Hi! I'm Allen and I welcome you to my blog. I blog mainly about my blogging experiences where I get to learn how to earn money online through blogging and have fun doing so. To learn more about my blog, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. If you have some questions, feel free to ask me by using my contact form. Thank and have a nice day.

Yesterday, I read at Karlo’s blog about his new gimmick which is the Search for the Pinoy Blog of the Month for October. Of course, seeing that this would be an opportunity to increase my blog traffic if I manage to win, I joined the contest.

Joining the contest

Actually, it’s easy to join the contest. Just contact Karlo and tell him about your blog, add up a badge and hope that your readers will vote for you.

Why you should join this contest?

• Traffic - Even if you just joined in this contest, you can leech off some traffic from Karlo.PinoyBlogero’s blog since he is going to link up the nominees for the contest. Now imagine what would happen if you win that contest? That’s right, more traffic! ^_^
• Prices for the blogger - Karlo made sure that the winner will be really feel like a winner with his prizes. Prizes include a customized blog header, a permalink from PinoyBlogero and more to be added (I wonder what are the other prizes that Karlo will think up?)
• Prizes for the voters - This is why, my dear readers, that you should vote (of course for me haha) because even the voters has prizes to win. As of posting, the prize is a 512MB Kingston Data Traveler USB.

Concerned Question: Will this be just another popularity contest where the blog who already has more exposure and readers gets more votes than the new blogs?

The answer is NO. This is the problem with some of the contest where the number of votes you get is based on how popular you already are. In this contest, Karlo made sure that this won’t happen (turn into a popularity contest). In order to win the contest, you will have to score high in two aspects:

• Votes - the more votes you get, the higher your score. This will account to 40% of your final score
• Judges’ Rating - This is the solution to the question. The judges will rate your blog depending on your content and not on how popular you are. I don’t know who the judges are so don’t ask me.

Hmm that’s the only question that popped into my mind about the contest and I’m glad the answer can be found in Karlo’s contest guidelines. So now, what are you waiting for? For bloggers, join the contest… and for voters, start voting.. for me! haha

The contest will start on October 16! Mark you calendars. ^_^
