Well it’s technically not a “MILLION” dollars being given away, but you can say that this is going to be one heck of a big contest. It’s totally different from what other contests are about because you guys (my readers) are the ones that are running this. You guys are the ones that are providing all the items that are going to be given away. I’m sure all of you guys love these blog contests that have been running around the net for these past weeks. The main reason for blog contests are to gain some type of exposure and a community of readers. The contest I’m conducting now of course does benefit me, but I’ve changed it to give the sponsors all free backlinks from my blog and other blogs that choose to post about this contest. Now my blog is all about showing love to other blogs no matter what size and this contest should do the job by helping all the sponsors ![]()
Contest Duration - 1/11/08 ’til 1/31/08 (11:59:00PM PST)
Prizes
There are going to be 12 different groups of prizes, which means there are going to be a total of 12 different winners. By adding up the value of all the prizes, I would say it is worth a least $1,000. Just for Max’s sponsorship of “500″ One Buck Wiki pages total a value of $500, which makes it one heck of a contest.

*Update 1/20/08* - It has come to my attention that this contest concept is being admired by many of you especially my sponsors. If any of you are going to use this same concept, I would appreciate it if you post back to my blog stating that the idea was from me. I just want to feel appreciated…and of course to receive some backlinks, but this idea took me forever to think of.










Nice contest. Glad to see that the sponsors are getting something out of it, should drive a decent load of traffic to all
