Real Prizes with RealRanks

So are you game? Well I love participating in contests but I guess I will have to sit out of this one as I am not a US resident :-(

Nevertheless, this is a good contest that you might actually win.

So if you would like to participate:

1. Register

2. Submit your blog.

3. Add a code snippet and you are now in the race to win that $ 1000 prize.

Now let me explain what this contest is all about.

The guys over at IZEA (who also own PayPerPost), have developed a tool that assigns ranks to blogs based on the actual traffic they receive and the buzz they generate in terms off backlinks from other blogs.

This is like an advance Alexa for bloggers, minus the bugs and the baseless Alexa ranks.

You will need to paste a javascript code for them to start tracking your stats and that is all you would need to do. However, you have a privacy option where you can choose what stats you would like to be publicly shown. If you are not comfortable sharing your traffic stats in the open, then you could only select the option where your RealRank is displayed. To get things going, they are also giving away $1000 for each week in February for the blog with the #1 RealRank.

You can read all the details here: Contest Rules

The RealRank algorithm weights blogs as follows: seventy percent (70%) on daily unique visitors, twenty percent (20%) on daily active inbound links and ten percent (10%) on daily page views as reported by IZEA Toolkit.

Just a few tips:

* Register right away as the next week’s tracking starts from tomorrow

* Link to your participating blog from your other blogs or ask your friends to link back to you

* Time to write a few neat posts and stumble it

* Go geek and submit a tech inclined post to Digg

As the more prominent bloggers are not in the picture at the moment (this is a relatively new tool), you could well be the one to win this contest.

As far as I am concerned, I will be sulking around for some time :-(

I will feature more contests in the future, hope you enjoy them as much as I do

p.s. If you are conducting any kind of contest, wherein, webmasters can participate, remember to drop me a note and I will be more than happy to blog about it.
