Hi Mendel,

Glad you're sending it around to your friends, best to be forewarned!

Your website is quite professional. It links to a blogspot blog, however, which lowers your credibility somewhat. If you want to move to WordPress, combining everything, check out our WP install services.

Thanks so much for putting this article up, bloggers really need to be careful with these contests. Creative Junkie has some great advise, only participate in contests that don't require a lot out of you, at least to keep yourself safe. I'll be sending this post around, thanks again!

Will definitely keep visiting again for sure. And yeah, I was being a tad facetious about my blogging ability I'm don't think I am anything that spectacular but I know I don't suck at it! He he. Thanks for following my blog as well, I noticed we already are following each other on twitter (quite possibly how I stumbled onto your blog in the first place) Again, I am glad I did. Have a great day.

At some point you take a stand on spammers/fraud and say 'enough is enough.' We have a post scheduled for next week about clueless spammers like this one — they do deserve more exposure.

The best compliments come from the "conceited" — they know talent first hand! (LOL). Based on a quick look at your design skills I can say that your opinion of yourself is not 'unduly' high; but saying so is a great way to give a compliment! I'm speechless! Thanks for your eloquent comment and expression of appreciation. Keep visiting our blog!

Ha ha! Good for you for being real and standing up for honesty in the "blogosphere.'

Thank you, it is these tactics that really need to be brought to light. How pathetic, I mean, we all want traffic, but if you have to resort to posting generic comments just to get your link out there, your site/content must really suck.

But then again, we are talking about "spammers" here, which by definition are frauds whose content is bogus.

And in the scheme of things, such elaborate blogging scams like the contest you experienced, can only be likened to scams on the street perpetrated by low-life's and thugs. It's criminal; they do not fit in with the rest of the blogging society and make up the web's seedy underbelly.

I have been spending quite a bit of time on your blog, really enjoying your articles. You are really a talented blogger, the honesty and integrity alone is beneficial to bloggers and the blogosphere in general. And I'm pretty concieted, I think I am a pretty good blogger myself, I don't hand out compliments everyday.

Keep on doing what you do, glad I stumbled onto your blog, will definitely be a return visitor.

Have a great day. ~Lauren

Well, I'm not sure which post you read, but this one is not advocating using contest fraud as a business 'module'! I see you're an internet marketer but you need to do better, preferably somewhere else. I removed the url link which is basically a one page directory i.e. not a blog. Leaving your comment as a warning for other blog owners.
