When PAM was first launched we had a bit of problems trying to generate traffic to the actual site and many people only came once and only stayed on the site for less than a minute. After the site had been up for three months we came across Toronto SEO where it actually generated more traffic to our site making us have a lot more members in the first month. And today here we are, still kicked and still generating traffic.
These past couple of months Lenzr has been doing some initial upgrades to the website and are excited to show it off to you. The photo contests will be returning in September with a new voting system. How it goes is that instead of being eligible to vote on the first day in the month of the contest starting, you will now only be allowed to vote on the twentieth day of the contest being live. Although contestants must wait to vote on other photographs, members are still able to submit their pictures for viewing. The Lenzr Admin will set a specific date for when the voting should begin, which will be about ten days before the end of the contest.
Most of you probably capture conflict in your every day life regardless of it being from the lens or your own two eyes. This month on Lenzr a social media marketing company will be rewarding the winner a Blackberry Bold* 9700 for the Conflict photo contest. Conflict can get pretty nasty, but behind a camera you can really grasp a hold the surrounding energy of the conflict you are around.
Like a lot of businesses or sometimes college and universities, they tend to travel the world in some of the most gorgeous countries - when they do they most likely visit well known buildings and Lenzr thought that View From The Roof would be a perfect photo contest. An Ontario flat roof installation and repair service company will be rewarding the winner of this contest an Apple iPad. View From The Roof photo contest should really emphasize those who see things from a different angle and especially being extremely high.
Summer in Canada this year has been extremely breath taking weather wise and has been especially kind to campers and photographers. Lenzr is really excited to present to members this upcoming contest, Morning Sunshine. Seeing how this summer has been almost perfect, they expect to see glorious morning sunshine. Solar Line a company that build portable solar power generators are proud to sponsor this contest by rewarding the winner an Apple iPad.
Growing up all of us watched people building things especially our parents or friends and other family members. Lenzr thought People Building Things would be a perfect photo contest next month simply because building things is a popular hobby for most people. Ontario’s deck building company is excited to reward the winner an iPad.
All four contests will end October 1st 2010.

A few months back PartyAftermath wrote about a photo contest on Lenzr about Everyday Tangled Web which was a fairly popular contest seeing how most homes in the GTA are a jungle mixed up mess. After the contest was over with the company who sponsored the prize, S.E. Telecom became fairly inspired by the thought and how a lot of business telecommunication companies go through disastrous mix ups day in and day out.
Saying this they became interested in making a video The Wall of Shame that was dedicated to tangled webs in everyday situations.
If my office area was in this situation I do not know what I would do.
