Thanks to Jacinta for introducing the blogosphere to the 100 Blog Comments Challenge. In the short amount of time that it had happened, it became a big hit among all the bloggers who were willing to share their thoughts, time and even knowledge with one another. Not only that, the challenge was so helpful, it benefit those who participated in several ways:
- boosted their rankings
- build relationships and motivated each other
- educated one with new ways to think about the online business
As I pounded my way towards reading each post, I couldn’t help but eyed the freebies and in-depth documentation by subscribing to the mailing list, browsing the other pages or looking through the archives. Just from taking the time to learn more about the blogger, you can see where they are coming from. Furthermore, what products they are providing and the incentives they are willing to give away.
Besides, most of us know that it’s always the incentives that drives us in. On a marketing perspective, it’s the back end sales which we strive for. If you look back, readers of this blog knows it’s one of the reasons why I build the e-library in the first place. However, let’s consider the time spent so far to get to know each new blogger.
I think it’s worth one step further to read what they got to say about their chosen topic. With that, I present to you the gems of the 100 Blog Comments Challenge which has been compiled to showcase and show appreciation for all that has been hard at work. This series will be broken down into 4 parts so you can enjoy it in spurts rather than all at once.
UPDATE: You can now catch Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4.

Hi Thu,
Wow! What a list! You have certainly found some gems in the challenge!
This is such a breath of fresh air right now as I have just been dealing with some negative reviews about the challenge and how people thought it a waste of time!
Thank you for showing me the positive side to the challenge again!

Hi Jacinta,
I’m glad you found the gems wonderful as it’s the most I can give back to the challengers. Besides, I’ve been meaning to write this since the finish. Thanks so much for dropping by and also for sharing your thoughts on the concept. I think it’s going to be a regular every other month. So thank you for the idea and I hope you don’t mind me borrowing it!
Talk to you soon!
Hi Thu,
Thanks for the recognition. What a smart lady you are…this is a fabulous post and a great way to honor those who participated in this challenge.
There is no doubt in my mind that you are one of the “gems.” and a blogger I will be paying attention to.
It is plain to see that you are a “giver.”…

Hi Kathy,
Thank you for the kind words. As I mentioned to Jacinta, I’ve been meaning to do this and the time was better now than later as it is a task which needs time. Thus, I’m sure the participants will find that there are also much more content that is worth exploring. Thank you once again for your support and please do keep in touch!
Hi Thu, thanks for the mention, what a ride the 100 comment challenge has been. I’ve learned and have gotten some good insight into many different topics and have made some good connections.
Your blog is jammed packed with some very good resources. I will be visiting often.

Hi Steve,
Yes, there’s a lot here but I think it’s about time I introduced some backlinking posts as your Sunday Selections have been great at showing me this. Thus, this series will continue every other month with new bloggers on the list. So do stick around! Thanks so much for your support.

Hey Thu!
Well you certainly took the diamonds from the rough- that’s bloody good to see.

I have looked at this challenge from a negative point of view (granted it didn’t go down too well with some people) but I am stoked that you have shown the good side of it – because between you and me there was a LOT more good to come from the experience than there was bad. (bad sells better though
Thanks for taking the time to put this together – will link to it in the update I give re: the last Jerry Springer show, I mean post.

Haha,
Jerry Springer, you?! No, I believe we all took this challenge in our best interests. You’re entitled to your thoughts and I to mine. As I published this post, I was unaware of yours. So it’s coincidental. Glad you liked it and by far, dude you are rocking the comments. I bow down!
Hi Thu, I’m waiting for your name to appear in the list…lol..Anyway thanks for sharing this list. I’m happy to see the name of John Mcnally. I’m fond of reading his blog.

Hi Thu, I’ve been trying to get here for the past week and at long last have made it…..breathless but got here ha ha.
Thank you for including me on your list of gems, very much appreciated.
It’s good to see that so many completed the challenge, but a little shocking that so called newbies put in more effort and commitment than established bloggers that call themselves gurus, many of which didn’t finish the challenge.
Hope all’s well, catch up again soon

It is really a disadvantage for link builders like us that most of them now use that no follow tag. Anyway, there are lot of strategies available now that we can use as an alternative for blog commenting.
