Mike Dammann has launched his own Directory Contest. It’s a twist on the regular SEO contests and it’ll be interesting to see how it pans out.
I’ve got two entries
In both cases the links aren’t visible on the directory homepage and the links are 2 or 3 clicks into the site.
This is a term used in the ’80s to describe mass immigration to NZ by people from the Asian region.
While this has changed NZ I believe it’s for the better and don’t have any problem with the changing face of our country.

I’m on the committee of the WTK BMX club and we have a handful on the committee who need minutes mailed to them. That increases the running costs and effort but we can’t expect everyone in our worlds to be online now can we?!
