There’s a surge in a new kind of niche blogs, those keeping track of contests where you can easily participate to win great prizes. All you should be doing for such contest would be to either write a review(tell some simple things you like or don’t about the site) or really simple tasks like commenting,etc and you’re a participant which might get you to win great prizes. Really keeping track of those contests isn’t easy using Technorati and other blog search utility like Yan described in the post, Do you know the easiest way to win free stuffs on the net?

I’ve been recently contacted by Walt, Blog Contest owner who told me about his blog :

The purpose of the Blog Contest is to give bloggers a place to announce their original contests to the widest possible audience, to give you a one-stop-shop to discover new blog contests, and to give you a resource that will provide content for your site as you’re entering contests that interest you and your visitors.

When I first got on the site, I went directly to see the articles about the contests, and I was really pleased since they followed a particular format that allowed me to scan a contest’s details in seconds. Most of the posts would come with the title and link to the blog hosting the contest, the prize to win, details on how to enter and to win and when does the contest ends. Simple as this without bothering you with reading loads of information.

You can also easily navigate among past contests according to the type(reviews, leave a comment to win something or prize type to win, etc) through the category listing on the sidebar. So everything is setup for you to find things easily and quickly. No need to scourge around endlessly.

Also you shouldn’t miss reading the quick section on why you should be running contest(see John Chow’s post on the subject too). The blog is providing an enticing deal since anyone who submits details about a contests at Blog Contest enters a draw that can get him $50. Even someone who isn’t actually holding the contest, so the importance is telling about a contest you found out that isn’t yet featured on blog contest.

You’ve got everything to win at Blog Contest, Walt even pays you $50 if you’re subscribing to his feeds, yes you enter automatically into a secret feed contest if you subscribe to his feeds. And you shouldn’t really miss the opportunity of winning the $100 that he’s willing to offer to anyone to review Blog Contest before the 12th July. You still have some days to go so make sure not to miss such grand opportunity.

In the like, Andrea Micheloni has also launched contest tracker. More contests, more chances for you to win.

Walt also keeps track of another great site, Sweet Site of the Day which delivers you new site everyday telling you what’s cool about it. Make sure to check that too since it really deserves the ride.

Needless to say, I think that’s a great content source for new bloggers who could be using this to provide content on their blog, harness their reviewing skills and in return if they are lucky, breaking the jackpot earning good money/prizes in return. It might be better to participate into such contests to earn money rather depending on reviewing services such as ReviewMe,SponsoredReviews,PayPerPost,etc since there advertisers really pay small amount for reviews. It’s only the big bloggers who can really grab the good opportunities since they are higher on the listings. Don’t you agree with me on that part?
