But as u said it popularized blogging. But in india if such campaign is run "who know how long users will use ibibo,whether they use it for the sake of winning the prizes or to stick with it. The same thing Guruji is doing but i am skeptical about users to use Guruji after the contest is over. As in my employer comapny, my colleagues use Guruji daily for the sake of winning the prize but not for professional use they still use Google to find stuffs but they use Guruji to win prize not to use their technology. I hope that in coming days Google will acquire Guruji and Google will show guruji results [provided u select "pages from india on google page] from their data centers on Google search result page. As VC's want their invested companies either IPO or Lucrative exit. ibibo's "Earn crores to Blog" is absolutely bad campaign which i didn't liked much. But as u said it popularized blogging.
