    Just to remind you, that the entry
    webmasterzone.in/2010/02/13/webthesurfi-rugs-webdesign/ should not be a valid one ‘coz it’s against the rules since the domain contains word “web” which is part of the keyphrase. CMIIW

  41. egay says:

    Why is it http://wongsableng.com/webthesurfi-rugs-webdesign.html is a valid entry?
    It is clearly stated in the rules that “The article should not contain or should not mention about it as a SEO competition.”. I think this a bias contest.

  42. Caleb says:

    “Just to remind you, that the entry
    webmasterzone.in/2010/02/13/webthesurfi-rugs-webdesign/ should not be a valid one ‘coz it’s against the rules since the domain contains word “web” which is part of the keyphrase. CMIIW”

    Um.. My site does not have the word “web” in it.. Webmaster is actually a recognized word.
    So no.. It doesn’t… Maybe its the root word but theres a difference you know.

    I’m sorry that I’ve worked hard and now you want to drop me.
