Hi Chris, my guess is that the only way to avoid this is to pay for the private contest, which you can probably still do. LT doesn't get to decide what's high on search results lists except for excluding items altogether -- and for that, they charge a fee. Otherwise, it's up to the page rank and the search terms to determine what's high on the results list. That's just my two cents, but I'm nobody! I've emailed the admins to let them know about your question, and hopefully you'll hear from them.
