Nice to see the contest is open for business – now we just have to blog about it and get everybody over here and vote, your pageviews for this month is going to skyrocket
But you deserve it!
May I suggest adding a title/alt tag to the images, so that when users are holding their mouse over the image, it will say the name of the site – or possible add a link (target=”_Blank”) on them so voters can visit the sites too?
I’d love to check out all the entrants but they’re not clickable.

Meanwhile, why don’t you add a link for each blog or the name of the blogs? It will be easy for my friends to vote.
And the option box is located above the picture and it looks little bit confusing one for selecting the blog.
My friend told me that he wrongly have voted for some other blog because of that confusion.
Can you adjust the sidebar for better placement of the option box along with the pictures?
[Reply]
Let’s start voting.
Putting up blog contest like this will let every blogger to return on this page.

Seems to be a lucrative contest. Recently I saw a similar photographic contest where you have to cast your votes to choose the winner. They had some live analytics of the votes and other features of the participants. Buddy, if you dont mind I would like to share my thoughts. Its better to stack the thumbnails horizontally in a separate page so that all the participants gets equal view from visitor. Dont mind, this is just what I feel.

I have managed to pick my favorite, but all these blogs are so nice! It was a tough decision, but no matter who wins, he deserves the awesome prizes that you are giving away!
I also like the idea mentioned above of making the blog pictures clickable. That would have made picking a little easier.

@blogrpro, klaus and shae.
I presume that Dan(Dankeller) is using Wp-Polls, which unfortunately doesn’t have the ability of adding links to a poll.
@Admin.
a small suggestion, it would be great if you could set ‘Sort Poll Answers By:’ in ‘Poll Options’ to ‘Random’
[Reply]
There are some of my favorite websites listed there and I wish I can vote multiple time, but I guess its not possible. SO I voted for one which deserve it from my point of view. While voting I have taken consideration if some points like
Quality of Blog posts
Frequency
Socializing
Commenting
May the best one win.

As far as making real money, that’s pretty rare. You have to have a lot of traffic to make significant advertising money. Most people don’t start a blog to make money; they just want to write or post things that interest them.

Just start one. Blogspot.com. People frequent random blogs to see who’s who and what they bring to the table. I’m not a blogger myself but I’ve got friends who are. Not sure how much they make though.
