I will accept and link to all reviews, good or bad. I don’t intend to reward insincerity; instead I expect to reward honesty. Quite frankly, I don’t want praise if praise isn’t perceived; my ego doesn’t require it.

My website does, however, require review. I truly want to improve my website’s ability to be attractive and useful to visitors, as well as to better funnel tour sales. Therefore, I seek to make site improvements based on inputs I receive via this contest; it is these kinds of input that I will value most.

I value quality content, too. I also think that a blogger who values his or her own contribution to the blogosphere will actively engage in creating quality content. Each blogger who makes an effort toward winning this contest will get a linkback; the best will earn great wine.

I hope that your judging will be based on the quality of the content and not the quantity of the praise lauded upon you. I only say this because it puts reviewers into an ethical gray area of wanting to write a glowing review in order to win a case of wine. I hope you can clarify this point in an amendment to this point or in another post. Russ,
