This $5 prize will be given to the person who gets 5th Position in the Top Commentator category in this contest. This way, now every category winner in Commenting Idol – 2 is getting some cash prize.

Other than that, 1st, 2nd and 3rd position grabber in the Top Commentator category will be given one Premium WordPress Theme, Single Package worth $49.90 each. This prize is being sponsored by KreativeThemes.

Change In Rule

There have been only little bit change in the rule for winning in Best Promoter Category to make it easy for participants. Now Tweeting the contest step have been made optional.

It’s getting Hotter…

With everyday passing, the contest is getting more attention. Thanks to all the participants. In the next few days, I will be starting Bidvertiser Campaign to promote this contest as there were some $$$ left in that bidvertiser account. I hope you will like the new prizes and modification in rules.

    1. You’re the one who said : “see more from you”.
      Which mean, you tell me to going more, will you regret it in the end? Haha…!!! But i believe, you’re not that easily beaten.

      Argh, if only you’re not appear, i may have a bit relax since Lucifer and Jahangiri seem to reduce their commenting activity. LOL.

      1. i Have Not reduced the activity but i dont think it is a right thing to do just go on commenting on the back post which are there from very earlier but we did not commented their but as this contest is up then we go on every post and comment over them and sometime reply to the comments which were made long ago and the original author of the comment will never come to see at this time who has replied to him after months…

            1. I don’t think we should not comment on old articles. I can see lot of comments in new ones and it makes the pages load slow. This is the particular reason why I go back 🙂

                1. And now, you’re the one who too confident? Too confident to beat me? So scary :P. It’s 11.05 PM on my local country, go sleep, Senthil 😛

            1. Just to advice, buy a snack, make a coffee, and listen to classic music it’s helpful to make you can commenting more comfortable and not easy tired.

              Lol, you said about a thing you also do to me. My activity now is mostly used to reply your comment, especially this day.

      1. His name is actually not Mathew..I added that name because he was directly using a keyword in the name field which was against my blog comment policy.

          1. Can you please let me know the URL where you find that comments bcause I’m not able to find it with my wordpress search..Or probably I would have corrected it but not remembering..So could you please make it confirm…

          1. All is posibble on this commenting contest. Example :
            – Senthil is joined on the 6th day, but now he is #2
            – Jenn is starting to rock unpredictable…!!! I’m sure she will reach #4 in near time
            – Jahangiri and Lucifer stop their crazy comment activity in the first week
            – etc……

        1. Thanks for the appreciation. Well, but sorry, now i’m going to make a correction. Even pareto principe is not running on this commenting contest. It’s because, i think 90:10 principe is more fit for this case. Do you think so?

          Maybe from 1000 comment, the top 5 make about 900.
          .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

      1. Ok typhoon, let me opine :

        The contest is for 22 days later. A lot of participant already come. But we got the fact, only top 3-4 is active, the rest is giving less update. I’m sure 500-600 comment already reached in this month. Do you tired also for moderate it one by one + managing spam + sometime replying?

        Huahahaha…..ok ok…not should to be serious, what i wanna say is : How about make it ended faster? Maybe on 25th so the prize can be used for Christmas.
        .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

          1. Thanks for considering me and Senthil idea.
            So if it’s changed to 25th december 2009, it’s mean 16 days again. It’s very helpful. I’m waiting for the update.

            1. I think that would be unfair for everyone. I think there are some rules that can not be change half way thru the contest. Its okay to you Akira because you are leading but how about those behind you? Do you think if you are in third place and you still want to win you like the contest ends early?

              Think about it.

              1. So, now you’re not want to get the commenting contest ended faster? Ok, me too. Since i get so many critique about it :P. Thanks about it. It’s useful critique.

                Then, from now, no discussion about it again, ok?

                Ended here 😛
                .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

  1. I thought that yo u are going to announce who is on the top right now but hey it is just a re-post of the contest itself.
    I guess that the reason for you not announcing it is that we could already see it on the top commentator plugin. Now the a question arises concerning that since some of the comments posted aren’t qualified to be accepted on the contest so it would be really nice if you post who is ahead.
    .-= Paul @ entertainment tonight´s last blog ..Manny Pacquiao will be Fighting Floyd mayweather Jr =-.

    1. Obviously, I won’t tell that thing easily. You can see the leaders in the sidebar widget but I can’t tell you their numbers so easily. You will have to keep checking the blog from time to time because everyday, I make the numbers appear secretly without knowing anybody for 5-1 minutes and then reverse it back. So be active and keep refreshing, you may see it anytime 😉

            1. Hey jus get rid of the comment id thing. it doesnt matter at all. keep eye on recent comments and top commentators thing to show the numbers. if u see just mail me and I will do if see. Deal?

        1. It’s not fixed. But on Monday, Wednesday, Friday..Somewhere between 3-6 pm and on Tuesday, Thursday, Friday I see it between 6:30-9 pm..On Sunday, Anytime!

          1. I just got that change to see for 1 times. Well, mostly time i’m online is on late morning. Sometime, activate it on my local late morning time.

            I’m sure, i will be shocking when seeing the number. Maybe it’s already reach 500 appproximately?
            .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

        1. No i’m in confusing about the paul request to reveal who is ahead. Well, i think i’m now understand. It’s about to reveal the valid comment number only.

          Well, paul, since it’s accepted, i think all comment is valid.
          .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

            1. Read especially about how to awake when you’re falling. And also about time management. Those 2 things is mostly useful for this commenting contest.

    1. Welcome to the contest…!!! I’m waiting to see you join to top commentator list. Well, i find you’re already join for 4 days but not too many comment yet. Go, bro, it’s not enough to win…!!! Make another thousand comment 😛
      .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

  2. Senthil is now no.2. What a rapid movement..!!! He is start posting just for 2 days, right? What i should do? Hahaha….Typhoon, since it’s too tired sometime, how about make a non-commenting day? It will be useful :P. Lucifer and jahangiri, where are you?
    .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

              1. Another example is come for article with list. For example : 10 ways of twitter monetization. Each point can be discussed, and it will make a lot of comment.

                And in the article, there will be discussion about twitter itself, experience of other member, etc…A lot of topic to be talked
                .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

          1. Haha, it’s seem a bit figthing here. But i’m on neutral side.
            It’s because i’m also commenting on recent post, but i will make it relevant to the current condition.

            For example : If the post is about 100+ do follow forum
            I will make comment : “Not all list above do-follow again nowadays, some of theme change the rules, so…….”

          1. I’m happy to know it was jokes. If it’s serious, the atmosphere will getting bad. However, we’re all friend. Thanks…!!!

            1. Lucifer is seem to dissapear for a few days? I hope he comes back again.
              Well, ok, from now, i hope there is no joke again which like attacking someone. I fear sometime people take it seriously. Maybe for this time, it’s OK, but we don’t know if something happen latter. Or i fear, if “I’m not taking it seriously” word is not for real.
              .-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.

                1. And that’s maybe why i didn’t see some of my comment approved.

                  Typhoon,
                  Ok, if it’s spam, even it’s come by me or senthil, just delete it 😛
                  We’re here to support your comment policy also. And we’re sorry if there is spam post, because we’re also human 🙂

            1. Encourage, discourage, funny participant, a bit of debate, critique, supporting team, friend, tiring day, boring day, all is experienced on this contest 🙂

            1. I never see it, I’m online almost the whole day to day but I never got a chance to sneak. Do Typhoon really reveal it?

              1. I have already revealed it for 1 minute in the early morning and also for 1 minute somewhere in the evening…Just to give you some hint, there is very little difference in No.1 and No.2 Commentator.

  3. I hope i’ll participate in this commenting idol contest some other time. Smartbloggerz is really making blogging interesting.
