Guaranteed Blog Contest Ideas!
If you have been reading my blog long you have probably noticed that I offer a lot of free giveaways and contests on the blog. I do this for a specific reason, I want to become a great blog and the best way to do that is get what my blog has to say into the hands of readers.
But today we are going to talk about how to get readers in the form of contests on a blog. I want to share with you 3 guaranteed ways to get readers for your blog. These contest ideas I use myself and that’s how I know they work fairly well!
Blog Review Contest
The first contest type we are going to discuss is blog reviews. Basically the way these contests work are simple, you ask your readers to make a blog post on their own blogs about your blog. Tell them the more details and links you point to me the better your chances are of winning.
The bloggers who decide to enter the contest generally will do a good job on the post and these types of links are perfectly fine in the search engines eyes. Offer prizes such as paypal cash, iPod, free advertising and such, people will participate if the prizes are good!
Giveaway Contests
The next contest type is the giveaways; I generally use giveaways to get more subscribers to the site. Simply tell people that by subscribing to your blog they are automatically entered into a free drawing to win $25.00 an IPod, whatever your giveaway might be.
In your giveaways its best to either give away CASH or some product that relates to your readers. Giving a baby blogs readers an IPod won’t help as much as a gift card for BabysRUs. Stick with me on this one and you can’t help but get lots of subscribers out of the deal!
Top Commenter Contests
Next and finally is a Top Commenter contest, having an active blog is what it’s all about. By getting people to comment on your blog regularly you will automatically start to gain more and more subscribers plus higher traffic numbers. Tell people that the top commenter for xx number of days gets $15.00 paypal cash! You won’t believe how many people love paypal cash and will start commenting just for fun!

I understand how the giveaway contest can get people to subscribe to your site, but I don’t quite see how you know if someone is really subscribed or not.
You will see your subscriber count rise significantly if its working bud
Oh come on, really … who on earth would take part in a Top Commenter contest?

Comments and Subscriber contests work amazingly well.
nice site, let’s see if this contest works
Interesting…thinking about doing something like this.
The top commentator contest is cool, but I think most people would want more then $15. I think $50 would be a better number.
I discovered your homepage by coincidence.
