2006-06-07 [Hedda]: Feel free to put questions here as comments!

2006-06-07 [kittykittykitty]: I doubt myspace profiles will ever be at the top of those link lists? I could make mine an elfpack shrine :P

2006-06-07 [Hedda]: As the list is pretty empty now, I'm sure you have a good chance. Just drop a link to it from this page and I'm sure it will be found.

2006-06-14 [The Darkest Star.]: Would anyone mind if I corrected the typos?

2006-06-14 [Hedda]: Not if you do it correctly ;)

2006-06-15 [The Darkest Star.]: Super!

2006-06-15 [Hedda]: I'm not sure about English, but I pretty sure it should be "similar". There is a " first, so the S shouldn't be upper case. 

2006-06-16 [The Darkest Star.]: But it's still starting a new sentence. It doesn't matter though. Overall it's your page and what you say goes :)

2006-06-16 [kittykittykitty]: Yup yup! Always a capital letter to begin a sentence :)

2006-06-18 [Hedda]: [kittykittykitty]: No, definitely not. If there is a quote, then it has to be correct. Like this sentence: "eHrqwrdt" is my password.

2006-06-18 [Hedda]: Same goes for: 4711 people signed the letter

2006-06-18 [Hedda]: In the "similar"-case it's less obvious what it should be, but as the S isn't first, then I wouldn't make it upper case.

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: i dont understand how you get a page to show up on there lol!

2006-06-26 [kittykittykitty]: Just get lots of links to your page from other places and Google should find it eventually :)

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: how? lol!

2006-06-26 [kittykittykitty]: Bribe and sex people to add your link everywhere :O

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: How do you add a link to a page?

2006-06-26 [FireGypsy]: Sorry im just retarded lol

2006-06-27 [kittykittykitty]: You mean in html? <a href="http://www.elfpack.com/">Linky namey here</a> o.O

2006-06-27 [FireGypsy]: thats it, you just put that on a page and thats it? I still dont get it lol!

2006-06-27 [kittykittykitty]: On a page that uses HTML.... that's all you have to do :) And write about it a little so you can add www.elfpack.com more times in your text. I guess..... though I'm surprised that nothing is coming up in the search yet. I've linked to EP on my myspace for months o_O

2006-06-27 [Hedda]: [kittykittykitty]: It might be that Google doesn't find enough links to that page. Or that you have too many links on it.

2006-06-27 [Hedda]: [kittykittykitty]: MSN has found your link at least.

2006-06-27 [Hedda]: I'll use the MSN-rating if Google can't find anything. This function just doesn't seem to work well on Google.

2006-06-28 [kittykittykitty]: Ooooh MSN found me ^_^ Maybe I need more links to EP for Google to find it. I've seen it link to myspace pages a lot in the past

2006-06-28 [FireGypsy]: Ima go try it on my mysapace or something, let me know if it works =)

2006-06-28 [FireGypsy]: myspace is being a complete retard right now and keeps freezing on me and shit.

2006-06-28 [kittykittykitty]: I don't trust myspace since it started sending my messages to the wrong people.... it has waay too many glitches. Kinda makes you grateful for being able to report bugs on EP ^_^

2006-06-28 [FireGypsy]: the only google search ive seen that the links actually come up in are under www.elfpack.com and then at the bottom you click "find pages that contain www.elfpack.com" and some come up that way.

2006-06-28 [FireGypsy]: I dont think it works, i put elfpack all over everything on two different places and i cant find anything but actual elfpack under the searches.

2006-06-28 [FireGypsy]: so it can be a cuthug page right?

2006-06-28 [kittykittykitty]: No, it can't be a heddate-site :P

2006-06-28 [FireGypsy]: does yours show up?

2006-07-15 [Hedda]: Now this comes up, but there is no link to Elfpack here (I have to admid that Google's link-to-search just doesn't work, even if it's a little better this time): http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=16690502

2006-07-15 [Hedda]: As for the prize (A link from this page): That has suddenly become very much more valuable as this page has a ranking of 6 or 7! So if a page it's listed here, it really exist and will be easily found.

2006-07-15 [FireGypsy]: Google sucks lol! I have tried to get like 3 pages up by putting www.elfpack.com everywhere! and linking it everywhere! But no such luck...

2006-07-15 [Hedda]: It will find your pages eventually... Maybe before you die...

2006-07-15 [Hedda]: You need to have a page that a lot of people link to from other important pages. It's not that easy, of course.

2006-07-15 [FireGypsy]: Im trying to get www.myspace.com/ravendark to come up =(

2006-07-16 [kittykittykitty]: So.... if we put a lot of links everywhere, like on EP itself, there's more chance it will come up in the search? :) I have it linked from my house and other profile-type pages. I guess google isn't looking at those either ;_;

2006-07-16 [Hedda]: [kittykittykitty]: Your Elfpack house can be found in a Google-search at least.

2006-08-06 [Hedda]: Still no new results in the search. Google is doing a bad job... :-(

2006-08-06 [kittykittykitty]: :( You must switch to a different search engine. I know there are quite a few members who have links to elfpack on their pages too....

2006-08-06 [Hedda]: As I said: I'll use search.msn if Google doesn't start working.

2006-08-16 [Hedda]: Just a test:
http://elftown.lysator.liu.se/_creature_list

2006-08-16 [FireGypsy]: o_O

2006-09-12 [FireGypsy]: Hey if you type just elfpack.com under google you can see my myspace! Still not near the link though....google sucks!

2006-09-12 [FireGypsy]: Ok I kiinda found something on msn. If you go to advanced search and click site/domain and clikc "exclude pages from this site" it will search for stuff linked to elfpack but NOT elfpack. Its the bext ive found. [Orestez] is first. Mine is up there too! [kittykittykitty] is there.

2006-12-11 [Zombie girl]: what do you think of my wiki linking to elfpack

2006-12-11 [Zombie girl]: its the best i can do that and my myspace is linked here too

2006-12-11 [Hedda]: It's great! More links to Elfpack!

2006-12-19 [FireGypsy]: Wow this is ending pretty soon! How are you going to go about finding the linked page? Are you just going to type "www.elfpack.com" in google? Because I can only find elfpack pages when I try to find "linked" pages in google. I haven't really tried any other search engines.

2006-12-19 [Hedda]: You can see the page where I'm talking about the problems I've had with [krill]'s motherboard That would make me of a winner, sort of...
http://scottstuff.net/blog/articles/2005/03/17/msi-rs480m2-il-athlon-64-motherboard-mini-review

2006-12-19 [Hedda]: But I'll skip me. Right now the ones in the lead are:
http://worthlessragdoll.deviantart.com/?offset=75 [The Darkest Star.]
http://teenagers-world.tripod.com/id2.html (Unknown)
http://www.freewebs.com/gashnau/ (Also unknown)

2006-12-23 [The Darkest Star.]: I'm in the lead?! That's mental!

2006-12-31 [Hedda]: So in order, we have the following winners:

http://vampirefreaks.com/u/Lavender-Chaos-Angel [Sonya Blue]
http://worthlessragdoll.deviantart.com/?offset=75 [The Darkest Star.]
http://teenagers-world.tripod.com/id2.html (Unknown)
http://www.freewebs.com/gashnau/ (Also unknown)

2006-12-31 [The Darkest Star.]: Wow, thanks [Hedda]!

2006-12-31 [kittykittykitty]: Congrats :)

I guess the links from myspace weren't showing up as well as those :/

2006-12-31 [The Darkest Star.]: Yeah, I would have expected a lot of myspace links to appear. And thanks, [kittykittykitty]!

2006-12-31 [hyolfskie]: YAY ANGEL!...you rock!

2007-01-01 [FireGypsy]: I was counting on Google. If you go to google, I was like number 2, guess I was wrong...

2007-01-01 [The Darkest Star.]: Did you use this? http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=link%3Awww.elfpack.com&btnG=Google+Search&meta= I think that was what [Hedda] was using, and, excluding the Heddate sites, I get the same results as he does...

2007-01-01 [FireGypsy]: I have tried that, and before, nothing but Elfpack sites came up. So it wasn't looking for sites linked to elfpack, it was finding all elfpack pages. If you type www.elfpack.com in the search bar and nothing else, it WILL find sites that have a link to elfpack on it. Which is where mine is located.

2007-01-02 [Hedda]: Oh, you mean on http://vampirefreaks.com/u/Burnouthappy

But that link doesn't point to Elfpack! It goes to a non-existing user "www.elfpack.com" on Vampirefreaks.

You have to write "http://" to make it correct. Like this:

<a href="http://www.elfpack.com/">www.elfpack.com</a>

Otherwise the URI will point to the corrent page + www.elfpack.com. Like this bad link: <URI:www.elfpack.com>

2007-01-02 [FireGypsy]: O_o I did lol! I placed it in the URL section of my profile. Just like that http://www.elfpack.com.

2007-01-02 [Hedda]: No you didn't! The link you have on http://vampirefreaks.com/u/Burnouthappy doesn't point to Elfpack. Click on it and you'll see!

2007-01-02 [FireGypsy]: I did!!

2007-01-02 [FireGypsy]: No not that one!!! The links at the WAY bottom! I never noticed that one lol! There are TWO links to elfpack at the bottom of the page ^_^

2007-01-02 [Hedda]: Oh, but the other one points to http://elfpack.com/member.html?membernr=1621 and not to www.elfpack.com so it's not strange that it doesn't show either.

2007-01-02 [Hedda]: But now the www.elfpack.com links work just fine

2007-01-02 [FireGypsy]: Yeah, so now there are TWO links to elfpack on my page, and then one that directs to my house lol! ^_^

2007-01-17 [tazz]: is there some one with this

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: What?

2007-01-17 [tazz]: this contest

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: What do you mean is there someone with this contest?

2007-01-17 [tazz]: sory i ment help me with this

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: Oohh! You need an outsite website to link Elfpack to.

2007-01-17 [tazz]: yes the onely thing i could think of was Yahoo or Yahoo360 but i dont know how

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: Well, I dont know about those. Do you have a myspace? All you need to do is put an <a href=www.elfpack.com>www.elfpack.com</a> somewhere on the website.

2007-01-17 [tazz]: thank you

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: No problem ^_^

2007-01-17 [tazz]: it will tack a little wial but it will get dun

2007-01-17 [tazz]: ithink im done

2007-01-17 [Hedda]: Gah no! [FireGypsy] needs to learn HTML!

You have to write:
<a href=http://www.elfpack.com/>www.elfpack.com</a>

Without "http://" it will not link to Elfpack.

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: jnmvsduhmkvjbhmisudmgubhs!!! I am so used to never NEVER EVER using http:// EVER that I just dont use it anymore haha!

2007-01-17 [Hedda]: Well, and that's how you lost this competition 2006

2007-01-17 [tazz]: Hedda i know you may get this a lot but did i do this right i put a quick link to elfpack on my yahoo360 and it works

2007-01-17 [FireGypsy]: No, because I had elfpack linked TWICE, just so happends that ONE of them wasn't working ^_^

2007-01-19 [Hedda]: [tazz]: I don't know where that page is or how to find it. Give a URL!

2007-01-19 [tazz]: try this ok (http://360.yahoo.com/my_profile-TLOCG7w7dKPOu1E0qYzRJKkIrOzb;_ylt=AvaK51myUB4msp1kY3XZWky0AOJ3)

2007-01-19 [tazz]: thank you

2007-01-19 [tazz]: now i have a link frome my EP page to my 360 - and frome my 360 to elfpack login page im trying to xeport a wiki thru googl i dont if it will work

2007-01-19 [tazz]: its not dun yet but here is the wiki im trying to export to google Love&Friends

2007-01-19 [FireGypsy]: It cannot be a Heddate site. Including Elfpack. Putting an Elfpack link on an Elfpack wiki will not work. It must be an outside site.

2007-01-30 [tazz]: i have one its on my yahoo 360 - (http://360.yahoo.com/my_profile-TLOCG7w7dKPOu1E0qYzRJKkIrOzb;_ylt=AvaK51myUB4msp1kY3XZWky0AOJ3

2007-02-05 [tazz]: heres my new one (www.freewebs.com/artfriend) thats the best i can do

2007-02-05 [Hedda]: [tazz]: The link has to point to "http://www.elfpack.com/" to be found in this search. It might work with elfpack.com, but I don't think so.

2007-02-06 [tazz]: i will fix it sorry hedda

2007-02-06 [tazz]: [Hedda] i went and looked i dont know how people do it but mine is a link to elfpack just click on http:elfpack.com and it will bring you to elfpacks homepage

2007-02-06 [FireGypsy]: He understands that, but the competition search will be "www.elfpack.com" and not "elfpack.com" so it might not show up in the search.

2007-02-06 [tazz]: oh i see thank you i will try one more time

2007-08-19 [FireGypsy]: I can never find any sites when I search. [Hedda] are you coming up with anything?

2007-08-20 [Hedda]: This Google search is ust working very badly.

It's only the MSN-searches that work.

2007-08-20 [FireGypsy]: I tried that one too though O_o

2007-11-17 [FireGypsy]: I think I see a turn around, Google is working again, and MSN isn't. Google works if you go to advanced search, and put www.elfpack.com in the "don't list any pages from this site" and then type www.elfpack.com in the search.

2007-11-18 [Hedda]: But that lists pages with "www.elfpack.com" in them, and that's mostly Elfpack images.

2007-11-18 [FireGypsy]: When I do it I get nothing from www.elfpack.com, including images, and I get pages that have the words "www.elfpack.com" in them, which are usually links.

2008-01-04 [Hedda]: http://en.netlog.com/Carny_ belonging to [Fairyland Fanfare] is the only page I can find and I had to do a search for "Elfpack site:www.elfpack.com" on search.live.com to find it as it's not a normal link straight to Elfpack. It's never the less a working link, so she'll win.

2008-01-04 [Hedda]: But as that is a page she doesn't use, the prize is quite useless... Hm... I can of course do the www.elfpack.com search.

2008-01-04 [Hedda]: There... Winners declared. I hope Google get their search working so that I don't have to cheat to get some winners.

2008-01-09 [Skittles 254]: Hello everyone.....

2008-01-09 [FireGypsy]: Pity, because my page is the first one to come up if you go to google.com and search www.elfpack.com and then doing advanced options and making it so no pages FROM www.elfpack.com show up. And then all the pages linked to elfpack but not elfpack show up. I have never found a page to come up by searching for the link. It just doesn't work.

2008-01-09 [Hedda]: [FireGypsy]: Have you tried to delete your Google-cookies? Google remembers that you usually click that link, so so it will be first in your list.

For me www.myspace.com/elfpack is the first link after Elfpack itself when searching for www.elfpack.com

And then some Heddate-places and search engine spams.

2008-01-10 [FireGypsy]: Hmm, you may be right. I haven't tried it after deleting cookies. But there is always next year =)

2008-01-11 [Hedda]: Google also sends different answers in different parts of the world. As written in the rules here, it's what I see that counts.

2008-01-12 [FireGypsy]: Google sucks

2008-12-29 [Hedda]: Grrr! Google can't find any new links at all now.

2009-05-22 [kittykittykitty]: Hmm that is strange... Google is only showing elfpack pages :s

2009-05-24 [Hedda]: Yes, this function on Google sucks.

2011-11-07 [Stephen]: So does that mean that this contest is no longer valid?

2011-11-09 [kittykittykitty]: Well , I'm seeing 7 links on the search right now. Weird that those show up and no others.

2011-11-09 [Stephen]: Weird.
