I'd advise anyone with a blog to sign up for the MyBlogLog contest. I doubt I have a chance in winning, but it seems the higher I rise in the standings, the more traffic I get to my blog.
It's a great way to get some traffic to your blog.
You can see the standings at the following link:

The numbers are the amount of new members you have signed up since November 1st. The contest ends at the end of the month. I am really not sure what the prizes are, but like I said, the traffic is good.
If you want to help me jump a little higher I will return the favor, just message me and I'll join your community also.
