ok i have some question and suggestions for SEO contest!

First please mention is there any closing date to enter in this contest? if not then please mention this word in your post

Why one member one entry? why not more than one? i know by this one member can win 2 prize. but i have suggest this will beneficial for contestants as well. You should allow multiple entires for the contest but also mention that one price for one member. (this is happened in every SEO contest)

What did you think guys?

[ybbot]
