There was a problem in the email you sent out about this contest. All your links don't work, at least for me. I'm using netscape. I hope they work in internet explorer.

I wish I could get Google to pay me a visit! I've got all those nice pages waiting to be spidered, and Google's nowhere to be seen,

Here Google! Nice Google, Got some nice food for you!

Or at least, if you don't visit my site, stay away from the other contest entry sites too. Yeah, that's it.

MissDonna,

Hold your horses (had to find a way to get a horse quote in there for MissDonna... cha-ching). You've got plenty of time. The first prize point calculation isn't until 9/1/03, so as long as Google works it's magic on your site before then, you're golden.

You're welcome. It's our way of providing a little bit of incentive and (I'm hoping) a whole lot of fun between now and the Christmas rush. This little niche of ours is exploding and we're looking forward to a very green Christmas for both UrbanScooters.com and our Affiliate Partners!

Hello All,

MissDonna had pointed out a rule that needs clarification... and I'm here to tidy things up with an official answer.

The question:

If an affiliate gains multiple listings in the top ten on a specific keyword will the affiliate receive prize points for each individual listing?

The official answer:

Yes. An affiliate will receive prize points for each individual top ten listing on a specific keyword with one exception. That exception is that each top ten listing must be from a different web page. A single web page may not receive prize point credit for more than one top ten listing on a specific keyword.

If anyone else has a rule they need clarification on... let us know and we'll set things straight!

Scoot On,

Frank

http://abestweb.com/banana.gif THE 9/1/03 PRIZE POINT RESULTS HAVE BEEN TABULATED! http://abestweb.com/banana.gif

Congratulations to everyone awarded Prize Points in the first stage of our contest. Check your email... all contestants have received an email stating their personal scores.

The top ten contenders have earned prize points as follows:

40600.00
24283.90
3636.95
1791.41
1617.31
1435.59
400.00
225.00
123.55
105.62

WoW! http://abw.infopop.cc/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif 40,600! Mr./Mrs. First Place is off to quite a head start. But don't think this contest is over... far from it.

For example;

Scoring a number one ranking on a Level 1 Keyword on 12/1/03 grabs 9,000 prize points. Rank the keyword below that as well and you nab a total of 13,500 prize points for hitting a home run on a SINGLE keyword! Bottom line... as we get closer to the conclusion of this contest the prize points ramp up and you earn more prize points per keyword. Elvis has not yet left the building!

The Scootsational Instant $200 Cash Bonus

No one has hit a Level 1 keyword yet. Don't forget the Scootsational Instant $200 Cash Bonus. Be the first to score a Level 1 keyword and CHA-CHING $200 schmolies.

Good luck to everyone... the 10/1/03 prize point tabulations are just around the corner!
