  | On another note, newbies who have just started making websites might only have PR N/A or PR 0 so might not be fair to do PR. Only a thought, not having a go or anything I think this is a great idea and very generous of you furbs!

| Great idea Furbs, and very generous too! Quote:
In terms of the PR thing, there are many ways people with low PR sites could contribute. A well written article submitted to some high PR article directories will be of much more benefit seo wise than a crappy wordpress pr 0 nofollow link. I do think that the value of people's contributions should be taken into account, especially considering the potential rewards, but maybe basing the value only on PR would limit the available options for some.

| Everyone has to start somewhere, today's crappy (your words, not mine) PR0 could be tomorrow's PR4. I don't want to discourage anyone and will be giving this proper thought, hence why I started a thread to get views. Thanks for all the replies.

Very cunning. Very cunning!Yet one more ingenious way to get backlinks and continue to dominate the market! I wouldn't recommend giving one entry per link as most people will host on the same ip (class c). Just a suggestion! | |

| While this is another very generous sounding offer - anyone trying to rank for the same keywords as you (which, lets face it, is pretty much everyone) would be crazy to promote your site by giving you a relevant backlink for the slim chance of winning between 5-20 greens! Some newbies may be up for it, but I for one am thinking long term. I'd rather spend more time helping out my own sites, so I can rank higher and get 5-20 greens for myself every day! ...and, I already have a reciprical link with your site, so do I get a free entry? Other things to think of - follow or nofollow? What about robots.txt (disallow a page), auto generating php pages...the list goes on.

 Nor have I said which terms or site I would be linking to, it may be more affiliate than free stuff. I may get limited value but something is better than nothing. My plan was to run the competition through my blog. Entrants could then leave comments explaining where their links has been placed, meaning they would get a backlink themselves as part of the process.

| Almost ready to launch but just one thing concerns me, whether the concept is essentially going to be looked at as paid links. Maybe worrying about something and nothing but there are always people out there willing to make life difficult.
