    I am getting so many blogs/company's not wanting me to enter their comps because they get a lot of spam entries that are coming from MSE

    I'M paranoid now. How do blogs/companies match the two together? i can't imagine they'd be bothered ...

    Can somebody in simple terms please explain why bloggers do not want 'compers' to enter their comps, surely anybody who enters comps is a 'comper'.

    They want "genuine readers" rather than those who just come a sniffing because a prize is on offer. Some say they don't want "compers" which is better than those who just will not pick a "comper" as a winner.

    Sounds as though everything I have thought about bloggers is true then.
