Contest Live is a great contest resource site for those very reasons. I built the website with Pligg, but didn’t have time to maintain it properly with all of the other projects I had going on.

Contest Live also has an active contest blog where there are more contests a bit more indepth. There are also easy ways to get your contest featured on the blog as well as paying a small fee of $2.

Pligg is a great platform to use for a website, but it isn’t quite as customizable as Wordpress. Along with setting up Wordpress for you, I could also install Pligg at a fee.

We write about different blogs in the blogosphere, great contests, and Wordpress. It is a multi-author blog that is open to quality bloggers, with quality blogs and quality articles.

Blog about your Blog (BAYB) was founded in Nov 2006 by myself. I started out on blogspot and gained quite a few bloggers on the team. Working with Lee we were able to move the blog to Wordpress and it’s own domain. BAYB was basically my learning tool with blogging and I have evolved as a blogger as well as a webmaster.

BAYB has grown to nearly 700 RSS feed readers with great reader support. The alexa score on the blog has now gone well under 100,000 to 76,000. Unfortunately Google has put BAYB down to a PR2 from once a PR4.

  • Unique Ad Campaigns – Thinking Outside the Box - Advertising is only as good as your ad. You target your ad for your audience whether it’s banner, commercial, radio, video, or social media. With an ad that fails, your campaign fails as well. That forces companies, businesses, and bloggers to ‘think outside the box’. One thing for me was the idea of contests and giveaways [...]
  • Grow Your Blog by Working With PR - Contests really took over the blogosphere when I was getting started. By being able to offer different items for free, it made the appeal of your site that much better. It also really gave visitors to COME BACK and a way to grow your numbers daily. Just by hosting contests on your website you could require [...]
  • Protect your Blog from Getting Hacked - Hacking is a commonly used term and generally it refers to the process when an unauthorized person modifies a program or changes configuration settings in order to gain access to data or files he or she is not allowed to access. Hacking is one of the worst things that can happen to a web master. Even [...]
  • Why Networking with Other Bloggers is Important - Too many bloggers view other bloggers as their competition. They have the mentality that it’s one against the world, so they never reach out to other bloggers. This is a dangerous mistake. Sure, other blogs are technically your competition, but networking with the right bloggers can yield numerous benefits. Why? Because with a large network, you [...]
  • Free $75 Google Adwords Credit - This offer has ended. I’ve never really been able to master the art of Google Adwords. There are certain ways that you should use Adwords, but I’ve never been able to really get into it. However like most things, it takes practice. What better to practice with that FREE money? I have a great offer where you [...]

I also have different song lyrics as they are their own form of poetry. It may not make a lot of money, but I know it’s touched a lot of people. I have been able to share my poetry with people as well as post submitted poetry. This website is an example of my passion for love, people, and life.

    I have famous poetry from Jimmy Santiago Baca, Antwone Fisher, and Tupac Shakur. There are lyrics from artists like Brianna Taylor, Maroon 5 and Leona Lewis.

  • Dreams and Nightmares - I had to share this one, I love it! “I have had dreams, and I’ve had nightmares. I overcame the nightmares because of my dreams.” ~Jonas Salk
  • Same Old Me - Same Old Me My mind is scrambled Nothing makes sense The letters written down don’t make words The feelings are too tense My body tightens A belt around my heart Almost ready to explode in my chest… Just to get some rest. Squeezing out my soul Dripping out of my brain While my thoughts Slowly [...]
  • Our Unclear Future - Our Unclear Future Why would you want me… When I don’t even want to be around myself? Too messed up to even figure out what is wrong My mind is dry My heart is broken My throat is shy I regret what is spoken. Our future unclear I know this isn’t right But in the [...]
  • Keep Dreaming - Keep Dreaming I don’t want to sleep I don’t want to dream I don’t want to see your face… Every time I close my eyes. Even if you are sleeping next to me… You are still in my dreams. by Matthew Henrickson
