The Not-So Boring Giveaway!

A couple of weeks ago I posted about my biggest blogging mistake. I tried to have a contest/challenge before I had enough traffic or a really great prize to truly make it worth while to my readers. I’ve learned from my mistake and I’m back to try it a second time with the Not-So Boring Giveaway.

The Prize - $100 in Cold Hard Cash

The winner will take away $100 send via their preferred method of payment (paypal, western union, snail mail)

The Requirements:

Make a post on your blog or website with the following linkbacks using the given anchor text:

one final requirement …

A linkback to this post PROMOTING this giveaway.

Here’s an example of what I’m looking for

NotSoBoringLife is the coolest site teaching everyday people how to play guitar, yoyo, pipe smoking, grip strength, and about shark fishing. Check out this post if you want to win $100!

Here’s How it Works

Make a post that meets the requirements above and then post a comment with a link to your entry. Your comment is your official entry into the giveaway. Once 20 links have been received a winner will be randomly chosen. That means you have a 5% chance of winning $100! Only one entry per person.

Good Luck.

Interesting prize, but it sounds too gimmicky. For hawaii they require a 12 day stay in a hotel with a fixed price that seems inflated.

I’m not participating but I mentioned your contest in this post along with 4 other contests.

Adam, the hotel prices are very competitive to anything a travel agent will find you. The hotels are luxury resorts and very nice.

I guess I should have mentioned I received these tickets as a gift from our home builder. They use these types of promotions all the time to get people in the door. I couldn’t use them because or our recent move.

Ilker, thanks a lot for the mention.

I am guessing you are not counting the people who made multiple comments and responded to other people’s comments as part of your 20 right. You did mean 20 unique comments with links?
