Nepali Blog Awards

Update

Having many gmail accounts is a problem. I forgot the gmail id with which I created this blog. Tried a lot, but couldn't and accidentally logged in today!

Though this seems to have already lost charisma now, I'll still try running this.

The winner(s) of October will be announced on Sunday this week. It will be on the basis of original content, and easy navigation.

Whether this award holds any value for you is up to you to decide. It's not required of anyone to put a link back to this blog. If you want, you can still link back though.

Can't promise any real prizes for this month. If the competition starts getting better, there might be some, but they won't be that significant!

Good luck everyone. A review of the winner blog will also be published here.

And, people who asked not to consider their blogs for the competition will be acceded to.

Blog Review - Aakarpost

2008-09-26T06:43:00.000-07:00

As part of our efforts to have more interaction among Nepali bloggers, we have come up with the first review of the blog, which participated in our blog, and linked back to us. Today we are reviewing Aakarpost - a blog run by a Nepali youth under the pen-name Aakar. His real name is Anil P. Ghimire. He also runs several blogs under the title "Aakar Blogs Network".

Aakar Post is a blog that primarily features articles in Nepali - Devnagari Script - though you shouldn't be surprised at some English posts you might come across there. Most of the articles deal with the different aspects of the Nepali society - politics, literature, music, videos, audios and most of the current ongoings in Nepal. He also has his personal stuffs on the blog. For eg. his artworks.

The blog seems to have quite a following from the Nepali diaspora. Currently Clustrmaps reveals that the blog has around 50 visits each day. Started in August of 2007, the blog already has amassed more than 11,000 views. We hope, if you're a Nepali, you have already visited this blog.

The blog has also done a great job in publishing different links of importance to the Nepalese. It has links of many of the currently active blogs. The blog also features a significant amount of articles from guest writers - most of which are a good read.

Our advise the blog to improve a bit on the designing aspects. For a blog that features serious thoughts the blinking logo looks a bit childlish. The template is good, and Aakar has done a good job in organizing widgets around his blog.

We wish him the best in his blogging career.

And, don't forget to visit his blog. AAKAR POST

Dear friends,

Our site is nothing without your cooperation. Help us expand this site. Put a link back to our site from yours.

Every blog that wins any of the titles will also be reviewed and published in our blog.

Nepali Blog Directory

2008-09-25T23:36:00.000-07:00

Howdy?

We are also on the process of building a Nepali Bloggers Directory. Every submission that will be reviewed by us, will also be automatically included in the directory. The directory will be updated after 50 entries have been emailed. So, hurry up and keep the emails coming.

The directory is under construction.

Thanks

Thanks for submitting your blog. Now that you've submitted your blog, make sure that you understand these things.

1). Add our link in your blog page. A text link will do. While reviewing your blog, we need to make sure that the possible winners will get some exposure. That's why.

2). Submit your blog only once. Extra submissions will not increase your chances of winning.

3). Your blog will also be added to our blog directory. A lot of current blog directories have links of inactive bloggers. Our directory will not entertain blogs that have been inactive for six-months.

4). Awards will also be given randomly to the blogs in our directory. The awards can be Entrecard credits, or similar prizes that will help expand your blog further.

We hope to make the best Nepali blog directory, and award the titles to help in the development of Nepali Blogs.

Welcome

Now that you're here, let me explain what this site is about.

It's about connecting Nepali bloggers. Sure, there have been sites that have acted as Nepali Bloggers directories for quite some time. But, there haven't been sites that have awarded Nepalese bloggers.

Nepali Blog Awards is a new step in this direction. The site comes up with different awards - Blog of the Week, and Blog of the Month, and Blog of the Year. If you win these awards, your site will be featured across all of our member's sites for specific times depending on which award you've won. To start with, we are beginning with Blog of the Week Award.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1). I am a half Nepali, can I participate?

You can participate as long as your blog deals with Nepal. If you're from Nepal, and have listed this in your blog, you can participate in this program - irrespective of if you write about Nepal. Even if you're not a Nepali, but the majority of your blog articles are on Nepal, you qualify for participation.

2). What are the benefits of getting the awards?

The awards help expose your blog to a wide audience of Nepali blogs. This will help generate traffic to your blog, and at the same time you can display the Award Image on your blog and link it to the specific post in this blog that declares you a winner. So you see, your blog's reputation among your visitors also goes high.

3). So, you've spoken a lot, but how do I participate, and how do I win?

It's really simple. You just fill out the contact form on this blog, and you'll be added to our "Now Contesting" Blog Post. Remember, you have to fill the Form for Every Week, or Month that you want to participate.

Also remember to put up an image link on your site that displays the Winner List. The image link will be available in the post where you sign up for the contest. We have to do this to help our winners get something they deserve.

For a few weeks, the winners will be choosen on the basis of the Votes. To avoid fraud, we've set up some security measures that you'll know after some time. If there are less votes then the winners will be chosen by us. We don't like doing this ourself, so please VOTE! Use your Rights.

4). Do you have specific dates to hand out the awards?

Yes, we do. The Weekly Awards for each week are awarded on Sundays. The Monthly Awards are awarded on the 2nd of the next month.

5). How many times can I go on winning? Are there restrictions?

For Blog of the Month and Blog of the Year Awards, you can go on winning until you get tired of participating.

For Blog of the Week Award, you will be asked to rest for a week if you win the award thrice consequitively. You can participate after a week of rest though. We doubt this will ever happen, but in case, this is to give maximum opportunities for other bloggers as well.
