So You Think You Can Blog Engage Me?!

by on December 17, 2009

The competition is so high, and it’s getting worse every day finding articles to vote for them, people are voting and commenting everywhere at BlogEngage social network. It’s almost 07:30 am here, and I didn’t sleep yet since last night, and all members think they can Blog Engage me?!

Someone is going up so fast!

With my eyes open, I am watching BlogEngage votes, waiting for this moment since 2 weeks back, and they are doing it now! Alison of Win With 1 blog and Brad of The Christian Entrepreneur, they are going up so fast, they are accelerating BlogEngage to the max speed. I am still on the top of voters, and they have to vote for couple of thousands of posts so they can catch me, and you know what? I think we will spend the final night in this year blogging and voting ;) I want to say welcome guys I was waiting for you to show up!

Brian has a great contest on BlogEngage, I am also sponsoring this contests, I am sponsoring three contests this month, I actually don’t know how many contests I am sponsoring this month, so if I am sponsoring your contest then you should email me, tel, remind me about it ;) naahh .. just kidding!

I am not sure if I am going to win any prize yet, but after playing with the voting button for some time, and I realize now the real prize!

What is the real prize?

The real prize is to meet great people, I swear that I want to mention you all guys on this post, and I know that the internet is wide enough to have a room for each of us, but the time is the main challenge of humans!

Congratulations to Alison and Brad, and to me.. For winning the real prize from BlogEngage!

Wth all my respect I wrote this post just for fun!

You know?! I did this 2 days, it’s just a matter of weekend, 2 thousand votes everyday! but now it’s really getting harder because I can not find the more posts in an easy way! good luck next year LOL! and thanks for your nice comment, we are really having a great time.

My laptop overheated and permanently crashed over the weekend. It couldn’t keep up with Alison. ;)

I’m not sure I will make it to the obscenely high karma scores that you and Brian have obtained. Even if I caught up, you guys are way too active for me to stick with you.

Anyone looking for some extra Karma from ESP votes or just some submissions to vote on, I have about 4 pages of 4 to 6 vote submissions for which I’d love a vote.

Thanks for the mention!

Well, you should take care of this lap friend of yours, if my laptop got heated I will cry for it ;) I love the good spirit of competition and as I said before I think we all win already!

You know I’m sitting here reading this in my little glass office and I’m trying not to burst out in laughter because of how great your wrote this article Hesham. You have been such a dedicated member and I thank you for this.

I simply loved the humor and sportsmanship you displayed within this article and it’s exactly what I was hoping to see happen.

Looks like Karl from fmsseo.com has officially taken over the top prize for most voted on article and perhaps might be taking my 100USD

Good for him too with being new odd were against him but he built relationships voted for other bloggers and look what it might get him… 100 usd.

Great article Bro!

Like I said back in the BE universe, I didn’t even know I was competing! I’m just having fun with BE and enjoy being able to vote up other people and give them a boost. (Come on, it’s so cool to log into your blog and see votes!)

But, hey, I like competition! I’ve got six kids and we run three companies and I homeschool and it’s Christmas and I volunteer at church — so now that I’ve already shown you the really good reasons why I can’t possibly win this thing, I’ll just say good luck to all!

I feel like I’ve just been accused of sniping in eBay! ;D

This is great thing to know about you and your family, I hope you can win this contest, so let’s see how thing are going to be, What I like here is the competition as well, and I am sure it’s not going to be our last one ;)

Alison,

Looks like the reply button is broken. I just want to say blah, blah, blah. I might have to stay up tonight scouring for submissions to vote on just to catch up with you now. ;)

In all seriousness, it is pretty cool to see posts that people have poured their hard work into be published. It is almost impossible to get it to happen at a site like Digg, but that is what makes Blog Engage so great.

Thanks for all the votes you have put in. I know I appreciate your votes, and I am sure many other bloggers do too.

Warmest regards to you both and the entire BE community.

Don’t give up! Nobody could de-throne you! I do BlogEngage, but I admit that I can’t quite wrap my tiny little brain around how it works. What are “blogs” vs “published blogs”? Don’t we just submit and vote on posts? Someday I’ll get it straight!

@Heather Kephart, I was not giving up at the moment of writing this post, but Alison & Brian has made it and they break me down ;) I unfortunately so very busy now to be voting all day and night!

the published is what’s on the main page, it means those ones are promoted because they got more than 7 votes!

The blogs is what people are submitting but it still not getting enough votes to be published on the main page!

I hope this help you to understand the mechanism!

Trying to get myself to that list would be a long and steep climb…

But my real reason for signing up for Blog Engage is to engage with other bloggers and that in itself is the real prize.

The fact I’m here (again) reading how you get distracted easily shows me I have a similar complaint. lol

I am glad to read about blog engage, and to hear the positive comments about the sense of community that others have posted here. I have at least on blog community that I get nothing out of, so I think it’s time for a new one.

At less than 1800 votes, I will never catch up, I rarely have time to read and vote on more than 4-5 articles per day though.
