DISQUS

Contest Blogger · 2 years ago

Good post. I don't see anything wrong with entering yourself in the contests you post. Number one, odds are you aren't going to win many of them anyway (I won an average of one contest every 6 weeks on Contest Blogger). Also, it's not always up to you; a lot of times the only entry requirements are to link up to a contest, and you may get entered to win whether you like it or not.

Well, I think contest Blog should enter, if they want.
To be honest, I've started my blog mainly to try to win something (for me) and then also to let other people known if there are contests they can easily enter.
And also to excercise and improve my english skills...
Maybe someday I'll put some more ads, but at the moment I think my blog is too young and this isn't the best way to get some money...

I absolutely think contest blogs should be allowed to enter :)

I started a "contest blog" because I didn't want to clutter up my "real" blog with constant contest entries. There are SOOOO many contests out there that a "normal" blog would have nothing but contest post in it! :)

Secondly, a blog contest is used to spread the word about a site via word of mouth and some link action. Both of which they get from contest blogs, so the purpose is served no matter who enters :)

And finally, contest bloggers ARE "real" bloggers! (Most of us, anyway( L(

Oh, and of course, one more point. If contest blogs hadn't entered my contest, NO ONE would have! I would have given away a prize for, basically, nothing! No linkbacks, no comments, no blogrolls! That would have been a terrible outcome. So THANK YOU to contest blogs for spreading the word and making my contest (and others) more worthwhile :)

Well thanks for the lovely feedback. But you are missing the point. I am just pointing to the fact that most contest blogs have not done enough to reach the audience and spread contest updates as they should. Well I hope things will improve soon. I can already see some contest blogs waiting to make big. Linkbait seems to be behind the race. :mrgreen: I need to puck up too. :grin:
