The “One Heck Of A Giveaway” Contest

Bloggin-Ads Add comments

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 Duration1/11/08 ’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.

*Group 1*

*Group 2*

*Group 3*

*Group 4*

*Group 5*

*Group 6*

*Group 7*

*Group 8*

*Group 9*

*Group 10*

*Group 11*

*Group 12*

  • 500EC, 2 month 125×125 ad spot (ABC)
  • 1 month 125×125 ad spot (Contest Time)
  • 1 Month 125×125 ad spot (Read To Me Dad)
  • 1 month 125×125 ad spot (Rhyan)
  • Blog directory submission (5 keyword phrases) (SEO News)

Every contestant is only able to win once. *EC = Entrecard Credits*

*Update* – I made a mistake and listed “Read To Me Dad” twice, but one of them is suppose to be “Google Is Not God”. Don’t worry if you have posted about this though, I’ll make those changes in my list. Sorry!

Entry Methods

I have been thinking of many different types of methods to bring the most out of, but in the end I’ve decided to make things very simple. The more simpler it is, the easier you guys can get an entry(s) ticket into my contest

  • 3 ticket – Subscribe to Bloggin-Ads.com via E-mail (CLICK HERE)
  • 10 ticket – Post about this contest by using the post link and you must have all the groups and prize sponsors’ blog URLs in tact on your post
  • 1 ticket each – Post a comment on any one of the prize sponsors’ blog (Limit 5)
  • 1 ticket – Stumble/Digg this post (you must post a message on StumbleUpon/Digg)

Upon completing any of the above entry tasks, please leave a comment on this post with what methods you have done. If you have made a post, please put the link in the comment. If you posted a comment on a sponsor blog’s post, please link me to the post(s) (limit 5). Please make sure you use the same e-mail throughout all the blogs!

Remember if you just subscribe to my e-mail feed here, you already have 3 entry tickets, and you receive 1 for every different blog you leave a comment on (limit 5).

LET THE CONTEST BEGIN!

*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.

Great work Mike, I am so glad that I am one of the sponsors. Today I will add the 125X125 which offer here, it will be empty and I will link it back to this page so contestants can know where the Ad spot will be placed in my blog.

In Addition, I will write a blog post about the contest. I am a sponsor… but I want to win one of your great prizes too ;-)

Thanks,

Also there should be a correction, you have Read to ME, Dad listed twice but didn’t list Google is not God at http://w.googleisnotgod.com as one of my sites for the 125 X 125 ad for one month. I left 3 comments so far and will digg and stumble this also. I don’t do the e-mail rss thing as I get enough e-mail to slog through each day but your blog is on my feed reader.

Thank you guys for entering the contest and helping the blogging community by posting about this. Some of you guys still have your doubts because it seems like I’m getting all the attention, but you’re absolutely wrong. The reason I asked for so many sponsors is so I can provide a backlink to them, but others that post about this contest also provides a backlink. If you’re one of my sponsors, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about ;) Although I did make some mistakes on this post in the beginning, I really didn’t realize it would be such a big hit. My biggest apology does go to Gorilla Sushi because I made a huge mistake on his link.

Anyways, I haven’t been replying to comments on this post because I have been replying via e-mail or I wanted you guys to communicate a bit more.

Although everything seems great there is a slight problem with some entries because of misinterpretation of my post.

1. All previous e-mail subscribers including current ones qualify for this contest.
2. You must subscribe through my e-mail feed and not a feed reader.
3. If you decide to post about this contest, please have all the prizes and the sponsors’ links intact. Just posting about the contest or discussing a few prizes does not count. I’m sorry.
4. If you have made a comment on one of the sponsors’ posts, please remember to post the links of the posts here. Although I might check for some of these comments, there is simply too much to go through.
5. The 12 winners will be drawn randomly, but the names of the winners get taken out of the next drawn prize.

If everyone follows these methods, there should be no problems in receiving an entry :)

-Mike
