September Contest: Winners Announced
News and Updates at Site Sketch 101
Congratulations to our winners of September’s Crazy for Comments Contest and thank you to everyone who played and contributed to this growing online community. I’m very grateful to everyone.
Our crazy for comments Contest was a huge success. Site Sketch 101 literally had thousands of comments during the month of September. I was so surprised when users began pushing past 100…and then 200…300…and even 400 comments in just 1 month. This is absolutely amazing.
If you name is on that list in the image at the top of this post then be sure to contact me right away using the contact page with your paypal address or your mailing address. If I have to mail it to you, I will deduct shipping from the total. Contact me right away so that I can get your money to you immediately.
Pay Attention: The next contest will have even more money and more prizes and it launches in just twelve hours. At noon (EST) I’ll be announcing the next wave of giveaways at Site Sketch 101. Don’t miss it. It’s going to be better than ever.

ZXT said:

Congrats to the contest winners!
Looking forward to reading all about the next contest.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Dave Doolin –> Less than four hours until it launches. Maybe it’s wishful thinking but I think that this will be my biggest contest yet.
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews said:

ZXT said:
Congrats to Ron for a job well done!!!
To Arisu for making a comeback from 5th on the last few days of the contest. To Andrew as well for making the contest more exciting.
And to Nick of course for a successful contest.
Could you give us the total comments for September Nick?
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
ZXT –> I look back through them later on and try to figure out how many we had altogether. I usually post all my monthly stats on the 14th of each month also since I launched the site on June 14th that is my way of measuring each month.
George Serradinho said:
Congrats to the winners, they sure are very active on your site. Can’t believe the numbers they are reaching.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
George Serradinho –> I couldn’t believe it either. I’m just excited and grateful for everyone’s participation.
Casey Brazeal said:
Great Contest Nick. I know it is part of the reason I got to respond to almost a hundred comments on my most recent guest post.
Also, thanks so much for all your help to my site. The more I look at that new logo you designed the happier I am about it.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Casey Brazeal –> Hey Bro, you need to start using your new URL in your comments so we go straight to the new site. Let’s show that site off, man.
Andrew said:
WoW! The new site is up and running. Awesome!
Casey, I noticed you don’t have all your links and other data point to your site.
Make sure you do an address change in your Google webmaster tools as well as yahoo.
Arisu said:
Wow, I won -now my addiction to coffee is covered for 2 weeks! -XD And yeah, not knowing who could win make the contest definitely more exciting! Also, with all those comments I finally learned to write d-e-f-i-n-i-t-e-l-y, and found new blogging friends ^^
Congrats to Ron and Zee. Thanks to Zee and Akira for the nice chats. Thanks to Andrew for all that we learned from him.
And a BIG thank you to Nick, for launching the contest, for replying to so many comments and for having such an amazing blog.
akira07 said:
Thanks for your apreciation of my comment. I have a good chat also with you. You’re great
Arisu said:
You too!
And let´s hope everybody will stay around to keep chatting together ^^
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Arisu –> It really seems like they are so far!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Arisu –> You’re welcome and thank you for your avid participation. You are the reason that this contest was so much fun and exciting! Be sure to shoot me an email with your paypal information so that I can pay you right away. And congratulations!
Arisu said:
I think we all made the contest so awesome! I really had a lot of fun reading and responding to all those comments… I can´t believe I wrote almost 400!
And I don´t even want to think how many you wrote, my fingers hurt just to think about it.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Arisu –> I wonder how many I did write. I’m really curious. Oh well. I’m still so thankful for all of you that jumped in and helped make this place feel like a real community.
ZXT said:
See all of us here are winners! 2.5 hours to go for another contest!
Arisu said:
Oh, but we knew that already! We´re all winners and we´re all awesome!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Arisu –> That’s exactly right! You all are awesome!
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews said:
That’s some amazing participation Nick. I really love the community around here.. A lot of the big sites have a bunch of people posting comments, but few actually interacting with others; I love how this contest encouraged the interaction among readers. Brilliant!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews –> I think that creating a sense of belonging is incredibly important to help grow blogs. I want people to feel like they can ask questions and leave their ideas here. I want it to be a place of open discussion.
Ruchi said:
Congrats for the winners, and really a huge no. of comments.
Judith said:
Congrats to the winners!
Unlike other sites that hold comment contents you three actually provide great comments!
And then Nick does a most excellent job of tying everything together!
I’ll never be in the top ranks — just not enough time in the day. But when I do have time, this is the first place I check out!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Judith, your comment means so much to me. I sure appreciate you and your feedback.
Mukund said:
Congrats to all those winners! Hope even I stayed in that list of top 10!!
akira07 said:
Hope the winner still commenting even there is no comment contest. Anyway, i think top commentator should activated again
Andrew said:
Congratulations to the winners.
Next time I guest post I’ll have to make sure there are no comment contests happening.
It took some effort to keep up with it all.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Andrew –> Ha ha. I bet it did. I know that you had over 100 comments on some of them.
