Hello all,
today i would like to inform all of you that the sphere team is using black at SEO to try to win this contest
i was on the first page of google and suddently started to get down and down and down so i had to check what is going on and here is what i found: http://www.seocontest2008-sphere.com/exeko/

this is a copy of the first text i wrote on my page for the contest.
you can find it on many places on the web now because of the sphere team

hi eCliPs16 I would like to agree with you but from the links given , don't see the duplicate content on the links you supplied unless it has already been removed , I checked google cache and do not see it , can you copy and paste the duplicates text or show screen shots with the URL in title bar thanks Just have having your name in their URL would not have any effect on your ranking ( I am sure you know this ) can you explain further , thanks

This is the ONE and only warning - if anyone is found to be duplicating content they will be ineligable to win and in the case of a team if we are unable to distinguish exactly who in that team made the duplication the team will be ineligable.

I would also request that the exeko page be taken down off the sphere site.

I am not a supporter of the duplicat, but it is a competition?
To be positioned well, you make only of the text? You respect literally that say Google?


Cordially
