But if you have the cash to keep marketing and give prizes for weeks on end it will definitely be huge. Yep :) I think people lose interest if a contest is too long though.

Perhaps I should give it some serious consideration. I think contests that run over several weeks with prizes each week works better. That way you are "forcing" people to stick with you ;) I’m very tempted to run a competition on my blog. Perhaps I should give it some serious consideration.

On competition, most people will just stick to the competition post then leave afterwards. But if your competition is successful enough, the number of people who stayed is usually larger. On advertising hmm.. I'm not so in to it unless you're serious on pro-blogging. Hmm.. On competition, most people will just stick to the competition post then leave afterwards.

I felt like I had done everything in power to promote it and it wasn't working. I emailed him statistics of my site and his site. John emailed me back and told me that I had great content I just needed to hold a contest to promote it. So holding a contest to is a great way to gain new readers at little to no cost if you can get a company to donate the prize. You could also offer free advertising on your site to the winner of the contest. I emailed John Chow about a year ago and asked him what he thought of my blog and what I could do to promote it.
