I now have couple of front runners for winning $100 in Comment and Earn contest that I announced 10 days back. Although, the response has not been as much as I would have liked, it is not too bad either.
There are approximately 30 comments till yesterday night that have made the cut. The contest will be running till 26th of this month and the winner will be announced on the 28th.
If you have not yet done so, read the contest details here and give it your best shot. It may be one of the easiest $100 to earn. I am quite confident that there will be lot more comments coming in last 5 days.
On other front, in one my previous posts, I had mentioned that this blog will be seeing a redesign soon. Infact, I have been testing the new design during low traffic hours but the design seems to have some problem and it has not come out as expected. In short, it will take some more time. Sometimes, things just don’t happen as planned.
Comments
I've some "comments" on the comment and earn contest:
1) Word Limit: While the lower limit of 30 words is excellent, the upper limit of 100 words was not actually needed. If I'm defending a issue or trying to convince my point, I always need to remind myself to restrict myself in 100 words.
2) One comment allowed per person per post: Their are a lot of sites (e.g., slashdot) where people go to read comments rather than the actual posts. The reason is the healthy discussion they have their is excellent. The point is we need to encourage discussions on our blog to increase interactivity and I hope that was the reason for running this whole contest.
And, the above two reasons have forced me to post this comment over here and not here. I hope you take this as "constructive criticism" :)
Comment and earn is a good incentive , especially to starters. When it is known,ideas rule the world, and that one idea may change the very phase of an established situation[ e.g., an economic professor in a classroom gave the idea that if crude oil rates are hiked, oil rich countries count rule and control the world economy ! ] This was a just an idea ! But then see where the world is today with a barrel almost brazing $ 100 mark !
