It wouldn’t surprise me, but it’s not something I’d do.

You’re welcome David, do you think that many people remove the links to you and your sponsors of the prizes after the competition is done ??

Thanks Becky. You didn’t have to, but personally I think it was the right thing to do.

Hi David, I've added the content back in now (thanks google cache).

It’s your content, and you’re welcome to do what you want with it.

Still, I agree with John Cow that it’s kind of like asking for your money back on a lottery ticket that didn’t win.

Thanks for entering all the same.

True Donald. I’m sure people do remove posts after competitions. Just it’s not that hard to track down. Especially with the effort involved. Thanks for your comment !

I did ! Don’t worry Angel.

I was just pointing out a flaw in the whole system. I probably should have saved a copy of my entry to the 4k competition, but I was 1/2 asleep when I deleted it.

It’s almost like stranging your own money. Always keep an eye on your competition.

I just sent you $100. I hope you’ve left your entry up!

I removed that one that had 35 external links on the page. I guess I could have just made all those links no follow. If I had won, I guess it would have changed my mind.

I am just highlighting that competitions can be played. Lots of people play the system. And I am wondering if people who run contests (like you) are aware of this.
