A big welcome to all the HubLove readers coming to this blog to get the clue for the HubLove Contest. Here is your clue:
One word: (pie to a Guatemalan) + (kugel in Baden-Württemberg)
Figure it out and leave a comment with your guess on the Hub for today’s topic (not here).
How the HubLove Contest Works:
- Participants will use clues to figure out the day’s topic. The day’s clue page is published at HubPages at noon exactly, which can either give the actual clue or point to a blog post (like this one) for the clue, also published at noon exactly.
- The first person to guess the topic correctly (on the HubPages clue page, in the comments) wins a bonus number of points.
- Participants have until noon the next day to publish up to 10 articles (what we call Hubs) on that topic. Each eligible article wins a certain number of points.
- At the day’s closing, HubPages narrows down the entries to 3-5 finalists.
- A winner is selected by the judge. The winner gets a point bonus.
This cycle continues every day for the 30 days of the contest. The participant with the highest number of points at the end wins a “Killer Hubbing/Blogging Package” (a MacBook Pro, Canon 30D Digital SLR camera, a Sony Handycam, and an iPod Touch – worth $5000). The contest is restricted to legal U.S. residents.

One of the most common complaint (or excuse) I hear from potential new bloggers is they don’t know how to install WordPress. Terms like FTP and CPanel are like a foreign language and setting up a database might as well be setting up the space shuttle for a launch. Because of the technology barrier, many would-be bloggers never start their blogs...

Yay a canadian blog showing non-canadian contests
The package prize looks pretty good though!
“Yay a canadian blog showing non-canadian contests”
1) The Internet is global. I am sure John don’t really get upset about where the visitor of is site come from when he cashes in is checks . Neither should you.
2) You say showing , I say participating directly :
more credibility given to John Chow by the editor of that site and link back to is Blog from a high volume website , number of permanent user’s gained ? probably more then a few.
John is always telling people to go outside there usual circle of friends. To use creative way to market there website/blogs , to do something nobody else does … He does what he says.
He as just handed you the way and playbook on how to make money of a US contest without being able to participate in it as a Canadian or as a contestant …

Great way to set-up a contest over many blogs. Good traffic for all. Very Creative!
That is a pretty bad-ass idea.
Very creative and unique.
30 days of free traffic and only a one time prize giveaway.
Nice idea…should easily go viral (especially after being posted on here)…but its a nice offer.
Thanks for the info. At least there’s a new constest that I could look forward to
Agreed – a very good idea indeed!~ I wish I could figure it out. It’s going to bother me all day now. *=)
Thats a great price for a contest. And it is a yummie one too. Bad thing I just have time to work and read here (damn I don’t even post any longer too).
Nice contest
I live in Germany, Baden Wurrtemburg, a Kugel refers to an EisKugel which is an ice cream bowl.
