Blog guide and common blog problems

Blog guide
1. Writing the blog/articles

Before you can get CDP for blogging, you will have to create a blog and start writing articles. You can easily start one for free here. After you have registered ad created a blog, you can start writing thge articles.
You can write the articles in ANY language. Even in an invented language. We do not care. As long as you include a link to the website you are blogging about.
We will then award you 100 CDP for every article limited to 1 for each website each month. That means a limit of 300 CDP every month for 3 articles (one for every website above mentioned).

We have 3 websites we are interested in collecting links to:

www.cyberdunk.com
www.focusdep.com
www.talkdep.com

Ideally the blog article should be about the website. If you own a blog just write what you think about the websites. Or blog whenever you like about the leagues and games of Cyberdunk. Top players.. big upsets.. whatever you are interested in.

All Cyberdunk articles will be spotlighted in different areas of the website. So that means you will receive free visitors from Cyberdunk.com.

Requirements:

• The link has to be clickable, if the link isn't clickable you won't get the CDP.
  For example:
  www.cyberdunk.com is clickable
  www. cyberdunk.com is not clickable, and thus does not meet the requirements for you to get CDP.
  
• The clickable link has to work correctly. You won't get CDP for, for example, this link: www.cyberdunk.com (it goes to Talkdep) when you're blogging about Cyberdunk. If someone clicks on the link, he has to be taken to the site you're blogging about immediately.

2. Submitting the blog/articles

After you've written the blog (please double-check if it's according the rules), login to your cyberdunk account, select a player, then go to the "my cyberpoints" menu. Go to "My blog". If this is your first time, go to "add blog" and add your blog address. Then go to "submit article". Fill in the forms (note: when you input the link, be sure you either delete the "http:" that is already there, or don't copy and paste the "http:" part from your link.). Tick off the site you are blogging about, this is essential for getting the CDP. When you filled in everything correctly, press "add article". If you did everything correctly you will get your CDP of one of the mods or admins (whoever checked your blog). This can take up to 3 days, so please be patient

• The article you submit has to be an article that was written on the blog you submitted in the 'add blog' screen. Otherwise you won't be able to get the CDP.
  
• You can gain a maximum of 300 CDP per month, but only if you submit 1 article about Cyberdunk, 1 about Talkdep and 1 about Focusdep.
  
• You have to wait 30 days after you submitted (and have got CDP for) the article before you submit an article about the same site (Cyberdunk, Talkdep or Focusdep). For example, I submitted and got the CDP for an article about Cyberdunk on the 15th of September. I'll have to wait 'till the 15th of October until I can get CDP for an article about Cyberdunk again, however, I can get CDP for an article about Talkdep or Focusdep on, for example, the 25th of September, but then I'll have to wait until the 25th of October until I can get CDp for an article about Talkdep or Focusdep again (depending on which site you were blogging about). The same counts for the 3rd site/article.
  note: you will not gain 300CDP when you submit 1 article that contains 3 links. You'll have to submit it 3 times (each time for another site) before you'll be able to get all 300 CDP.
  
• You can submit only 2 blog articles/day

3. I didn't get CDP for my blog
This is a very common problem, and may have a lot of reasons, maybe one, possibly even more. Before you go and report it as not being rewarded to the mods and start complaining, you should make sure you checked all the things that are listed below.

1. Make sure your link to your blog is submitted correctly in Cyberdunk. This means when you click on the link at 'vew submitted articles' of your article that you have to go to the article immediately. Common problems are:
   • that 'http://http://' is typed twice when you submitted it. Make sure to either delete the 'http://' that's already typed where you have to submit the link or to not copy and paste the 'http://' from your article link.
   • an incorrect hand-typed link. Use copy and paste to make sure you don't have any typo's in your submitted link.
2. There is no clickable link included, or a wrong one. Go back to your blog and check twice if the link works correctly and directs to the site you are blogging about. Don't just think that your link is correct when it's just clickable. Make sure it is a 100% correct by clicking it and if you're directed to the site then, then you know it's a good one.
   Note: of course, there is already a chance didn't notice your link and thought that it wasn't there, we're only human too, after all. If you think that's the problem, highlight the link and resubmit your article. Be sure to check if the link is valid first.
   
3. Make sure the link you submit is going to your blog or one of the articles. We are not going to search for the article where the link is written. for example don't submit a link to www.skyrock.com so we have to go and search for your article, submit a link that directs us to your blog immediately to save us time and effort and to save you problems for getting CDP.
4. You submitted an article that doesn't belong to your blog. You can only add articles from the blog you added at the 'add blog' screen, you will not be able to get CDP from articles that don't belong to your blog. If you want to change the link at the 'add blog' screen, pm one of the mods so we can try helping you out. But it might be easier to just go back to your blog you submitted there and write new articles about Cyberdunk, Focusdep or Talkdep.

3.1 'There is already a blog article with that link'
In this case, you'll have to create a new article in your blog. Do not create a whole new blog for this as you wouldn't get CDP for it.
How to create a new article in a few easy steps:

• Go to your blog management screen (login of course)
• click on the 'manage blog' button (or 'view blog')
• copy the text
• create a new article
• paste the text
• submit it as a new article
• check the links to see if the are working

and then you can submit it in Cyberdunk and you should be able to get your CDP again.

3.2 My blog is banned
This problem message may pop up if you didn't submit your blog link at the 'add blog' page. This message will also pop up if your submitted article does not belong to the submitted blog. This is to avoid taking advantage of other user's blogs.
If you did submit the right blog at 'add blog' and your submitted article does belong to that blog, then your blog really may be banned. We only ban blogs in the worst cases, such as:

• submitting stupid links like www.cyberdunk.com as your link to your blog article.
• Insulting any player/mod/admin in your blog or article. We allow you to say what you think about Cyberdunk, Focusdep or Talkdep but we will not allow you to insult anyone.
• Pornographic pictures included in your blog. Remember that your articles are displayed throughout Cyberdunk and that there are children playing the game.

there are more things that can cause a ban of your blog, but we only ban blogs in the worst cases.


If you still experience trouble with the blogs, after checking everything, you are free to pm me or any other mod and we will be happy to help you.

when you submitted it, I believe, but I'm not sure
when submitted on the 31st of August, you'll have to wait 'till the 30th of October and when submitted on the 28th of February then you'll have to wait 'till the 30th of March
