BOTB is usually known as Battle of the Bands, but in the case of blogs, it’s Battle of the Blogs. Blogexplosion has always got some sneaky ideas up its sleeves to promote its site as well as help bloggers generate traffic, in a fun and entertaining way. I tried battling my blog yesterday, got some challenges and all, won some and lose some. It was really kinda fun and exciting when you’re battling out with someone.
Here’s how it looks during a battle.
You’d need at least 10 credits which you can get from either surfing people’s blogs or playing Blog rocket. Then you gamble your 10 credits by joining BOTB, and wait for someone to challenge you. Vice versa you can challenge somebody else who put up their blog for a duel. Anyways, once up it takes nine votes before the winner is announced. People can’t just vote anyhow, they are required to visit your blog first before deciding. All in all, everyone gets a piece of the meat, in terms of traffic. So if you win, you get 75% of what was gambled, if you offered 10 credits, the total would be 20 credits including of your opponent’s. So you will get 15 credits in return, while the 25% will be divided among those who voted.
This is really fun if you’re bored to death in the office. See you at the battle.
