3. The aim of the competition is to increase the search visits to your blog as much as possible and those two who increase their search visits by the maximum percentage will get the first and second prizes. There are a consolation prizes for the next three runner-ups.
4. The base for current search traffic is the average search visits per day for the month of December 2008 (Dec 01st to Dec 31st 2008 – value 1). The increase is
calculated based on the average number of daily search visits from January 1st to February 15th (value 2). Basically ((value 2 – value 1) / value 1) * 100% is the formula to decide the winners). There will be weekly updates provided from Week 1 through Week 6 and the values for these weeks will be again last six weeks daily average visits. (Due to the continuity sake, the subscription period of January 2nd through January 11th is also considered for the final weightage. This is because, most SEO activities you do today reap benefits only after a few weeks)
5. The competitors’ Google Analytics data will be kept strictly confidential except for the average number of daily visits needed for the calculation (Only this number will be published in the scorecard). Take a look at the sample scorecard here

8. Those who have very little or no search visits till now can also participate. In that case, however, the base (average daily search visits for December ‘08) will be set to 5 (or another value as deems fair by the judges) to curb explosive growth numbers.
9. Other DON’TS: Black hat SEO techniques, paid hits etc will not be allowed and those who indulge in the same will be removed from the competition.
10. Judges’ verdict will be final. Myself and Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips will be the judges for this competition.

Blog Review: DennisEdell.com & EashCashContests.com
Dennis Edell is an internet marketer that runs DennisEdell.com, his personal blog. This blog is the “central hub” for all that will be in his empire to come. He runs 3 websites currently and plans to build an e-commerce website and has several other blog ideas in the process. To learn more about Dennis visit here.
Easy Cash Contests is website that lists blog contests where you can win cash online. Learn more about EashCashContests.com here.
This review is a joint review where both blogs will have mutual aspects being reviewed at one time. All criticism is solely my opinion and represents my thoughts on both blogs. Now for the blog review:
Blog Theme – Simple, but plain theme. The layout is very simple and easy to read. The color scheme is a it bland since the majority of the page is white with a gray background. Post titles are simple and easy to read, no clutter throughout the theme, and the RSS button is placed directly at the top of the page in the middle box. The blog theme does need some work in my opinion to give readers “more to look at” (both blogs need work when it comes to design).
Site Navigation – Navigation through the blog is simple. Recent Posts and Recent Comments are in the sidebar, but the archives are located at the top of the page. The sidebar is quite empty along with the footer. Like I mentioned earlier, the blog design needs a little work. Social Networks and Most Popular Articles are located at the top of the page with the RSS subscription box in between. The website loads quickly and there is no problem when viewing articles. EarnCashContests.com contains the same navigation, but less content toward the top of the page.
Site Pages – Both blogs include an About page, Archives, and Contact page. The pages are very basic and there is not much else featured in this section. The About page is very simple to read an not long whatsoever. Contact page is professional and the Archives page is nicely put together.
Content Quality – Article content is for DennisEdell.com is low with only 8 articles posted throughout the website. For a marketing blog, there isn’t much marketing-related content. There are several humorous posts and some person posts, but there needs to be some useful marketing content as some point. EarnCashContests.com only 4 posts and needs some work when it comes to finding blog contests.
Ad Placement – There are no advertisements posted on DennisEdell.com, but EarningCashContests.com contains 2 advertisements. These 2 ads do not disrupt the content and work nicely with the plain design.
Site Statistics – DennisEdell.com has a PR1 and Alexa rank are 1,404,198 and currently 22 subscribers. EarningCashContests.com has a PR1 and Alexa of 1,949,641 and 18 subscribers. The websites have a lot of work to be done, so over time I’m sure these stats will improve.
Final Thoughts – Both blog designs need to be worked before more readers start to take interest in the content. Once Dennis starts posting more material on marketing and contests and the design becomes appealing, he’ll surely get his reader count much higher and Alexa rank increased. As for Pagerank, with a little SEO and link generation he’ll be sure to get these stats a nice spike.
