As promised, the results for the Bloggerfocus "Guess My Blog Traffic" contest:

1st Prize of 500 Entrecard credits and 5000 Beer Credits goes to Meehoon of Fark.my

2nd Prize of 350 Entrecard credits and 3500 Beer Credits goes to BobbyT of Bobbytoat.blogspot.com

3rd Prize : No takers

Since only two comments were made for this contest, both commentors automatically won themselves the first and second prize. Although this contest drew little response from the readers (perhaps due to the unattractive prizes on offer), I'm still happy to receive comments it. For the winners, do claim your prizes by e-mailing me at sksee82@yahoo.com

Since the third prize of 150 Entrecard credits and 1500 Beer Credits has got no takers, I'm gonna award it to the 8th person that leaves a comment here. In fact I'm also throwing in a blog review from Bloggerfocus Dot Com to the 8th person who comment here!

Cheers and happy blogging to all!

Bloggerfocus Comments:
Offering cash each month to a lucky winner in return for permanent links is a great way to boost their(ContestBlogger) Page Rank. The logic of Google's Page Rank is rather simple. Generally the more links you have pointing to your blog, the higher your blog is ranked. A quick check on ContestBlogger Dot Com Page Rank shows them sitting comfortably on PR5. By the way, blog rankings at Technorati work the same way as well.

Considering the fact that majority of blogs (both yours and mine) already have loads of outgoing links to other blogs, I doubt its going to hurt by adding another link to ContestBlogger. As for Bloggerfocus Dot Com, this post itself would serve as an entry for the contest.

Till the next post, cheers and happy blogging to all!
