Sorry, but the contest title is being changed to Friends 73 and it will be for 73 days instead of 100 days. 

Arti

Your lucky number is 1 no :P

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

My lucky number isn't one. Here is the list of my lucky numbers:

3, 4, 7, 34, 347 (Two and three digit numbers too Smile)

Arti
from Mumbai |

Oooo... 73 and 100 both add up to 1 coincidently!

Arti
from Mumbai |

So why that particular number, 73.. why not 74 or 78?

Okies.

Arti

I am wondering why arent you doing this here and not on your blog?

Arti
from Mumbai |

Correction *arent = are

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

My blog isn't well established and the number of visitors I get is not very large. But still, I would like to try out new things in the field of blogging, marketing and event management. indiBlogger is a good platform for it. After all, the purpose of IndiBlogger is to help each other and learn new things. Smile

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

And, talking about contests on my blog; I do have some plans but the budget is really huge and it can be done only when I would start earning. You can expect a contest on my blog after.... six yaers. Smile

Hope that you would be participating then. Smile

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

... And a selfish motive too: People may click on my profile to see the one organising it. :-)

Arti
from Mumbai |

Frankly speaking, even if your loyal reader number is 1, I think that person deserves this prize more than anyone here. And this contest on your blog, though may be only a small step, but really can help you go a long way. Thats how I feel..

Arti
from Mumbai |

+5 for your honesty :D

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Thank you Arti

Arti
from Mumbai |

And ya expect me to participate in 6 years time if I am still blogging!!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

What makes you think that you wouldn't be blogging?

Okies. SmileSmileSmile

Ranjith

Need atleast three more people to sponsor ad space (even a text link will do)

Link to your IndiBlogger profile would be inserted in the main thread of 'Friends 73'

Arti
from Mumbai |

Date is changed now, i see and so is the number, 34 :O

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I have changed it again and this is going to be the final. I am talking about the number 34 instead of 73. However, the starting date would be either the 23rd of this month or the 9 th of the next month.

No more changes.

And regarding helping the winner promote his/her posts, I wonder if anyone will be doing so. 

The ad space sponsoring would be there if atleast 4 other blogger accept to provide it.

The virtual gift would be compulsorily given.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

The number was changed to 73 to 34 as I felt that organising it for such lengthy duration might not be possible. Everyone might get bored. However, the 34 questions that would be asked will definitely appeal to everyone.

Arti
from Mumbai |

I will promote, I think all who participate should.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I too will promote and it is upto the participants whether they promote or not.

DS
from Mumbai |

Btw what is the meaning of friends 34? Before it was 73, if am correct!
Explain yourself clearly, everything seems a mystery to me!!!
Waiting for the contest to begin:)

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Yes, it was 73 earlier and not it has been changed to 34. The number represents the number of questions that the contest would contain. The numbers have no significance from the contestants point of view but they are important to me in my own way. 

Hope that everything is clear. :-)

The contest would start on one of these dates: 23rd of July or 9th of August. 

Arti
from Mumbai |

WOWOW!!! Indiblogger has a new forum hero, the youngest one i believe,

RANJITH Smile

...Making his debut with a 1000 odd replies and innumerable forum threads Innocent

Congrats! Way to go, boy Cool

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Thank you Arti Smile

Youngest in terms of ___________?

Arti
from Mumbai |

Oh, come on! Tell me, what do you think, i mean Wink

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I think that you meant youngest in terms of age as well as the time duration spent on IndiBlogger (around one month)

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

.... Happy to see my name there. Smile

Wow! I just noticed that ! Congratz Ranjith !

Mayur
from goa |

I had volunteered to sponsor ad space but i think it was declined. I know my blog is not popular and the blog topic is diffrerent but i just want to make sure it was not a mistake

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

@ Mayur It is not yet confirmed. It surely wasn't a mistake. Will add all ad space sponsorers at once into the list. And, popularity doesn't matter. If someone else would have organised a similar contest, I definitely wouldn't have sponsored the ad space. This was the actual reason: I have seen you only occassionally on the forum. (I'm new too) So, I could not undersatnd if it was a one time visit or you visit IB frequently. Please add me to your network so that further communications can be made via IndiMail. I have added you to my network. Your ad space sponsorship is accepted. :-)

DS
from Mumbai |

Well its August 10 already...
But then keeping with Indibloggers tradition of contests never starting (read posts displayed) on time you are doing a good job Ranjith :-P :-P
On a serious note, waiting for this to begin!!!

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Thank you DS :-)

The contest will start on 23rd and here is the contest thread.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

I thought that everything would go on smoothly but many problems have come in the way. And also there is a major chnage: Instead of posting a new question everyday, a set of questions will be asked every 3-4 days.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Hope that my answer has satisfied you. You are free to demand a more lengthier explanation. :-)

DS
from Mumbai |

No no! The contest is starting, thats the big thing...
Lets Play:)

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

Definitely..... Smile

DS

So let us begin the game, waiting for your Quiz, Puzzle and G K questions. Please try to link it eventually to your blog from FORUM, otherwise the entire excercise will be futile from building your brand

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

:-) :-) :-)

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

The first set of questions have been posted

CAT Mentor
from Bangalore |

Dear Ranjith,

Can we know when would the 4th set of questions be released? :Smile

I have not got a chance to answer any of the question for which points are given only to the one person whoever answers it first. Frown

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

@ CAT Mentor Released today 8th Sep

But there are many other questions which you can answer and get much more points than what are offered for those questions which credited points only to the first answerer.

Ranjith
from hyderabad |

The remaining set of questions 5th 6th and 7th would be opinions and not quiz quiestions. So you can answer them at your own pace.

CAT Mentor

Thanks Ranjith!
