* Blog Contests & Tips *
Ok folks, I will be overseas for work for a few days time so do check my previous post to see how to contact me. Have fun and enter a contest today!
In a few days time, I will be overseas for work purposes for a couple of days and on the move so I will probably not be able to keep track of things here. Don't fret! I will approve any comments and reply to any emails when I return and will also get you the latest and best blog contests then. If you need to contact me or let me know anything, just use the 'contact me' form to drop me an email and I'll reply on my return on 1st December 2007. There may not be Internet access all around in the country I'm going so I will probably only be able to get back to you on my return. Have a great week ahead!

Treizie (Jaesten) and Phos Tan are having a joint contest with a weekly prize of $20 via Paypal and 2 Technorati authorities. That's a great idea for new bloggers who are not making loads of cash yet but who still want to increase their viewership.
To enter, you must subscribe to their RSS by reader and email, fave them in Technorati and make a constructive review of their blogs and contest with 2 links each to the homepages of Blank Mind of Treizie and Phos Tan as well as to Treizie's contest page and Phos' contest page. Wow, lots of links! Do check out their contest posts for the full details and rules.
The Blank Mind of Treizie blog is in 3 column style which allows her to maximize the space for ads. This is a double-edged sword as many bloggers have mentioned before. I guess finding a balance between monetizing your blog and having an overkill of ads is the way to go. Nonetheless. Treizie blogs about a myriad of topics so her blog could be suitable for a range of people. I also like the tagline "Thoughts of a blank mind" as it seems conflicting and thus causes you to ponder over it. So do go and have a look!
Phos Tan's blog is where he shares his fun and cool ideas on several topics, anything from technology to finance to games. This is again a grey area as the debate between putting out a general content to attract many people versus putting out in-depth and specialized content which builds depth and adds to 'stickiness' rages on. So there is no right or wrong but a choice by the blog author. I do like the look of his blog, especially since it originated from Jackbook who has got some cool templates. Like Treizie, he uses a 3 column template to maximize space and has lots of ads. I also like his idea of a "viral blog review" where he trades links for writing a free review.
So get entered in their contests today.
P.S. Treizie's son is really cute!
Nomar is having another of those great cash contests to promote his Webmaster Forum and KingNomar blog. The prize is $100! He's got a nice community going there so you'd want to check it out. Full details on the links and requirements for the contest are available at his contest post.
Contest ends 30th November 2007 and a minimum of 15 blog entries are needed before the prize will be given away to a random winner.
Good luck!
Can't Get Rich is an interesting new blog which was started to spread the belief that you cannot get rich online. I can't say I subscribe to that but he's having a nice contest to give away a $100 gift certificate to the Apple store.
To enter, blog about the contest in more than 3 sentences and what you are going to do with the prize. If I win, I'd add it to the "pamper the other half" fund if you get what I mean.
Also, you will have to link to his Can't get rich main site.
Finally, give him a link to his contest post and you're in the running for the prize as long as he has a minimum of 20 entries at the end.
Contest ends 1st December 2007.

Nonetheless, he's got a great tagline - let's make money online and I'd boldly add - together!

The rules for the contest, which he has modified to make it easier to enter, are as follows:
Rules and Regulations:
The contest starts from October 8th 2007 & ends on November 24th 2007 and the winners are announced on November 28th 2007.
1) All blogs are allowed to participate except Porn and warez blogs.
2) The review must be 250 - 300 word post on any category.
3) Also let your readers know about the author of TechTreak.com is narendra.s.v and link to this contest page.
4) To participate, please comment at the contest post along with your post’s permanent link!

7) All sponsors, team and family members of TechTreak.com are NOT allowed to participate.
8) Your review must be submitted @ Bestofindya.com.
9) You must add the coded links found on the contest post @ the bottom of your review without any modification.
Please check out the contest post for full details and the latest rules (in case he has made any further amendments).
On to the review, TechTreak.com is a website on technology, gadgets, Web 2.0 and much more – it covers quite a sizeable range of topics, including one of my favorite topics on making money and even topics related to health! With the breadth of topics, you’ll probably be able to find something down there which interests you. It is commendable that there is a relatively high frequency of postings on a myriad range of topics. A caveat is that the broad range of topics may come across as not very focused and may also make it difficult for the author of the site to build depth for each category.
The website has a nice, “designy” kind of look and is very well monetized with its three-column layout and lots of ads. One note of caution here, not everyone likes a site full of ads so one thing I could suggest for improvement is to reduce the clutter somewhat to avoid what I call “visual overload” on the part of visitors.
Of course, the making money section is one which greatly interests me. Narendra has created an interesting wordpress plugin called the Customized Random Top Ads Plugin which you can use to keep 6 different google products or other referral links at the top of your blog and these are rotated randomly when the page is loaded or when the visitor clicks on the “Next Tip” link at the top. He’s also got an article with some good tips on how to improve the link popularity of your site. Again, to be brutally honest, while I enjoyed the posts in this category, the section is crying out for more articles and in order to become a “sticky” website for me, I think there needs to be a reduction in scope while improving the depth of certain categories.
Thanks Narendra for submitting your contest to me! Go give him some support!

And so the contest bandwagon goes rolling on...It's great to see so many blog contests coming up. Keep it going folks. And I'll do my part in trying to promote them! So our latest first contest holder is Simon at Yeepage. The first method of getting a shot at the prizes is to comment in his contest post. Does it get any easier than that? His contest rules are as follows:
-Any spam comments will be removed from my posts.
-For every 100 comments the prize money increase by $10.
-200 Comments I’ll PayPal $20, for 300 Comments I’ll PayPal $30, for 400 Comments I’ll PayPal $40, for 500 Comments I’ll PayPal $50 you get the idea.
-Example: On the 20th Dec 2007, I have a total of 452 comments Iwill give the prize to the person who wrote the 400th comment, likewise if Ii get 699 comments I will give the prize to the person who wrote the 600th comment. So basically the higher the comments the more I pay…. So make me broke for Christmas.
-Winner needs to do short write up with proof of payment, after contest closes with a link back to his contest page.
Bloggers who write about his contest in around 100 words and put links back to the contest post and to his homepage like what I've done get a shot at an additional $40, to be drawn randomly i.e. via a lucky draw system. Remember to email to admin@yeepage.com to inform him once you've done so. The prizes for this contest are quite good so do head down to give Simon your full support.
Contest ends 20th December 2007. Check out the contest post for full details.
