Hello Readers. I know many of you were waiting for the results of guest blogging gone crazy contest that was organized recently on this blog…Well that day has come when I am happy to unveil the winners of the 5 cash prize winners of this contest.

This contest had $1050 in cash prize to be won by 5 top performing guest authors and many authors participated as well as actively promoted their guest post to fight for their place in the winners list.

Here is again, the prizes for top 5 places if you have forgotten that:

1. First Position - $550
2. Second Position – $275
3. Third Position – $125
4. Fourth Position – $75
5. Fifth Position – $25

By organizing this contest, I learned many new things. I also noted few points related to conducting a contest on which I will be improving on in the next contest that will be organized in near future…plus I also understood that it’s not a good idea to organize such a big contest during college days (when it’s hard to find time) So most probably the next big contest like this one will be organized during my long holiday break…But don’t worry, I will be conducting some contests on a smaller level sooner or later on this blog.

Ok, so back to the results thingy…But before that let me THANK the sponsors of this contest again with the help of whom I was able to bring up the cash prize to $1050.

Thank you “Estava Morioka” and “The Bad Blogger”. I hope you enjoyed and benefited by being a sponsor of this contest.

LET’S TALK – THE WINNERS

It really did take a lot of time for me to calculate the points. Going through all the collected data; checking the dates, IP addresses, pageviews log, seeing if anything was unusual in the collected data etc. is really not an easy job. But I somehow managed to complete the calculation stuff and can report you the correct results today (although not 100% accurate)…

I hope you have your music players loaded with drum roll sound because you need to play it before you see the winners list…

Authors can personally send me an email and ask for their (only) personal points calculation file. I have created a text file for every guest author with proper breakdown on how the points were given for their guest post.

Here is the final points tally for this contest:

Many of you who are staring the above image, let me write it down for you…The winners of this contest are:

1. Lee Ka Hoong – wins $550 for his guest post: 7 Practices For Bloggers To Build Trust From Readers.
2. Melvin – wins $275 for his guest post: Why Most Bloggers Don’t Make That Much Money.
3. Felix Albutra – wins $125 for his guest post: 6 Steps to Build a Profitable Niche Website in Just 7 Days or Less – Guaranteed!.
4. Devesh – wins $75 for his guest post: An Ultimate Guide To Get Traffic To Your Blog.
5. Jeevan Jacob John – wins $25 for his guest post: Do You Get Long And Valuable Comments?.

CONGRATULATIONS to the winners! I hope you will enjoy once the cash prizes reaches you.

On a side note, I want to mention here that if ‘anyone’ is having any kind of problem regarding the above calculations then just send me an email and explain it properly so that I can look that up. The cash prizes will be sent after 48 hrs. So if you have anything to tell me that may affect the above standings (mainly the top 5 standings), then please tell me about it asap.

I will personally contact the winners on how to receive your cash prize. So don’t worry about that.

Hope everyone enjoyed this contest and got to read some great posts on this blog. Keep reading SmartBloggerz because there is lot more to come!

On 7^th of October, all the guest posts that were submitted before 25^th September for inclusion in SmartBloggerz’s Guest Blogging Gone CRAZY Contest were completely rolled out and published.

NOW is the time when you should start promoting your guest post to earn as many points you can and to win one of our cash prizes.

Promote your post till 17^th  20^th of October 2011 and whatever you earn till that date will be counted in the final tally. The final results will be revealed around 28^th of October.

How YOU Can Earn MORE POINTS?

Earning points in this contest is very SIMPLE.

First of all; I will recommend you to write a new post immediately on your main blog where you can explain something related to your guest post you wrote on this blog, then ask your blog readers to help you win this contest by commenting and sharing your post and then add the sponsors code in that same post. CLICK HERE TO COPY THE SPONSORS CODE. This will earn you 1500 points directly. Once you have done this, just send me that url so I can look at it.

Then, ask your friends and readers to comment, retweet, like/share your post on Facebook, stumbleupon and LinkedIn. All this will give you certain amount of points clearly explained in the official contest post here.

CLARIFICATION : What Is Stumbleupon Like/Share And Where Can You See The Count?

Recently, I had one guest author who was having some confusion about the stumbleupon count. So I want to clarify what I will be counting during the final tally and what you should NOT assume. Have a look at the screenshot below:

The above screenshot shows StumbleUpon count for the official contest post. As you can see, the StumbleUpon box shows a number (75). This is what I am NOT going to count.

The REAL share/like count for your post appears when you click that button and hop over to the stumbleupon page of that url; in this case – http://www.stumbleupon.com/url/www.smartbloggerz.com/2011/08/guest-blogging-contest-gone-crazy/.

I hope this explanation clarifies this doubt if you were having it in your mind.

Turn On The Ignition

So, its time for all the guest authors who are a part of this contest to start promoting their guest post NOW. I will release one more update before announcing the final results. WISH YOU A BEST OF LUCK!

{UPDATE}: Dates have been slightly changed because my internal exam in the college is interfering with the results date. Sorry for this small delay. Keep promoting.

The blog hasn’t been updated from last 5 days and the credit goes to my college. It made me so tired and busy throughout these past few days which made it impossible for me to update the blog with new content.

But now I’m getting back on the track slowly so I thought to put this quick update about SmartBloggerz’s Guest Blogging Contest.

The quick update is that I’ve extended the date a little. Now you can submit your guest post for review by the end of 25^th September and you will be eligible for the contest. Guest Posts submitted for review after 25^th September won’t be counted as part of this contest though it will be published on the blog.

If you have any questions then just ask it below in the comments or email-me using the contact form on this blog.

Having a great weekend? YES, I’m asking you; the one staring like an owl.

Anyways, it’s time to bring-in some updates for the ongoing Guest Blogging Gone CRAZY contest which is actually going quite CRAZY and you should not miss this opportunity to win cash prizes for guest posting on this blog.

This contest started with $900 in cash prizes but now we have one more Gold Sponsor which brings the total cash prize to be won at $1050.

Let’s Welcome The New Sponsor…

The new sponsor for this contest is The Bad Blogger. So let’s welcome and thank him for becoming a sponsor and making the cash prize rise up to $1050!

Read the main guest blogging contest post to find out what’s the new cash prize you will be getting at various winning position.

SMARTBLOGGERZ – Main Sponsor ($750) SmartBloggerz helps bloggers and affiliate marketers learn what it REALLY takes to make money online and be successful online just by implementing the tips that are shared regularly on the blog and to those who subscribed to the private newsletter. ESTAVA MORIOKA – Gold Sponsor ($150) Estava Morioka is the premier resource for the American Party Girl. Their online boutique offers Stylish, Inexpensive, and High Quality party dresses, cocktail dresses, sexy party dress and sexy club dresses. THE BAD BLOGGER – Gold Sponsor ($150) “The Bad Blogger” is a blogger who blogs about Internet Marketing, Copywriting and Blogging related Topics.

On a side note, you can still be a sponsor for this contest (click here for more information)…

Promote Your Guest Post Using HIGH CTR Banners

From last some days, I was thinking how one can promote his/her guest post entry to earn more points and that too free. I decided there is nothing better than asking your own visitors. So, I created two HIGH CTR banners which you can easily edit to add your gravatar and link it to your guest post here. You can easily put these banners on your blog to promote your guest post.

To edit these banners, just open it in paint and put your gravatar in place of the white box. Make sure you save it in the same image format (.png) otherwise the quality will go bad.

1. 250 x 250 Banner (Recommended)

Grab your gravatar and place it on the white box. Make sure it should be of  80×80 px. size so that it covers the space completely.

By the way, the author box that appears below your guest post on this blog shows the gravatar of the same size. So you can just save it your computer and place it there.

2. 468 x 60 Banner

In this banner, you have to place a 40×40 px. size gravatar. Just resize your gravatar which you can get from the trick mentioned above.

This will REALLY help you to increase your points and be the leader in this contest. In case you want my help then just contact me using the form.

There is NO Mandatory Task, but…

… now you get points for adding the sponsors code. Yes, for adding the sponsors code you will earn points just like any other way to earn points in this contest. For adding the sponsors code inside a new post in your main blog, you will get 1500 points. I think it’s a great way to make a lead in the contest

That’s it in this update for the contest. Don’t forget to READ the main contest post for new guidelines and other info. In case you have any questions then don’t hesitate to ask me below or by sending me an email using the contact form. The contest is going to heat up in few days as I step-out to market it. Just wanted to warn you by saying this

Alright, it’s time to unveil it — Guest Blogging Gone CRAZY II Contest.

This time you can win $900 $1050 HARD CASH (actually virtual money ) just by getting your guest post published on this blog and getting as many points as possible (how? – keep reading…)

You can easily take away some cash with you when you submit your guest post starting from today till September 25^th. Every guest post submitted before September 25^th will be taken into consideration for the contest if it meets SmartBloggerz’s guest posting guidelines. BUT, only 1 guest post will be published everyday to give a fair chance to every guest author.

The circulation will continue even after September 25^th if there happens to be a case that this contest gets a lot of posts. That means, there is no expected date that when this contest will end and the results be announced, but I will keep you updated when required by making updates on the blog and on the SmartBloggerz’s facebook fan page.

First Thing First – The SPONSORS

This time I was not much interested to approach businesses myself to sponsor for this guest blogging contest. I was thinking to be a sole sponsor for this due to lack of time. But just a week ago, I made a special announcement post to unveil the awesome promo banner for the contest and to see if there is someone interested in sponsoring the contest to receive huge benefits.

Well, soon I got an email from someone who happily wanted to become the ‘Gold Sponsor’ for this contest and with this, the contest is now having $900 $1050 in cash prizes that some of YOU can grab a share from…

SMARTBLOGGERZ – Main Sponsor ($750) SmartBloggerz helps bloggers and affiliate marketers learn what it REALLY takes to make money online and be successful online just by implementing the tips that are shared regularly on the blog and to those who subscribed to the private newsletter. ESTAVA MORIOKA – Gold Sponsor ($150) Estava Morioka is the premier resource for the American Party Girl. Their online boutique offers Stylish, Inexpensive, and High Quality party dresses, cocktail dresses, sexy party dress and sexy club dresses.   THE BAD BLOGGER – Gold Sponsor ($150) “The Bad Blogger” is a blogger who blogs about Internet Marketing, Copywriting and Blogging related Topics.

Thank you to the above sponsor. In case you want to sponsor this contest then don’t forget to read this page for more information. You have 4 more days to decide!

UPDATE: We have one NEW Sponsor now.

“What Will I Get?”

Ok, now I think you definitely want to know what you will win in this contest on various positions. Here they are:

1. First Position - $500 Now $550
2. Second Position – $250 Now $275
3. Third Position – $100 Now $125
4. Fourth Position – $50 Now $75
5. Fifth Position – $25 – NEW!

How many of you want that $550 cash prize…?? I see many of you saying “Hell YEAH!”

In case more sponsors come forward, the cash prize for each position or the number of winners will be increased.

The EASY Points System

The formula to win this contest is SIMPLE. Earn as many points as possible…Here are the ways the points will be allotted to you:

• 10 Unique ReTweets (will be tracked using tweetmeme {for posts with high retweet counts} and topsy) = 50 Points
• 10 Facebook Likes/Shares = 50 Points
• 10 LinkedIn Shares = 50 Points
• 10 StumbleUpon Likes/Shares = 50 Points
• 10 Unique Comments/Commentators = 100 Points
• 100 Unique PageViews (tracked using Google Analytics) = 50 Points
• Adding the sponsors code in a blog post (not in this blog, in YOUR blog)= 1500 points

That’s it! Ask your friends everywhere to support you once your post is published and you can EASILY earn these points.

NOTE Regarding Sponsors Code: YOU have to paste the sponsor code in your blog post. For example you can easily create a new post in your blog asking for support from your readers and in that you can also include some details about this contest with the sponsors code that you just need to copy-paste in it.

Once you have done that, it should appear almost like the way it appears in this post. Then you need to send me an email using the contact form so that I can check that whether you have done this properly or not. In case you face any issue with the code or its appearance then don’t hesitate to contact me. I will fix that for you.

IMPORTANT GUIDELINES AND NOTES – MUST READ

• The prize money will most probably be sent to you through PayPal. But incase I can’t send you due to some unforeseen situation, then you need to have an AlertPay account already to which I can send you the prize money. If any of the winner happens to be from India i.e. my country, then the money will be sent through NEFT.
• The calculation of points will be made as accurate as possible although I can’t guarantee you 100% correct points distribution, but I will try my best to do so.
• I am not going to count the ‘direct hits’ in Google Analytics for your post while allotting points for the number of unique pageviews.
• AVOID using any such marketing techniques : popup ads, email blast to list which you don’t own, proxies, purchasing votes, traffic from PTC sites etc. If you are found to be using any such method then you will be kicked out of the contest. SO please confirm whether your marketing tactics which are similar to these are allowed or not by contacting me. Although you can use any safe advertising methods like Adwords, Facebook etc. to market your post.
• Make sure you paste the sponsor code as it is without editing much, specially the links.
• Do read out the guest posting guidelines here.
• Every guest post published after today till the contest ends will be considered as a part of this contest.
• You may use the promo banner of the contest in your post but please upload it to your own server (not compulsory).
• Author Comments will not be counted towards points. But it is ADVISED and RECOMMENDED to respond to each and every comment. According to my own study, it helps attracting more commentators to comment when they see high comment count.
• You can submit as many guest posts you want but ONLY the BEST one (based on points) will be counted in judging phase.
• Sponsors CAN take part in this contest.
• If you are going to add sponsors code in your blog to earn points then make sure, that blog is one of your main blog and not just any random blog from your pocket or using any free blog sub-domain.

* These guidelines can be changed anytime without any prior notice.

It’s time to say…GO! Open your mind and start writing a FANTASTIC guest post that can help you win in this contest. Don’t forget the amount of benefits you are going to get while guest posting on SmartBloggerz. More surprises and information to come very soon…

Have any question? Ask it below!

UPDATE: This contest has a NEW sponsor now. The cash prizes have been increased now!

UPDATE 2: New mportant updates can be read here.
