Will Benj Arriola get his Citroen C2 (first prize) in exchange for his SEO efforts? Many Filipinos and non-Filipinos all over the world watched the clock tick waiting if Mr. Arriola’s globalwarming awareness2007 entry will keep his #1 spot on this year’s SEO World Championship. The contest officially ended on May 1st 6pm EST (May 2nd 8pm in the Philippines) and Benj didn’t let go. He went through it and stayed on top.
But wait…
While we already know that Benj stayed on top, there are still a few things to check and one important factor that is causing and will be causing tension for the next 24 hours is whether Benj Arriola followed the webmaster guidelines presented at here. If he breaks any of the guidelines mentioned then he may just lose his trophy and end up with nothing.
“I do not see my entry breaking any guideline,” said Benj so we all look forward to a worldwide announcement.
Another troubling thing is the following statement posted on the contest’s official website
