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.

  • Trying To Forget Poem - Trying To Forget by Matthew Henrickson Already in too deep Faced with your secrets to keep I knew what it was before we started Too good to be true and soon parted Showing me a feeling I forgot The comfort I desperately sought I lost it so long ago, I forgot how it felt Being [...]
  • Lost and Found Poem - Lost and Found by Matthew Henrickson You looked into my eyes You looked into my soul You saw what was there The pain I’ve buried so deep You gave me what you could Maybe it was what I needed And you left in the night Because you were never mine to keep You let me [...]
  • Messed Up In The Head Alexandra Govere Lyrics - If you watched the last episode of the real world you heard this song and probably liked it. After doing a search I found her Youtube channel, but no lyrics posted! Below I think I am pretty close to the song. I also included the Youtube video at the end. Messed Up In The Head [...]
