How To Join

1. To get the official contest code, go to the Contest Code generator page on BayanihanSEO.com. You will be asked to enter your full contact information. All winners will be required to present valid IDs when claiming their prize.
2. For the BPS software to recognize your contest entry, the official, unaltered contest codes need to be present on the specific page that is ranking. If the BPS software cannot find the official contest code on the specific page, no points will be credited to you. Random checks of websites in the top 100 will be conducted throughout the duration of the contest. Any attempt to modify the contest code will be grounds for disqualification.
