How to Win our Contest

The first thing that you are required to do is to publish a nice post about the contest and add a link to your article. This will help you to reach your readers and friends and ask them to comment and retweet your article to support you.

You must include the links of our sponsors in your post. This is very important as your article will not count if you do not publish sponsors’ links on your blog. These links are why our contest has the huge cash prizes – the highest we have ever seen for a blogging contest.

Try to be creative about why you’re participating in the contest when you describe it. Do not just copy and paste!. Take a minute to write a short description about the contest and your feelings about it especially in the first paragraph because this is important for SEO for you and us.

A very important thing to know is that we will help you in all possible ways. We have a very strong and supportive community of members and followers who will promote your article for you and try our best to drive as much traffic to you as we can. We want you to know that you are not alone in this, but you have to do your part of the job!

If you feel unlucky or you are inspired to write another killer article, you are welcome to submit it to increase your chances of winning!

How to win – again in your post:

How we will decide the winners?

This is the most challenging part of the contest. To guarantee the most impartial judging we will contact expert bloggers from our trusted community members who are not participating in the contest. Each judge will give points from 1 to 10 for each article. Their feedback will decide the quality of each article and the total points will decide that portion of the score. Sponsors are not eligible to participate in the contest. (And many really miss participating so give them your condolences and thank them for their sacrifices of not competing for the largest blogging contest cash prize ever!)

Other important factors

Number of valuable comments (one point for each quality comment or reply)

It is very important to understand that poor quality comments such as (thank you, great post, and I like this article) will NOT be counted in your score. Only comments that add something new, a useful tip, answer to a question or offer the commentator’s personal opinion will be counted. The author will get a point for each helpful and supportive reply – bloggers can score a lot of points for being supportive.

Number of tweets an article gets

This is a popularity contest which means the more Social Networking power you have the better your chance to win. We will measure tweets simply by our tweet buttons, if you know how to use twitter and social media you will get a lot of tweets. Remember that you can Tweet your post every day or even more than once a day. This will guarantee you get better results at the end by the end of the contest.

Do try to reach a higher number of tweets with out spamming your followers. The best way to do it is to change the title of your tweet each time. Be creative when you do it to attract more followers to retweet your article. Each Tweet counts as one point. We are going to use Topsy or TweetMeme that allows readers to easily retweet your article at the click of a button.

TIP from GrowMap: If you do not have a powerful Twitter account here is a way to get more Tweets for your article. Instead of Tweeting to no one send each of your Tweets to a specific Twitter user you know or admire. Be sure the Tweet includes a shortened version of your link and tells the person receiving it what they will find at that link. If you need assistance with this idea Tweet to @GrowMap and I will assist. All participants are invited to Tweet their articles to me and I will share them for you.
