awesome contest sushant….since the day i have found your blog, it has always been different from other blogs in this niche and this contest is a clear indicator of that…count me in this contest and i will give a tough competition to everyone…
just want to ask one thing…will you count comments made on the post posted in previous months??if it is so, it will be difficult for regular commentators on your blog like me to win because i have been commenting here very regularly and re commenting on previous posts will look like a spam….
so if you can clear this to me and others, it will be very nice of you
.-= IndianCashMaker´s last blog ..Blog Life Cycle Day 11- Blogging in Next 6 Months- Part III =-.
The top commentators widget had been reset already(it’s automatic). So only comments made in this month will be counted and you can make comments unlimited times and on any post. It doesn’t matter whether the articles in which you have commented are new or old.
Oh i find the answer of my question on prev.comment. Good, because there is so many old article. But i hope people not replying on article which information is already expired, that’s because it seem waste. How do you think?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Enjoying to compete with you. It always tough here to move each position
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
Lucifer is still on #3, and jahangiri is on #2. Their have a lot of new comment everyday (maybe 10 each?). And now, you’re comes. Surely, my finger will freezed like ice in the end of month :P.
Yes, i’m aslo have a nice competition and really enjoyed.
Well, my exam start today.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
That must be awful when you strive not to lose the first place as well as take care of the exams. Sorry Bro. I can understand how terrible it will be. FYI, I have not got any exams. But I am working, where I cant participate the contest at workplace. So we both are merely the same. 😀
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
LOL, on another comment you said can commenting for 24 hour. Do you stealing some “no boss time” on your office to commenting? I mean, there is an internet on your office computer.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
It’s only fair you have exams, after my DSL went out… It’s a temperamental connection, sometimes, but this week, I think it’s just conspiring on your behalf, akira07. Or maybe it’s saying “Slow down, give Senthil a chance…”
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Ethics in Blogging =-.
May be yes. It says so, lets see how my utilise my chance. As far as you both are here its tough for me to lead you both;
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
I’m sure if i giving you 1 day chance, there will be a lot of comment from you. And i’m sure it will change your position to be no.1. So, already notice what i mean?
No chance for you 😛
Instead to request for chance, how about giving me chance?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
No chance. I will not do a mistake again. On some contest, i relax for 1-2 days because i’m thinking, nothing will happen since my point is have big difference with the other, but when i check, i got shocked when i find my position goes to no.3.
Great to hear that it has begun! Goodluck Typhoon! I’m more than happy to be one of your sponsor 😉
.-= Liane YoungBlogger´s last blog ..PART 2. Hesitant About Web Hosting? The Geeks Got It All Covered for You =-.
Glad to see that. Thanks For Sponsoring and I hope it brings lots of attention to your blog.
Really cool, this is gonna be fun especially if i win it. I guess i have everything i need to succeed, but the only problem is that i have my exams starting from 4th of this month, i guess i can spend hardly half an hour online, hope i can spend a bit of time commenting on SmartBloggerz which i usually do. Anyhow bad timing Shushant. )):
.-= Vishal Sanjay´s last blog ..Generating passive income from your blog =-.
I think you should give a try to Promoting this contest and who know you might be the lucky winner of Best Promoter Prize.
So glad my exam days are over… LONG over. Now I get to listen to my kids agonizing over them.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Delicious Irony: Mattel, Target, Wal-Mart Make Headlines Again =-.
First, there is not just commenting contest. Make the great comment 4-5x and hope you choosen as best commentator. Also try best promoter contest.
Second, believe or no, i’m also have exam start from next tuesday, well…but i will stick around here at least for 30 minute in a day. On 30 minute, you can make about 4-5 comment, not bad 🙂
So, good luck…!!!
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
What are you studying, akira07? Good luck on your exams. Those are probably a bit more important than a blogging contest, I think. (Or maybe I’m just trying to get you to study more, comment less, so I can move into the lead…?)
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
I’m on business school 😀
Anyway, that’s nice trick to get me busy and then you take the chance.
But i can manage my time, i still have midnight to posting comment
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Same here akira07 i will also be having xams hope we both do well there nd here 🙂
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..Chance To Win Laptop & IPod =-.
My exam is going for 2 weeks, let’s see if my comment count is decreased. But after exam, i will hit the gas (maybe make 100 comment in a day? Who’s know? LOL)
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Great Bro. You are giving cool tips for us. May be I should schedule to make a great move here. If you are spending 30 min then to beat u I must spend an hour Defenitely I can. BTW, don’t miss the exams. Do it well 🙂
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Interview with S.Pradeep Kumar of HellBoundBloggers =-.
If you’re go for 1 hour per day, i will surely leave my exam (or reduce the study time) for 2 hours commenting.
You go wild? I will more 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Wonderful . I can comment for 24 hours. So you can too???? Try to lead in the exam too bro. Good luck.
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
24 hour? How about your 9 days working and your daily life? Maybe hanging out to mall, etc…?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Great contest you have here Typhoon! I believe that you will be damn busy approving and rejecting comments as I saw TechZoomIn did the same contest and he received up to 100 comments on a single blog post. Of course, it increases your blog traffic as well as your brand as more people promote your blog.
You mentioned that the length of comment must not be lesser than 3 lines, that would be kinda interesting and fun if you set the font of the comment to smaller font size, lol just kidding!
Anyway, wish you guys all the best and..I’ll be joining the contest as well. 🙂
Cheers,
Lee
.-= Lee Ka Hoong@How To Make Money Online´s last blog ..WebHostingGeeks – The Web Hosting Review Site =-.
lolz..If I make the font small that it would be way tougher for many people to make their comments bring to 3 lines long…But Nice Idea 😉
Hey it’s not nice idea at all haha…!!! LOL. 3 Line of comment with small font size is equal to about 5-6 normal font size :P. Well, but if it’s just for fun, let’s go for it…!!! Make a special day, when all font size is setted up on 8 😛
For commenting contest, it’s the innovation. I never find system like that, so unique.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
lol! I’m just kidding my friend, with the current font size, 3 lines would be little tough but it’s good to avoid spammer though. I’m curious on how you judge the quality of the comment and I see the lead commentator has 37 comments right now, I don’t mean his comments are spam but I’m curious how many comments he left were considered eligible? 😉
Ya, all of his comments felt into eligibility factor as his comments were longer and to the topic.
Argh…you guys mention me 😛
Ok, let me explain. $70 or even $30, $10 is big amount of cash for my country. So, i will never doing something againts the rules which makes me out of this contest.
Believe me, i will try my best 🙂
really good contest best of luck
.-= MostlyBlog´s last blog ..How to Check If My system is x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) in Windows? =-.
This is a great contest. This is the first time that I have read some blog that gives prizes for just commenting. Usually I find contest that gives this kind of prizes but it is too hard to win since it has a lot of requirement just to join the contest.
.-= Paul @ entertainment tonight´s last blog ..LJ on the Spot of FHM this December =-.
True the requirements should be less nd other should be add ons to get extra entry’s in the contests…
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..The Importance of Your Domain Name =-.
What contest do you mean have hard requirement to participate? I find mostly contest on internet is easy to participate by just :
– Make a blog post about the contest –> you can do it less than 10 minute
– Tweeting – in less than 5 minute
– Commenting – in less than 2-3 minute
etc…
But yes, commenting contest concept is the most easiest, that’s why i wonder why not too many people obsessed to win and effort. Go people, more rocking…!!!
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Try the one I’m linking to in this comment, akira07. (That ought to keep you busy while the rest of us comment here…)
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win Prizes and Fame with Famous Bloggers =-.
Do you mean famous blogger contest? Yes, it’s require us to do many activity. But since it’s not mandatory, and simple, which part is hard? 😀
But i love the statement : “if you don’t win one of the 3 prizes, you will win our hearts and friendship”
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
That’s worth more than gold, don’t you think? 🙂
I find it interesting what kind of effort (or lack of effort) people are willing to put into some things. We’ve probably spent more time chatting in comments here than it would actually take to enter the “Famous Bloggers” contest, yes? But it SEEMS easier. (I actually went through all the steps of the other contest, even though I’m not officially entering. I wanted to be sure it was doable before promoting it. If you take it seriously – I mean, writing the blog post and the guest post, it takes some time and thought – but the prizes make it worthwhile, don’t you think? It just SEEMS hard. I think it’s going to be fairly easy to win, for those willing to put forth the effort – because I’m thinking not many people will.)
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Win Prizes and Fame with Famous Bloggers =-.
Woo..so many lines in (bracket)..
I know. I really need to break this awful habit of overusing parethetical statements and ellipses. Let’s not even discuss emoticons, exclamation points, and semicolons.
Well, wait. I’m willing to work on all the rest, but I’m hanging onto my semicolons. Anyone wanting to take my semicolons will have to pry them from my cold, dead fingers.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
Well, keep your great english skill comment, so people like me (who is not english native) can’t reply your comment easily.
It’s need 15 minute to know the mean of “semicolon” (i can’t find it on dictionary).
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Ha ha. Another trick. May be I should refer dictionaries and comment using hard english so that Akira cant reply thereby not increasing his comments. Where is the dictionary?
.-= Senthil Ramesh´s last blog ..Google Introduces Real Time Search In SERP =-.
But don’t forget that there is online dictionary such kamus.net, etc….So that trick is may useful to beat me, but not always 🙂
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
No twitter for me, but I’ll also blog it at http://www.easycashcontests.com/ 😉
.-= Dennis Edell´s last blog ..Whoopsy Commentluv Is Busted! You Have Permission To Leave ONE Link. =-.
Haha i just focused on word “Top Commentator” and that’s makes me just aware there is also blog post+tweeting entry accepted for best promoter contest. Hmm, it’s random? Ok.
But anyway, can i make more than 1 blog post and then get my chance to winning become higher? Or 1 blog post is max?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Yup, only one blog post on a blog..You can do it on as many blogs you can to increase chances.
I think there should be a rules to control blog post, typhoon. Because there is a kind of people make a bunch of new blog just for contest. How about make the rules like this : Blog age should be 1 month old.
Actually i have 4 new blog which will be 1 month old at 17 December 2009, so if there is rules like that, of course i will posting about this contest on 17 December 2009.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Hahaha…then the rule should be that blogs must be at least 6 months old. (Or at least the 2nd+ blogs entered by one person.) Some of us simply haven’t got the time or energy to maintain more than one – me, I’m a serial blogamist. I’m faithful to the one I’ve got.
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
Don’t make it 6 month, it’s too hard. Make it just 1 month so….i can get my 5 new blog participated, LOL…Haha, it’s up to Typhoon.
If it’s 6 month, i have about 3-4 blog. But i’m not going to use all for posting entry.
Ya i agree with jahangiri that the 2nd blog nd so on should have some condition…since someone blogs on 10 blogs nd none is having 1 visitor also so wats the use to consider them…think over it…
.-= Lucifer@Blog Contests´s last blog ..Chance To Win Laptop & IPod =-.
That’s kind of rare chances that someone will submit more that one contest..If you remember, our first contest “Smart Bloggerz Smart Contest” received many entries and hardly few of the contestants submitted more than 1 blogs..One of them which I remember was probably akira and navjot and may be 1-2 more submitted more than 1 blog.
I will take care all thing into consideration when one submits more than one blog in this contest.
Even it’s not good policy for me, since i have less visitor on my blog, but i can understand the reason and agree.
I had to read your Comment Policy carefully to be sure silliness wasn’t prohibited. Whew! Looks like I’m eligible to enter. I never say “nice blog” – I think that’s a flagged phrase in Akismet (or should be). I did notice one clever spammer taking the opposite tack, once, with something like “interesting post, but you’re wrong” – of course, he didn’t bother to elaborate or argue the point, but it’s an intriguing approach and stands out among those who think flattery will get them past the spam bucket.
.-= Holly Jahangiri@author´s last blog ..5 Fun WordPress Plug-Ins You CAN Live Without – But Won’t Want To =-.
Yes, and comment policy + spam prevention system is a great combination. Especially when there is a contest, people will more careful in commenting because their don’t wanna be blacklisted.
Well, i think the comment policy is not hard too follow, so there is no reason to break it.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
You were never tempted to run a “funniest spam comment” contest? Oh, c’mon, now, where’s your sense of humor? (We should at least encourage the spammers to provide us with some free entertainment, don’t you think?) Or the “machine most likely to convince me it’s actually human” contest?
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Copyright Essentials for Writers =-.
So, ask to typhoon to allow 2-3 spam per day to be moderated just for entertainment 😛
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
After editing them to remove the backlinks, sure. Why not? Well – I take that back. I did that once, and suddenly everyone started using the “approved” address to leave crap on my blog. That’s when I had to learn how to block IP addresses and emails. (Well, okay, so I did LEARN a few new things from the experience.)
.-= Holly Jahangiri´s last blog ..Why are They on Facebook with No Face? =-.
Haha it’s become interesting question, then, to be asked to Typhoon. We would like to know Typhoon :
In the back, how many spam you get in a day when comment contest running? Is it increased dramatically just like valid comment?
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
From previously, the spam comments(not made by humans, made by bots) have increased..Few weeks back I was too angry and frustrated to see too much spam comments(around 300/day). And I have a habit of checking spam box to see if any valid comment got into there.
But I don’t think it has any relation to contest.
Ok then congratulations, the spam is not increasement when the contest running.
Well, 300 spam is very bad. But it’s also indicator that people wanna listed on your blog. Which mean : your blog is good.
.-= akira07´s last blog ..Make or Break – Website Review =-.
Interesting and great contest, am usually in the top commentators list so i guess i shouldn’t be left behind this month with all this link juices….
