The blogosphere is the perfect place to hold competitions and contests. With multiple promotional and learning benefits to each, there’s no shortage of them running at any given time. So, with today’s blog love I want to tell you about two places to get yourself involved.

Daily Blog Tips is holding the first ever Blogging Idol. Better than American Idol, you’ll have your shot to actually get involved in this competition.

Limited to only bloggers who have less than 1,00 RSS Subscribers, the competition will have sponsors so you’ll have your chance to win a great prize. The goal? Market and promote your blog to get the highest number of RSS subscribers in a given period of time. Each blogger will also compile what they’re doing to reach goals. The point isn’t to cheat the system but to genuinely learn to promote your blog, increase interest, and thus increase RSS subscribers.

With enough applications to join the competition the anticipation start date is June 23rd. And of course, yours truly will be taking part in the competition!

Over at Dat Money, Jay is hosting a contest sponsored by Market Leverage.

The prizes include an iPod Nano, $200 ML Rewards Gift Card, ML Flip Mino, or ML USB Pen. So head on over to Jay’s site, soak up his great posts and enter in the contest to win one of these great prizes.

Your Turn

Both of these contests are a great way for Jay and Daniel to promote their blogs. What are your feelings about contests? Do you like them, do you think they’re useful, and do you enter into any contests hoping to win? Share your thoughts on this type of blog promotion…
