This December, Nibbler’s giving away $300

Amazon vouchers

As well as being a useful tool for testing your website, we also wanted Nibbler to be a fun site for web developers and designers. There’s already been some tussling for the #1 top user spot on the leaderboards which has changed several times, in this week alone.

The competition and the prize

As if getting to the #1 spot wasn’t enough of a reward in itself, we’ve decided that with Christmas coming up we’d like to give some special presents to those that reach the prestigious top spot.

So we’re giving away three lots of Amazon gift vouchers during December – worth $100 each. That’s not to be sniffed at, so please share this article and let’s get as many people as possible involved!

How to win

We’re running the competition three times in December, and will award prizes for the top user on these dates:

  • Wednesday 7th December
  • Wednesday 14th December
  • Wednesday 21st December

Just to be fair, if the same user is #1 for all three weeks, we’ll award the other two sets of vouchers to the #2 and #3 users.

Rules

Read these carefully, we don’t want any cheating going on!

  • The winner will be the member who is in #1 position on the top user leaderboard at exactly 4pm GMT on Wednesday 7th, 14th and 21st of December.
  • A member can win only once. If the same member is at #1 position the following week, we will award the prize to the first runner up. If we find that a member has created a duplicate account, the winner will be the next runner up and the duplicate account will be deleted without warning.
  • In the unlikely event of a tie (where more than one user has the exact same score), the award will be divided between the winners.
  • Nibbler has many users from all over the world so we’ll try to get vouchers for your local Amazon store, (Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de etc) to the value of $100 USD which will be converted into your local currency.

If you’ve won, we’ll contact you after the date and send you your voucher by email.

    Darn it. Isn’t changing ranking algorithm in the middle of a competition like changing the rules.

    Guess I’m just a tad upset that the crazy “incoming links” loophole is removed. (1000 pages from ONE website linking counts as 1000 “incoming links”.) :D

    We changed just two of the tests that we thought were marking unfairly. Incoming links like you mentioned was marking sites very high for many incoming links, but not taking into account if they were all coming from the same website! We’ve improved this to encourage and reward linkbuilding from many different websites.

    Also we recently fixed a bug affecting the popularity score. Websites that were subdomains of a popular domain were being awarded the popularity score of the full domain. For example anyone can create a WordPress.com subdomain eg something.wordpress.com but their site probably doesn’t contribute much towards the popularity of the domain. So we now look at how much traffic the subdomain contributes.

    There’s still time to win this year, we’re announcing the 1st winner today – but we’ll be awarding another winner next week, and another the week after.

    shame the number 1 spot has the same sites duplicated across different urls and that’s how he gets most of his points :(

  • http://www.facebook.com/drball David Ball

    Hi Neil, that’s not actually true. You only score points by collecting new badges, and you can’t collect the same badge twice. Claiming similar/duplicate sites won’t get you any new badges, unless it qualifies you for a multibadge.

    I’m just writing an article that lists some of the rarest badges, ones that haven’t been claimed yet (because they’re very obscure!). I’ll post it on Monday

    Because of the way the multi badges work now, it is relatively easier to get multi badges. In this case I have to validate one template for multiple domains, but the content still has to be optimised for each indivisual website.

    I have also commented on this issue in your post about multi badges.
