How to write your Article (the subject)
Article entries must be related to “comments” and “commenting”. We will help you by providing articles ideas for inspiration at Blogging ideas. We will be updating this post with new ideas from time to time during the contest, so make sure to take a look at it whenever you have a chance.
How to add sponsors links to your post?
We have made this super easy. We have created a special HTML code that is ready for you to copy & paste in your post. We are doing this for a reason so do use the code. We will update the code every week as the sponsors’ links will be rotating. If you don’t know how to do it or have any problem do not hesitate to contact us immediately and we will help you. Get the Sponsors HTML code from here.
Promotional Banners
Yes, we have a nice set of promotional banners in different size, it’s idea for your sidebar, you can use it to promote the contest and link to your article during the contest, check out our promotional set of banners.
Start and End time
- Contest start at 7th of June and Ends at 7th of July 2010
You must submit your article between these dates. We will announce the winners fifteen days after the contest ends. Why 15 days? Because we expect a large number of participants and we will publish only two articles each day (one article at ComLuv.com and one at FamousBloggers.net). We will probably need those extra days to publish all the articles submitted over the duration of the contest.
The judges also need time to read and rate all the articles submitted and to calculate the points. We will extend this to another week if necessary depending on how many entries we receive.

Hehehe, Andy I like this vid. This is the first time I’ve seen you in person and the vid was hilarious,lols. (gotta love the cash in the envelope)
Anyways I’m a bit pedantic so I hope Im not pissing you off by asking some questions here.
I’d like to clarify that first, we need to write a post about the contest (w/sponsors link of course) right? and then after that, we will write our official entry about commenting related topics and then submit it to you. Im quite confused because in “how to win your contest” post, you stated that I have to blog about the contest and then link to my article (w/c is not existing by that time) and on this video, you emphasized that the first step is to blog about the contest FIRST before doing any other things. So there’s a bit incongruity between those statements right?
Second question is how many entries are allowed per participant? is it just 1 or what?
Lastly, I haven’t read the part on how many winners will be selected. Is it just 1 winner? 2 winner? 50? or what?
I am subscribing to this comments via email so I can track your reply.
Thanks Andy

Hey Melvin, probably Andy is not around yet! so I will reply to you!
Basically Andy want to make sure that Bloggers write about the contest and added our sponsors links, the only difference between writing about the contest first or after is that you can link to your article to tell your reader about it, also you can do after adding the sponsors post, another thing is to include link to your article in more than one post of yours on your blog, or use the promotional banners, this is all up to you, we will not force you to do it as you add links o the sponsors by using the HTML code we provide!
You can participate with more than one entry if you feel so, or you are inspired to write another killer article with a good idea!
Note that your article could be published on ComLuv.com or FamousBloggers.net, we will publish 1 & 1 depending on the order we received articles.
WE don’t want to decided how much or how many winners till we close the sponsoring.. so maybe we will have 5, 20, 15, 20 we don’t know yet! also prizes could be $500, $300, maybe %1000 grand… also we will not decide that yet as we are open for sponsors till 20 of June!
We will let you know all about it, but one thing to be sure of that we will try our best to make a bloggers in our community happy with their prizes!
Good luck, and ask about anything if you need any other information!

so its just ok to post an entry first before blogging about the contest?
Thanks for taking time to answer.

Sure it’s OK, anyways, it’s up to you to promote your article the way you want, but we give you the best advice to achieve that! the thing is when you post about the contest and the sponsors early you will get a few link to that post early, because I am going to create a post that has a list of all blogger, blogs, articles in the contest, and it’s always good to have your links in to the top of that page!
But it’s still OK to to submit your entry first then write about the contest with a link to your article!

Andy dear, really, you have missed your calling as a comedian.
After watching the video with me, my two year old son says to me, “he’s funny.”
there you have it.
looking forward to the competition!

I wouldn’t want to be a comedian because then I’d have to be funny and I’m not good at things that I have to do.

Lol.. it’s quite thick, but lended perfectly to the comedy of the vid.
If I could master Brit speak, I’d totally do vids too! I vote for more so I can live vicariously.

Great job on the video! If that doesn’t get someone excited about being creative I don’t know what would. Hysterical! Like I said before, I think you need a weekly video show.
Good luck with the contest. It is going to be exciting to read all the entries.

Do the sponsors links have to be dofollow in the blog post?

Twitter: pEttKpJeIO
says:
if you don’t currently have dofollow enabled then no, you don’t have to change it just to add the sponsors links.
if you copy and paste the html from the post on famousbloggers site, your own wordpress settings will take care of nofollow for you.
@Andy,
I become a sponsor today of the contest. I’ve been thinking about it, and your post today put me over the top. I think it was the man-cave thing ya had going there in the video.
Now, I got to figure out how to win one of those prizes!

says:
thanks for becoming a sponsor! unfortunately, you don’t get to win any prizes because you’re a sponsor! It wouldn’t look good for one of the major sponsors to win their own prize would it?
Ah, I can see your point. Didn’t think of that. Kinda like the raffle organizer’s wife winning the raffle, eh!
Colleen Lane´s recent blog post ..Pasco Washington Homes For Sale
Awesome video and contest. I can’t believe you guys reached $3300 for the contest. That is really insane. I will be sure to participate but I will have to submit one of my best posts
hi! sorry if i’m asking at the wrong place. I’m trying to submit a ticket, but when clicking Support or FAQ, its not the page i’m looking for.
I recently installed ComLuv with IntenseDebate. But my blog’s background is dark. So when choosing latest entry, the pull-down menu is all white.
Pls help me-dont know where to submit ticket.tq

Hello Andy,
Lovely to hear you and see you at the same time in your video. You’re funny! I like that about you. Do they shoot episodes of Poiret (the Belgian Detective) at that curvy hotel?
Anyway, more to the point, I’ll be looking into being a $50 sponsor – just want to check with Susan and then I’ll send money.
Awesome idea!

Hi Cheryl!
thanks for coming by.. anyone can be a sponsor up until the cut off date by sending me or hesham the money they wish to give as a prize and giving us their preferred anchor text and target url for displaying on entrants sites.
The curvy hotel is in Morecambe, N.UK . I’m not sure if they’ve used it in an episode of Poirot or not! it looks more like it was used in One Flew Over The Cuckoos Nest!

Just curious, but it seems that the comment luv links are java script. So are you really creating links? On the flip side if the links don’t count as out bound then they won’t be dinging your link count on the page. Just curious. Do they count as follow links or not?
Thanks.
