Contests are nothing new in the online world. Many people have been using contests to get free web traffic for years. However, there is a slightly new twist since the blog revolution that has made running a contest much more effective and fun.
The concept is the same. You come up with a prize (or many prizes) that would be appealing to your blog readers. Of course, offering your own product as the prize would be preferable since you can mention it on your blog (so everyone who sees your contest will also see your product link). But, if you don’t have your own product, you can easily ask around and find people who will donate.
Once you have your prizes, the fun starts. You have several options for your contest:
- If your goal is to get people to interact, ask your readers to post a comment to win.
- If your goal is to get incoming links to your blog, and, if your readers are bloggers themselves, ask your readers to blog about your contest (on their blogs) and then comment to let you know they did it.
- If your goal is to get to know your readers, ask them to complete a survey to win.
- Or a combination of the items above.
Immediately after you post your contest, send a mailing to each of your ezine lists, letting them know about the contest. You’ll want your loyal readers to have the opportunity to win.

L.A. of Lord at Works!
One month ago, I started a blog contest which gives the participants a chance to win 1 year domain name and 1 GB hosting (sponsored by Jhay).
Prizes were:
1 domain name (.com and .net) plus 1 GB hosting for 1 year.
Consolation prizes: 5 winners of the 1 month link from this blog and 2 winners of 100 Entrecard credits. I will contact the consolation prize winners later on how to get their prizes.
I want to thank all of the participants. Until the next blog contest! I apologize for this delayed posting.

Domain name registration these days costs an average of $9.00/year. It already sounds much for me. So I looked for ways that will give me cheaper domain registration. My first option was to search the web for cheap domain names. My second option is to use a coupon code to avail discount. But where do I get one?
Luckily, I found a great site which provides coupon promotional codes including those for domain names and hosting. Retail Me Not is an easy way to find online coupon codes.
Using the FEBLUV code (NameCheap’s coupon code for February) I got the domain name for only $8.41 from its original price of $9.96!
Promotional coupon codes for domain registration and hosting.
