Guest Blogging Contest..... Would you compete for $100 Cash???
I am currently creating a website centered around Web 2.0, and I am exploring ideas to initially engage people along with creating content for the site. So my question:
Would you enter a guest blogging contest that awarded $100 Cash to the winner(based on content, comments, pins, Google+, tweets, etc)? If not, how much prize money would it take??
I'd take $100 cash in a heartbeat, yet alone, any amount of money would do. However, I would need to find something to write about.
This could be on any topic regarding SEO tips, creating content, blogging, etc... as long as it is helpful to readers.
I am currently creating the site, I will be posting more details later.
I'm looking for guest posters, too. My site offers 2 backlinks, 1 ad unit and a minimum of 200-word article. Any takers? hehehe
It's called wordcrunchers.com, by the way.
A contest - so in the meantime, you get tons of free content and "eventually" someone will get $100.
Great way to con people into writing stuff that you get traffic for and increasing your AdSense income
I don't know how you would consider it a "con" if everything is outlined in black and white. FYI: A "con" would be TRICKING someone into doing something. Yes, getting addition content is the goal(as outlined), but everyone would participate willingly
Look let's call a spade a spade. You get a ton of content, you're holding out a carrot of "maybe" getting $100 bucks and no one will ever see the $100 since of course some faceless nameless idiot will have more traffic on their post..thanks but no
I agree with everything you are doing to fight spammers and con artist. Your only problem is calling a spade before you actually see a spade. What do ya do when you "assume"?

I am always surprised that guest blogging is never discussed on HubPages. We all know it's important to have backlinks pointing to our Hubs and websites. We also know that Google is working hard to detect and devalue links which are artificially created - things like directory...

Recently, I've been trying to diversify how I drive traffic to my hubs; I think a healthy link profile and different kinds of promotion are a great idea as so that we're not *just* reliant on search engines, other hubbers or social media to entice visitors.One of the best ways I have found to do...

What are your experiences with guest blogging?I have heard you get more traffic on your Hubs on HP if you do a guest post. What are your experiences?

To everyone who is using the Disavowal Link Tool on Google and/or has had a loss of traffic, be sure to remove any articles you have on EzineArticles and any other article sites you may have used to post links to your HP subdomain or Hubs. These links are considered spam links by Google and...

Does guest blogging really works for traffic?

Hi Guys!I was wondering what tactics some of you use to gain natural backlinks to your hubs. I've read about using Yahoo Answers and am trying to find article directories that offer more than just spammy or unnatural links. I know writers like to keep things close to the vest if they work well, but...
