The cheating part....I think it would be very abnormal to have over 100 contestants competing for a significant cash prize and not have at least a few cheaters. So I imagine there musy be a few. It'd be interesting to see if anyone was in fact DQ'ed from cheating and what basis was made for the conclusion. I'd almost think that a real effort to increase subscribers permanently would lead to a sustained cash flow from advertising that would far exceed the cash prize gained by winning from subscribers that were illegitimate or just temporary.

As one of the contestants who just started blogging about 1 week before the competition started, and had just 1 subscriber at T0, I would have liked to see some type of factoring for brand new blogs and bloggers, as opposed to the older ones with so much more experience. But even without that, the whole idea is really fun, and I'm learning a lot from the other competitors, which for me, was the point. So, well done Daniel, for the idea. And since I have a captive audience here, please check out my "SEO Give-Away" competition at http://debizqablog.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/seo-give-away-competition/ :-) Very good post.
