Unfortunatly all “Rank For Shoemoney” contests will end today around 5pm cst. I really wanted to see what would happen but theplanet.com (my hosting company) has said they have recived over 500 complaints for spam and unless I end this contest they will disconect my server.
I really did not forsee the spam problem… What a newb I am.
I totally underestimated what people would do for a few dollars.
Anyway screenshots of results will be posted later today.

Wow. That pic of the bald guy holding the check next to the hummer is pretty amazing! Especially since the giant check casts no shadow on the ground or reflection in the hummer. AMAZING!
I guess contest like this is a great challenge for SEO enthusiasts. SEO Philippines founder Marc Macalua also launched a contest: The Isulong SEOph Keyword Ranking Contest.
Well I hope it would be as successful as the Shoemoney contest which I myself is an avid fan too.
FYI Your site has been tagged by Spam Karma 2 and Akismet Spam filters for Wordpress.
Where was this posted? I’d like to read it.
Maybe you could donate the prze money to a charity?
I must be missing something… If you wanted to get a competitor’s server at the planet disconnected, all you have to do is spam some blogs with links to the competitors site?
Adam that is a funny article! Are you serious at all though? ShoeMoney has posted several images including
this one and Markus has shut his mouth fast.
I was curious to know what this would do:

oh well… it was fun while it lasted
It’s a shame… i just started playing three days ago! (without spam!).
But well the problem is.. that most of ppl use BH for fast results.. you should gave more time ,,,,
I suppose people will do anything for money, sounds like some people have gone over the top though and you do right by stopping this.
Maybe next contest (small one) you can pick a different search term
Wow sorry to hear that. I was looking forward to the results.
Everyone knows you to pay up. I mean you were the bigest cash sponsor of most of the seo competitions to date so I am sure its not about the money.
I think its totally understandable. Don’t sweat it dude.
