    Day 2: 2007 Bloggers Tournament

    March 13th, 2007 - 15 Comments »

    Day 1 of the 2007 Bloggers Tournament included a couple of upsets with the help of some blogger campaigns on their respective blogs (here and here) against the “big boys”: #8 propstm.net took out #1 ShoeMoney.com by 5 votes, and #7 CareerRambings.com upended #2 StevePavlina.com by a whopping 17 votes. Wow. And, we also have a potential rematch of NetBusinessBlog.com versus the root of all evil, John Chow, who happens to be giving away a Nintendo Wii. (John’s contest is sponsored by 1234Pens.com. They make promotional pens.)

    While Day 1 voting attracted more comments than I’ve ever had, I’ve used pollburner.com to create some more official polls for Day 2, and they only allow 1 vote per IP address. HOWEVER, I’d still appreciate a comment from you…like “I voted” or “Derrich.com is so frikken awesome” or something. Be sure to vote below for both games for Day 2.

    VOTING FOR DAY 2 HAS ENDED. Please go vote for the finalists.

    Incentive
    If you are one of the bloggers remaining and you simply link to this post in one of your posts today and use anchor text that says “Vote for my blog at Derrich.com”, you will receive 5 extra votes, which I will add on to the final poll results. If you do a review (at least 100 words) of Derrich.com that includes 2 links to your favorite Derrich.com posts, I will award you with 10 extra votes.

    [...] Yesterday we were made aware of a funny and friendly competition between bloggers in an NCAA March Madness type of bracket set-up held by Derrich.  Career Ramblings was the number 7 seed playing against the 2nd seed and one of my favorite blogs, Steve Pavlina.  Thanks to your votes, we pulled off the upset!

    [...] Derrich.com is holding a Bloggers Tournament. Apparently, I am in it and I made it pass the first round. I’m up against Career Ramblings (who is offering help on your job application) in the second round. Since I don’t want to beat up on a girl, I recommend everyone vote for Jane. [...]

    [...] Game 6 featured the evil one himself, John Chow (#3) against the seemingly innocent #7 seed, CareerRambings.com. Both earned 5 bonus votes by linking to the Day 2 post, but John’s downfall may have come when he urged his readers to vote for Jane. And we thought he was evil…well, he’s still pretty evil. CareerRamblings.com edged JohnChow.com by 4 votes, 18-14. Nice. [...]
