Fedhz’ Blogversary/Bday Contest Mechanics

It’s October already. I’m sorry for the delay of this post, and the delay of the contest. I know most of you are busy recuperating from the storm that passed. But let us have a little fun. And maybe this money we’ll win will be put to good use… Donate it or something?

Okay, I’m procrastinating yet again. I’m really sorry. I just don’t want to start this contest without my dear friend, Pehpot. Their area was affected by Typhoon ondoy and the first floor of their house was submerged in water.

Very Important:

BADGES

Sponsors are not required (but would be appreciated) to place the small badge banner (125×125) in their sidebars, cuz that wouldn’t gain you any points. It’s just my way of determining the participants who will join the contest.

COMMENTS

If you have one or more blogs, just make sure to comment on the name you want to be remembered. Meaning, you can blog about the contest in your blogs and everything will be counted, as long as your blog is about 3 months old. As for the comments, just use 1 username and URL if you wanna be counted as one person.

Update: I just realized that you can use any URL as long as you use the same username when commenting. Oh, this widget is making me nuts. LOL

Oh, I love reading comments. That’s why this is the highlight of the contest. You can directly comment on my blogposts or respond to other commentors. Nonsense/unrelated comments will be deleted. You can always check your position on the sidebar (Engaging Readers). Previous comments (yes comments way back 2008) will be counted.

Since it’s hard to count and tally your comments manually, I’ll be using WordPress Top Commentators Widget and you will earn points accordingly:

1st – 50 points

2nd - 45 points

3rd - 40 points

4th - 35 points

5th - 30 points

6th - 25 points

7th - 20 points

8th - 15 points

9th - 10 points

10th – 5 points

Note: Judging of comments and blog reviews are according to my discretion. ^^

The Prize? For now the Pot Money is $275. So the cash prizes will conclude as follows:

1st prize: $200

2nd prize: $50

3rd Prize: $20

Lucky Participant: $5

1 month 125×125 ad spot from:
