April contest and other thoughts..

Posted on April 3rd, 2008 by John

First I’ll talk about april contest. This new contest I am starting will have more prizes. In cash I will start with 25 USD for first place and 20 USD for the second. First place will also get a 125×125 banner on this blog. I will get more prizes from more people, I’ll try to find more sponsors. If anyone is interested in offering something for this contest please contact me.

The rules :

  • The contest started on 1st of April and will end on 1st of May
  • Prizes will be updated until the end of the contest
  • Each week the best comment will get a prize of 10$
  • You must comment only this month’s posts
  • Commentators must be subscribed to Perfect Blogging Rss Feed

Later edited: I added a new rule (the last one) when I woke up at 4:11 PM because I couldn’t sleep. I will also add few more rules soon.. you can come with suggestions too. That’s all. I will get back to sleep (at least try).

Good luck eveyone and keep commenting!

    Hey Stefan,

    I’ll be here the whole month commenting :)

    It’s hard not to when you’re offering such great incentives.

    I really like the best comment of the week prize, because it will really encourage people to put more thought into the comments they’re making and make valuable additions to the discussion.

    Keep up the good work,
    Hafiz Dhanani

    Cool! :P Generous!

  15. Stefan, on April 5th, 2008 at 1:31 am Said:

    Yes.. it’s that easy :)

    nice job stefan..

    any chance of winning by commenting?? ;)

  17. Stefan, on April 5th, 2008 at 2:05 am Said:

    Yes, the top 2 commentators will win at the end of the month.. read the post.

  18. @balootisme.com, on April 5th, 2008 at 3:11 am Said:

    does you’d ‘follow’ tag?? ;)

    if you’d that ‘follow’, it will give another benefits for top commentator..

  19. Dennis Edell, on April 5th, 2008 at 2:56 pm Said:

    Hey Stefan, can contributors still win other prizes? I’d be happy to throw in some EC credits of you’d like.

    Let me know. :)

  20. Leslie, on April 6th, 2008 at 10:09 pm Said:

    Hi, Stefan…
    I would like to ask you a question…Can I break my comment in a post into several comments? In usual condition, of course I will not do this as this means extra work. But, during a competition this could pump our number of comment. Sorry if my question sounds funny, but I’m really curious about this as I am new comer here and didn’t join last month competition.

    His feed count is really high! I think it starting rolling from the link he got from John Chow.

  22. Hafiz Dhanani, on April 7th, 2008 at 8:02 pm Said:

    VERY attractive.

  23. Hafiz Dhanani, on April 7th, 2008 at 8:03 pm Said:

    Just make sure that they are quality comments that actually contribute to the discussion on Perfect Blogging.

  24. Hafiz Dhanani, on April 7th, 2008 at 8:05 pm Said:

    I don’t think it’s really based on luck. A prize goes to the top two commentators and the best comment of the week. It’s more about participation and quality of comments.

  25. Hafiz Dhanani, on April 7th, 2008 at 8:07 pm Said:

    I’d only do this if you have a long comment with multiple points. Otherwise it could be viewed as cheating.

  26. Leslie, on April 7th, 2008 at 10:31 pm Said:

    Got it! Thanks.

  27. Leslie, on April 9th, 2008 at 6:59 pm Said:

    Another question (also to add my comment :) ), please advise when the weekly top commentor will be decided. Every Saturday? Or it’s a secret :) ?

  28. Moldova, on April 10th, 2008 at 6:07 am Said:

    Earning money for sharing your thoughts with other is a very good and original idea.

  29. Louis Liem, on April 11th, 2008 at 8:39 pm Said:

    Here I go commenting! Watch out up there! :)
