So there’s about 2 weeks left in the DirectoryContest.com contest and many of the participants are scurrying for that last push to try and get their sites to the top of Google’s results on February 6, 2007 at 10:00am PST.
I’m seeing quite a bit of link purchasing still going on in an attempt to outrank others at the finish line. Some of the top sites have up to 17,000 links pointing to their entry page, which is a detail page for the contest site. Amazing.
It’ll be difficult to determine just which directories provide the best overall value when this is finished as it appears to have turned into another SEO contest.
