  5. vinodh says:

    i’m done.

    Thank your very much for giving the specific details of correction. :)

  6. @rein, michelle, daniel, thanks for joining. I updated the list of valid entries.

  7. The data center for the contest http://72.14.207.99/search?hl=en&q=tnomeralc+web+design+toys seems to be down. It has been down for almost a day now. Please post the updates in this matter.

  8. @cijo, that’s our problem too, i’m planning to change the DC. I will just announce it later. good day.
    @alon, its on the rules that blog posts is the only valid entry you can register. good day.

  10. Nitrosaint says:

    data center is not working anymore.

  11. that’s right nitrosaint that’s why we will be using the regular search query syntax instead.

    Admin, this might be a little bit too early to ask but I’d like some answers so that I can make a few adjustments on one entry I have – http://masterofthe.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/tnomeralc-web-design-toys/.

    As you can see, right now my site entry URL appears side by side in the results page of Google at # 4 slot with a video from youtube. I am on an experiment on this matter.

    My question is do I still win if that URL alone (without the YouTube video) or if that same result (with the YouTube video) appears on the top 3 slots of the results at the end of the contest date?

    Your contest clearly states that it has to be the URL and in this case of the result. It is my URL on the top # 4 spot.

  13. @masterofthe, with video or not, the registered URL should be visible and linked to the actual post on the SERP. If the URL that will rank will be the video’s URL instead of your blog post or when I click the link it will link to the video instead then this will invalidate the entry.
