I was going to blog about Bloggeries because I have benefited from the forum, and because I enjoy myself in the forum. And I'm not asking for anything in return So if I happened to be one of the 4 winners, you may choose another person

How does that sound as a preliminary idea?
Asking people to blog about the forum seems pretty reasonable. And giving the winners some traffic in return is a nice prize, instead of the usual loot.

they usually work well for me, I usually have a prize like a purse or a memory stick.

I have one right now, giving away a beautiful handmade purse from 7Loaves (they 'sponsored' the contest by sending me the purse. I have had ALOT or good results with that one.

Another one I did was a free redesign of their wordpress theme, I got 56 backlinks from that two weeks long contest.

Coming up next is a 256 stick of memory that my husband bought for his computer- that didn't fit! :-)

And I have a lady that sells candles sending me a gift basket to sponsor another contest.

All in all, the better the 'prize' the better the results.

All of my contests can be entered by simply writing a post linking to the contest and the sponsor if there is one for that contest.

Hopefully that will help with coming up with ideas, and don't hesitate to ask someone to sponsor the contest, if you let them know they will get links back with every entry, it is WELL worth their time! :-)

Pretty cool you are getting free gifts to give away in contests. I agree that if a contest is to be fun, easy to participate in and evidently successful it really helps if the entries are easy to do such as a simple link and mention of the contest. Lots of contests I've seen asked for all sorts of ridiculous and borderline "greedy" requests.

definately Rob, I have seen those, like with mine, I make it super easy, they don't HAVE to blog about it to enter, they can get entries by stumbling, digging, posting, etc.
