$50 Review Philaahzophy Contest Update

So far, this contest is definitely a bust. I’ve now read every review entered in the contest and, frankly, will be ashamed to give any of them a $25 bonus, not to mention the $50 prize itself. Remember, folx, the idea here is not to generate links, but to get feedback about Philaahzophy itself. I managed to get a PR of 3 without playing any “linking games” so I have no desire to start doing so now. I just want to hear what people think is good about my blog and what’s bad about it.

I suppose maybe I should have required a higher word count (although several entries didn’t even make the tiny 100 minimum I have in place now) . Or maybe people don’t believe that I’m looking for genuine criticism. PLEASE hurt my feelings! If I don’t identify what’s wrong here I can’t make it better. Yes, I understand giving a basic rundown of the site in order for your readers to know what you’re talking about, but that’s “buzz” not a “review”. I’m looking for input on the the good, the bad and the ugly.

For those who have already entered and not yet received your “Instant Win” prize, they’ll be going out this evening.

For those of you who haven’t entered yet, the door is wide open for that $25 “best review” prize! At this point it won’t take too much effort to take the cash home.
