View Full Version : $1,500+ Blogging Tips Forum Competition - October/November 2008 : Info & Rules


Kevin

This thread has all the details, rules and conditions for the $1,500+ forum competition which is running on Blogging Tips during October and November 2008.

Cash Prizes

This competition relies on the recently added Credits System (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/credits.php). The credit system rewards those who are active on the forum.

I cannot explain exactly how credits are awarded as I believe that a small percentage would try and cheat the system. However, the main thing to realise is that credits are fundamentally rewarded for being active on the forum including :



Referrals
Registering
Logging in
Posting

One thing I can say, you get a lot more credits for referring new members to the site. To see how you can do this please view the thread below.

How to refer members to Blogging Tips Forums (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=599)

I will also give an additional 100 credits to anyone who posts about this forum competition on their blog. You are more than welcome to use your referrer link in your blog post. If you do post about the competition please leave a message in this thread including a link to your blog post :)

On friday November 28th 2008 at 12pm Eastern Time (New York Time Zone), the top 50 members with the most credits will share $1,000 of cash prizes. I will switch the credit system off at 12pm ET and I will prepare the list of winners. Please allow a day or so for the list to be collated.

The money will be distributed accordingly :

1st Place : $200
2nd Place : $150
3rd Place : $75
4th & 5th : $50
6th-10th : $25
11th-15th :$15
16th-30th:$10
31st-50th : $5

You can see the 50 members with the most credits here (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/credits.php).

I want this competition to be fun however I also want it to be fair. Please make sure you check out all the notes, rules and conditions of the competition below.



Please note that all payments will be made via paypal (http://www.paypal.com/). If you cannot receive cash via paypal you will not be eligible for any cash prizes and the next person in the list will get the prize. I know this means some bloggers can’t participate but this is where my money is and it’s also the quickest and easiest way for me to transfer money to the winners. I normally try and accomodate those who can't access paypal however with 50 prizes up for grabs it just isn't practical.
In order to win a cash prize you must have at least 50 posts on the forum.
Only one forum account per person ie. anyone trying to sign up with multiple accounts in order to get a 2nd prize will be ineligible for any prize whatsoever.
Anyone trying to cheat the credits system will not be eligible for any prizes and may be banned from the forum. This includes frequent posts with little or no content. If you want to thank someone for helping you out please use the thank you option which is attached to every post instead of posting 'thanks' all the time!
Obviously, I am not eligible for any prize :)


Weekly Prizes

Thanks to all our sponsors who have kindly donated a prize :)

Here is a list to all the weekly prize threads. The threads will remain locked until the day in question. Then the question/challenge will be added and members can participate :)

Details of each challenge will be in the thread itself.


Week 1 : Wednesday October 15th 2008 (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=601)
Week 2 : Wednesday October 22nd 2008 (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=602)

Week 4 : Wednesday November 5th 2008 (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=604)
Week 5 : Wednesday November 12th 2008 (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=605)
Week 6 : Wednesday November 19th 2008 (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=606%22)
Week 7 : Wednesday November 26th 2008 (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=607)


Overview

I know I have added a lot of rules to the forum competition however it is important that it is fair for all members and no one gets an unfair advantage.

If you have any questions please let me know and I will do my best to address them and update this thread accordingly.

Last but not least, good luck. I hope you all enjoy the competition :)

Kevin,

I want to understand more about credits. What these credits are, and how can we use them later whenever we want to? Are these credits some kind of points that can be redeemed later for any service, or they simply represent the activity of the member?

Dannymh
10-14-2008, 05:16 AM
Some of those weekly prizes are making me salivate more than the case prizes. Whilst I would never normally spend much on services etc, the chance to speak with a successful blogger is huge!

Really like this competition and I will be doing my best to add quality posts and content to your site and not just junk, because man would I love some of those prizes

Dan

Even I would love to know more about credits. And for what activity, we will get how many credits. If that would be possible, it would be nice. And I am definitely participating in the competition.

Dannymh
10-14-2008, 10:08 AM
I think Kevins idea is if we know we will just start fudging it and adding content to the heaviest credited part. This is a content building exercise for Kevin an we should just keep adding relevant content where we think it is needed rather than simply trying to win a competition

Kevin
10-14-2008, 10:20 AM
mint - Yes these credits simply show how active a member has been. Many forums have added services so that once you reach a certain value you get something but I'm not sure if I want to go down that route as yet, mainly because I'm not sure how quickly members will rack up the points (ie. I can't say for every 100 credits you get $10 and then 1000 members get it within a week!!!). So for me, the credits system is mainly to monitor activity. However, I may add some other hacks in the future which work with the mod ie. something which members can use the credits for.

Danny - Glad you like the prizes.

navjotjsingh - I can't tell members what they get credits for. That would completely defeat the purpose of this competition as members would find some way of getting credits without actually contributing to the forum. The cash and the prizes are being used to increase activity on the forums so if you are active here you should be in with a good change of a prize :)

It seems 100 credits are being awarded for registering? Because indocontest also ended up with 200 credits after posting in his blog?

Because if this is the case, old members like me will have too many competitiors with new members registering. New members are surely getting sureshot 200 points just for posting in their blog instead of 100 points.

Kevin
10-14-2008, 05:07 PM
nav, I realised this earlier today. I have adjusted everyone who signed up before the credit system was added. They have all had 100 credits added to their profile :)

So everyone is on the same playing field now. :)

Unfortunately I don't have any banners designed at the moment. If there any designers out there who want to design a banner please let me know and you'll get full credit for it on our about page :)

(I've twice tried to get banners designed professional and i've had problem after problem!)

I know that's my ref link. But I want my users read that post first, in this case I want my users read this page first (http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/showthread.php?t=600) instead of index.php (mainpage).

And of course, i want to add my ref link to that post (t=600) as well at the same time. What should i do ?

navjotjsingh
10-15-2008, 02:16 PM
Your Suggested url is very correct. I have checked it. Actually whenever you insert the referrerid field in a forum's url, a cookie is created in the user's PC which tells that any further visit to the forum will retain the referrer value. And after he/she visits the register page, that same referrer value is taken from the cookie. So the url suggested by you earlier is correct. Go ahead and promote that url only.

I just setup a test account to check this and the referrer worked.

However, you need to change your link or you will give another member the credit.

your id is 553 and not 533

Yes referrers have to post a few times. This stops people trying to cheat the system. I won't say how many however if you are referring people to the competition it shouldn't be a problem.

Kevin...if you check the Richest page...most of the users are starting to get negative points...maybe the vbcredits you installed is penalising sort of negative points for not logging in the forum...or something like that.

Kevin
10-23-2008, 02:44 PM
I found out what was wrong. There was a negative multiplier being applied to certain awards if they were reversed.

This is what happened. A certain number of credits is awarded for being active, ie. logging in and participating etc. In this instance those who hadn't logged in for a certain period of time were given a negative multiplier.

I've now reversed it and set it so that inactivity does not reduce credits :)

Your referrers are showing. Again, as I have said before, I cannot state the terms in which credits are rewarded.

This forum does not currently have any staff members. Sarah does write for BloggingTips and has been very good in helping members with design problems on here.

100 credits added. Also, I recommend changing your referral link at the bottom as I don't think that will work. You should instead use http://www.bloggingtips.com/forums/index.php?referrerid=554

i think there is must be limitation to do blog post....
Anyway, it's just my opinion, how about it, kevin?

Because there is a people which have many blog, so if it's like that, their will not contribute to get point (posting) but just to request point from their blog post.

Is also good to make minimal post to get entered is 200, because i find this forum is so silent.

I have been monitoring all posts about the competition. I wont be awarding any credits for posts on a brand new blog which has been added to get more credits. However, all the posts have been on blogs which are being updated regularly.

I'm also reluctant to bring in a new rule at this state. I think it would be unfair to bring new rules in at this stage though I will keep looking at this to make sure someone doesn't have an unfair advantage.

I don't know!! My blog is three months old!! Anyway thanks for the points!!
I have other blogs well established blogs but it will look like spamming if I blogged about something which is totally irrelevant. So I Chose monetize blogger as it is the most apt for this post!!

only blogs which are live and updated regularly can be accepted in this contest. It would be incredibly unfair to those who have been posting regularly to accept links in dead blogs.
