International Blog Cup

Although we had a lot of troubles maintaining security of the voting process, we got a new winner of International Blog Cup. Congratulations to Blog Lirik Lagu who won the IBC competition this month.

You might already noticed that we introduced another security check before anyone can vote, by requesting to enter the code and protect the voting system from automated voting.

As it was already mentioned, in February we will have the first IBC with 64 instead of usual 32 participants. This means there will be a little bit less time for voting per round as we have to do an additional round of voting to get the winner.

I would also like to apologise to all people that were victims of automated voting. After the introduction of code checking system this problems should be gone now.

4th International Blog Cup is well under way, but we are already preparing everything for the 5th International Blog Cup. As you might have noticed, we have a large number of nominees this time. There will probably be 64 instead of 32 blog in the competition next month, so it should be very interesting.

Since we had an increased number of nominated blogs recently, only blogs showing a link to our site will be considered for entry to International Blog Cup!

We are only two full days into 4th International Blog Cup competition and it is starting to get very exciting already. We have some very tough pairings in the first round like CarloCab.com vs. DaneMorgan.com.

Here is a top 5 list by number of current votes (which does not mean much in a knock-out based competition, but anyway):

1. danemorgan.com (40 votes)

2. seomoz.org (39 votes)

3. carlocab.com (39 votes)

4. mattnutts.com (32 votes)

5. bestweekever.tv (29 votes)

A little bit surprisingly, bestweekever.tv is leading against the big johnchow.com who didn’t start the engine yet as it looks like

However, there is still enough time to turn the things around!
