Some of you may recall the 30GB Microsoft Zune I won at the 2007 Affiliate Networking Dinner. Since winning the MP3 and video player, I have used it a grand total of zero hours. As a matter of fact, it’s still in the box. I figure since I don’t use it, I might as well give it away with another evil blog contest.
To enter the Win a Microsoft Zune contest, just make a post in your blog about it. Link to this blog’s home page using the anchor test “make money on the internet” and link to this blog post. Here’s an example of what I want.
John Chow dot Com, a blog that helps you make money on the internet, is giving away a Microsoft Zune. To enter, all you have to do is write about it. This is my entry. Now give me my Zune!
OK, that was a bad example but you get the idea. Add as much information as you want - just make sure you follow the linking rules. The post must be by itself and cannot be added to any other post. This contest is open to everyone. If you have blog, you can enter. It doesn’t matter where you are or what language your blog is in.
According to my TTZ Media price index, this prize is worth about $250.00 so it’s definitely worth entering.
After you complete your entry, send me an email with the URL to your post. Once I confirm the post meets the entry requirements, I’ll print out your email and add in to the draw bucket. At the end of this month, I’ll draw one name from the bucket and that blogger will be the proud owner of a brand new 30GB Microsoft Zune!
Enter now and Good luck!

great way to generate backlinks to you with the anchor text MAKE MONEY ONLINE.
My SEO instincts tell me this is awesome!
i think your SEO instincts are right… hey you wouldn’t happen to have a spidey sense too would ya?
No if I had that I’d be jumping from building to building hanging onto thin white threads to save my ass.
thank god I don’t!
SEO Sense is tingling?
Whateva.. that Zune is mine!
When you’re starting to get SEO instincts it’s surely time to take a (long, very long) break from blogging mate
I disagree, that’s the time to get blogging more
Eh. I get laid sometimes. It’s all good.
The blogosphere is SEO crazy right now. I posted a list of good SEO related stuff today. John’s always up to something evil.
So you’re trying to get to the top of Google for “make money on the internet” as well? Gosh golly darn…pretty soon you won’t be able to a single search on Google without a link to JohnChow dot com popping up!!
Kumiko
Sooner or later Google will figure a way to crack down on this kind of thing… lets hope its not to late!
Duh!
Apparently Google bombing didn’t die entirely
It’s obviously hard to keep track of it…
As long as you have the same anchor text on the page it is not google bombing
Interesting, I never heard that..
I would still classify it as a Google bomb myself *shrug*
Bombs away!
Mine field
It is only a google bomb if the page that the anchor links to has nothing to do with the anchor text.
Like George Bush ranking #1 for the term ‘failure’
Well, I wouldn’t say that the two are unrelated…

John, great contest yet again. I’ve jumped in as my wife has said she wants one of these and it would save me from having to buy one.
I’m happy with my Video ipod
What he said.
We both have an ipod shuffle and haven’t been very happy with it, so I am hesitant to buy a video ipod. Although I will be getting a new ipod at a conference I am attending in May.
Gosh John You’re so evil! But I will put up with it if it wins me a free Zune. You truly have such a huge advantage for getting search engine placement, because you have so many people working for you, for free or for a zune! Your potential on the internet just makes me go crazy.

The John Chow machine is quite impressive as he has built a large following and his readers understand the value of links from his site. I think John could give away just about anything and have a successful promotion.
Meanwhile I’ve been trying to give away a free version of TaxCut on my site and cannot get any interest from my readers. I’ve still got a lot to learn.
You need to have a large audience before you start doing this sort of thing. Also, you need a good prize, I don’t think too many people are going to get excited about a copy of TaxCut….
What about 10,000 free hours on AOL?
True but considering that my site is focused on personal finance, the prize is relevant to the content. I’m still learning so the next time I will do a better job.
My New Choice - How many people have you got coming to your blog? I think Dave is right, you need to have a large audience before many people enter. Also, even though John might get 100 entries, he has 4000 people signed up to rss - so that is only 2.5% take up rate.
I’m actually surprised this technique is working so well for him.
Why? its not very surprising really, infact its pretty ovbious!

I’m not sure I even want a Zune…I mean, I have four iPods…
I’m with you ED, I barely use my ipod as it is
If you have four iPod, then you must have a Zune!
I can’t support the evil empire!
(Microsoft, not John Chow, he has my support!)
Wait, wait…did you say FOUR iPods? WTF???
Ed, I think you need to give one away in your own contest.
One?? Give away all 4!
oh boy oh boy oh boy another evil
contest for us all….
Am I eligible?
You can write a post about it but you won’t win.
HAHAH!
