I’m thinking of doing a contest but I’m not sure which “goal” is most efficient: more RSS feeds, more commenters, etc.

Is there a blog post that tells the significance of each “goal?”

Thanks for taking the time to share your lessons with us.

This indeed a great post Chris! You have done a nice analysis, and came up with summary of your findings.

I think now a days, holding a solo contest is not worth, but coming together and bringing advertisers in is something that helps

Very helpful indeed. I will be running a small contest myself very soon.

I’m planning on running a contest at my site soon – I’ll be sure and do things such as promotion and leaving a long window to open.

Thanks for outlining it for us!

So far we haven’t had any contest yet on our blog but surely if we’ll have one I’ll take all these into consideration.

I like this. I find myself having troubles creating contests especially when no one partakes in them.
