JUST PUT YOUR HEAD IN THIS LITTLE NOOSE... As part of my King of the Blogs Judge duties, I am to review the answers to this week's Host's Challenge Question: ************ We all know flattery works, well it does at the King of the Blog Tournament also. Your job is to write an advertising piece that includes reasons to visit each of the judges and the host, and why you feel as King of the Blogs you can help them each get more hits and readers. Also pointing out why your worthy adversaries are not able to do this would be advised. ************ The entrants' answers can be found here. These are simply my reviews. I'm omitting the scores to increase the suspense. ChristWeb Good points: Managed to link everyone once and made some promises. Probably trustworthy to deliver on them, being Christiany & all. Bad points: Only 1 link per judge. Didn't mention blogger names. Gave no compelling reason to click the links. Text was dryer than a Bob Dole campaign speech. Please review my "How to Drive Traffic" post. Walking Stick Good points: Egotistical with bouts of moderate insanity Bad points: Where's my link? Wolf Who Sends Flowers Good points: Extra points for creativity above and beyond the call of duty. Links galore, and ass-kissing the likes of which usually runs me about $50. Sweet & tasty. Obviously did a LOT of homework for this post. Bad points: None visible. Well, Foxgirl did forget to include naked pictures, but that's a non-deductible offense. Smarter Cop Good points: I'm a sucker for poetry. A lot of thoughtful, creative effort went into this one. Nice finesse on working Evangelical Outpost's hyperpolysyllabic name into the poem. Bad points: Some forced rhymes & a few awkward rhythms, but not too bad, considering the material. Had the misfortune of having to compete against Foxy's epic. Vigilance Matters (Current King of the Blogs) Good points: Cocky, annoying arrogance. Always a plus in a monarch. Good effort on keeping with a theme - nice storytelling and/or butt-kissing Bad points: I'm still not sure how my bloody death at the hands of the Yahoo-ite barbarians will increase my site traffic. Dodgeblogium Good points: Answered the question Bad points: Only answered the question. No style points here. Reads like an autopsy report, albeit a polite one. And as a general comment to all entrants, I'm surprised no one thought to link individual entries on the judges' blogs, thereby demonstrating the entrant's traffic-driving abilities. posted by Harvey at 3:05:30 PM  permalink    Crappy Broken Radio Comments (do not use) [] trackback []  HOME
