I had to search for words at websites.
I couldn't find one of them, it's a three letter word.
I have to build a coherent sentence from the findings and submit them.
Here's what I have so far...

10 Letters = 1 (Prosperous)
8 Letters = 2 (Sponsors, Holidays)
7 Letters = 2 (Holiday, Pimprig)
6 Letters = 1 (Season)
5 Letters = 1 (Happy)
4 Letters = 5 (Year, Keep, Safe, Wish, This)
3 Letters = 5 (You, Our, New, And)
1 Letter = 1 (A)

WTF would be the sentence and the word I'm missing?

***Edit
Here are the links to the pages where the word is supposed to be...
http://www.frozencpu.com/index.html?cid=prf
http://www.frozencpu.com/satellite.html?cid=prf
http://www.frozencpu.com/cas-313.html?cid=prf

***Edit again
Here's the semi-coherent phrase I made out of the words...
"This Holiday Season our Pimprig sponsors wish you Happy Holidays, keep safe, and a prosperous New Year."
I know that sucks. A word is missing, too. :(

They are highlighted in the webpages.
Links are provided.
The last one is hidden, the clue is "Let your mouse do the looking".
I've scrolled each webpage and searched every square inch to no avail.
I figured it'd be a mouseover but nothing became apparent.

In the rest of the pages it was a simple blue or orange word hidden in text.
Some were simple, some were difficult.

If you don't give us the link, how would we know? Anyways, I'm guessing it's 'for' or 'the'.

I added the links.
I think the answer may be pretty obvious if the string of words in my OP were woven into a coherent sentence.
I'm struggling with that, I don't know why.
Patience factor, I suppose. :)

This some sort of new marketing scheme? You'll buy something if you stare at screen long enough?

Here's an easy example...
http://www.mnpctech.com/HCGrills.html
Scroll down halfway to the Santa with bewbs and you'll see the word "Keep" in orange.
That's one of the words I had to find.
Some of those "hidden" words are in blue, some are in orange.

On all the others, it was just on the linked pages.
Some words only had one linked page so it was easy.
For others there were three or four pages you had to look at to find the word.
(The word will only be at one of the pages, not all of them).

I even looked at all the satellite pics to see if the word was photochopped in, but no weeyoo.
I don't think the gist is to follow out links, it hasn't been the case in any of the other ones.

Actually knowing web page coding may aid a bit, as it is certainly not as obvious as some of the other cases.

Without such knowledge, a mouse is most definitely required.

I searched around mouseover, javascript, the colors that the "hidden word" was supposed to be, and most everything else I could think of in the source code.

Granted, I'm not the greatest with html but I should have been able to pick up something.
I came up with nothing.

It appears it should be at the third page according to the clues I've gotten, but it still isn't clear.
From the clues, it appears it's supposed to be a mouseover image.

Begin here.

It isn't on the above page itself, but rather on one of the subsequent pages that particular page leads to.

Man, I'm just not getting it.
I've been at this since 8 this morning and I'm simply missing the obvious.
I checked all links out from the sattelite image page and still didn't find anything.
I looked at all the pic addresses and source code for the individual pages.

It seems every clue I've gotten contradicts another one.

At this point I'm willing to just forego the contest to see the word "and" (that's my best guess being it's the only word that would make my mass of words a coherant sentence).

Just to be certain, you are aware that the point of view sections have several images (which can be navigated to by the "left" and "right" buttons), yes?

Wouldn't want to assume anything.

If you're absolutely dying to know, send a PM, and I'll disclose a bit of further instruction as I wouldn't want to spoil it for anyone else.

Yes, I do.
I even checked them.
I've got to go out, but I'll take a look a little later and see if I can find something.
If not I'll drop you a pm.
Thanks!!!
