Contest Corner in a Nutshell
Below please find some answers to some of the common misconceptions that have been going around and to some e mails i received

Why is the contest corner separate

It is kept separate because for the most part these are smaller sweeps many which can not be verified and would take up a lot of tine to do so

Are they all blogs

NO a lot of them are because that seems to be what is flooding the net right now however they are not solely blogs

Are they all books

NO there is a mix of everything

Are they all geared towards mothers

NO see above answer

Are they all small dollar prizes

Again you have a mix of everything

I do my best to weed out the duds, and ones that cause problems. I can not tell you the countless times a virus has tried to invade my computer or the system has been hung

Those i do not put the links on

I do not do a full description of every contest because frankly i spend a lot of time finding and posting these and would not have enough time to do so

I have no vested interested in anything I post nor am i affiliated with any of the sites

As for the month they are posted in, if a contest ends like the third of May it is posted in April to give you enough time to enter them. If it is after 5 days into the new month it usually goes there

Blogs are not for every one just like essays flash photo's etc are not for everyone.

Have fun with what is on the site that is what it is all about, if you do not like snails do not go to them if you do not like the corner do not go there if you do not like essays don't do them

There is enough out there for everyone's tastes and desires

I got a huge 20lb box from a bloggy that you posted. It's the type of vitamins that I will need once I finish this Vitamin D therapy and my readings are normal. Hopefully the treatment will work this time. There is a years supply as well as a bunch of other vitamin that the sponsor threw in. Thanks.

Just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work in putting these together in the Contest Corner -- most of my wins are books from contests that you have posted so I really appreciate it!

Thank you for all your hard work, Hasama.

I love entering sweeps and looking at websites I've never been to before.

Just one question for people that enter sweeps that aren't in the OLS listings. How do you keep track of what you've entered? I need a quick and easy method. Spreadsheet?

Hi there.

I'm sure it's a lot of work to go find and post all these.

One thing, if I may request it, maybe add just one thing to each post that's not a blog so those of us who don't do blog/comment sweeps can also use your listings?

I know I checked and the majority of your sweeps are blogs so I just assumed they all were.

Thanks,
Ted

You are so sweet to do that!

Thanks so much! I've won quite a few of the contests you have listed! One happens to be a great gift I am giving my cousin tomorrow for her birthday!

I know we aren't supposed to clog up your sticky with thank yous, so I wanted to thank you now!

You rock!

Thanks, Hasama. I have been entering your sweeps for several months and have won about $300 worth of stuff (books, candy, baby blanket, baby dress, etc.).
I really appreciate all the hard work!
