Blain,

Yeah that is probably true. It does make the community far more enjoyable, and I do think that it would certainly help you in retaining visitors and making them into frequent readers.

This is good. I like your idea for the winners. I want to be in first 3. I want to win because I want more friends from all over the world. More comments = more talking = better contacts=more friends .

That is a good question Aaron. To be honest I don’t think so, it really isn’t a traffic builder but more so a community value builder if that makes sense. The top commentator list may have only 1 or 2 new faces each month on it so really it is taken advantage of by those who are already been readers for a long while. I do every month as a way to thank my daily readers (you guys) and to build better relationships with you. More comments = more talking = better contacts.

Looks like some more good prizes for this month’s contest. It seems like the comment contests have been very helpful for this site. Blain, do you think a good amount of growth can be traced to the contests?
