Affiliate Confession: I was trying to remember how I found your site, so I headed over and I've already found 2 more articles I want to read later. I guess that's was RSS feeds are for.

Contests bring in lots of readers. I try to do one every month or so.

I found this post really useful, especially as I'm planning a competition very soon. It definitely makes sense to plan ahead to avoid putting people off entering, and to have an appropriate and attractive prize to offer.

A while ago I had a mini competition on my personal blog, and the winner still hasn't told me where to send her toy monkey!

This is very funny! But I don't want to spin the thing only once a day. Why not more? People could get addicted to it very easily

I think the part about giving a review with the ad buttons is definitely a good idea.

Nice post Joe. With my recent redirection of my contest blog to a resource for blog owners, I have a few great articles that will help blog owners who are thinking of running blog contest. Things like How to convince sponsor to sponosr your blog contest and How to structure your blog contest for better SEO.

Congrats on your guest post, Joe. It was a great read. Contests can be a strange beast -- one time they work wonders and the next they fall flat. Your advice was sound throughout. Thanks for the link too. :razz:

Hafiz: Thanks. I was actually just getting some things prepared to wrap up my January contests when I noticed traffic coming from this post. I'm glad you liked it.

Hey Joe,

You`ve got a really solid post here. I especially liked your point about making it easy to enter your blog contest. Some contests have so many requirements to enter, that I just don`t bother. One has to remember that people need an easy way to do things. We`ve seen some great success stories from contests in the past. Prime example: Winning the Web (although there was a lot of money involved).

Keep up the good work,
Hafiz Dhanani
