Evil Blog Contest - Win A Nintendo Wii!
written by John Chow
John Chow, Michael Kwan and Tejpal from 1234Pens.com
It’s time for another blog contest. This time I’m giving a Nintendo Wii that was graciously given to me by 1234Pens.com! Just like the Sony PS3, people lined up overnight in order to get their hands on the Wii. Unlike the PS3, gamers purchased them to play and not to resell on eBay. Make no mistake about it, the Wii is a lot of fun. Now you can win it! Here’s how.
To enter the Root Of All Evil Nintendo Wii contest, just make a post in your blog about it. Link to me using the anchor text “make money online,” link to www.1234Pens.com using “promotional pens,” and link to this blog post. Here’s an example.
John Chow dot Com, a blog that helps you make money online, is giving away a Nintendo Wii. To enter, all you have to do is write a blog post about it. This is mine. Where’s my Wii? The contest is sponsored by 1234Pens.com. They make promotional pens.
OK, that was a pretty bad example but you get the idea. Add as much information as you want - just make sure you follow the linking rules. 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. After you made your post, send an email to wii@1234pens.com with the URL to your post. Once we confirm the post meets the linking requirements, we’ll print out your email and toss 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 Nintendo Wii! The draw will be done in a video post. Good luck!

This is awesome John. I’m working on my post now
I just realized your evil plan. You are boosting your rank for search results as well as the standard evil linkbaiting. Truly evil
I also realized I just replied to my own post. 
James! Haha hey buddy. You crack me up.
Hey nice to see you hear Bryan
here’s my post for the contest already

Very clever James, very clever and evil!
Another good plan by John, its a decent prize so I think he’ll get a few link backs, I wonder if he’s getting his pens free as well!
He is. They are a gift, from them.
Figures, worth the publicity if the readership is local, a bit too far away for me to order any
I guess that it’s still worth every effort, since an international audience brings about a potential larger audience than a local context.
A very good plan indeed, this one will bring an avalanche of backlinks
How soon will the ripples or effects take place? I can’t wait for the results!
Well, as of now, it’s not in the top 30.
I never win any draws but I’ll participate in your experiment. I’m easily bought.
You get sooo much free stuff…you are the Root of All Evil!
Heheh, Cool contest.
I will probably be entering it.
It’s not like I write about anything else except this blog anyways.
(JK, I have an AGLOCO post as well. ^_^’)
Wow people comment really fast here… Why can’t Bryan-Baker Dot Com be the same?
Cos you not giving away a Nintendo Wii
Great point Jez. Then again I don’t get them sent to me for FREE! Damn JC is a “lucky” guy. The harder you work the luckier you get.
Work harder Bryan! If you try, maybe you find that it is not too hard to woo your audience!
Very true, write quality content & get your name out there and the comments will come!
I think John is getting far more comments on the give-away posts than the actual quality content posts, giving things away pays better in terms of attention
Touche!
“Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door.”
This is a quote from your blog, Brian! You have the key, now use it!
Cool stuff.. working on my blog post too at my blog.. =)

Silly script seemed to parse it out there..
I KNEW IT! I knew John was going for the term “EVIL”. . . . . i’ll already have a wii, but the “evilness” that John is instilling in me doesn’t care and makes me want another one!
I love that he is using my Google Bomb idea!
WOW …..this is a very smart move to get as many links as possible and also to get back on the Digg frontpage…..man your are such an root of all evil
Dont think its really Digger material TBH, could be wrong…
I agree, this would never make it to the front page…
You are eWiiL John!!
Wow this is a sweet contest! I’m sure you’ll get plenty of entries.
He already is judging by the number of pingbacks already in the comments, a real master of self promotion….
