Frankly, I am conducting my own and it will be completed right at Christmas time then I have no more time to do other things, congrats and good luck to all contestants!
.-= Tinh´s last blog ..SharkSpace Offering Web Hosting Packages 50% Off for Life. =-.
Nice to see that it is helping you to get an idea for your contest. Hope you will make it successful.
Hi, not trying to participate beside planning of making same contest concept? It’s interesting, try it.
You’re make first comment, which oftenly get mostly attention. Congratz…!!!
Well, i’m also waiting for your comment contest. But while waiting for it, i’m try to win on here. Hope i can get double prize –> from your contest and this contest.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I will look forward to your own comment contest Akira. I hope you do it next month.
.-= ZXT´s last blog ..My CNN Hero =-.
Where i ever say that i will run commenting contest, zxt? 😛
I will run a contest, but i think it will not commenting contest.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Hey, please inform us if you’ll have your own contest. I hope prizes are also cash 😀
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..TRIPLE MEDICAL CELEBRATION: A BlogThing Game /CLOSED/ =-.
What a great contest, and I’m sure it will have the desired effect by attracting many comments. I hope that they are all quality comments that will add to your content. I only wish I had more time so that I could be in the running.
.-= Sire´s last blog ..Giving Your Blog That Christmas Feel =-.
Sad to know that you won’t be able to participate due to lack of time..But you can obviously try to be included in Best Promoter and cross your fingers to win the prizes of Best Promoter.
AHA!!! You finally put up the numbers. I thought you were going to leave us all guessing. I’m not sure which way’s better, actually – with the comment numbers showing, one has only to slip in at the last minute, just like they do on eBay, and comment like a bunny rabbit. What time (and time zone) ends the contest?
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win Prizes and Fame with Famous Bloggers =-.
You have different opinion about this matter with me 🙂
I prefer to have no number of comment shown since makes me worry 😛
About contest time, i’m already ask about it. Countdown time is good idea.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Different strokes for different folks Akira. By the way you are good in commenting contest, I’m not going to be surprise if you win again.
.-= ZXT´s last blog ..What’s Hot on YouTube =-.
And i’m already surprise when know you’re not competing here. What happen, my friend? Even you think i’m good on it, i just ordinary man who sometime tired.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
That’s why best commentator and promoter is here. Typhoon is so kind, he’s care about reader who have no time and can’t compete on top commentator field.
Well, but have you 1 hour free time/day? It’s enough my friend, in a hour you can make 10-20 post.
Yes it will attract a hundred of comment, especially because the prize is so many. Maybe it will bring thousand comment? I’m sure 🙂
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I always laugh when I hear things like, “I don’t know where you find the time for all that” or “I would, but I just don’t have the time.” Don’t sleep!!
Okay, kidding about that – we all need sleep. If we slept more, there would be fewer trolls and cranky commenters, I’m sure of it. Still, we find time, somehow. I’m pretty sure I’ve learned how to fold it over onto itself, but I’m not GIVING those secrets away here!
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Monday News & Views =-.
Well, there is 24 hour in a day.
You can reduce a “time killer” to be used for more usefull things.
This is the tips from me :
Sleeping time – 7 hour – Make it to 5 hour
Bath time – 30 minute – make it to 10 minute
Playing with friend – 3x a week – make it 2x
Eating time – 15 minute – make it 10 minute
In the end, count it and you’ll get surprise with the result
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
All good advice, but I prefer to prioritize on the fly. I know where my values lie; I know what has to get done. The rest of the time… it’s mine to waste as I see fit! 😉
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
Hope you waste that rest of time by commenting here :P, when actually it’s not waste when you see the return.
Are you learning for time management? I find you’re have good behaviour about it.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Agreed with you. I have been following it. Its always good to see we top the charts 😀
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
I’m also would like to see your “time saving” result. Post it here.
60 minute time saving mean 15 new comment here. (Because 15 comment can be created on 60 minute). More saving, more comment 😛
Anyway, you’re using the word of “we”. Thanks for it…!!!
Let me lead you all 😛 (just kidding)
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Whats here to kid . Its cool to see you lead me and you deserve it the most. I can see your efforts when I get the mail of “New comment on” You are the one occupying most of the comments 🙁
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
So you make a check mark for “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” option? It will surely make your inbox full.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
of course the inbox is full and i am not easily checking my mails
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
For yesterday, how much new message you’re get on inbox? I’m sure from my + Jenn post it’s reach about 200+
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
If you cut your sleeping from 7 hours to 5 hours to make time to comment then you might get sick nad your $70 might not be enough for medicines and hospital bills.
.-= ZXT´s last blog ..My three month old blog =-.
2 hour sleep difference will not bring too many effect for our health. In order to get energized enough, suplemen and eating fruit help for sure.
Well, it’s all because this commenting contest 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Yes, I agree, in fact you will just do it in the contest span. It won’t take much effect.
.-= Jenn´s last blog ..TRIPLE MEDICAL CELEBRATION: A BlogThing Game /CLOSED/ =-.
Congratulations for this great contest, looking forward to see good results! good luck!
.-= Hesham @ FamousBloggers´s last blog ..What Famous Bloggers do at Facebook? =-.
It’s all this guy’s fault that I’ve landed on your blog (I’m saying he probably owes you a big apology, or might, before this contest is over). He chirped so loudly about it on Twitter I could hardly ignore it.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Copyright Essentials for Writers =-.
Thanks Hesham for retweeting it.. Because of you, Jahangiri came to know about this contest. 😉
Oh, brave boy – look, Hesham, he’s thanking you instead of cursing you.
For now… 😀
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win Prizes and Fame with Famous Bloggers =-.
Should i thanks to hesham for making a strong competitor such Jahangiri is participate? LOL….
Hesham, you make my day quite busy 😛
Just kidding, thanks…!!! Hope you also active.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Yes, of course you should thank Hesham for that, akira07. It’s no fun to win if you go unchallenged, is it? Surely not. Much more satisfying if you have a worthy competitor. 😀
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
Right, competition without competitor is just like soup without salt. But too much salt will make the taste become salty, right? Hehe…
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Mmmmm…but I love salt! Bad analogy for me. Maybe too much sugar on your cereal or something? (Gag.)
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
Haha “sugar” is have more lover than salt. Well, a lot of competitor or no, let’s go 🙂
Now, since there is hard competitor, i will go for 3 hour per day (+/-)
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
3 hours?? Its horrible dude. Give us some place to reach the top atleast for some time.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
LOL, when you tell me don’t post for 3 hour, your posting comment for more than it. So, who is the one who should giving chance to relax?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Bro, I cant even getting more time to comment now. Lot of work. I think I will lose this place in coming days 🙁
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
It will be worth watching who wins the top position from the above two 😉
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..Chance To Win Laptop & IPod =-.
I think above 3 (include you), lucifer :D. But we don’t know what will happen on next 1-2 day, sometime, stronger competitor comes in the middle of battle 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
May be Akira you are the hard one to beat. But I am having a courage to beat you. I am nearing you in the charts. Take a look up bro.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
It’s so scary for sure.
Please be relax, it’s still 22 day later for this commenting contest.
Let’s say 1 day = 10 comment. So it will be another 220 comment from one people. So busy…!!!
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
@Akira Yes I it makes me scary too. But what I can learn is we should not rest even we improve our rankings. Guess how will be the contest on 31st Dec.? It will be most scary than these.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
Deadline date? A hundred of comment will be created on that day. I’m sure.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Agreed even now itself the site loads slow I think we cant get the site loaded on 31 dec
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
So, we can’t post on that day? Haha…Predict, how much comment will be created on that day? My prediction is about 200 comment.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Cool idea for a contest, and well done on getting so many great prizes. I’m definately going to enter! 😀
.-= Simon | Teenius´s last blog ..How To Use Twitter For Marketing =-.
Thanks Simon..Best of Luck to you..
Simon is my great competitor on one forum poster contest. He is who makes me understand about post padding and how to make quality comment.
If people think my comment is good, it’s actually contribution of simon 🙂
Well, see you here, and hope you’re get luck in this contest.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
@Akira Simon is one I fear most since he is able to make contest to his way. He has much potential.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
But i find the contest prize is all ads, when it’s said worth of $800.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
So do you aim only at cash prizes? Is is so?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
Not really, because actually my latest prize from a contest is Original DVD. Sometime it’s fun to get psychical item. But, yes, my main concentration is all contest with cash prize.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Hey Simon you are showing interest at most of the contest and I can see ur name at each and every places. Thats cool and u inspire me to do more. 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
Simon is contest lover also. And also as contest creator. I ever participate on simon contest but not win because the strengh of another participant.
Well, where is simon?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Well, I am not sure where he is. May be busy in promoting his contests 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
I check teenius, and yes, i find there is worth $800 contest. Yeah, i’m understand then…
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
But what make me wonder about both Typhoon and Simon is, they are too young but good enough in blogging and holding contests.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
Young people nowadays is so great. Especially from india, which Typhoon is an example. Their can manage blog and hold contest sucessfully.
Also with one name “Swastik”, he is 15th years old but the earning is more than $50,000/month (blog flipping).
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
$50,000/mo.? Surely you jest.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win an Autographed Copy of A Puppy, Not a Guppy =-.
No, should i give you a link? I’m sure it’s not jest, since site flipping is powerful. One site can be sold for a thousand dollar.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Good luck to all who take part in the contest, may be best guy/girl win 🙂
BTW, i like the way you listed the sponsors with a small description and link. That is a bit different to what have been doing.
.-= George Serradinho´s last blog ..Create shorter URLs with your Domain Name using GoCodes WordPress Plugin =-.
Thanks George for liking the way I have presented the contest and also for sponsoring.
Wait, there is no description about me (as a sponsor) on about the sponsor part. It’s special for sponsor which donate big amount only, or it’s because i’m not put my description about me in an email?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Ya, you will have to provide it via email and I will put it..Actually, I would have done it on my own but I was not knowing much about you as you don’t run a blog(means you have a blog but it’s for fun so I can’t guess from it).
Email sent already 🙂
Yes, i will describe myself as akira07, not as blog owner 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Well we can see your sponsoring too. Thats good to hear George.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
Also with me, senthil 😛 (Hahaha, proud to be sponsorship :D)
Senthil, how about sponsoring too? It’s fun, than just participate
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Hmmm let me give a thought bout it.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
I’m waiting you on sponsorship team 😛
Well, i’m gonna tell u something about “A benefit to be a sponsor” than just get link and exposure. But, go sponsoring first.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I see. As I already said, I will decide about it soon …
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
I’m wait for it :D. Well, Typhoon ever said he will not open sponsorship again if the contest going to end. So, be quickly :P.
More quickly = Your link appear in more time
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I have replied to him by mail ;/
So, senthil already decide to sponsoring? Great, Senthil, it’s nice step. Welcome to sponsorship world 🙂
Anyway, but it’s not listed yet?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Hey, thank for email me about the problem, appreciate it. This one great contest, the prize just awesome. I will try it for sure, but I will comment as it comment not as a contest 🙂 One thing though.. is it count if I comment on older post and also more than one comment on one post? I hope it not because it not fair for some people 🙂
.-= izzat aziz´s last blog ..When all else fails, They don’t – Create a winner blog =-.
Ya, Everything will be counted whether you comment on my previous articles or new articles. Only which I don’t expect is excessive single lines comments.
Do you mean it’s better to make replying other comment is not counted as entry? Well, i think it’s not top commenting contest concept then…If you limit 1comment/post, then when all article already commented, you’re done.
Since there is rules created such minimum 1 lines for reply and 3 lines for new comment, current system already great.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I think he doesn’t mean so. I jus follow replying to those who replied me. I wish they count in the contest. Its good if Typhoon clarifies it.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
Everthing is being counted…Only comments which are of no use gets deleted.
Well its encouraging one again. Then these replies count. Hurrah! Then its possible for me to compete with Akira and Jahangiri. 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
So, answer from Typhoon is the source which make your comment increased 2-3x times on 8 December 2009. Oh no…!!! Another nightmare 🙁
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
May be yes. It takes a long time to comment now in this post due to heavy traffic or large number of comments. Typhhon must consider this.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Take Care Ann, Your Blog can be Spammed =-.
Do you mean consider our idea to make the contest ended more quickly? You’re tired already? Then take a rest, maybe for 1 days is enough 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Typhoon, that answer make Senthil going more crazy.
Anyway, still confuse of “no use comment” since i think post like “Great contest” or “Thanks for participating” is also no use, but in fact, you accept it.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Hahaha, no…all reply is counted. So, you just aware about it by now? Wow….
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
A GReat Conest ANd Great Prizes Too ; Hope to Be an Active Commenter and as well as Promoter Too 😉
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..The Importance of Your Domain Name =-.
Lucifer, we’re meet again here. You’re also winner of commenting contest on techzoomin, right? Hope you be a winner on this comment contest also. The key of winning commenting contest is be active and follow the rules. Good luck…!!!
Anyway, you’re also have contest in your blog, how’s the progress? It’s ended already.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Yep i also a winner there but u won the 1st place there that also bcoz u commented a lot on the last day right 😉
My contest already ended and will announce the winners soon just wait 🙂
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..The Importance of Your Domain Name =-.
I’m waiting for your contest. About tzi contest, that’s because i just aware the contest is running for november. Since there is no announcement like Lax do on the first of october :P.
Well, now it’s the time to effort on commenting idol. I win the 1st commenting idol, hope i can keep my position haha…It’s quite hard when know you’re participate, but still go go go…!!!
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Thats cool. But I am not so good at promoting also we cant confirm we win this as it is purely by luck ( cos its selected randomly). So I am participating to win the top commentators.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
So, you’re not participate on another contest? Well, it’s your decision.
Since top commentator contest become your concentration, i’m sure you will be #3 in a near time. And then #2.
The question is : Will me, jahangiri, and lucifer let it?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
I am not sure about others but over taking you is definitely gonna be a problem, I don’t believe in selected in random as it depends on luck while this depends on efforts. 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
Luck depend on effort? Do you mean effort to post article about the contest to blog? Hmmm so, more effort = more entry = more chance to win (luck)?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Good luck everybody! Ironically I am going to join as well.. =p
Thanks Melvin for sponsoring and also best of luck in the contest.
This is more like a competition, as each one of us hold a fair chance of winning the goodies depending on out efforts. Luck is not a major factor here and i love that. Thanks for putting it up
.-= Dwarkanath Rao´s last blog ..Medion S5611 15.6-inch CULV Laptop |Specifications and Review| =-.
Be hard working and be helpful is the only way to win this contest. Between, I planned to start contest like this in my blog before, but as I’m not a full time blogger and this type of contest might take you most of the time to judging the quality of the comment. Also, the daily number of comments might scare you.
Anyway, I would just enjoy the contest and am not urging for winning the prizes though.
Have fun!
Cheers,
Lee
.-= Lee Ka Hoong@How To Make Money Online´s last blog ..WebHostingGeeks – The Web Hosting Review Site =-.
the comments will not scare you but will make you feel great…that ur contests is working for u….do u agree???
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..Chance To Win Laptop & IPod =-.
Depends, Lucifer, on how much time someone has to read all the comments, how seriously they take the “judging” part (and their definition of a “quality” comment), whether they have free Internet access or use an Internet cafe or blog from the office, or what. I can see it being overwhelming for some.
Also, depending on the blog, comment moderation can be time consuming and tricky at the best of times. Some blogs are more prone to controversy and argument than others. (Actually, a huge number of comments aimed at winning a contest could probably HELP some of those blogs – if only to distract from the flamewars! 🙂 )

Then don’t makes commenting contest, but a contest such promoter contest. Yes, i know, comment will comes like crazy. Based on my experience in asking stat increasement on many blog which running commenting contest, their said an incredible amount of comment. For example, on ss101 which collect about 1000+ comment.
But moderating comment is not too hard, it’s just clicking and clicking. So, don’t be scared too much 😛
Try first. Ok? When the contest running, don’t forget to tell me.

Yea comments will not scare people and we will feel proud that our blog has strong feedback from huge commentators, but sometimes is headache to judge the quality of the comment.
The current lead commentator has 37 comments, means average 9 comments a day, scary man..lol! But anyhow, I enjoy the contest but am not urging to win the prize, just leave comment as usual.
Cheers,

Haha, mention me again 😛
Well, 9 comment in a day is not that hard.
If you running commenting contest, there is many consideration :
– Should you make limit per person. And why?
– Deadline date, complete with time zone
– Do you have time to moderate?
– What is valid comment about?
– Policy about double or duplicate comment
– etc…
Well, my advice is, don’t make too strict rules about comment. Just using this 2 criteria, make it valid and then a lot of people will participate :
– To the topic (except a reply post, because sometime we’re replying someone post which not too related to topic)
– Meet the general rules (Example, SB require 3 lines for main comment and 1 for reply).
I ever participate on one forum posting contest, where the rules is too strict. Until know, i don’t cleary understand why a bit of post padding is disallowed on there.
I’m got no counted, just because posting like this :
Yeah, as i’m write before that ” ….a bit post padding to remind people….”, so……………………

I didn’t understand what you meant about “post padding.” And I don’t think an arbitrary number of lines should be required; I think it’s fairly clear if a comment is “on topic” or so vague as to be spam. “nice” is really so generic it’s meaningless anymore, don’t you think? “nice post” (what, you can’t even be bothered to capitalize the first word of a sentence?), “great” (why? what was so great about it?), “please keep blogging” (like I was going to STOP because you said “please STOP blogging?”)…
lol..that seriously some spam kind of statements which I usually don’t like but sometimes in hurry, i mistakenly accept that comment and you may found such comments on my blog few times.
Well, you’ll know about post padding if you forum poster. More detail, it’s about quote ownself statement on previous post.

I think Luck plays major part in Best Promoter and Best Commenter. But, winning the most comments is only by effort. I like that.

Luck is only on best promoter since it’s random drawing. But for best commenter, Typhoon do own appraisal. Since it’s based on quality, it’s not about luck.
Yes, commenting contest is about effort. Anyway, i think commenting contest is the hardest and also the easiest. Do you know what i mean?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Yes I can. Commenting is hardest but you can interact a lot and the friendly competition between us makes us to give in more efforts.

And what is your opinion about “easiest” part?
Ok let me answer :
Easiest is because commenting activity is a basic that all people can do.
Hardest is because stress from competitor and it’s take our sleeping time
