    I started off sorting the comps in acsending date of last post and then working from the beginning until I got to 2 days behind. Then I just do a days worth of comps until I reach the ones with last post of 'Yesterday' and then tomorrow I'd do the same, so I'd only ever be behind by at least a day. In my opinion that's enough of a gap to hunt out potential dupes and things, and by using the entered button, you can see those which you've already entered, even if people have posted on them to make then 'active' again in my list, if you see what I mean.

    As of now I'm making my way thru the 1st June last posts, beginnings of a month are a pain, but the more you enter, the more chance of winning. I hasten to add I don't do EVERY comp, I won't touch FB or rafflecopter for instance, but I would guesstimate on average over a month I enter 300-500 a day? might be a little wide of the mark there though.

    hope that helps :)
