This is a guest post for MonkeyBlogger by Breakaway from Link Building Bible, an ever-growing list of one way link building tips.

If you have a website or a blog, then there are two things that you should be concerned with:

1) Getting traffic
2) Getting to the top of search engines (for more traffic)

There are many ways to get traffic and backlinks to your site in order to increase your search engine rankings position. One of those ways is to sponsor someone’s contest.

There are always tons of contests going on throughout the many different blogs that there are online (and there are many!) Each of these contests needs prizes to be given away. Many times the owner of the blog that I hosting the contest is not rich enough (or is cheap) and doesn’t want to spend their own money to sponsor the blog, and if I was a blog owner, I probably wouldn’t want to spend thousands for a massive contest either. So, the blog owner looks to other people to donate prizes!

Here is where your opportunity comes. Why not sponsor a prize for the contest. You’ll get listed as a prize contributor with a backlink to your site, which can be one more backlink in your arsenal in the search engine rankings wars.

But, how many people constantly browse over the prizes list for a contest they are hoping to win! They see that you donated a cool prize, and they follow the link that is listed, and it brings them to your site. What a fantastic way to get people to your site. This is also a great way to promote an ebook that is related to the contest blog’s content. Many people will follow the link, want to win your ebook if it looks appealing, and then go on to buy it if they don’t win.

You don’t have to host your own contest (even though this is an even better way to get traffic and backlinks) but if you aren’t ready to start your own contest, then why not sponsor prizes on other people’s contests and get some great backlinks and most importantly traffic from all of the people viewing the prizes.

If you want to sponsor a contest right now, then head on over to MonkeyBlogger’s contact page and send them a note telling them what you’d like to sponsor!

Hey guys, that “something big” is none other than a blog launch contest!

This blog has done so great in it’s first week, with some posts topping 8,9, and 10 comments! That’s really great, and I really want a strong community here.

With the launch of this blog is coming a contest! Now, I know that there are many many contests coming up and ending, as well as ones just ended, but this one will be something special, I can promise that.

Winning The Web’s Contest ended up with $14,575 in prizes, and yes, I am going to strive to beat that. I know it will not be easy, almost impossible! But I will do everything I humanly can. I just started looking for sponsors yesterday, and already the prize pool is over $1400, so we’re well on our way.

We are still looking for many many sponsors so do not feel shy!

What’s in it for me?

I know your probably asking yourself, “Why in the world should I donate a prize? How the heck does it benefit me? Well this is how!

You see, the contest really feeds on itself. The more prizes and value in the contest, the more people it attracts. The more people it attracts, the more prizes it gets. Also, when you donate a prize, you will get linkbacks in many posts here, and on every blog that posts about it, as posting about the contest with a full prize list will be one of the ways to gain points. So it really is a win-win situation for everyone!

What are you waiting for?

Well, what are you waiting for!? Swing on over to the contact page and drop us a “vine” and sponsor a prize! You know you want to.
