There are a bunch of blog contests on at any given time and some can reward you really nice prizes, but is it worth making a post about a blog contest on your blog? In short, does dedicating a post on your blog to a blog contest make you a sellout? Here are my thoughts on the issue. And one more quick thing I'm currently in a blog contest and I'd really appreciate some extra votes for Blog Badly in this poll. It would really be awesome if you guys could take a few seconds of your time to vote for me.
I love contests and often blog about contests and run my own. We also have great tips for hosting contests as well as the top 20 contest blogs.
If I come across a blog that has the last few posts as nothing by posts about other people's contests, it's just not a good look. It you are gong to post about a contest to enter it, make sure you keep up wit your own content for heaven's sake.
Concept of running contest is, I guess, of John Chow. Running a contest is good as you get many back links in short period. Google can't even prove this method as a illegitimate to get back links either.
Nice blog... keep it up... love your domain name as well lol.. dont like the punchline... And yes some/most blog contests are worth the post...
Well, having a contest doesn't make you a sell out... it's like giving your readers an extra incentive to help you out, in return, they will get a chance to win some great prize(s).
