A few weeks ago we sat in our office and brainstormed on ways we could give our members a hand in their blogging efforts. We knocked all sorts of ideas around, the new blog-themed email signature being one of the ones that we chose, but our favorite idea was holding a contest that would 1-benefit everyone who participated and 2-give out a barrel-full of problogger-themed goodness.
::Robyn climbs up on her soapbox:: So, without further ado, I give you THE MYBLOGLOG PROBLOGGER CONTEST!
The rules are pretty simple. The community that grows the most, in their gross total, from now to November 30, 2007, will win. You can see the full list of legalese here. The winner will be announced live from the floor of PubCon in Las Vegas by me and Ian. We’ll also sprinkle them liberally all over the site.
::Robyn begins Oscar acceptance speech:: I’d like to thank the sponsors, who without their freebies (yes, they all donated these), we could not offer you such cool prizes. Our sponsors:
SEOMoz
Yahoo! Search Marketing
Designs By RS
Yaro Stark
SOBCon 2008
Now, get over to the contest and register your blog. You can keep up to date with who is in the lead here at the leaderboard, and you can see your own place, if you are not in the top 100, within the Edit Profile section of your Profile on MyBlogLog. Good luck! We’re rooting for you.

How Does The Contest Work?
The Official Rules are the last word on the contest, so please read them. But here are the highlights. We’re looking for vibrant, rapid-growing communities – that benefits you and us. As such, in this contest, community owners will compete against each other to see who can grow their community the most between November 8 – 30.
This page will display the top finalists in the days leading up to the winner. Stay tuned to see how your community is faring, but remember that all results are UNOFFICIAL until the winner is verified by the judges. The winner will be announced from the floor of PUBCon 2007 in Las Vegas on December 5, and will also be announced on our blog. You can grab the blog’s feed here or sign up for email updates at the blog.
1. The promotion is open to U.S. residents who are 16 or older, and is void where prohibited by law. You can register any time during the period that the contest is open. If you register after the contest starts, your growth will still be measured from the first day of the contest to the last day.
2. The full eligibility requirements are in the Official Rules. In particular, though, no sponsors or employees of sponsors, including Yahoo!, are eligible to win. If you’re ineligible, you’re welcome to participate for fun (i.e. to see how your community ranks against others in the contest).
3. Only valid joins will be counted. If any entrant is found creating multiple accounts in order to inflate their sign-ups, or in any way attempting to game the system, that entrant will be disqualified from the contest.
