According to the rules:
The goal of the Speller Challenge (the “Challenge”) is to build the best speller that proposes the most plausible spelling alternatives for each search query. Spellers are encouraged to take advantage of cloud computing and must be submitted to the Challenge in the form of REST-based Web Services. At the end of the challenge, the entry that you designate as your “primary entry” will be judged according to the evaluation measures described below to determine five (5) winners of the prizes described below.
The contest seems to be for students, but it is open to anyone except:
- Entrants who are younger than 18 years of age
- Residents of any of the following countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria
- Employees of Microsoft Corporation or an employee of a Microsoft subsidiary
- Persons involved in any part of the administration and execution of the competition or
- Immediate family (parent, sibling, spouse, child) or household members of a Microsoft employee, an employee of a Microsoft subsidiary, or a person involved in any part of the administration and execution of this Contest.
I hope lots of good hackers enter this, because I could always use a better spell checker.

Bulk pagerank checker?
Feb 28th
I wish to rank high in google and that is why i have started with link building and link exchange.
On one of the forum sites an expert commented that exchanging link with a high pagerank site will help my site rank high.
Which script or software is available in the market to check pagerank in bulk because i have managed to find out links of sites i wish to exchange links with but finding pagerank of these sites one by one is too slow 
thanks and regards,
James
Where can I find a web based bulk PageRank checker to check thousands of pages at once?
Feb 25th
I need to check thousands of google pageranks at a time. Anyone know of an online service where I can do so? I run Linux, so a windows download will not do.
Fake Pagerank Checker
Jan 23rd
We try to rank things in order to manage the complex universe around us. We try to get that 4. 0 GPA, the highest ranked university and want our favorite team to rank best. The Page Rank designed by Larry Page of Google is a rank assigned to each of the pages that are indexed by Google. This page rank is calculated(http://www. sem-faq. com/improve-google-pagerank. php) using the “Backrub algorithm” and is often considered to be a proxy for Google’s search ordering. In other words, a high Page Rank(PR) page will rank higher on Google(all other factors being the same).
There is a vast and growing market for text links. A lot of highly ranked sites think of outgoing links as a way of monetizing their site (supply) and businesses that need visitor/search engine exposure buy the links(demand). While the purists may look askance at such a market, supply and demand is what the market makes.
Even the Garden of Eden had a serpent, and one would be surprised if all was as it seems in the text link market. Indeed scams abound, ranging from “no follow tags”, pages removed from navigation, or included in robots. txt file. But, there is a scam that gets almost everyone, except the truly paranoid. This scam is “Fake page ranks” or URL jacking.
The mechanics for spoofing the page is extremely simple and the results are awe inspiring. Using this technique, one can get any page rank they wanted. . . even PR-10. So, the burning question of how to do it? All one has to do is to obtain a throw away domain and do a 301 redirect in your . htaccess file on it to a page with PR. You want PR-5 ( http://www/ixs. net) to make it more credible, or with your boundless ambition, you want a PR-10 page. . . the choice is yours. Let’s assume that you chose the latter. . . and you can point to Google. com itself and inherit it’s PR-10. After Google PR update happens, you can detect Google bot and selectively forward it to Google. com itself. Everyone else gets to see your site and its fancy PR-10 rank.
So far so good. You have done nothing illegal, immoral, unethical etc. Things can go downhill from here though, if you attempt to sell the domain, or sell links from this website based on it’s PR—sheer fraud, in other words.
The webmaster who plays with 301 redirects is actually losing out in the end. His rankings will not rank higher. . . in fact the site won’t even get cached by Google.
For kicks we did a case study and picked up a domain from expiring domains that purported to be a PR-7. We chose a subject near and dear to our collective hearts(NOT!). . . Michael Jackson. We gave this Micahel Jackson tribute site, http://www. mjpromotions. com/ kind of a snazzy look, quickly wrote some content for it.
We also wrote a tool which allows you to check to demonstrate that the page rank is completely fake. http://www. sem-faq. com/fake-pagerank-checker. php .
Acquiring domains or website or even purchasing links is a risky process, fraught with all kinds of frauds. During the process of due diligence, we propose that you consider a Fake PR Checker as a tool to avoid getting conned by URL Jackers.
