Hi Gautam! It’s great to be nudged and informed about this post of yours. I just got back and phew..do I need some good info, there you are sending me this post through SU. That’s what I love about quality posts, no matter how old they are, if they are good deserved to be reminded and spread around. I personally was attracted by the #4, make it random. I’ll say it’s important to recognize what’s the main goal of the contest. Sometimes random can be of a good impact to the contest as well. I like that.

Keep the good posts coming! ^^

Hi Gautam, The contest concept is obviously a good one and as a newbie blogger in the summer I was very attracted to Keller Hawthorne's Fresh eVenture.com and her WP Design contest (link below) which ( amazingly) I actually won. I say amazingly because my design definitely wasn't the best one at the time, but hopefully it's now improving bit by bit. Anyway, I promoted the contest quite a lot and the prizes were very cool, but even better has been the added interest shown in my new site. Anyway,now,after 6 months of blogging, I'm nearly ready to start running my own contests ( planned for early next year) - and this post is very helpful. So thanks! Very best wishes , Will
P.S. I'm on your Google Friend Connect here - and it would be great to see you at my site too ( and if you'd like to be on the site itself in the blogging category.....just let me know!)

That's a huge amount you gave away.
For 1000$ there is no need for anything is else, because the money is huge!

I couldn't agree more. We had our first Contest on TechChunks.com where we gave away prizes worth over $1000. Broadcasting, keeping it simple and using random.org helped us a lot ot gain lot of participants. Great post!

Yes, I agree contests can make you and your blog very popular. I myself have been part of many blogging contests but at times I found it too difficult to understand the basics. It is very important that you explain things in simple terms which is easy to understand rather than being more technical which often leads to the loss of interest amongst those willing to participate. Great tips !
