This post has multiple points; lets get to it…

As you know, I do a DSWM link round-up each month in case you’re new and missed or old and forgot (now there’s a play on words). There wasn’t a lot this month, but a few good points still relevant…

Google-Feedburner/CommentLuv Snafu - The Solution (27) - If you’re wondering why the plugin is not showing your latest link.

New Comment Policy - You Want To Read This (76) - Always a good idea.

Twitter Gone! (54) - Account deleted but not forever.

Guest Bloggers Wanted/Needed Right Here (33) - Hellooooo, anyone home?

Your Thoughts Are Wanted On My Other Two Blogs (15) - One post on each blog that could use your input.

Top Commenter Contests - Officially Speaking… (29) - Revealing my new Rules & Tips page.

If you aren’t already aware, guest blogging (writing blog articles for other blogs) is an awesome way to gain attention for your own blog. The “trick” is you have to be willing to “give up” some of your best work. You can’t simply write any ‘ole garbage, slap your name on it and expect the traffic to pour in. Even if the host blogger accepts it (which he/she shouldn’t), it can do you more harm then good.

I say “give up” in quotes because I hate the phrase, but that thinking is what stops most from guest blogging. You’re not giving up anything. Do it correctly, and you can only GAIN. Gain visitors, readers, and ultimately SUBSCRIBERS.

1. Write an awesome article; if you honestly think it is, then the blog host should also.

2. Seek bloggers with a decent readership. I say at least 100-200 subscribers, but others may have varying opinions.

Howdy ho everyone! This isn’t totally necessary since I mentioned most things in yesterdays post, but since this is a contest for February and this is the 1st….let’s rock! Sponsors/Prize list coming soon.

Sponsors now being accepted for March.

You’ll want to read yesterdays post also, if you haven’t already; there’s some stuff in there besides what’s to do with the title.

Enjoy your Sunday! Who’s having a party? (Or had a party if you’re reading this late.)

It’s the 31st!

The best blog review contest winners will be announced when I figure it all out. I’m hand picking at least the first two; there were so few entries, I may handpick them all. Due to the lack of entries, I also have to have conversations with some sponsors…..whom I feel really bad for.

All this will be explained when the winners and prizes are announced. No real worries, all the winners will win of course .

The January top commenter contest will end at whatever hour I log off tonight (assuming it’s not after midnight already). Now before y’all jump all over me about possibly cutting off some spam time, allow me to explain…

Final post - Last Warning. Including today there are 8 days left in the best blog review contest. It ends the 31st.

A word of advice - do not be fooled by the number of comments on the contest posts. In reality there are only a (small) handful of viable contestants and a TON OF CASH AND PRIZES to be given away…..hopefully.

It’s still WIDE OPEN and VERY EASY to enter. Go for it!

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).

Hello and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!

OK that takes care of the mandatory new year post, so lets get to the good stuff! As you know by now (or maybe you don’t), this is the first of 12 Top Commenter Contests. The Wordpress plugin is in and working fantabulously! (Although the tweaking took me to nearly 2am, but I digress).

Prizes from me and looking for sponsors:

Each and every month I am personally putting forth a minimum $10 via Paypal (including pp fees & possibly more cash/stuff).

I am also always on the hunt for contest sponsors. You can sponsor 1-2-3…up to all 12 months! (Say it with me now…..E-X-P-O-S-U-R-E) This will also give opportunities for multiple winners. Contact me.

I’m VERY HAPPY to announce we already have one sponsor for this month! Damn that was fast, huh? There is value in contest sponsorship folks .

I’ve extended the contest an extra 2 weeks; Good Luck!

Hello everyone! I know many of you have been eagerly awaiting this for a couple weeks, so lets get right into it!

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.

Just a quickie post today to ask a simple question; Are you looking for more exposure?

Well, I plan to promote the upcoming contest to provide MASSIVE amounts of exposure for all involved. Read the original post looking for sponsors, and all will become clear. So far, we are doing quite well with Cash, Advertising, Ebooks and more; coming in by both comments and email!

I want more. As much as possible. I want a nice BIG contest with MULTIPLE winners! Don’t you? The contest will take off Monday the 15th, so get your offers in now! This is your final warning .

Oh btw, be sure not to miss the extra tasty bonus at the end of the post .

Thanks!
Dennis

Update: This sponsorship program is starting to take off! In the interest of making this as BIG as possible for all involved, I will be accepting sponsors for TWO weeks instead of one, then running the actual contest for two weeks instead of three.

All you generous people, step on up; it all leads to more EXPOSURE for YOU!

Also, be sure to check out the extra tasty bonus below and start pimpin this page.

Just to be extra clear - this is not the contest, I’m just looking for sponsors for the next week.

————————————

From December 8th 15th through the 31st I’m going to be holding a special blog contest; one that should get plenty of exposure . It will be paid out the first week in January.
