Nice idea. Twitter become more an more important for traffic. Will you publish the tweet statistics after the contest?
Cheers,
Studenten!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Studenten –> I’ll be publishing the tweet statistics each week throughout the contest.
Seth W said:
Looks to be a fun contest. Consider this article tweeted!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Seth W –> Thanks Seth. And good luck to you.
Arisu said:
Uh, I retweet your articles most of the time, but I´m affraid not many people see them … and that sucks… Mmm, anyway, if you think someone may want a logo for their blog you can count me as a sponsor.
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews said:
I would love a logo.
Nick and I talked for a while yesterday about some of my sight design.. A logo would be really helpful.. In other words… be a sponsor! 
Arisu said:
It´s cool for me, let´s see if Nick is ok with that!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews –> I think that it’s a great idea.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Arisu –> I’ll definitely add you to the list of sponsors. Thanks!
Arisu said:
My pleasure
The more the merrier, right? Specially when it comes to prizes ^^
Jeff B. said:
What an interesting contest. Good luck to all, and may the best tweeter win!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Jeff B. –> ha ha. Yes. May the best tweeter win!
David said:
This is going to be fun. Count me in.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
David –> I hope that it will be fun. Good luck!
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews said:
I knew it! Something told me yesterday that this contest would be about tweeting
lol
I’m really excited to see how much this page takes off from this tweet contest. I look forward to hearing your results!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews –> I’m really excited also. I think that this concept has huge potential.
Luke Wieselmann said:
Competitions are a great way to get your site promoted. Using twitter is a great way; it’s easy to monitor (if they have unprotected updates) and a lot of the people on twitter would be interested in your content too, compared to other mediums.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Luke Wieselmann –> I agree. I actually get a pretty strong amount of traffic from twitter and I hope that this really helps to grow that.
Ron Boracay said:
Wow, this will be a fun and exciting game.
Oh Nick, should we use hashtags or @mention for you to be able to track our tweets?
Thansk!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Ron Boracay –> No. As long as your statuses aren’t protected then they should be able to be detected by the software that I’m using. It even detects all the links through url shorteners.
Andre Arnett said:
This seems like an interesting contest. I will tweet your articles and get involved. Would love to win, wish me luck.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Andre Arnett –> I do. I wish you the best of luck.
Bruce Teague said:
This should be another great promoter for your blog. The amount of comments you generated last month was insane. I can’t imagine what the retweets will be like with those great prizes.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Bruce Teague –> I can’t imagine either and I’m very excited already about it’s progress after just one day.
akira07 said:
It’s so easy, i will surely participate. But i have a question, so the entries is limited, right?
Let’s say there is a 20 article, so max entries can be collected is 20, right?
Arisu said:
I don´t think so, Akira. The post says “You may tweet articles as many times as you’d like” – but it´s up to you, cause you can lose followers and of course, be eliminated if you do spam.
akira07 said:
Ok then i have a question, what is defined as “spam”, we should make detail rules about it, f.e max tweet 3/days
Anyway, how can nick know my entry? Should we copy tweet url and send it to nick when the contest nearly end?
Why i not see my tweet in recent article tweets?
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Arisu –> Exactly right, Arisu. Don’t destroy your own twitter credibility by spamming people.
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews said:
I was actually curious if any weight would be added regarding the number of followers? Should someone with 20,000 followers to get the same credit as someone with 10? Either way, it’s going to be very successful!
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Blake @ Props Blog Reviews –> I don’t have any way of tracking that without breaking myself. I have a system set up that tracks up links to the site and that’s it. I wish that I could do something like that.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
akira07 –> There is no limit. However, if someone goes off and starts spamming then I will not allow them in. I don’t have a specific number for spamming but an example is that on the first day someone sent me an email with a list of their tweets that they had tweeted. There were like 50 tweets in an hour. Unfortunately he is no longer in the contest. I want people to win so I’m not going to be excessive. But I’m sure you see how he is hurting his own credibility by shooting that many out that fast and he’s not helping me any because they will just get lost in the twittersphere. Tweet 2 or 3 links and then go read some articles or leave some comments. Then later on tweet a couple more. Don’t spam. That’s the only thing.
akira07 said:
Wait..so,we should write our tweet and recapitulate it and then send it to your mail in the end of month? Or all is done by tracking system?
Jeff B. said:
It is all done by the automated tracking service he is using. That will make it easy for both us and him. No need to keep track of it yourself. Good luck!
Ruchi said:
This looks to be a awesome contest. count me in.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Ruchi –> Thanks so much and good luck to you.
akira07 said:
Ok just to play safe and if it’s needed, i think i need to post my twitter ID. My ID is : akira07
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
akira07 –> You all don’t have to post twitter id’s on here. I’m not going to write them down or anything. I’m using an automated service to track links to the site from twitter. It even tracks url shortening.
George Passwater said:
Wonderful contest! I just tweeted this article. Great stuff on here. I just added the feed to my Google reader. Oh my Twitter id is: GRPasswater. Hope to be connecting with you more
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
George Passwater –> Absolutely! I hope to connect with you more as well.
akira07 said:
Sorry to asking again, because i don’t understand some point. Is tweeting article can be done by simply clicking re-tweet button on this blog?
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
akira07 –> Yes. That’s correct.
Eric B. said:
This contest is a bit too late. I’ve been tweeting every post pretty much ever since I started reading your blog
It’s great that you chose Fanurio as a prize, because it supports multiple operating systems, unlike the prizes offered in most contests.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Eric B. –> Well now you have the opportunity to get rewarded for something that you already do. It doesn’t get much better than that.
Chris Cline said:
This will be fun…
Good luck everyone…
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
Chris Cline –> Thanks and good luck to you!
ZXT said:
I think my previous reply got lost somewhere.
So we can justs click on the re tweet button and your software will do all the work and counting?
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
ZXT –> Yes. That’s correct. And I will be posting more information this Tuesday that will provide information on how to ensure that your tweets are being counted. Some get caught in the spam filter of the company that’s tracking them, but they are super good about approving them if you ask them to. So I’ll show you exactly how to do that tomorrow.
ZXT said:
Hi Nick, maybe I missed it but did you post what software you are using and how you are tracking our Tweets? I know you just been paid $150 for the hijacking of your blog but I am not sure if I just missed your post.
Nicholas Z. Cardot said:
ZXT –> Sure. I had put together a post explaining the process, but it disappeared in the smoke of this last explosion that I just experienced. I’ll put together another one and explain how you all can track your entries and make sure that they are getting counted. I’ll have that up this weekend. It’s way too much for one comment.
Reza Winandar said:
Hi Nick, you are using your money for your blog and blog for earning money, right? I hope I have money to promote my blog.
Sat Chen said:
This is a really nice idea. Good luck
ZXT said:
Nick I just blogged your contest, hopefully we can get more participants.
