How to avoid Scam Blog Contests

Screen shot from Contest Blogger

Holding a contest in a blog is a good way to increase subscribers, links and even traffic. I see nothing wrong with it especially if the prize is attractive like huge cash.

Although it may look hard to detect which one is scam or not, one should only have some common sense to be smart enough. The tips below may not be the actual indication of a scam contest, but they can serve as clues.

I will be attending my first Blogging Event ever

This is just to inform you that I will be attending a blogging event for the first time. This DigitalFilipino.com Club and Bloggers Manila Networking Event will be on October 25 (which was originally set to Oct 29), 6 ~ 11pm, at the Forum Hall, Casino Filipino, PIRC Bldg. Ninoy Aquino Avenue, Parañaque City, Philippines. This free event is being sponsored by a club member, PAGCOR (Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation) and being organized by DigitalFilipino.com. Actually, there are 2 similar seminars that will pursue; one in Davao (Oct 21) and the other in Cebu (Oct 23).

By the way, DigitalFlipino.com Club is an Internet community that was launched last December 25, 2003. It is founded by Janette Toral, who is also the blogger behind Blogging from Home and a lot more. According to her invitational post, the highlights of the event will be exchange of updates of Filipino e-commerce industry players and bloggers as well. As of this posting, 103 Filipino bloggers are listed to come including me.

I found some familiar names on the list, and I am very much excited to meet them personally for the first time. I am also expecting to learn a lot from some of the finest Filipino Internet marketers and bloggers.

With this, I am inviting all fellow Filipino bloggers and Internet marketers to join and support this interesting event. I will try to take some photos and make a separate post after the event, on my main blog.

If you have further questions about this event, you can check out Janette Toral’s blog post.

Hope to see you there.

Farewell Entrecard but Hello to my Blogger Friends

The time has come for me to make my last post as an Entrecard member. As I have mentioned in my last post - I will be leaving Entrecard soon.

I will be removing my widget here 24 hours after I submitted this post. But just as I promised, I collected some members and subscribe to them. This is because I consider them as my blogger friends, not just because they have been kind to me but also of their good contents.

So with no further ado, here they are.

If you think I missed someone here but you think you deserve my subscription, you can reply here with the link to your homepage and I will check it out. I won’t mind having tons of mails as long as they have quality content and interesting topics. But then again, I am not offering a subscriber exchange.

But of course, I will be glad if you will also subscribe to me. However, I strongly suggest that you do it Father Blogger dot Com since it is my main blog.

With this, I would like to thank all the members who have supported me here all the way, especially those who subscribe to me lately. I may not remember all of youi, but I will still recognize you if our paths will cross again somewhere else within the blogosphere.

My gratitude also goes to those replied to my message, and still showed some support even after I declined their ads.

By the way, the widget on my other blog - Happy Family Matters is still alive maybe until 2 weeks after my ads will be posted. But definitely, I will not be accepting any more ads.

Good luck, Entrecarders!
