If you want people to read your blog, then you have to promote yourself, and whatever form it takes, it all comes down to advertising yourself. The best form of advertising comes down to getting linked from a high page ranked site, and even better if that link is part of an in-depth review, as is so clearly evidenced by the success of ReviewMe and other similar companies.

Well now you can win yourself $350 worth of free advertising, including links and a review from Ben at Binary Moon, which carries a hefty page rank of 7, and is well worth winning. Ben, who was the winner of my recent RSS ad spot competition, is running this links competition, and as part of the overall $650 prize pot will offer the winners a Text Link spot worth $150 a month, with one top prize of a full ReviewMe style review currently worth $200. All entrants will receive a linkback in an end of competition round-up post.

So what do you have to do to win this prize? Simple really, in Ben’s own words:

To get your link on my (page rank 7) site you should write a short article on your blog (around 100-200 words) and link it to an article on my site (any article from the archives).

Once you’ve written your article just come back to this post and link to your article - that way I know you’re entering.

There you go, a short post linking to any of Ben’s posts could win you a prize that people can (and do) pay hundreds of dollars for. This will be my entry, don’t forget to do yours.

Closing date will be Midnight (GMT) on the 15th August. I would say good luck, but I wouldn’t mean it
