Blog post contests have been around a while and are really
quite ingenious if you think about it. They help increase readership,
provide unique content and incoming links, all of which are great for search engine visibility.

I am competitive in nature and have been known to enter a contest from time to time, my latest being the blog contest held by The Talent Buzz.

Those of you who don't know of The Talent Buzz, it's a recruiting blog that provides trends, news, and information you can use. Topics include staffing, recruiting, employment, social media, social networking, and of course, jobs.

There are about a dozen entries, The winner will be the post that receives the highest number of visits. The prize, an 8GB Apple iPod touch.

My entry is entitled "Recruiter’s Digital Secrets - Exposed" and you can read it here.

Good Luck to Everyone Who Entered!
