Comment more and win my contest

Posted on January 24th, 2008 as Contests

I had a lot of success with my last contest and decided to run another one. I keep looking at my traffic and my numbers are okay (still low but its a new blog) but my comments are low. To give some incentive I am going to run a new contest. The top commenter for this month will win $10 through paypal or amazon your choice.

My only catch is no spam comments like “nice article” or “good post” I am looking for actual input.  That is it, how could it be any harder?

    Make sure you have the Top Commenter plugin installed so people can check the status of who are actually commenting. Other than that plugin, it would also be a good idea to put more “stuff” on your sidebar.

    Haha. Just as I posted my comment above, I saw the “stuff” at the bottom that did exactly what I said. Nevermind then. :)

    Interesting idea for a contest. It should motivate people to visit and comment more.

    I agree with sly…
    your sidebar looks a little empty at the moment,

    btw, great contests!

    willhaynes,
    the top commentator is located at the bottom, that is how the theme was designed.

    commenting is a good way of interaction but you must also give your input on comments provided by the commentator

    No, no.
    Sorry, I wasn’t too clear…
    I agree with sly that your sidebar looked empty, I had already found the top commenter widget! Maybe some affiliate buttons, or links to your current projects would spruce it up.. :D

    I see, yes that sidebar can be an additional revenue too.

    @bud,
    but don’t saturate it with ads, it might keep visitors and readers away, keep it light
