My First Contest
Ok, I’ve got some 125×125’s that obviously aren’t going to be selling themselves anytime soon. Why not give those away? I also wouldn’t mind putting up a sponsored post or two depending upon number of entries. Last but not least, I’ll throw in a few blogroll links.
Bloggernoob has concluded that your contests will receive much more interest if you require very little of the visitors to enter the contest. I like that idea, and will go with that for my first contest. So here is what is up for grabs.
First Prize: 1 Sponsored post, 1 125×125 ad, and 1 blogroll link
Second Prize: 1 125×125 ad and 1 blogroll link
Third Place: 1 blogroll link and a backlink in an upcoming post, pointing a key idea to one of your posts
Forth Place: 1 blogroll link
What do you have to do to get in on this? All you have to do is leave me a comment. A simple comment will get you an entry into this contest. I will randomely pick the winners on July 11th. You then simply have to respond in that post to claim your prize. It’s that simple. Comment here, add me to your RSS feed, and wait to win. I have very few subscribers so it’s a great chance that you will win something by entering.
I am also accepting sponsored prizes for future contests. If you are interested in sponsoring a future contest with prizes, gift cards, ad space, or anything else feel free to comment me with a way to contact you. There would be exposure to your site guaranteed if you sponsored a contest.

i like it. Comment contests are the best ones in my book. you might want to spice it up with a little greenback. Free ads as prizes might not be enough to entice people on a new blog. Offer $5 or something. My $5 contests were really popular when i first started doing them. Also, your comment section is coded wrong. I can’t see what i’m typing.

Woo, comment.
Also, Facebook advertising you say?

Love the idea - This is something we have been toying with as well.

Saw you on Bloggers Idol. Good luck to you.
I’ll throw in a month of free advertising on my site as a contest prize. That’s only worth about five bucks though, but maybe it’ll help you? If you want to throw in a month of advertising on my contest as well it would be greatly appreciated.

While I am here, I’d like to invite you to enter my
contest at The Limelight.
