Healthy Lifestlye is running a SEO contest that might be very difficult to win. Maybe, some people will take it as a challenge to test their own SEO skill. To enter the contest, you’ll have to write a post that is highly Search-Engine-Optimized. You should link to their homepage using “healthy lifestyle” and also to their contest page.

Winner Selection
The competition winner will be the first article to get placed in the first 20 results in Google for the keyword phrase “healthy lifestyle”. Please notify them once you see your article in the Top 20…
If you ask me, this is very difficult to achieve, especially when your blog is totally unrelated to “healthy lifestyle”. But, anyways all the best to all the entrants who give this a brave try…

It seems like SEOlogs has entered the MyBlogLog’s Community Building Contest. And, they are putting serious efforts towards winning it. They reported 9th place in their contest post and they are now in 4th place. So, their contest is paying off.

The MyBlogLog’s contest runs till 30th November and so does SEOlogs’s contest. From Nov 15th to Nov 30th, they’ll be giving away a price every day. The prizes listed are :

• $150 Cash via PayPal + 2 Months 125×125 banner on dnScoop.com ($450 value)

My view is that the Ad spaces and links have been added as the prizes to increase the number of prizes and also to increase the total value to $2000. The entry instructions are pretty much long and you can read them in detail on the contest post.

It looks like John Chow and Shoemoney are very serious about winning their RSS Competition. While it may be very serious for them, it is, of course, real fun for all readers. They both try hard to beat the other and the best way to do it is “Run a blog Contest”. Thats what both are doing and Shoemoney has announced a contest with $13,000 worth prizes. Its not possible to list all the prizes here. But, do check them out here.

To enter the contest, you have to subscribe to his RSS Feed through email. Then you have to look for a “Put your Entry in Today’s Contest” link at the bottom of the feed. Click it and enter your name and email id. Thats it. You’ll be entered for that day. There will be 4 drawings everyday and on Grand Prize on November 1st. Don’t miss this one. There are lots of prizes to grab.

UPDATE : Few lines have been stroke out in the below text. These rules were present before this post was written and Narendra has updated them now.

Narendra, who won $2500 from BlogCatalog is now giving away $700 worth prizes in his blog TechTreak.com. This one of the very few negative posts that i am making about a contest. First of all i’d like to say that Narendra has not spent $700 for the prizes. If he had had $700, he could have very well gone for better prizes. The sponsors Rishiraj.info, dt.yogtec.com, BestofIndya.com etc.. are either his own websites or his friends’. And he is just giving away some ad spots and other stuff on these sites. In my opinion, all the prizes except the $111 cash are almost worthless. He is also giving away some SEO-related book and claims to be worth $155. But, he could have easily given away the best SEO Book, which is just $79.

Thats with the prizes. Now let us come to the “Entering the contest” part. All reviews must be 400-500 lines, which is really worthless. He wants you to tell about the different categories on TechTreak. You should link to him using “Blogging, Money Making and Gadgets”. You SHOULD submit your post to BestofIndya.com. You should add this code to your post :

<U><B>Supported By:</B></U> <A href="http://wwww.blogcatalog.com" target="_blank">Blogcatalog.com</A>, <A href="http://rishiraj.info" target="_blank">Blogging and Money Making Tips</A>, <A href="http://www.bestofindya" target="_blank">BestOfIndya.com</A>, <A href="http://www.thenetguruz.com" target="_blank">TheNetGuruz.com</A> and <A href="http://dt.yogtec.com" target="_blank">Yogtec’s Digital Technology</A>
This sucks. And also, as a Tip, he asks you to use his banner on your website.

After doing all these, if your blog is small, you are not going to win the prize because “winners are based on the quality, quantity, digg, technorati, pagerank, submissions, bookmarks etc…“. So, he can easily neglect any blog based on “quality”, since it is solely decided by him.

To Bloggers : Do not Waste your time with this contest. There are lots better out there and this is not the only one giving $700(definitely not worth $700).

To Narendra : When you have won $2500, you could have easily given away just $100 of it for a lot of Buzz. Now, you are trying to get $700 worth Buzz for $0. This is unfair. This is gaining you only Bad Reputation. And the last condition (digg, technorati etc. condition) really sucks. I wish that no one falls for your bait.

This contest is definitely going to get its own special place in the history of Blog Contests. This is the biggest i have seen and hopefully it will be so in the future too. The #1 Blog about Blogging ProBlogger is celebrating its third birthday. And about 115 generous sponsors have contributed a lot of prizes totally worth about $54,000. “The prizes range from getting theme songs composed for podcasts/videos, to iPods, to logo designs, to magazine subscriptions, to books, to cash and vouchers and so much more. Prizes values range from just a few dollars in value to thousands of dollars.”, says Darren.

All of these will be given away in the coming week. Here are the details of the contest directly from ProBlogger :

The details:

• Prizes will be won given away in a series of different rounds over the next week - mostly between Friday and Sunday (a little weekend fun).
• Tomorrow I’ll be posting a full list of prizes that have been donated. They’ll include both the prizes and who they’ve been donated by.
• We’ll also launch the competition tomorrow with the first round of giveaways - the purpose of this first competition is simply to spread the word of the competition.
• The competitions will have a range of entry criteria. Some will simply be asking you to leave a comment to say that ‘you’re in’. Others will require you to write a post on a particular topic or in a particular style (like my Group Writing Projects).

Can’t wait to see how it will go. It will be the most successful giveaway for sure…
