Contest Details

Without further ado, here’s what you simply need to do – read carefully

  1. 10 points – Subscribe via email and blog about this contest (see #2) on your blog with all the sponsors’ links and prizes intact - mandatory
  2. 5 points – A link back to my home page with Anchor Text – Blogging Tips for Beginners
  3. In less than 20 words, tell us why the sponsors rocks. For each sponsor you write about, you will be getting 5 points so there will be a maximum of 55 points for all the 11 sponsors.
  4. If you have completed all the above and collected the maximum 70 points, you will automatically be entitled to the Grand Draw.
  5. The details of the Grand Draw can be found in your RSS feed with the “Unlock the Code” link to the page for the Grand Prize.

More Contest Details

  1. There will be a bonus of 3 referral points for each person whom is referred by you. The contestant has to state that he/she is being referred by you. The logic states that only one contestant can be referred by one introducer. Make sense?
  2. All the referral points cannot be accumulated into the maximum points.
  3. As usual, the verification will be done based on the comment you leave here shouting what you have completed. Your IP will be logged and verified.
  4. The winners will be picked by using the random list generator at http://random.org. Screenshots will be provided.

Update: Banner Ads Display

Additional 10 points if you opt to display the banner ads on your sidebar.

You missed me in the early birds! Can I kick your ass now ? :P I email-subscribed to your site with confirmation via Feedburner on Fri, July 25, 2008 1:00 pm. Am I too late or you actually missed me ? :P

Yan July 31, 2008 at 2:11 am

@kahpeng – No, I did not miss you. It’s just that you did not leave your comment on the teaser but I still have you down for 3 points so please don’t kick my ass. Good luck, bro.

Piss Biscuit July 31, 2008 at 2:57 am

@ Yan: Speaking of ass kicking… what a hell of a contest you’re putting on. It’s like

“The Ultimate Prize Pack for Beginning Bloggers”

One question… are the prizes issued randomly (by the generator)? I know that the point we can accumulate are going towards Winner#6, but as far as the rest… completely random right?

I’ll be posting up something very soon PB style, so keep those eyes pealed! As for everyone else… good luck to you!

PS: Stumbled it!

Yan August 1, 2008 at 8:04 pm

@AP – You need to write something about the sponsors. Why you think they rock? Anything in less than 20 words. The sponsors deserve a little more publicity in that sense.

I’m sure it’s not a difficult task for you, AP.

@Brian D. Hawkins – I thank you for your generosity and support. I’m doing everything I could to give the maximum publicity to all the sponsors and I hope you like it.

Actually the subscription via email can be found on the main page. Are you in for the contest, Bryan? The grand prize is good if you live in the USA.

Brian D. Hawkins August 2, 2008 at 4:25 pm

Thanks Yan, I found it and subscribed with extremeezine AT gmail.com. Sure, count me in :)

Yan August 2, 2008 at 4:34 pm

@Brian D. Hawkins – On the basis of fair game, do you think it’s possible if you add all the sponsors’ prizes on your entry post? I really hope that you could work towards the maximum points sometime later.

Good luck, Bryan and I’m still waiting for you to announce the winner of your contest..:-)

Lucas August 3, 2008 at 1:13 pm

Cool contest. Too bad I can’t join yet as my blog has not been launched (yet!). I will be launching it next week, so hopefully I could create a blog post about this contest and join the fun! I have subscribed via e-mail already, so I guess that’s half the “10-point battle” won. :mrgreen:

Yan August 4, 2008 at 1:53 am

@Lucas – I’m looking forward to your new blog and when it’s ready, just drop me a line. Oh ya, don’t forget to participate in the contest and thanks for subscribing. You have surely won half the battle.
