Good morning to all my blog engage members and I welcome you to yet another exciting week here on the blog engage social blog. I have some great and exciting news I will be announcing today and will also be sending via personal e-mail on the main site….
Cool contest, but can the ones who sponsor also qualify for winning with their articles?
Dragon Blogger´s last blog ..Heroes Premiere Crushed by House Premiere
Yes they can qualify but if they win they get all prizes mentioned minus what they contributed if they win that specific spot or win their own prizes.

Hi Jessi, the contest already started (Jan 1st 2009) and ends Thursday December 31st 2009. I’m hoping the prizes keep getting bigger and bigger as time passes.

Oi, so the people who have been using it full force since the beginning are definitely at an advantage.
This is the first I’d heard of you holding a contest. Best of luck to everyone!

Jessi´s last blog ..More creativity taking over your t-shirts
That’s right Jessi but if you think about it anyone can win this. The top engaged right now is only 19 votes. I’m sure you have 19 friends you can get to sing up and vote for you. I think it’s anyone’s game from this point on.

Nice Contest. Just interested in knowing, how would you cope up with spam voting like registering an account just for increasing vote on any article.

Typhoon´s last blog ..How To Make Money Online With Niche Blogs
Good questions Typhoon, when every member signs up with blogengage they are assigned a sign up IP and a last log in IP. This allows me to manage and maintain duplicate accounts. Also if the top engaged blogger has 50 or 60 votes and they are all without avatars and unfilled profile area’s we know it’s a scam. Small things I have learned over the past 2 years to help build our community.
It would be very obvious if someone cheated in the contest.
Twitter: bbrian017
bbrian017´s last blog ..What not to do on your blog
Ok..That could be way but as having some experience in hacking field, Are you able detect Socks 5 and 4 which is a much better replacement of using different IP’s.
Socks is a way with which you can hide your real IP and show some different IP from any country to fool the system. Note that Socks is way better replacement than using Anonymous IP(proxy)..

Typhoon´s last blog ..WP Robot v1.2 – Auto Pilot Plugin got Much Better
Typhoon,
It’s going to be hard but I’m sure I can manage telling the difference between fake votes and real votes. I’ll take your suggestions and do some research to see if I can in fact follow and track using Socks. I know cheating will be an issues as we proceed further into the contest. I was also thinking people will have a lot of votes from users that don’t update their profile seeing they are only here to vote. Worst case scenario we take the top 10 and create a Word Press poll to determine the winner.

bbrian017´s last blog ..What not to do on your blog
I will sponsor a one month banner ad spot in my blog and the blogger can choose the image. ( image being family friendly
