org has been cast out of the top 30 leaving the competition wide open, below are the movers and shakers from the 559,000 results currently being returned for ‘directorycontest.com’ in Google. Read more… »

The DirectoryContest.com is still running strong and despite the recent spate of Google updates which have been applied in the past two weeks there still remains some stiff competition which refuses to budge from the top 10. However, someone has finally broken the top 10 jostling trend, today biz-dir.co.uk managed to break into the 10th position unseating web1directory.com and relegating them to the second page.

Over the past couple of weeks Google has carried some updates with a back link export and an update to the Google Toolbar PR. Both of these updates have had an effect on the DirectoryContest.com most significantly in the past week.

On the 24th we posted up the DirectoryContest.com results with an all time high of over 501,000 results returned for the keyphrase “directorycontest.com”. Shortly thereafter the results took a bit of a nose dive. Read more… »

The DirectoryContest.com reached a massive milestone today, upon checking the search results Google is now showing 501,000, just 3 months after the competition first started and already the participants have created over half a million results.

With only 13 days remaining until the winner of the DirectoryContest.com is announced, a fair amount of movement has taken place amongst the top ten. There are still no new entries in the top ten, these ten seem to be jostling for position almost on a daily basis and no one else is able to break in. Read more… »

To be honest our chances of winning the competition are pretty slim. We only picked up on the DirectoryContest.com contest around the 10th of January which gave us only 28 days total to get our entry listed in Google. We spent the first day deciding whether or not we would actually enter, after that was decided we then spent the next 4 days formulating our strategy. So we are then left with just 23 days to get our entry ranked for the search term. Read more… »

It is amazing to see how many people cannot stick to some basic rules when placing their entry into the Directory Contest. After paging through the Google results you can quickly see which sites have broken the rules and those that have not. The very fact that this contest has cash on offer has brought out all of the usual tricks and cheating methods.

We know full well that it is not worth cheating, not because we fear getting caught but because it is just plain wrong. The competition has rules for a reason, it also has a purpose, to find out which of the directories are actually worthwhile webmasters submitting to. I am very pleased that Mike Dammann has stated that before announcing who has won anything he will be checking each entry which is in with a shot of winning something to ensure they have not broken the rules.

It is not your normal run of the mill SEO contest with a variety of rules in place that are not usually seen with these types of contests. However, the rules are fair and necesarry to ensure that the competition winners are indeed directories which are worthy of submission. Read more… »
