  Maybe you should let every one on my blog-contests.net site know :-)
  
  I left you a comment on the contest post also.
  
  thanks

  You have so much going on here it's hard to even find your contest. Looks like you are using every plugin and widget available and in my honest opinion it looks bad.
  
  I personally love the color green, but on websites it doesn't work. Might be something to do with your yellow shirt as well but I'm immediately turned off by the look of your blog. I just thought I would share that with you. Yes I'm a designer.
  
  Anyway, take care.

  Hey Jeff,

  
  

  Thanks for stopping by I appreciate your advise. Unlike you, I think green is great color anywhere website or not....

  
  

  I care less whether or not you are a designer. You can stick your designer opinion you know where.

  
  

  Not a good first comment man. I don't mind to be criticized, but first comment? Come on, you can do much better that that!

  I hear over and over that blog contests are the ultimate link bait but if I offered $200 to my readers, the 3 people that read my blog might laugh at me. :)

  Wlecome! And you probably have more than just 3 readers. You might be surprised with the results.

  hi Vlad, Blog contests work well for blogs that have bloggers as readers and that are generally on technology, web 2.0 and blogging. I have not yet seen any contest at a business blog or blogs on a particular subject like photography or travel. Putting it another way, let's say how can we do a contest by a blog that generally has a non-blogging readership?

  Apart from group contests, there are some good link exchange schemes that are beneficial to join to some extent.

  Hi India Public relations

  
  

  I hope you are still following the comments. I am so happy you have mentioned web 2.0! Every one is talking about it but I can't eve find the download so I can install it on my computer. Do you you know where I can get web 2.0?

  
  

  Social Media,,
  
  Thanks for stopping by. I do not think though that links generated via these contest carry much authority with them.

  I think so much of it has to do with format. If you offer $100 to comment #100, what incentive is there for people 1-99 to comment?
  PS I like the color green, I think it looks fine here :)

  Welcome Neo Meme,
  
  I was just reading your blog believe it or not. I think if people continue to to complain about green color I will just have to hire the "supperkickass" web 2.0 designers to redesign my blog:

  I completely agree with you about the rest of the people participating in the contest. I think I will give it a few days and will change the rules a little. most of those comments came within first two days so we are moving too slow.

  I've been contemplating holding a contest too, but I am not sure of what the parameters should be or if my expectations will be in line. Best wishes with your contest -- you have to start somewhere!
