		<description>Holding contests will be a big thing for my website once it becomes established.

I often find myself frequently returning to blogs which hold contests.  I&#039;ll take this bit of info and apply it to unTECHy.

Another great post!</description>

		<description>Mike,
I wouldn&#039;t recommend any kind of contest that required people to link with a specific anchor text. It&#039;s dangerous right now. The examples of Sarah&#039;s and Daniel&#039;s group writing projects generated a lot of links for everyone with no specific anchor text required. That&#039;s much safer.</description>

		<description>I have hear recently that google frowns upon contests that trade something in exchange for anchor text links.  Any ideas?</description>

		<description>[...] Steven of Vandelay Website Designs was the top commentator for the month of September. He recently did a post about Blog Contests where Steven asked Sarah of BlueJar, Adnan from Blogtrepreneur, Darin from Darin.cc , and Daniel from Daily Blog Tips four questions about their recent blog contests. Each of the bloggers has some really good advice about holding a contest on your blog. I suggest giving the post a read if you are thinking about holding similar contests on your blog. While I am on the subject of contest, before running a contest on your blog, I would also give David Airey&#8217;s post How I reversed My Google rank Penalty a read. As the result of holding a contest, where in David asked for links back to his site with specific link text, he received a penalty from Google. This post tells what steps David took to reverse the penalty. [...]</description>

		<description>I love this idea, and as a dofollower I would like to host a contest as well, but I have slight problem. Blogger template that I am using only allows 5 comments per post. Any idea on how to increase it?</description>
