The great CommentLuv contest is going well, 67 people have registered their sites to take part so far! I had to rewrite the contest page at commentluv so it doesn’t load them all until the user presses a button.
There are an ever increasing amount of comments being made every day, amazing to think it’s only been live for 4 days now!
3 people have won (1 person won twice!) already and there are going to be at least another 10 prizes to go out before 22nd Nov
I want to see if the contest page or a new one showing the current prize can attract some prize sponsors.. I put a link to buy any of the gadgets that I stock in my ebay store under each prize in the prize list and they are getting some pretty good clicks. I’ve sold more than the usual amount of memory cards in the past week and I’m sure it’s the contest doing it.
My idea is to code a widget that shows the current prize and who has donated it that can be displayed on the commentluv blogs that want to be part of the contest. I link it to a page on CommentLuv.com for the prize details including links to purchase the product at the sponsors site.
Given enough time for the contest to run, it could generate some good traffic and maybe more sales…
Maybe I can convince one of my suppliers to go with the idea and make a really good prize donation like an Asus eee PC or other fancy electronic gadget?
What do you think? I’d love to hear your opinion

I’d be happy to display a widget. And? Are there any cash prizes? I would also be happy to donate a memory card as a prize as well. Lookit me. I’m a sponsor. Heh.

Also would display widget. I think everyone likes to win stuff especially when it’s not a complicated process like the one you’ve put in place –
I just checked the WordPress Extend Plug-ins stats showing there were 88 downloads today, 97 yesterday, 791 last week and 33,959 in total. That info potentially might attract sponsors. As you say though, it’s only been active four days. It’s a great plug-in so the contest aspect is just a bonus. Once word gets around, I think you’ll see a sharp increase in participants.

I will collect some statistics over the remaining part of the contest and see what it shows so I can have some real numbers to share with potential prize sponsors.
Andy, thanks contest prizes are now showing — don’t know what you did but it worked. Take care, Larry

I love that plan and would definitely add it to my site. I’d love to pay it back/forward!

larry: glad you can see the prizes now, hope to see your picture up there soon!
tata: that’s the general opinion from a lot of people. thanks for the feedback!
A note to all those registered, please fill out your bio! Personally speaking I went through the page and clicked on very few sites…only the ones that actually said what the site was about.
Very few people have the time to “blind click”.
