Competition Tougher Than Ever
After following this SEO challenge for more than 3 months, it’s clear to see that the competition is much tougher than in the first CPayscom Search Engine contest. The top 10 in the main search engines is changing regularly, so there is no telling who’s gonna win the 2nd checkpoint and even more impossible to predict the future winners of the competition.
We just wanted to wish everyone - once again - good luck en success in the competition. We see that there are some real SEO experts out there doing good stuff, but we also noticed that some smaller and beginning SEO’s are starting to gain territory in the contest. This makes it even more exciting! Everything is possible!

Get to know our first and second Checkpoint and FINAL winner!
Our very first checkpoint winner came as quite a surprise, since it appeared in its high ranking position only a few days before the actual checkpoint – which makes it even more impressive! The winner is a 43 year old Occupation Systems Engineer and we asked him a few questions:
1. When did you enter the competition?
I entered on the announce date.
2. How did you hear about the CPayscom competition?
I won the last CPayscom Online Casino contest with #1 for Yahoo and #4 on Google and that’s when I heard there would be a new contest.
3. How long have you been working with SEO?
I have been doing SEO contests for a few years now. First SEO contest was Fortuno winnero followed by Online Casino BTDino and Echolist directory. I won Echolist directory contest and placed 4th for Online Casino BTDino and fortuno winnero. I recently finished 5th in the Retsambew dash klat for charity seo contest and I have won 5 of the 8 Carcasherdotcom seo contest checkpoints. I am currently in first position. I’m also competing in the Ambatchdotcom seocontest for the title of World SEO Champion. I intend to win this one also, it ends October 20th.
4. What are you going to do with the money?
Not sure. Probably I will just save the money. I wan to buy the car I have pictured on most of my contest sites.
5. How do you see your chances for winning that $10,000 prize on February 1st 2006?
I think my chances are very good. I intend to win the next checkpoint and the final prizes.
6. Do you have any smart SEO tips for the other contestants?
No, I don't want to help anyone beat me. Maybe I'll write a SEO book next year. I have page 1 listing with my seobook.org.uk domain for seo book on Google without trying very hard for the #1 spot.
7. Did you expect to win this first checkpoint?
When
I was not sure at first. MSN did not like my sites in the other contest but I was able to figure out what MSN likes in time. I was sure 2 days before checkpoint that the prize was mine.
WOW! This guy is not joking around – he sure knows what he’s doing!
However, don’t get discouraged, it still a long time until the 1st of February and a lot can happen in that time… Make sure to use all your SEO powers to shoot your sites up the rankings and WIN!
Talk to you soon!

Here is a reminder for everyone and mostly of course for the owner of this site: If you want to be able to receive your prize (and who wouldn’t), you have to have a NETeller account and a CPays account. Please note that the outcome of the results is fixed and not open for discussion.

First Checkpoint Coming Up…
Less than a week from now we will find out who is the true Ruler of the MSN search results for the keyword phrase “CPayscom Online Casino”. Already there are 48,000 search results for this keyword phrase at MSN. On October 1st, we will check at 12:00 GMT with an anonymized search to be a 100% sure that the result is authentic.
Right now, the site getting closest to winning the first $1,000 in this competition is: http://casinomoney.blogspot.com. But – a lot can happen in one week and there have been quiet some shifts in the top 10 in the last days, so I guess we’ll just have to wait and see…
Good Luck everyone!

So where are we standing now?
Ok. Everyone is busy getting their sites up in the top rankings for our SEO contest. The first check-up point will be on the 1st of October – that’s a little bit less than 3 weeks away and it’s about time for an update. What’s going on? Who has some serious winning chances?
At the moment http://casinomoney.blogspot.com is leading the competition, reaching out for that $1,000 first check-point prize. But the race is not run yet! Right behind this contestant is the site http://oldstylecubs.blogspot.com, who doesn’t seem to have the necessary links on the page (which would lead to disqualification). We urge this contestant to quickly put up the links, cause as it says in our terms and conditions; we will have to be able to see our links in a cashed version of the winning site! And at #3, we’re proud to announce finally a female SEO with the site: http://cpayscom2onlinecasino-seocontest.blogspot.com!
Then as a final comment we would like to thank everyone for playing it cool and respecting our anti-spam request. Way to go guys! Keep up the good work!
Later!

Keep it cool!
We’re in the third week of the competition now and it’s great to see that so many sites are already participating in the competition. However, we wanted to get one thing in the clear.
We thought it went without saying, but really, guys: No dirty stuff! Any SEO caught doing any of the following: stealing content, hiding links, etc. DOES NOT qualify for any of the prizes. So keep it cool and... play nice!
Check the Google Webmaster Guidelines for more details.

It’s already starting…
The new SEO Challenge of CPayscom began only a week ago and already more than 6,000 sites can be found with the new keyword phrase: Cpayscom2 Online Casino.
In the last week, there have been rumors that participants from the first SEO competition would have an advantage in this new competition, since the keywords are not that different – but the first sites in the MSN ranking shows otherwise! This proves that every one has a fair shot at the prizes.
Luckily the first check point is still far away so you guys still have plenty opportunity to shoot your site up those rankings.
Enjoy!

How did you hear about this competition?
I heard about the competition in an SEO forum and in the English Wikipedia page
When did you know that you we're definitely going to win the competition?

What are you going to do with your $4,000 prize?
I have no plans on what to do with the prize money, other than $500 I committed to contribute to a good cause when I entered the competition
What is your secret for winning this competition?
If I'll tell you, it won't be my secret anymore…

Big Surprise! There are 2 Yahoo Winners!!!!
The competition is over and we presented all the lucky winners on our site.
To be absolutely sure that we had the right results we used different anonymizers for the search. One way or another, it happened that for Yahoo two different reputable anonymizers came up with a very surprising result….two different #1 winners!
We decided that there could only be one winner, since there was only one prize, but in all this confusion, it happened that we listed one of these winners with the screenshot of the other site... We changed the screenshot to the matching listing to avoid any further confusion, but that still left us with one extra winner.
We know that this is a competition that is mostly played for fun, but we don’t want to take away anyone’s credit for winningJ.
That is why we want to make a special announcement for this special Yahoo winner, who beat the odds by appearing on #1 at Yahoo together with another site:
cpayscom-online-casinos.spaces.msn.com/PersonalSpace.aspx
So congratulations to BOTH our #1 Yahoo winners!

We’re almost there…
After months and months of hard work & having a lot of fun, it’s finally going to happen --- the winner of the CPays SEO Competition will soon be known! At last, we’ll find out who has the best SEO skills and knows the most tricks & trips to outsmart the search engines.
This is the time to remember that to be able to claim your prize; you’ll need to be signed up at CPays.com and have a valid NETeller account. If you didn’t arrange one or both of these things, please make sure you’ll have it all settled before the 1st of July.
On July 1, we’ll make a list with all the winning sites plus their position in Google, Yahoo & MSN. This list will be online on July 2 plus screenshots. If your site is among these winning sites, please send your username and position (according to the published list), to a special email address that will be announced on July 2 as well, and the prize will be credited to your NETeller account.
As you all know (cause of course you’ve read our terms & conditions very carefully J), it’s only possible to win with 1 site; meaning that if you have 5 sites in the top 50 of Google, you’ll only receive 1 prize – for the highest position.
Ok, that’s about it – let’s make it a really good final week and give it all you’ve got!!
See you all very soon,

Get Ready!
Only 31 days to go till the end of the competition and more than 265,000 sites are fighting over that prestigious #1 position at Google.com. For the past months, we've saw many sites jump to the first positions and then disappear again, which means that everything is still possible and there is no telling who will be the winner of the CPayscom SEO Competition. This is why you shouldn't give up - even if right now you're not ranking as high as you would like to.
With a little bit more than a month to go for the Grand Finale, it's now time to give it all you've got: show off those SEO skills and tricks that no one else knows about and climb that Google, MSN and Yahoo ladder! Collect the main prize and (most importantly) the ever-lasting honor of winning this SEO competition!
Good luck to everyone :

Are you the next checkpoint winner?
Hi guys,
The first checkpoint winner is about to get his money and he couldn't be more proud or happy. He's now a member of the CPays.com affiliate program and he already made some players with his site. At present, he is earning double money: from the competition AND our affiliate program. That's the way to go!
Anyway, Google is dancing the samba as never before, and this opens a world of opportunity for all participants. Our first checkpoint winners' site is already nowhere to be found at any datacenter and new sites are popping up high in the rankings every day.
You want to be our next checkpoint winner? Push your site up those Google rankings and grab that prize! Just go for it!
Best of luck!
