Contest has been extended until Sunday, 6/15, 11:59:59PM PST
After seeing all these great contests pop up, my wife and I thought it would be time to start another huge contest. I just have to beat Gyutae Park in that massive contest he had last month 
Before I continue to show you the details of the contest, I want to tell you guys that I was one of the first bloggers (or the first period) to have the largest contest that gave back to all the sponsors. The contest was called the “One Heck Of A Giveaway” contest and what I did was give back to the sponsors by having one of the entry methods being a post about the contest with all the sponsors’ links intact. What happened was even after the contest ended, all my sponsors received about 40+ linkbacks to their blog
The reason why I’m having a new contest is because I decided to experiment a bit with a new strategy into my blogging here at Bloggin-Ads. So far I’ve been keeping everything consistent with new posts everyday and focusing more on the blogging topic. The best way to get the word out about my new blogging methods is by starting a contest.
Prizes
The prizes are very huge and you’re probably wondering how I am giving out such huge items. Well, I’ve been busy networking and talking to a lot of companies into sponsoring me for new ventures. I talked to some local and online businesses and the prizes below is what I got. The leftover $1,000 is actually sponsored by a few of my relatives, so that’s a bonus.
There are only 3 prizes, but there will be 12 different winners. But wait, before you close the browser thinking that the prizes are worthless, please take at what the prizes are 
- 2 x MacBook Air (a value of $1,799 each)
1.6Ghz Intel Core Duo
2GB Ram
80GB Internal Drive
13.3″ Display
Built-In WiFi and Bluetooth - 10 winners x $100 (a value of $1,000)
Sponsors
I know that there will be a few of you that wish to sponsor some prizes into the prize pool and I’m totally fine with that, but with one exception. Instead of letting all those random prizes fly around, I’m going to require the sponsor prizes to have higher values. Anything you sponsor should have a value of a least $100 and I’m going to verify this. If you’re going to sponsor in some Entrecard credits, the minumum would be 10,000 credits since I understand that not a lot of members would have over 30,000 in the balance. If you’re interested in sponsoring, all you have to do is leave a comment or send me a message.
The Entry Methods
Keeping things simple here, I’m just going to start out with a few entry methods that are very simple, but requires some of your participation. I mean if you want to win a MacBook Air, the least you could do is participate right? 
Subscribe to Feed ( 1 ticket )- This is the simplest entry method that seems to be very popular. All you have to to is subscribe to my feed via E-mail. I will be able to check the e-mails, but not the feed reader sites. E-mail will just guarantee you an entry.
Participate In Forums ( 1-10 ticket per day ) - Participate in 2 of my forums and you will get entry methods depending on how much you partcipate. The first forum is here on my blog at the top and the second is my EntreForums.
Participate On Bloggin-Ads ( 1 ticket per comment / 5 limit a day ) - As long as you comment on the latest posts and just participate, you’re guaranteed 1 entry per day
Write About It ( 10 tickets ) - Write about this contest and link to me with the anchor text, “blog reviews”. If you don’t use a anchor text, you will still receive 5 tickets.
Stumble / Digg / Propel ( 3 tickets ) - Just Stumble or Digg this post and you get 3 tickets. The DIGG link is here and this is the Propel link.
BONUS ENTRY - May 24th ( 5 tickets ) - Post the contest banner on your blog’s sidebar/blogroll and you will gain these bonus entries. Please use any of the 2 following banners and link it to the contest:
Make sure you leave a comment with what you did and please use the same e-mail/website everywhere, so I can keep track. More entry methods will be available, but it will be mentioned anywhere (blog posts, forum threads, comments )
Update: 5/17/08:
1. Existing subscribers are not excluded and I will verify participating in the contest to know which ones are included. This is why I need participants to leave a comment.
2. The Forum entry methods are separated to each forum, so 20 total tickets could be obtained.
3. I do apologize that I didn’t realize that I mentioned only comments on the “latest posts” count. Older posts do in fact count too.
4. Each blog post on different blogs (if you own more than one) count as an entry.
5. There are going to be hidden entry methods around my blog, forum, and messaging through social networks such as Twitter, BlogCatalog, and MyBlogLog.
6. I’m keeping track of the entries every single day through Excel. I have learned from my previous contest that if I don’t keep track early, it would be hard in the end. The reason I ask for the same username/e-mail on all the comments is so I can keep track of all the stuff including forum posts. The forum posts are easy to keep track of because I can check the usernames in the admin dashboard.
7. There are a total of 12 winners. I’ll throw all the entries and names (each entry = one name) into the randomizer site to find the winners. The 2 laptops will go to 2 different winners. The $1,000 will be split among the 3-12th winner ($100 each)
8. To make things fair, each winner will only win ONE item.
Thanks Garry for bringing up all these questions and having this post. You’re great at bringing up these questions as I didn’t even think of them yet 
I hope that answers everything.
Contest will end on June 13, which is Friday the 13th
Good luck to all of you and have fun This is actually only a part of the contest as the rest is going to be announced at another time
