The Link Bait Review
This is the third and last free review given in the Shylock Contest.
The Link Bait is a blog about ….. yes, you guessed it, it’s about contests. A bit of an unusual name for a contest blog, but if it works for them, who am I to argue.
For those that aren’t familiar with this type of blog, it’s a place where people can submit contests, they are then announced on the blog and people that are looking to win prizes or cash can find out about them and what they need to do to enter them.
It’s a good system, that helps give your contests more exposure, and I’ve used this system myself in the past in my first contest. I don’t know how much traffic The Link Bait gets, but they should be pretty well targeted if you’re in the make money online niche. They’re probably bloggers that are looking to enter contests and win prizes, so any contests announced there have a good chance of bringing at least a few extra people.
I’ve looked around at the way this blog works, and I can safely say that it’s a nice example of having a blog with minimum input from the owner.
There are three ways of submitting a contest:
- free submission (you write the contest announcement)
- featured contest written by you (you write the announcement and your contest stays in the sidebar for 1 month for extra exposure) - $5
- featured post written by the blog owner (he writes the announcement and the contest stays in the sidebar for 1 month) - $10
I love it. All he needs to do is accept the submissions from people that write the announcements themselves, and he only needs to write when someone wants a featured post, that he asks $10 to write. The blog runs on user generated content for the most part.
If you’re looking to make some extra cash or win some prizes, then December is probably the best month of the year for contests. Head over to The Link Bait and subscribe to receive the latest contests by RSS. Or, if you’re looking to start a contest yourself, you can submit it there as well, for some extra exposure.
