  • *Best Blog Review Contest* EXTENDED To Months End - $100 First Prize

    I’ll make this quick. Due to the utter lack of participation thus far, I am extending the contest to the end of the month…the 31st. I have far too many gracious sponsors and prizes for the handful (or less) of people so far participating. Thank you btw :) .

    Below you see I have copy/pasted everything from the original post…. including the excruciatingly simple rules. To be quite frank, the ONLY ones that can consider this even remotely “not worth it” or similar, are those already getting $100+ for a blog review on a regular basis…

    Show of hands? Hmm…

    The Contest:

    It’s pretty straight forward. My other two blogs; DennisEdell.com & EasyCashContests.com are brand new, and you are to write the best review you can for both (1 post/2 reviews).

    Here’s the kicker to make it interesting…..since both blogs are so new, you must rely on only your ingenuity, creativity, and the individual “About Me” pages on each blog. I’m NOT looking for “cheerleaders” or a “plug” as they say, I want honest reviews. If you do find anything “wrong”, then add it. However you must also add your thoughts on how to “fix” the issue(s). Ex: if you don’t like the colors, suggest new ones.

    The one thing you MUST include in the beginning of the review is a reference to me, Dennis Edell, and this blog DirectSalesWebMarketing, for authority reasons. Otherwise you’re just reviewing 2 strange new blogs. LOL.

    That’s the contest in a nutshell! It ends in four weeks on January 12th. If you have ANY questions, please contact me.

    ————————————-

    The Rules:

    1. You must blog this contest including all sponsor links with a link back to this page for comments. If you’re as lazy as I am, you can even copy/paste this entire post…..just be sure ALL links are clickable.

    2. Write the review(s). You may do both 1 & 2 in the same post or two different posts, it’s up to you. If you do it all in one, the review must be first…..be sure think up a catchy title so they know it’s both a review and contest.

    3. The review must include a least 2 links for each blog - Home page & About page. Home page keywords for EasyCashContests is Win Cash Online. No keywords for DennisEdell.com unless you can think of something nifty :) .

    4. Share on at least two social sites of your choice (buttons below). Please take care to get the right category.

    5. Subscribe to all 3 blogs via email using the same email address for all. You can do that here, here, & here.

    6. Comment below with: Link to your post(s) (if you separated them, leave both links). Links to social sites you shared on. Email address used to subscribe.

    7. After commenting check the “subscribe to comments” box…..I may leave updates there, and you don’t want to miss them.

    Ya can’t get much easier then that for a contest with such cool prizes!

    If you have ANY questions, please contact me.

      Please read the rules, they are very simple. Keep them open in another window until you are done if need be.

      Even some that have already participated need to reread the rules a bit. I’m no longer chasing down participants to add or complete simple things they missed.

      Thanks. :)

      Okay, I think I’ve got you covered now.

      I edited my post.

      I stumbled this post as “marksierra” and favorited you on Technorati using your button.

      I subscribed to all three of your blogs, but your links weren’t configured to receive via email. I’ve got you in my Google Reader.

      Wow, this really is a long assignment. Apparently my definition of ‘easy’, which was cemented in college, is quite different. haha.

      Good luck to all entrants! :-)

      There are definitely some great prizes in there, but I will be opting out of this one. :-(

      Dennis Edell Reply:

      @Shirley, there is a few things to do as with all good contests, but what exactly do you find difficult?

      Shirley Reply:

      @Dennis Edell, well, I rarely enter contests for the prizes. Instead, I often do it because I like being a part of something that other bloggers are are a part of. That being said, if it were a simple review, and only that, without linking, sharing or subscription requirements I’d probably do it.

      That’s all. It’s not THAT difficult. lol.

      a question …. is it allowed to post it on more blogs and if so… how about the subscribing and bookmarking requirements?

      Mirjam´s last blog post..Ever Thought of Monetizing Your Exit Traffic?

      Dennis Edell Reply:

      @Mirjam, excellent question! Once you do everything once, you can blog it where ever you want. :)

      I should point out for all listening though - 2 or more posts are of course GREATLY appreciated, but the extras don’t earn more “entries” or anything.

    17. Nick Says:

      Nope, not playin’ this time :)

      I’m not big on the social media thing so wouldn’t fulfill that requirement and I already subscribe to all 3 in my RSS Reader so see absolutely no need to subscribe via email :)

      Maybe next time…
