A contest blog. You see them everywhere. Why? Because getting content is so easy. You don’t have to find topics or even write it yourself. People will submit the content. You just have to sit back and relax. So having a contest blog is really easy.

Having a successful contest blog is not an easy thing to do. ContestBeat achieved this goal and it’s now in the TOP 10 of the contest niche.

But why contests? Are they any good? Yes they are. Case study: Domprofesor.com. Contests are great promotion methods. They increase traffic, links, rss readers and all stats in general. Before I started the contest I had 100 incoming links and 50+ RSS subscribers. After the contest I now have 250+ links and 300+ rss subscribers. So contests create awareness and build buzz. And in the long run it’s the best option.

Now you know what contests are all about, let me tell you more about ContestBeat. I chose CB because they had no fee for submitting a contest to them. Other contest sites that have CB’s coverage and viewers ask for a $10-$50 fee to post about your contest, while CB does it for free. Also what attracted me was the site’s design. Clean, crisp, big fonts, everything you need to make a site user friendly. And most of all, if you don’t know nothing about how to create a contest they have the greatest advice page, telling you all the right things and no bull.

So if you want more traffic, more buzz, more links and more subscribers, better start a contest instead of paying for any kind of advertising. And if you want to start a contest, better use ContestBeat.Com.

2) Second place: winning a site review is Contestbeat with this entry.

1) First place: winning an Archos 504 40GB Media Player or $200 is Rfidonline with this entry.

I am investing. I am investing in a contest. Contests are great because they bring in traffic (and subscribers). So with the help of my sponsors (AdBrite, TLA and UltraCoolHosting) i am able to host this great contest. So here are the prizes:

3rd place: a 6 month link in my blogroll

2nd place: a full review of your site (or a site chosen by you)

1st place: a Archos 504 40GB portable media player or $200 by PayPal

How to enter this great contest you may ask? Well at first i was thinking to pick someone(random) from the top commentators list. But that would would turn in a useless strig of useless comments so i had a better idea.

The winner will be selected via lottery but to make things more interesting we will also use a point system. This means that the more points you have the more chances you get at the price. And how will we get the points you may ask?

Well it’s easy. You get:

5 points for posting on your site a text containing 1 (one) link to http://domprofesor.com using the anchor text: marketing or monetization or make money and 1 (one) link to this GRRRRREAT contest. Here’s a quick example:
