[…] By the way, the official contest terms and conditions for isulong-seoph has been revised. Among the new terms, whoever wins will have to show their faces in public — as in a press release. Wow, you win and people get to know who you are. It’s actually kind of a deterrent to some isulong seoph participants (like me). If I get lucky enough to be there on the top spots, I’d be shy. No. Really.. I would! […]

83. isulongseoph.ph - June 14, 2006

a case of ‘conflict of interest’

Alleba is one of the sponsors of this contest, i believe, offering P5,000 for the first prize winner.

But when you try to submit a link to their directory, it requires everyone to place a link back to their ‘isulong seoph’ initiative (www.isulongseoph.ws) as a requirement for the submission

read this: http://www.alleba.com/addurl/?ID=391

and to quote:
++++++++++++++++++

Reciprocal Link.

12. You must provide a link to Alleba’s Isulong Seoph initiative. This is a required step. Submissions without reciprocal links shall not be entertained!

++++++++++++++++++

this simply means that every site submitted to the alleba directory should have a link to their own isulong seoph website (their initiative). The result is that their site will have the most number of backlinks because every submitted site will now be a sporting a link to it.

This does not seem right. It’s like joining a raffle where the buyer would just be writing the name of the sponsor (or prize giver) on each and every ticket.

I think the contest organizers should clear this thing up… If ever this is just an experiment or test, then this should be explicitly explained. What happens if their ‘initiative’ wins first prize? Will they be collecting the prize they are sponsoring?

Just asking for the sake of clarification. I believe this is best asked now, and not after the dust clears.
