		<description>@Ajith,

Seems like you have not realized what you have gained or the hard work of running that contest has just overwhelmed you. 

You have already impressed me and I am not a person to get easily impressed. :)

Wait till the contest is over and winners start writing about it. You would have got at least 5 completely organic link.</description>

		<description>Hey man,
Thanks a lot for your compliments and picking this case study to write about. I am truly overwhelmed :)

However, there are learnings for me as well. For example, I did not market enough. Usually blog contests need to be marketed very well in advance via blog-contest specific sites as well. Secondly, for the hard work I put in, there&#039;s not much returns :lol: Sometimes, one needs to be selfish as well.

Nevertheless, I got to connect with a lot of people, sponsors and there&#039;s a slight increase in traffic/readership as well. But I tell you, it is tiring!

Thanks a lot again...</description>
