		<description>WarriorBlog, I&#039;m pretty sure there aren&#039;t PDF versions of those books.  Here is my response to your numbered replies:

1. I&#039;m not sure how that would tie into the contest? It&#039;s somewhat of a good idea, but it seems irrelevant to what were trying to do here. Just looking for contest ideas right now.

2. That sounds like a good idea, but what would establish the winner? The most stumbles etc. I suppose, but that&#039;s borderline spamming and could get my blog banned by SU and/or other social sites. It is a thought that crossed my mind though.

3. Great idea and one I&#039;ve considered as well.

4. I had never even seen these types of blogs until the commentor above posted that. I&#039;ll have to look into other similar blogs.

Thanks</description>

		<description>I would prefer PDF over a real book but anyway here&#039;s my idea:

1. I would entice the readers to comment by rewarding them. Best by offering to stumble their blog.

I think you should give a little more benefits by describing those prizes a little more in dept because I certainly didn&#039;t want to enter upon reading what you were giving away.

2. You should require them to stumble your blog and even bookmark it.

3. You could set up a rule that the first person to get the 50th(or whatever you want) comments win.

I don&#039;t think many will create a post for you because of past experience and notice it on other blogs unless you&#039;re really popular and huge prize.

4. Ask them to link to you in any of their post, in anyway.

You could inform those &quot;contest blog&quot; about this and do a post on their blog about it, probably cost $20-50. I don&#039;t recommend it though.

Thats really all I can think of because you really can&#039;t expect to get a huge traffic increase from this. Anyone have a better idea?</description>

		<description>Hi,
I see you are running a contest.  You might want to visit the blog on my link.  You can submit your contest for free, in your own words by visiting the link.  I am actually advertising with Adwords so you should get decent traffic from this initiative, plus a link to your blog!
thanks,
C Fernandes</description>
