Do You Remember our Bloody Awesome Guest Posting Contest?

October 5, 2010 - Last Modified: January 18, 2011 by Hesham Zebida

I am sure you remember our Huge Guest Blogging Contest, but in case you forgot, here I am trying to refresh your memory, and also letting our new readers and blog visitors know about it in case they’ve messed such a great event, or haven’t heard about this massive contest.

I have move than one reason for publishing this post, the first reason -as I’ve mentioned above- is to remind you, the second is to remind myself 🙂 and also one very important reason is to put a few links together in one post (this post) to make it more easier to reach and track the main posts of the contest. Maybe there are more reasons.. who knows?

This is what we are going to discover together!

BI have to mention one of the most interesting things about our guest posting contest was the soul of competition, all participants were supporting each other in a fantastic way, this is why I am wondering if we going to have same spirit of we organizes another one?

Good Memories!

I remember the first contact between Andy Bailey the guy behind ComLuv and me, we had a very long discussions about the contest and it’s details, and we end up patterning on the biggest blogging contest ever! (If you know a bigger contest.. let me know!)

Memorable events!

~ I remember when I asked you what is the best contest prize? and YOU decided that CASH is Nice! it was our mission to bring it for you!
~ I remember our awesome blogging comments folder that we’ve created it together!
~ It was really great to meet all together before pronouncing the winners!
~ At this time our Judging team was working 🙂
~ Happy moments for our 20 winners
~ Delivering big cash prizes is unforgettable!

Hmmm…

I wrote this post to remember the old good days, well.. or maybe it’s time for another bloody awesome guest posting contest? (you decide)

Kimberly Castleberry says:

Hesham, The BlogEngage guest blogging contest is running through the 31st of October and I have another contest already overlapping it which doesnt end till the end of November. I'd certainly be game for another guest blogging contest but please not till at LEAST November. Although if you could use some assistance with it I may be willing to step up to help this time like I mentioned prior.
- Hesham says:
  
  That's so nice of you Kim, yes I think we still have time, we don't need to rush anyways!

Gera says:

Someday for me. All contests require to be a do-follow blog and as I’m in blogger, I don’t know because some tools said I’m do-follow but I’m not sure. Anyway, keep going with your good work and remember the sky is the limit for your contest!! All the best, Gera
- Kimi says:
  
  Your blog is dofollow :) I have noticed this blog has been growing so fast too with its guest blogger posts. Well done Hesham and keep it going.
  - Gera says:
    
    Thanks for the info. I wasn't sure about it! Cheers, Gera
  - Hesham says:
    
    Hey Kimi, thank you for your time dear!
- Hesham says:
  
  We don't require that Gera! We are different than others :)

  - Milind Bawankar says:

Brian says:

Hi Hesham, I wasn't able to enter the last contest so I would definitely be interested if you decided to start another. I think it's a great way to jump start some interaction by adding a little competition to the FamousBloggers community.
- Hesham says:
  
  Hey Brian , We do contests for a lot of reasons, interaction is one of them! I hope you can join this one :)
Jeevan Jacob John says:

Great Time to Start ! I already have some articles on the queue. Anyway, Good Luck Hesham !

  I suggest you write for the contest, also not all posts will be publish here on FB, anyways, we still planning and let's see what will happen!
Richard says:

I've only just heard about this contest so I missed out. It sounds like great fun and A really great way to meet and interact with the community. I'm definitely looking forward to future events like that one if only to read some great posts.
- Hesham says:
  
  Hi Richard , Thank you for stopping by, I hope you will like our coming contest
Mat says:

Great. I have never heard about this kind of contest. I would like to participate. Thanks for updating me about this kind of contest. Thanks.
- Hesham says:
  
  Hi Mat, stay tuned!
bryan says:

hey hesham.. I think you should have it again. I think it was very good the last time you had it. Wanted to guest blog but was still sorting out my blog at that time.
- Hesham says:
  
  Hey Bryan, thank you for your respond, there is one post by you in the pending folder, I will check if I can publish it today!
  - bryan says:
    
    yeah.. about that I've actually rewritten the article. Will post it up once it's done :)
TJ McDowell says:

A contest would be good motivation for me. I may give it a shot.
Ileane says:

Hesham, another contest would be just grand! I'm wondering what you will do to make it unique and different from the last one. If it's something I can write about I will enter, otherwise I will be a sponsor (I know that it's not fair to do both - or is it?)...Can't wait for the announcement.
- Hesham says:
  
  Each time we have to think to make it different :) Yes, Sponsors can not participate, so it's up to you decide what on which side you are! I am so excited for this contest, and I hope everything goes well!
Pankaj Gupta says:

I have not yet participated in any contest. I am planning to start a guest posting contest and this post will help me a lot to understood it. :) Thanks for sharing.
- Hesham says:
  
  You can take around and see how we did our recent contest!
  - Pankaj Gupta says:
    
    Thanks for your information. I will look at it.. :)
Lennart Heleander says:

Hi Hesham, Thanks for remember me. I started writing a special article about SEO and a new trick to get better and stronger back links. The problem is I’m still testing it and maybe I can’t write about it in time.
- Hesham says:
  
  Very nice Lennart, I think our new contest will be open for different topics, so you participate by sharing your SEO tricks
Deepika says:

Hi, It is a nice habit to remember old memories...After reading i remembered the day on which i won prize in MMO Constest. That contest unforgettable. But we are all waiting for the new contest:-). Hope you announce soon.
- Hesham says:
  
  Yeah, I remember that to, stay tuned as we are working on the new one!
- Milind Bawankar says:
  
  You are very true, old memories are always close to our heart.
Patricia says:

Helathy competition is good. Hoever, will it be a level playing field. New bloggers competing against blogs that have thousands of visitors per day voting for them.....is this the way it works? I'm fairly new to blogging so just asking as I've seen competitions on other sites and it seems the big bloggers usually win the day. Patricia Perth Australia
- Dave Doolin says:
  
  Patricia, two things: 1. You're not too far wrong... but... 2. Ultimately, the really big bloggers are big because they write well, and write fast. And they have been doing it for years. These things are worth doing. I should have done the last one. I'm sure I could have placed, had I put enough effort into it. And no matter what, that effort would have paid me back later with an ability write better and faster. Even if I didn't win. And now we have the journalists flooding in, bringing their own writing skills AND their existing networks. The good news: show up every day and you will get better.
- Kimberly Castleberry says:
  
  Patricia I suggest you go take a look at last events winners. What you're going to see is that many of the bloggers that generated big responses were not huge blogs. I placed well and I certainly don't generate even a single thousand a day. As a new'ish blogger you need to come compete in a bunch of these - but not necessarily for the goal of winning. Every competitor will read, comment on and have a look at every other and its a chance for some big exposure for you. I got a respectable traffic spike out of it on the last run. You need to be attempting to put yourself in front of as many eyeballs as possible, including fellow bloggers that may be able to remember you when they hear of someone that needs what your selling. The goal here really isn't in winning the prizes its in winning the exposure. Yes, odds are that the individuals that will take the bigger prizes will be somewhat more established bloggers - because frankly they know how to create a "social buzz" around their content that a lot of us need to learn from. It was an incredible learning adventure to watch bloggers like Kristy (Kikolani) make use of every possible way to generate bonus points on the last contest - she frankly showed us how to play the game. Set out with the right spirit, compete as often and regularly as you can, and get the exposure that these types of events bring hun - and don't let the numbers unsettle you. Kimberly
  - Patricia says:
    
    You are such an encourager Kim. I get the point now. I saw the big bloggers using all their skills and thought that was it. I will think about it once my shopfront is up and I'm able to. Thanks Patricia Perth Australia
Dave Doolin says:

I might be up for something like this now. By the time I got wind of the last one, I was already committed to other ventures!
- Hesham says:
  
  Hey Dave, I would love it if you can participate on our coming contest, I hope it will be a good one!
