@Hesham,
What are the requirements for joining this contest and are there limitations to the amount of posts, i mean can i post more than a post.
Also, is it the traffic to the post that will determine the winner i.e. will someone with a post with 3000 reads win over someone with a post with 5oo reads.
Thanks

Also I forgot to ask about the Scribe SEO plugin. Do we get to use this for our articles or how is this plugin involved in the contest?
Missy@ Facebook Marketing For Bloggers´s last blog ..Facebook Marketing For Bloggers
(2694 comments) March 3, 2010 at 10:35 pm
I was about to give the option for guest bloggers to use the plugin and try it out, but after thinking about it again, I thought it would a better idea if I don’t give access to it.
Why?
Simply because we have 300 evaluations, so imagine if someone did so many evaluations and finish with them
the plugin will stop working!
So, I decided to do this job by myself, so after you submit your post, I will analyze it for you before publishing it!
(3 comments) March 3, 2010 at 1:39 pm
Hi, Hesham:
I’m a member of My Blog Guest and would love to join this cool contest. Count me in.
Quick question for you. Do we need to write an article here on FB and then also one on our blogs? Please clarify. Thx!
Missy@ Facebook Marketing For Bloggers´s last blog ..Facebook Marketing For Bloggers
(2694 comments) March 3, 2010 at 10:29 pm
Great to see you are considering our contest Missy!
The contest guidelines above is very clear, but I will explain to you in 2 points:
- we need you to write your guest post which we will be published on FB blog here.
- write a post on your blog (about the contest) and included sponsors links and prizes.
The purpose of writing about the contest is to:
- Spread it out, so your community and readers will visit and retweet your post
- Give backlinks to the sponsors (this is very important) as they are sponsoring the contest to get those links and spread their blog, services, products that you will enjoy if your post win!
I hope this makes it more clear to you!
(15 comments) March 3, 2010 at 12:39 pm

(5 comments) March 3, 2010 at 12:18 pm
Hi Hesham,
I can understand why you want to include number of tweets as one of the criteria but that tilts the scare in favor of people having large number of tweeter followers. I shall be submitting my guest articles as I was planning to submit them anyways but do consider some ways to normalize the above point.
(2694 comments) March 3, 2010 at 10:11 pm
The number one factor is the quality of your post! and to do this I will not decided the winners alone, I will take some opinions from trusted people and friends about the post itself before pronouncing the winners!
Then will count comments and tweets….
Don’t forget that there will be 5 winners, which means a very good chance for winning! just concentrate on your post and the rest is more easy
(8 comments) March 3, 2010 at 8:53 am
We are excited to partner with the contest. I am sure it will be a great hit!
