retsambew dash klat for Charity

The new SEO contest hosted by Webmaster-Talk.com has started! It’s different than many of the others in the aspect that it rules out any age factors of a domain name and any advantages of being the first to have registered the keyword filled domain (if you believe it does give you a small advantage).

The start date for this contest was Monday April 3rd and the end date is Friday September 1st.

This contest has a great group of sponsors with prizes totaling almost $5000.

The first place prizes include:

* $325 Paypal cash from Tim Schroeder (that’s me!)

* $50 Paypal cash from Praveen of Webmasters-Cavern.com

* 1 copy of SendStudio and 1 copy of TrackPoint from Interspire.com $478 value.

* 1 copy of evoArticles by evo-Dev.com $247 value.

* 25,000 free email credits (each credit is worth one email to be sent) through Vertical Response. $300 value.

* 1 copy of Spy Sweeper and one copy Window Washer by Webroot.com (with 1yr updates) $59.90 cash value. And if you join them as an affiliate you will get one full year at 60% commissions regardless of volume.

* 6000 series Speakers from Dustin07 of TechnicalCableApplications $92.99 value.

* Free Logo Design by Logo-Mojo.com. The Bronze Package valued at $249.
