You may have noticed that last night I installed a new widget.
At the bottom of my posts, there is now a little box with a personalized message from me. The widget is called the “What would Seth Godin Do” widget. It’s very user-friendly; even I figured it out in minutes!
The reason that I chose this widget was to promote my December, and future, contests. I’m going to be giving away cash and prizes in hopes to spike my comment numbers, return visitors, and increase traffic. I’ve really got a good base of return commentators and frequent commentators; I’d like to reward those who comment on my site and also those who link to AverageGal on their blog.
My plan is to run a contest each month. I’ll be tweaking the details and prizes each month, so make sure to come back to check out each month’s contest details. Click Here to find out the December contest details.
Have you ever run a contest on your blog? What was your experience? Any advice that you’d like to give those who are thinking about running a contest? Thanks for your input!
