451 Press publishes more than 300 blogs and gets over 7 million visitors each month. The blogs are spread across 29 channels, ranging from business & finances to pets & animals. 451 Press is named after the literary classic Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. 451 degrees Fahrenheit is the temperature at which books burn. That would also explain their flaming logo. Anyway, 451 Press order this ReviewMe review to plug their blog comment contest.
You Could Win $300 Just For Making a Comment
What would you buy with $300? Or even $200 or $100? Now is your chance to find out! Comment on any 451 Press site during the month of August and you could win! Three comments will be chosen at random to win a cash prize of $300, $200 or $100. The more you comment the more chances you have to win. So start reading and let those fingers fly.
I can see why 451 Press choose my blog to order a review. I have some of the most prolific commentators on the blogsphere (you know who you are).
What Are The Chances of Winning?
With over 300 blogs and a claimed 7.5 million visitors, one has to wonder what the chances of winning are. From the looks of thing, I say pretty good.
Checking out the 451 Press front page, which shows the latest posts from all their blogs, there’s a grand total of four comments from 25 blog posts. That seems completely out of wrack for a network that claims so much traffic.
I decided to check out some of the more popular channels to see if the commenting was as sparse as the front page. The business & finance channel had six comments, the Web 2.0 channel had six comments, personal development had two comments, automotive had 11 comments and technology had only three comments. I am pretty sure my blog has more comments than the entire 451 Press network (for those who are wondering, this blog has 54,789 posted comments and 231,571 comments that were deleted because they were spam).
This is all good news for you because your chances of winning one of the prizes is much higher if you don’t have too much competition. So pick a channel you like and comment away. It just might win you some money.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...
