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,

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 (

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!

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,

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.

Interesting concept. As Jun said will you be continuing with this monthly contest? People appear to have stopped making any comments for some time. I expected to get to the end of the comments and find loads of peoples comment for Feb and there isn’t even one yet, unless I count mine.

No one commented in January, but had one person made just one comment would they have won for that month? By the wording on the introduction that you used this should be the case, in which case I am actually in the lead for Feb 2009 right at this moment, but I imagine if it is the case loads of people will now start to comment and I wouldn’t be there for long, shame.

I have a number of blogs that range across my numerous interests, some get lots of comment and others don’t, my articles up until I got banned from one particular article site last year for putting in an affiliate link in an article by accident to help someone else were getting around 100,000 comments a day. I can be a little controversial as well, politically that is, have a political blog which basically relates to politics in the area I live, naughty woman I can be, have even done the odd political video and ended up public speaking recorded and being put on line.

Do you think popular blogs are popular due to the personalities of those producing them or just pot luck?

Anyway, you have probably concluded that I write novels by now, so signing off before this becomes one,lol.

Best of luck and all the best for the great work you do, regards, Linda

Doesn’t the above confuse anyone? I had to stop and remember we’re not even close to December 4th yet. Is that a European thing — like that yacht at the top of this page? Just
wondering.

Here’s some old world wisdom: The person who thinks money CAN DO ANYTHING is the same person who will DO ANYTHING FOR money. Scary thought.

Even more scary is most, not all, but most jaded and dangerous gangsters with names like ICE, WON’T.

Have you read Sylvie Fortin’s IM SINS? It was very good and all too true. If you suspected anything, she clears it up and gives you the true meaning and motives behind all the tricks of the trade.

Boy I hope this is okay, I covered 4 subjects all at once with no clue about the actual subject of this very long column…I’m going to get some sleep now!! I STILL see December 4th –Ahh.

Hi,

I was commenting on the European date format – it keeps making me stop and think…what date IS that?

Now I see what this column was and it started last year — that date again looks like January 10, 2008 and then it says 18/10/2008 I’ll get used to it sooner or later.

The contest is a good idea if it gets people asking questions and moving forward. I need some blinders like they put on horses – at least M-F and then I can look around on the weekends!!

Thanks for your reply – you’re one of the few “REAL” leaders out there! Keep it up, we need it — at least I hope it’s we and not just me.. Leah
