    It will be great to see your contribution. Waiting for your email.
    So far there is no other prize except the $250 for winner. If you have any ideas suggestions, you can email me at

    We have plans to run bigger review contest with bigger prize money in future. This is a test contest to see how it works.

    Looking forward to see your contribution.

    Its an interesting concept, but I don't think it is going to work very well for you. Nobody with a quality site is going to write a post reviewing your site for the chance to win money - they will want money up front, guaranteed. So right from the start the links are going to be low quality.

    Then once the competition ends, you've not paid anyone for the posts (other than the winner) so they don't owe you anything and you are going to see a fair amount of the links dissapearing after the winner is announced.

    Also you are openly buying links, you should consider editing the url out of the thread, and make people PM you to get it. You're further adding risk by forcing people to use a specific anchor text.

    I honestly can't see any way you can come out of this better off than if you'd just used the $250 to buy links. It would be under the radar and take up less time too.

    Hi Vic_mackey, Thank you for your comments :)
    You have made an interesting post but I'm only testing this approach. I've seen few other bloggers doing it successfully. Lets hope good for it ;)
