French SEO Contest

A French SEO contest started few days ago, and will end on April 1. It is played on Google France (.fr) and I guess it will remain a French contest only.

Keyword is 'tiger l'osmose' which means nothing in French. Exact query is http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=tiger l'osmose

It is organized by http://www.concours-viral.com/
Contestants are required to register. The list of contestants is at http://www.concours-viral.com/gamers.php

One of our members, Jan, is listed there:

Thanks for publishing the news John, and thanks for listing my contest URL.

We, poor French webmasters, will be very busy in the next weeks, having to run 2 contests at the same time: the French one, the one v7n organizes But I am sure comparing both Google International and Google France will be very interesting. For example, I hope I will learn more about the influence of hosting geolocation and backlinks geolocation.

If some of you guys in the US, UK or elsewhere want to join the French contest, we will be happy to play with you.

For the prize, follow the link "Cadeaux" (means gifts in French) on the organizer's site: http://www.concours-viral.com/cadeaux.php

No money prize, but gifts given by partner sites. So far:
- 1 year for a bots crawling and trafic analysis service (Spywords)
- 1 directories submission service (Indexurls)
- 1 SEO package (Refrapide)
- 1 directories submission service (PackRef)

Well, we don't really play for the prize, but for fun.

Welcome to v7n Sid

They win the stuff on the "Cadeaux" page.

EDIT: I was a bit slow.

Jan I couldn't tell, but do the winners win all those things or do they pick one?

Well, it's a good question. I will have to ask the organizer to precise this point and let you know. The page just says :"... gifts to be won by the best ones of you".
Maybe it's one gift for the 1st, 1 for the second, etc...

Jan, can you translate the 'How to register' stuff in to English? Thanks.

If this contest just started, boy did it get a lot of listings real fast, if it had zero before the contest started. The Redscowl Bluesingsky one has just 31 or 49 listings depending on the data center!

Very Cool! Contests are just springing up all over the place...

That's what I came in for, mostly just for fun, and to learn in the process... But who doesn't like trying to win something?

Joining Form:
http://www.concours-viral.com/inscription.php

Concours = Contest.

Le concours de référencement 2006 est édité par l'outil de référencement PackRef.

The deadline for registering for the contest will be the 15th of March, 2006 at Midnight (French Time). The registration form will be taken down at that time.

Afin de recenser les candidats officiels, l'inscription est obligatoire sur le formulaire prévu * cet effet.

A link to the Form.

Le but du concours est d'arriver * positionner une page web (correspondant au domaine inscrit) en première position du moteur de recherche Google.
Your goal in this contest is to get your web page to be the first listing in Google (France) for “tiger l'osmose.”

La page de résultat présentée ci dessus jouera le rôle d'arbitre, c'est * dire que c'est cette page de référence qui déterminera le vainqueur le 1er Avril * 12H00 (Heure France)
The un-biased results of this search: http://www.google.fr/search?hl=fr&q=tiger+l%27osmose , will determine the winner of the contest on April 1st at 12:00 (French Time).

Le gagnant sera le particpant (inscrit obligatoirement) qui figurera en première position des résultats naturels.

Les adresses email des particpants ne seront conservées que pour la durée du concours et seront détruites * son issu.
Your email address will be kept private and on record during the contest. All records of your email address will be destroyed at the end of the contest.

Elles seront utilisées dans le cadre de la loi "Informatique et Libertés" du 6 janvier 1978.
The usage of the email addresses and will be done in accordance with-in some French laws set down in 1978.

Vous disposez donc * tout moment d'un droit d'accés, de rectification ou d'annulation du mail indiqué.
So you will have the right to access, correct or delete the email that you registered with. (My translation of that was kind of iffy)

Le particpant est déclaré responsable des informations saisis dans le formulaire d'inscription.
The praticipant is responsible for the information sent through the registration form.

Ainsi l'éditeur ne saurait être inquiété des donnés qu'il affiche émanant des saisies du dit formulaire.
So the editor is not responsible for whatever is submitted through the form (Iffy translation). Don't submit anything confidential?

Le vainqueur se verra avertir de sa victoire par l'éditeur (par email) la semaine suivant la fin du concours.
The winner will be informed of his victory by email one week after the end of the contest.

Les lots offerts seront distribués le plus rapidement possible aux participants en respectant l'ordre du classement final.
The prizes will be distributed as quickly as poissible to the winners by their finishing rank.

Ainsi le premier choisira son lot, ensuite le second choisira parmis les lots restants et ainsi dessuite ...
Les lots proposés sont visibles sur cette page :

Et peuvent évoluer par la suite.

So the first place winner chooses his prize, then the second will choose his prize from the remaining lots, and so on...

http://www.concours-viral.com/cadeaux.php
Prizes are subject to change.
