    I have a question about one of the requirements for this contest…

    ‘Add Sponsors links to your post using the correct anchor text and make sure the links are do-follow. This is extremely important and your post won’t be eligible to win if you haven’t fulfilled this requirement. The sponsors are the ones making the cash prizes possible, so show them some link love.’

    What does this mean exactly? Does this mean simply linking to sponsors using the appropriate anchor text? I thought all links, unless coded no-follow, were do-follow links.

    In order to win this contest, guest bloggers must gather more votes to the readers right?

      Hi Felix, Winning the contest will depend on how yo market your post, comments, traffic, creativity and so much more. Comments will have a large affect and the interaction between comments as well.

        Just my 2 cents, if the winner is judged from the quality and quantity of the post comments, it’s not fair if comment takes a large impact. If a contestant writes a post as an entry for the contest on the last day, then it might not be able to get more comments or traffic than the post entry which writes earlier. A 60 (Quality) over 40 (Comments & Interaction) or 70-30 would be good, what you think bbrian?

        I’ll be writing about the contest and submit a guest post for review very soon.

        Regards,
        Lee

    That’s great! I have a question bbrian, do we must write a post about this contest on our blog in order to be qualified for the contest? If not, then I’m ready to write a guest post for the contest. :)

    Please advice.

    Okay, so the topic of our contest entry article has to be about the blog contest and it’s sponsors. Then we also have to write a blog post on our own personal blog about the contest including sponsor links in that post as well?

      Jalessa, I’m pretty certain that like a prior contest I’ve done the steps/idea are this.

      1. FIRST – go write on your blog ABOUT the contest – tell your readers you’re entering, encourage them to support/participate/help you – and include the links to the sponsors.

      2. SECOND – write a guest post for THIS site – on anything relevent to this site. I dont think the guest post has to reference the sponsors at all.

      3. THIRD – Keep reminding your community, friends, fans, followers, readers and list subscribers to come support you by posting comments and syndicating the guest post entry you did after it has been published.

      Those three steps should do it.
