Who Wants CASH, 299 Entrecard Credits, Free Backlinks, and More?
By Christian Little • Oct 1st, 2008 • Category: ContestsToday is October 1st, and for no other reason aside from that I’m giving out some free stuff! You can win the following stuff:
- 3 Months of Free Advertising on this blog in the form of a 125×125 banner in the sidebar (note – adult/xxx/pharmacy sites will not be allowed)
- 299 Entrecard Credits
- $25 (US) CASH courtesy of Webmasters.am Forum (via Paypal)
- Free Backlinks from this site
- Bragging rights for winning the first contest on this blog
The total value of these prizes is somewhere around $50USD. Yeah it’s small, but I’m on a tight budget , but once this blog grows and gets more readers I’ll post a bigger contest (ideally I’ll be doing one every month, but we’ll see how things pan out this first time).
Yeah it’s not the greatest of prizes, but it’s a start! So how do you get involved? Simple, as with all blogging contests you win tickets by performing certain actions. At the end of the contest, a random winner will be drawn and given the prizes.
So How Do I Win Tickets?
- Win 1 ticket for every approved comment you post on this blog (approved meaning not caught by Akismet, actually contributes something. Do not piggyback comment – meaning don’t post 5 comments on the same post without anybody else commenting in between them). (no limit)
- Win 1 ticket for mentioning my blog in your own blog posts as a reference (hence creating a pingback). (no limit, but this does not stack with winning 5 tickets for reviewing my blog, it has to be on a different post to count).
- Win 5 tickets for adding this site to your Technorati Favorites (limit 1 for this contest)
- Win 5 tickets for doing a review of this blog on your own blog (limit 1 for this contest)
- Win 10 tickets for registering at Webmasters.am Forums and creating a post that says you’re there because of this contest (limit 1 for this contest)
- Win 10 tickets for posting 25 quality posts at the Webmasters.am Forums (limit 1 for this contest). By quality I mean actually contributing/helping grow the forum, not just some 1-liner posting.
By just adding me to your Technorati Favorites, reviewing this blog, and posting on a forum you instantly gain 30 tickets! All that takes only a few minutes of your time, so get to it!
Tracking Your Tickets
Once you’ve done something that earns a ticket, just comment on this posting so I can verify it. That right there gets you another ticket.
Contest Winner
The contest winner will be announced on October 15th (yes this contest only runs for 2 weeks), and they will get all of the prizes listed above. However those of you that comment and pingback for tickets will get free backlinks, as both of those are do-follow on this blog – so you will get something just for trying.
