Contest Time Again
My good friend Jeff Buzz, just recently won our Itunes Giveaway and i remeber that as soon as entries were closed for that contest, more people wanted to take part.
Well i say, lets give the people what they want.
So here is our new contest.
To make it a bit more open it’s all about the points.
On May 16th we are officially launching this blog and so on that day the person with the most points wins…….(Drumroll please)
First Place Gets
- 2000 EC CREDITS
- $100.00 BY PAYPAL
Second Place gets
- 1000 EC CREDITS
- $50.OO BY PAYPAL
Third Place gets
- 500 EC CREDITS
Now, how do you earn points might you ask?
Well it’s simple.
- 200 points for posting a commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles
- 100 points for posting a commuter experience or review of commuter chronicles oh your blog with a link back to here
- 100 points for a second post on this site about a commuter experience (two post maximum will be counted)
- 100 points if your post on here crosses 20 comments
- 50 points for a second post on your blog
- 40 points for a blogroll link (drop me a comment on this post to let me know you added me to your roll)
- 30 points for each time you make 10 comments on this site (and 1 point for each comment – in other words you get 1 point each time you comment and an extra 30 point at each 10 comment interval)
- 20 points for subscribing to the rss feed
- 2 points each time you drop a card on the blog.
So there it is.
I have tried to do it in a way that even those who don’t post on my blog have a fighting chance.
Again on May 16th i will annouce the winner. All past winner can still take part.
Good luck
p.s. if you want to sponsor and add more prizes feel free to contact me.

Hi, I added you to my blogroll, and I am commenting here. http://www.giveawaycity.blogspot.com
sorry to be a bit ignorant but is this contest limited only US citizens. And to write about the commuter experience, can I write about commuters in different places for example the tube in London or the Metro in Moscow?
Hey Peanut, welcome, and the contest (as a matter of fact the entire site) is international. As long as you have any commuting experience, be it the drive on the way to work, the tube, riding your bike through Amsterdam, or climbing Mt Everest.
Just as long as it’s about moving from one point to another.
blogged about a commuter experience in my blog!
included commuter chronicles in my blogroll!

Count me in: http://www.darngoodreviews.com/contest-at-commuter-chronicles/
I want to make a post on my commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles but I do not know where to submit it.
Oh, I already found where.. Sorry…
I have done my first post here (200 points) and it already has reached 20 comments (100 points).
I have also added Commuter Chronicles in my blogroll (40 points) and subcribed (20 points).
…I have 7 comments including this one. (1 point each). Hopefully, I can have 10 comments to earn additional points.
And, oh… I dropped an entrecard but I do not know how many. Can you check how many entrecards have I dropped here?
So, overall, I have 367 points!
and an additional 100 points for my second post here! a total of 467 points. If get 20 comments, do I also earn 100 points?
Oh, also reached 10 comments… hmmm…
good going pweng, yes you do get the extra points for the comments
I am confused. I want to ask something regarding the options to gain points for this contest.
It is said that I can post a commuter experience OR review of Commuter Chronicles on my blog and a second post on my blog. Hmm…I can just make two posts or, one post per blog? What if I make a post on a commuter experience and another on a review? Does this earn me more points?
I am also confused which post will reach 20 comments will earn additional points.
And oh, can you check how many times have I dropped a card on your blog? I just want to clear thing up so that I can gain more points because I really want to win this contest.
Thanks!
I just made a review on my blog. A Commuter’s Life
I have subscribed!!!
Also, I would like to know how many points have I made… based on your calculations. Thanks!
ok pweng bee, let me see how well i can cover all your questions.
on your blog you can make as many posts or reviews as you choose but i only count two of each (one experience and one review for the 100 points each and one experience and one review at 50 points for the second post) the other posts as long as they have links back to my site, should give you trackbacks/pingbacks that will show up on my site and count as a comment for you. Also it might just halp with getting more of your visitors on your site to come comment here on your posts.
you make the extra points for each group of 10 comments. So if you reach 10 comments you get the points, when you get to 20 comments you get more and it goes on.
and i have will check on your drops for you.
Okay. Now ,I get it but I will read this again later for further under understanding. Thanks raymondm!
Here’s a commuter experience posted on my blog.
One Way or Another
I added you in my contests page too.
oh, you forgot something raymondm… its my question about the posts i made here. If the second post crosses 20 comments? does it count too?
wow.. that is a lot of points that i need to keep up to if i’m still interested in winning.. Lol.. anyway.. good luck!
raymondm, hi.. i posted a post up and is waiting for your review. I’m not sure it is ok or feed your site or not.. Please tell me if it is not and I can write something else.
well, we really don’t know who has the most points but I am keeping a list of my points to keep me making more entries.
There are some rules on this contest that I don’t fully understand but Im trying my best to go with it.
I will be posting an update after this contest to congratulate whoever wins this contest.
I added Commuter Chronicles in my other blog’s blogroll. I hope this counts.
Pweng’s World
now, lets see.. i think im the only one here that’s so eager to win this contest… hahah… well, at least i got the chance to be one of the contributors of this site.
Well it’s a toss up between Pweng Bee and Peanut as the two top people so far.
I have a few people who emailed me and ask for me to extend the contest for another 2 weeks to give them more time to try to catch up.
But that’s a question that Peanut and Pweng Bee will have to answer.
If you two don’t mind adding more time for others to try to catch up with you, i’ll do it.
I want to be fair to those who have been in this since the beginning.
Hmmm… Let me see… There are also some contests I found that I was too late to join… especially for contests like these. But, if Peanut will not mind, I won’t either.
As long as they can catch up with us… (that i hope they will not, i am sorry to say this but I think there’s no more time)
My vote is for Pweng Bee to win it. I’ve just had too many updates for every…single…comment made by Pweng Bee. I know these are the rules to earn more points, but this will teach me not to subscribe to posts with this requirement.
I do wish you all luck though!
RaymondM? I have added Commuter Chronicles again in one of my rolls. Does this count too? Thanks! -(feed the virus)
Can you email me for a list of my points so that I can compare it with mine?
wack...@yahoo.com
Thanks!
Thanks Mark.I am so sorry for annoying you with my comments.
At least,they are not useless comments.
and after this contest, i will try my best to be a part of this blog!
I think this is the best contest I ever joined.
Hello hello hello….its me again…. i just checked on my comment on another contest if it has already been approved, and it already has… what’s the catch? I recommended Commuter Chronicles to the participants.
-(jackie’s birthday bonanza)
I clicked one of your ads.
raymondm,
I don’t really mind actually.. it is just for fun =)
Ok, so here is what i am going to do.
i am extending the contest until June 11th, which is my birthday BTW, and everyone will get more time to enter.
As an incentive to Pweng Bee and Peanut, they will now get an extra way to earn points.
I will give 50 points for each person that you refer to make a “post” on this site.
So what that means is simply that if you tell someone about the contest/site and they come and post an experience on here, then you get 50 points because they posted. You just need to let them know that at the end of their post they have to say that they were referred to here by you.

Another month! Cool! Thanks for the incentive.
advance happy birthday to you….
Again…. Can you please email me for a list of my points so that I can compare it with mine?
wack...@yahoo.com
I forgot to post about this contest in my blog. So, here it is….
as you can see, my blog indexes the latest blogging contests that i am joining…
Hapy Mother’s Day!
raymondm, i haven’t received any email from you about my points yet….
hi raymondm, thanks for the update. but you forgot something on my points list.
If you go over my comments here I mentioned that I have added a link in my blogroll of my 3 blogs to here.
What a wonderful contest
Yep… this is not like the usual blogging contest
Have a nice day everyone!
I might join soon
Hello guys. how are you? its been while i haven’t checked in…
Why don’t we greet WordPress a happy, happy birthday!
WordPress Turns 5!
WordPress deserves to be thanked for all the help that it had given us.
tried to leave a comment here but it doesn’t pop up as usual.. here is my second post about for this contest in my blog. the link is
http://streamlin.blogspot.com/2008/05/help-inflation.html
have a look!
Hi, i’ve submitted a post, i was wondering if you received it?
I just read your post riyanne… Are you a Filipino?
Wow! I just made my 100th comment!
raymondm,
by the way, the link that I summited on the buzz post, can i tell my friend to submit it for me and earn myself a 50 points? hehe..
I submitted a post, I hope it gets accepted
I think there should be a round up of the top 3 participants of this contest.
and oh… raymondm, can you send me again the complete details of my points….
you forgot something when you send me a list of my points before…
Added you in my blogroll
subscribed through RSS and added to blogroll
yo raymond,
happy birthday dude.. wish you a properous year ahead..
I was too busy cleaning and I forgot about the contest. Ha! Ha!
Does this mean I can not make more entries?
Happy Birthday Raymond!
Any plans for your birthday?
Just added COMMUTER CHRONICLES in the blogroll of one of my blogs.
CRAP BLOG
and here…. piyoz
Maybe Raymond is too busy for his birthday today but I hope he will be able to keep track of everything…
…because when I asked him about my points, he forgot something to add for my entires…
relax.. today is raymond’s birthday
Yup, it’s his birthday
Probably he’s having a blast with his family.
i know… im just leaving a note so that he won’t forget… goodluck to everyone… whew!
Hi Guys thanks for the birthday greetings.
As to the contest, it ends at 12 midnight EST or 12 midnight New York time, so you have until then.
We will announce the winners on Monday June 16th.
So last few hours people. Good Luck.
Ok. thanks for the info. happy birthday~
wow! so happy my post were accepted. tnx
interesting contest it is.
No offense but I think Riyanne must be disqualified.
Because Raymond said that…
“As an incentive to Pweng Bee and Peanut, they will now get an extra way to earn points. I will give 50 points for each person that you refer to make a “post” on this site.”
It’s for PWENG BEE and PEANUT only…
I hope you’ll realize that….
The latest posts are mostly stated that is it referred by Riyanne.
I cannot imagine that all those posts are approved for publishing here at COMMUTER CHRONICLES at the same day. If you noticed, this blog is updated at least every other day. Why is it that posts from her referrals are approved all at once even she is not eligible for making that kind of entry? I really smell something fishy here.
I was given a privilege to make additional points but I did not refer anyone. Riyanne just joined this month. I agreed to extend this contest as long as everyone follow the rules.
Riyanne is like a computer virus or a spam in your mailbox…
I hope Raymond will look on this or else I will investigate further…
Her blog will be a month old this Saturday…. compared to my blogs, I have been blogging for 4 months… I think she just started to blog because of this contest.
her blog has no pr too
I am just concerned for the blog’s reputation and for others who have waited so long for this contest to end… and to others who made unlawful ways to make entries… Everyone should be treated fairly.
Please Raymond, I am really confused and disappointed that you allowed such things to happen. Of course, I want to hear your story… and don’t forget to send me a copy of my points so that I can check it with my list.
it is your responsibility as the blog owner to monitor the participants of this contest especially their entries and if they follow the contest rules.
i have patiently waited for this contest to end and i hope it will end peacefully without any disputes or misunderstandings.
I don’t care anymore if I win this contest or not, as long justice will be served and all my questions are answered…
I also noticed that comments on Riyanne’s posts or referred posts are mostly done by her. Not a very good tactic.
My posts here have unique commentators coming from all over, not just by myself.
I hope the winners of this contest are really deserving to win.
again good luck toeveryone
