Commentating Contest

Starting on October 1st 2008, to celebrate my new blog launching I will be running a monthly contest for Top commentators! The idea here is to build up a nice community of people that want to interact with me and each other, whilst learning about good business and how to succeed with your own online business!

The Idea is very simple, post good comments that are actually relevent and no comment spam and not only can you get a link on my sidebar for being in the top 10 commentators and free exposure, not only can you build up a good reputation with me and amongst everyone else in the community, but you also have a shot at winning some cold, hard, cash!

I will be paying $100 to the person who finishs with the most comments each month! Remember, if your post sucks, it will get deleted, not to mention it will make you look like a fool. So make each post worth reading, enhance your reputation and most of all, get posting! :)

    That’s a good amount you are giving away as a prize to the top commentators :)
    And yep agree that spammy comments are not just moderated by the bloggers but the commentators look foolish for just wasting their time and spamming..

    Hi Colin,
    Great videos for training there should be more of them.I enjoyed your Blogg and the incentives .I agree with you on spam ,I reckon half the emails we get could be classified as spam especially those that advertise programs that just dont work.

    Hi Colin

    Lovely blog !! And a lovely prize for comments !!

    I do not have a blog - many say it is easy but somehow I get too scared to start one - I am not computor technical :o(

    Wish you all the best dear friend and looking forward to your launch of Viral Networks - I do not know why but I have a feeling it will be a huge hit !!

    Good luck to all in the contest and may the best person win !!

    Regarding your comment “I am not computer technical”, is that a joke?
    Because you can obviously read, you can also type..hmm.
    Don’t you know that with just a little bit more content and interesting information- you’d have a blog? Then you could promote it by making comments to other people’s blogs like you did here..
    Naa, you must be jiving us!! hehe good luck though!

    Hello Colin, I just bought some impressions on the new site for viral networkers. Since it is still in prelauch I thought there should be a lot of people checking it out. I would recommend other members to think about buying impressions too. Now is a good time to get started on our new community and help build our site into a great place to call home. I am really excited about this community. I wish you luck and everyone else who have joined. Thanks for creating a great site to be! Cheryl

    Wow Colin! I am a recognized Internet Expert Author in the fields of Internet/Network Marketing and Personal Development as well… I subscribe to your “Keep it Positive” mindset! I think that we have a duty and an obligation to accept each and every individual who comes Online and do all we can to help them shine and grow. There are soooo many ways to make money Online and Multiple Steams of Income make the most sense to me. I navigated my way to you via Viral Networks and I tried to add you on my Twitter page by hitting the follow bar… but I don’t see it so when you respond let me know what’s up as I would enjoy learning from you! My Twitter ID is available to you… if you would like to have it… just let me know! Anyway -if you get a chance to Google me -look for the two articles about Denis Waitly and John Gray and you will see for yourself how I feel about looking at the best of peoples attributes and focusing on them instead of slamming people. So good luck and thanks for the contest -most importantly -good luck to everyone!!

    I think this blog is a great idea for the exchange of information among those working on the internet. Absolutely no spam is the best policy. I have spent a lot of time filtering and blocking spam emails. You change your address and bang immediately they find you again. I appreciate the quality site you set up on viral networks—

    Hi there!

    Great contest you´re having here. Colin, is this your $2500 dollar design you bought? It was well worth it. The design feels and looks “light” and I personally love the camouflaged $ signs at the bottom of your blog left from “Copyright ColinKlinkert.com”.

    Keep up the good work. Cheers!

    It’s Peter aka MLMNoob. I changed my name to match my site.

    I decided to copy your contest for the month of November on my site. I was just curious to see for myself firsthand if the contest idea really works to generate traffic.

    Are you continuing the contest for November?

    It will work if you get the word out. I haven’t really as Ive been too busy on my other sites and the blog is neglected. Soon ill get to spending more time on the blog and spreading the word.

    Hello Colin,

    I have seen this contest idea work in various forums in terms of increasing quality posts and also memberships, No reason why it won’t do the same here.
    Also,
    I have been seeing Your name for years online and it is good to be able to connect the name with a real person.
    I am quite sure that I will not have the time to be in the running for this contest but I do want to say that The Viral-network concept is an excellent idea and I am looking forward to building many long-lasting relationships here and also learning as much as I can along the way.
    I am very glad to have been shown this site and wish I had joined earlier.
    All the best to everyone,
    Ed

    I had a friend ask me why she should join Viral Networks. Maybe she did not watch the introductory video about VN. Here is another great reason to Join. Another great contest and opportunity to win a prize while having fun. It does not get much better than that. Well, I don’t know. It does keep getting better.

    Keep on keeping on,
