How To Win This Contest?
Winning this contest is simple. You just have to publish a well written guest post and collect as many points as possible. Every guest post published during the contest period will be a part of this contest so you don’t have go into any formalities of telling me that I wanna take part and blah blah..The guest author who collects the most points wins the prizes listed above according to their position in the chart.
The Points System
For becoming the winner of this contest, you will have to collect points and the author having highest points at the end of the contest will win the prizes.
- For your every guest post that gets published on SmartBloggerz, you will get 2 points. You can submit any amount of guest post for review.
- 10 Retweets of your guest post = 1 point
- 5 BlogEngage Votes = 1 point
- Every unique commentator in your guest post excluding author replies = 1 point
- 5 Digg Votes = 1 Point
[From 2-5 in the above list, I will call it as "social media points"]
That’s it! Collect points and win this contest. But do note here one important thing: the social media points will be rewarded only for one guest post which makes the best in total.
An Example For The Explanation Of Points System
I think most of you have understood the points system for this contest and how you will be earning them. But still, those who are still confused with it, here is an example for an easy explanation.
Suppose a guest author – Mr. SB registers for a contributor account at SmartBloggerz for participating in this contest. He submits 2 articles which gets published, titled as:
- How to Blog
- Importance Of Blog
Now, for these guest posts which then gets published, gives him a total: 2 x 2=4 Points
Now consider that article – “How to Blog” gets ~ 25 re-tweets, 12 unique comments, 10 blog engage votes and 15 digg votes. So on calculating, the total social media points will be: 25/10 x 1 + 12 x 1 + 10/5 x 1 + 15/5 x 1 = 19.5 Points
Again, the article – “Importance Of Blog” gets ~ 20 re-tweets, 10 unique comments, 10 blog engage votes and 10 digg votes. So on calculating, the total social media points will be: 20/10 x 1 + 10 x 1 + 10/5 x 1 + 10/5 x 1 = 16 points
Clearly, the article “How to Blog“ is getting more social media points, thus only those points will be added to points generated by the submission of guest post i.e the overall total of guest author – Mr. SB for this contest: 4 + 19.5 = 23.5 points.
Now I hope that you have understood properly how the points will be distributed. But still!! if you haven’t understood it then forget everything as you don’t have to worry about it. You just have to submit articles for review and everything will be handled by me.
Some Simple Rules
The rules for this contest are very simple but should be obeyed properly…
- For earning “social media points” you can’t bribe or purchase something that would increase your chances of winning. But you can obviously ask your friends, take help from your blog readers for helping you in winning this contest but that should be without any kind of bribe like “I will give you some part of the prizes on winning” etc…
- The Guest articles should be clear in language and must obey the guest posting guidelines.
- Maximum 3* articles will be published in a day on this blog, so priority over publishing will be given to those guest posts which were submitted earlier for review.
- Please avoid submission of such articles which are very basic in nature and whose quality suits only the “Article Directories”. Please try giving your articles a catchy title (if possible and relevant). Use images, heading tags and make it creative.
* most probably one or two per day | Max. 3 only if high volume of submission is noticed.
Tips For Winning This Contest
For winning this contest you can take help of these tips:
- SmartBloggerz blog is suitable for articles related to blogging tips, make money online and seo. So submitting articles related to it could result in better chances over winning the contest.
- You can also publish some interesting guide or tutorials or tricks which are very beneficial for other people. For example: How To Speed Up WordPress Blog In 3 Simple Steps or My 3 Killer Methods To Build Massive Backlinks etc.
- For gaining more re-tweets you can submit an article related to “Twitter”. Similarly, submitting articles related to digg or blogengage will get you more votes on those sites thus increasing your social media points.
Contest End Date
The contest will end on 26th May 13th June completely. Any guest post submitted for review after 26th May won’t be counted eligible for this contest. The result will be declared around 1st June 20th June as I will need some time for evaluating the points.

The contest is very attractive Sushant!! You’ve done it again and this time its a lot tougher, I guess you’ll 3 to 4 posts each day, so are you planning post more than your usual each day. I will definitely participate in this contest.
Best off luck to all!!!
.-= Vishal Sanjay´s last blog ..The twelve billion dollar marketing strategy =-.
The 3 posts per day condition will only come into action if there is high submission of articles for this contest. Otherwise it will be like one or two per day.
Very interesting contest dude. Hope it’ll turn up well. Unfortunately, I cant participate.
My wishes to everyone who participate.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Twitter – beyond 140 characters =-.
Thanks Senthil..Sad to hear that you can’t participate..Any kind of exams coming up your way?
Well if you can participate then you are welcomed do so.
Too bad to hear you can’t participate. What’s wrong?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Result of Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 =-.
awesome contest sushant anyone who will win any prize will be a happy man…..
i am participating in the contest and just need to know that is there any maximum number of posts limit for each guest post….i think this will keep the contest fair, otherwise the prizes that you are offering can make anyone to cheat in the contest….
i have already been a victim when i was once on my way to win my first ever contest when a guy cheated and took my place…so just wanted to ensure that everything goes fine
.-= Tushar´s last blog ..What a Bad Niche Can Do to Your Blog? =-.
Don’t worry…Only quality posts will be accepted and I don’t think someone would just focus over participating in this contest to increase points as they also have their own blog to care of. So I am just guessing that there will be only one or two guest post by every author participating. And as you might have read the rules; the “social media points” will be added from the author’s best post only.
By the way in what kind of contest you got cheated? would you like to tell us?
it was a contest where people have to vote for best guest post and one of the contestants voted for himself many times.i wont reveal his name but he was one of the top commentator here also…..
anyways i need to take your attention to one more thing, you said you will post maximum 3 posts a day…My point is that the 3 posts that you will publish, the one at the top will get the maximum attention and the rest 2 will get neglected…so why dont u take some measure to counter this problem??
.-= Tushar´s last blog ..What a Bad Niche Can Do to Your Blog? =-.
oh okay..but since I have removed the voting system which I actually thought to bring in this contest earlier, I don’t think there will as such any big problem..If I found any author using some bad ways to increase its social media points then I will surely be denying his participation in this contest. So guest authors be careful over that..
And yes, about that 3 posts per day thing..Just read all the comments and you will find my answer to it many times here
I think tushar voting system does not work as much, but social media votes cannot be fudges, because 10 retweets can be fudged , but 100 retweets can be only possible if you have a great article at hand. So i think there is a little chance to cheat here, but if there is, let sushant know,he will get it covered
.-= Gautam Hans @ Blog Godown´s last blog ..2 Ways How To Find Blog Post Ideas =-.
Woah, awesome prizes dude.
.-= Ed´s last blog ..Four Awesome Reasons Why The Cool Kids Love Tech =-.
KNow what Sushant? You really have a good knack on having these types of contest. I think you pretty much attracted good sponsors as well. expect a lot of people to join this contest
.-= Melvin´s last blog ..Why Personal Posts Get LOTS of Traffic =-.
Yeah, Thanks to the sponsors for the support. Expecting your participation also as I want to reveal a secret here that your guest post really receives lot of traffic and comes out to be amongst top 5 landing pages in Google Analytics for that month. Your earlier two guest posts received traffic mostly from social media sites so you should really think over participating.
Anyways I don’t think 3 articles per day would be feasible I mean. Most of the times, those articles will get very little traction and social media attention..
maybe one per day would do it since i think the qualifications for the quality of the post should be a bit higher since this is a contest.
Just my 2 cents
.-= Melvin´s last blog ..Why Personal Posts Get LOTS of Traffic =-.
Actually it’s gonna be one or two per day only…but suppose if the load increases(like 5-6 articles submission every day) then I would really have to increase the limit so that other people articles can also be considered in this contest. I just wanted to make everything clear so there doesn’t arises any kind of problems later on.
Great contest. And after looking at the prize list. I am thinking to participate now.
Hi Shushant,
Do we need to write about this contest on our blogs?
Count me in for the contest.
Thanks a lot,
-Onibaluisi
Naah..I didn’t say that..It’s your wish if you want to blog about it or not..But its not a task for this contest
This is great news, I wish you good luck with this contest my friend, I am sure you and blog participants will have a lot of fun
.-= Hesham @ FamousBloggers´s last blog ..Get MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate Now for a Third off the normal Price =-.
Thanks Hesham..Hoping your participation also
Hmm, I’m so very busy right now. But maybe I’ll see what I can muster up for an entry or two. The prizes are very tempting. I will definitely spread the word and amp up the competition. Contest are such fun!
.-= Blog Angel a.k.a. Joella´s last blog ..10 Ways To Reduce Blog Bounce Rate – Offer Your Sweetest Sticky Buns =-.
Ya, the prizes are very tempting, that’s what my aim was..:o Thanks to sponsors for making it happen.
Wish you a good luck over participation…and also thanks for re-tweeting it
I must agree with Melvin, 3 plus articles per day are not going to get the attention they deserve, not by a long shot…2 per day is pushing it.
Just a thought.
.-= Dennis Edell @ Direct Sales Marketing´s last blog ..Comment Contest April – – Winners! =-.
Actually it’s not gonna be 3 plus articles per day, it will be only Max. 3 per day and it will only happen in the rare situation that if the volume of submission of articles increases highly. Otherwise the blog will be only updated with 1 or maybe with 2 posts.
I just wanted to put that rule keeping in mind all the possibilities of this contest so that people don’t get confused that why there articles hasn’t been published and blah blah..
That’s an amazing contest with lots of tempting prizes! I’m proud to be one of the sponsors, and I’ll also take part in the contest. I’m sure you’ll probably get 1-2 guest posts a day from now on. There are some prizes that I like to win, so I’ll probably join the contest.
Stay tuned for my 1st guest post Sushant.
Regards,
Lee
.-= Lee Ka Hoong@Blogger Theme´s last blog ..50 Free Professional Blogger Templates =-.
Thanks lee for such nice words..Also thanks for sponsoring. Will be waiting for your guest post to come up for review.
There is an error on the example of the point system. 1 approved article equals to 2 points. It supposes to be 2 x 2 articles = 4 points instead of 3 x 2 = 6 points. So Mr.SB will only get 4 + 19.5 = 23.5 points.
Correct me if I’m wrong Sushant.
Regards,
Lee
.-= Lee Ka Hoong@Blogger Theme´s last blog ..50 Free Professional Blogger Templates =-.
Thanks man..Corrected it now. Actually, while I was preparing this post, I thought to put 3 guest post by Mr. SB in the example but then I thought to make it 2 to remove unnecessary information but looks like I forgot to change something in there. Thanks for looking at the post carefully and pointing out the mistake
.
It seems to me that this trend of guest blogging competitions are here to stay. and great prizes btw. I will see if i can get my article through

Wow! That’s fantastic. A guest posting contest with so much up for grabs. I have my exams in this month so I would not be able to participate but this is surely a big one from SmartBloggerz.
Very Nice.
when can i send my guest post….i have it ready ..already….
.-= mk akan´s last blog ..My First 50 Blog Posts: Lessons, Mistakes and Achievements =-.
just log into your account of SmartBloggerz contributor account and then submit it for review..
What if my article will be published in the last week of May or on the last day?
The first few articles will get much more attention (especially with the related post-plugin). Can anyone win by getting his guest post published at the end of the contest?
.-= Martin@Cornyman’s Money-Blog´s last blog ..How to earn 900$ each minute with Goldman Sachs! =-.
That’s why I told that priority will be given to those posts which are submitted earlier. That’s how the contests works! If you participate in a contest later the your chances of winning it might be lesser but not always!
I’m also thinking to extend the contest end date for a week..so that could be good news for you..You can submit your guest post within few days if you are concerned that it won’t get much attention.
Do you mean extend the contest for a week (to give a chance for late entries to get comment and social media point) but there will be no more guest blogging entries accepted during that week?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Result of Smartbloggerz Commenting Idol 2 =-.
Everything will be informed in the middle of this month..So wait till that time.
I think this method would be good, no more guest post entries at earlier date, but counting score date make it a week after the closing date so that late guest post can receive more comments or give them a chance to promote it.
I’ve submitted my guest post last week but I think there is still quite a number of guest posts in front me.
Keep us updated Sushant.

Lee
