A challenge initiated by two of my marketing buddies Steve King and Jacinta Dean. Join the fun and get favor with Google 
The goal is to get 100 or more comments on one designated blog post. Each person who participates designates what blog post is the “contest” one.
Anyone can join...so don’t be shy. Just drop a note to anyone on this list 100 Blog Comments of participating people and let someone know so you can be added to the list.
This is a fun exercise that can only help use to gain favor with Google and other search engines. Just think of all the nice bloggers you will meet along the way…to say nothing of what you may learn. I’ve never had even close to 100 comments on a blog post before so this should feel good
I am going to add a bit of a post script here on my thoughts on this 100 Comment challenge now that I have been into it for 3 weeks.
First thing I’d like to add is: I had no idea how much time and energy it took to gather 100 comments and to reciprocate those 100 comments on their blogs. Wow, this has kept me very busy this month!
I have gained a lot of knowledge navigating to these different blogs and reading what they offered. There have been so many niches covered that there certainly has been something for everyone!
Met some new friends and bloggers that I will be following because of their awesome content and the value they can add to my own business.
I do believe this has effected my getting comments on my other blog posts such as “Outsourcing to the Philippines….Your Questions Answered.” This is the second addition by Honey Amabelle…the outsourced worker/Admin from EasyOutsource who agreed to come aboard and answer any questions or concerns you may have about outsourcing to the Philippines.
There were so many questions that came through the first time that Honey posted for me “A Filipino’s Freelancers Thoughts on Outsourcing”… she came back and posted the second addition….answering all the questions asked in the comments from the first post she placed. She has agreed to come back as often as I need her to answer any questions or concerns you may have with your outsourcing projects.
Since this was such an important series of posts from Honey…in retrospect, I should have made it my entrance into this challenge. Honey not only answers your questions about outsourcing…but she does it from an outsourced workers point of view…giving us valuable information allowing us to “see” the point of view of the “other side” of the outsourcing equation.
If you are into outsourcing to the Philippines…or you are thinking of pursuing this (if you are working online you should be!) I believe you will gain a lot from reading Honey’s posts. The more we learn and understand about how our outsourced worker feels…the better we can work to make them happy and understand their needs. In the end…it all contributes to our success.
All in all this challenge has been a wonderful experience...even if it has been extremely time consuming! It has been worth it!

I’m with you that I had no idea how much time and energy it was going to take to participate in the 100 comment challenge. I joined in late so I am try to get to everyone’s blog by the end of August.
I did hop over and read both of Honey’s posts on Outsourcing. They were both really helpful. I have not outsourced anything yet but I do have plans to do so soon.
Good luck to you!

Hi Kathy,
I finally got here!
Now that we have all the challengers on board I am slowly getting around to everyone’s blogs. I definitely have my work cut out for me this week!! I am taking a table as I go to check up on how everyone is going!
Yes my bimbo comment was a good one! Although who knew on the work load! Oops on that one!
However the most humbling thing about this, is that somehow a bimbo comment has lead to 101 like minded people joining in to network and help each other out. No one is making money from this and there has been no ulterior motive and yet we have 101 people coming together. It is pretty amazing when you really think about it!
I wonder what I will think of for an encore???
Hope you are having fun despite the time involved. My hubby and bubba think my fingers are glued to the keyboard at the moment!
See you on the other side of the challenge!
Cheers
Jacinta

You know Pierrette & I are into Perfect Health all over the world.
How can we reach people in the Philippines?We are from Canada, different culture, different part of the world all together.

Hi Kathy, an excellent article! The 100 comment challenge is a challenge for sure! It’s been so exciting and positive that I hope we can all do it again with even greater success from such an awesome team. Be well, Steve D.
I agree that this challenge has been hard work – but fun too! I’m still working my way through the list and coming across some great bloggers I would never have met otherwise

Hi Kathy,
Great post! I was actually pondering the thought of outsourcing to the Philippines. I have found that there is so much to do with such little time! I truly believe I will be hiring someone in the Philippines in the very near future. I appreciate your post. The information that Ms. Honey Young provided was much appreciated. I will definitely keep all of the information that she shared in mind when deciding on wages. Thanks again!
Much Success,

Hi Kathy
I love the idea of the 100 Blog Challenge but I do find that I’am struggling with the time taken. I feel that if I’m going to comment I need to read the blog and make a comment that’s hopefully constructive. this takes me a bit of time.
I found your piece about outsourcing from the Philipines very timely as I’ve just started outsourcing. I used Elance and the results have been OK, not great, just OK.
When I put my next project out for tender I now have another valuable resource in easy Outsource.
Best regards
Doug
Hi Kathy,
Lovely to meet you through the 100 blog comment challenge.
You’re so right about the challenge being time consuming but worth every minute. I’ve met so many wonderful people and learn’t so much from all the various Blog post.
I’m loving the challenge
Michelle
Hi Kathy,
I find it amazing the tips you can pick up visiting other people’s blogs. The only downside with the challenge is that it is so time consuming and other work has to be put on to one side.

This has been a fun challenge buts o time consuming!! I get carried away reading all the posts on the blog – but have come across some very useful information in my blog hopping journey.
Good luck

Hi Kathy,
Isn’t this a wonderful challenge? It is time consuming for sure, but it’s definitely worth it and the benefits will be awesome!
Thanks for being you and have a great next few days completing the challenge!

Kathy,
With each comment author contributing 1 comment to 100 blogs that is 100 times 100 (=10,000) comments in 31 days. Add to that, a reply by the blogger for each comment and you get 20,000 comments in 31 days.
That translates to one new comment every 2 minutes (24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for a month) somewhere among those 100 blogs.
Whew, that is a marathon effort

Well said. This has been an incredibly rewarding experience even with the amount of time it has taken for me to complete it. Typically, I follow certain blogs in my niche and perhaps a few new ones now and then. With this exercise, I got to meet a 100 more and have learned something from each blogger. Thank you.
Stopped by on my 11th hour visit for the 100 comment challenge.
Best,

Hi Kathy
This is such a blessing. Access to 100 people who understand, and a resource to tons of useful tips, hints and opinions.
I’m meeting some great folks along the way, and fascinated by the different styles people create in.
If you’re up my way, skip the pots for now, and take a look at ‘Chaos’. the story of our dark night visitor.
Oh, and see if you can find Gerald – he’s a neighbour!!?

PS. There’s only one ad on my site, but -
It’s excellent, I use it myself, and it’s free!
The 5 minute video will explain, with no Opt in too.
I would get paid $3 if you use it, but you could do the same. Take a look.

I see you already reached your goal, i’m glad. I have no intention of getting in the race, i have a lot of work to do in other areas, comments don’t really come first to me.
But i figured i’d also leave you a comment here, just to pump up the numbers
Hi Laura….I agree that is quite a challenge. All I can do is push forward everyday…inching a little closer and hopefully I reach it! I’d even be happy with “almost. ” It’s really more about the experience and the opportunity to meet new people and explore new blogs!
Kathy
Hi Laura,
I agree…just keep pushing forward inch by inch until the goal is met
Good luck Laura…I am sure you’ll get there
