Top Blogs Could Win $1000 in February

You read that right, once a week through the month of February IZEA Ranks is going to give away $1000 to the blog that ranks #1 in their ranking system. The IZEA Ranks site is great, you can check out the top one hundred blogs, add a new blog, and perform a rank search for your blog. I check out my rank and I'm up in the 1800's, I probably won't win a grand this year :(

One of the features that I really enjoyed playing with was the time line graph of blog rankings. It is set by default on the top blogs, but IZEA Ranks gives you the ability to customize the graph to view your rankings at various periods throughout your blogging history. For instance, my blog was at one point close to the 1000 threshold and after I had a bit of inactivity the Futon Blog dipped down around 2500. But some constant posting and a little nurturing brought my blog back up into the 1800's. Now I can see what works and what is a waist of time by comparing what I had been doing at the time by checking my rankings. Pretty cool.

So, now bloggers have another great tool to check their Blog Ranks, and maybe even win one thousand dollars. The contest itself is easy, everyone who is signed up with IZEA Ranks is entered. All bloggers have to worry about is posting on their blogs and increasing their rankings. If you're doing a good job, well, you may be surprised with some cold hard cash.
