Article Content King

A New King For December — Nick Mutt

December 6, 2009 by Dan Blackburn

After 2 months at the top Roseanna Leaton’s crown has been taken by new Top Author Nick Mutt.  Nick won the contest by  278 points after submitting almost 100 articles over the month of November.  He wins $100 plus a variety of promotional benefits including a link to this profile page on the Article Content King home page.

I spoke to Nick briefly the other day and he was delighted to have won the contest. Hopefully later in the week we will we able to set up a time to interview him about his business and article marketing approach. In the meantime you can learn more about Nick Mutt by visiting his profile page. He is a well respected author who writes mainly about health and alternative medicine, but is also the founder and CEO of Elite Informatics, an Internet Advertising Company. You can follow Nick on Twitter here.

More About The Top Author Contest

Next Month, or rather this month we are tweaking the rules of the contest again to make your author score the average score of all your articles plus 1 extra point for every 5 articles we approve. This will likely be the last tweak we make.

These rules will make the contest more about article quality than article quantity. Your score could actually go down when we approve an article, not always up as it is now. For example, if we approve your first 3 articles with a score of 18, your author score will be 18 (the average). If you then submit a mediocre article that goes live with a score of 9, your author score will drop to 15!

I think these rules will find the best author on the site and encourage everyone to submit better articles, or rather not submit bad ones as well. I am not suggesting for a moment that Nick won the contest this month just because he submitted the most articles. He would have won this month even if these rules applied, but it would have been a much closer contest. I can also see how it could be possible for us to NOT find the best author on the site with the current rules.

These tweaks will be visible on the site in the next few days hopefully. Definitely before the end of the month. They apply now. Click here to submit your best articles to article content king.
