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!

What a powerful ste is this.... it's nice and i know i'm working forward to my post now.
I'm from Nigeria.

Any news on when the winner will be announced?

I really hope the Wii is mine!

Hey John, if you get an extra Xbox 360 feel free to throw it my way! :p

Okay, I gave in...

Check it out at Geekmom. Email is on its way.

Why in the world would you give up your Wii?

this is in Chinese John!!!! you see, they'll never shut you down! NEVER!

yey!! I'm in!! they just emailed me:)

I should get best Blog Title for this contest, right? :grin:

OMG! That is sweet! I'm going to have to get started!

And...a few days after the original post, I finally took the two minutes to write up my post..haha..You can check out my Wii entry if you want.

If you get to the top of the Google results for "root of all evil" I will laugh. With the traffic you have and access to bloggers willing to link to you, there is a good chance you can pull of some other crazy feats as well.

Best of luck and I hope I win the Wii.

That would be a nice calling, since it's his tagline, anyway. :)

I'm in, article written but set to auto-publish tomorrow moring, heh.

After all it is all about making a sensation, and it doesn't really make any difference if you flash boobs or try to be the root of... you know what.

Kenny - I agree with you!!

Wow! Look at all those pingbacks... people are posting like crazy.

People really want a Wii... well, I also want a Wii :) I gotta go work on my post.

This is a brilliant way to increase search engine rankings John - for you and your sponsor.

I wonder how soon this will translate into the search engine results. There's many search terms for "promotional pens", so hopefully it pushes the sponsor up the search tables too.

Yeah, it's a really competitive keyword(s)

Whoever wins should continue the chain of evilness by running the exact same contest.

That's absolutely brilliant (and evil) :)

Is the "root of all evil" anchor text case sensitive?

No, I don't believe so.

Can we do it on more than one blog?

You'll have to check with John, but I don't see why not, so long as they are different domains.

More blogs means more exposure and better chance at the search engines. :twisted: I doubt he will disallow it.

So did I ;) Good luck to you all!

1234pens are definitely helpin ya out, great contest

Wii is really nice. I own it and I recommend you guys to buy Need For Speed Carbon. It's super fun!

Nice contest Evil John.

Oh you are an evil one. :grin:

Is it ok to add nofollow tag in the links?

No, it is not OK. A nofollow tag means no entry.

Will this be the first blog entry with more trackbacks than comments? Or has john disabled trackbacking for this entry?

Nope, your own trackback is listed a couple of comments above this one

That's not what he meant. This article sure looks like an equal number of comments and trackbacks as well. Definitely one of the most!

Deliciously evil contest John. Go splits on the backlinks and splits on the prize (I assume). Offer a platform that's wildly popular yet still comparatively inexpensive. No need to return the backlinks breaking the reciprocal circle. I love it.

Hey Wii, why dont you let people know that its a different competition altoghether instead of trying to mislead everyone?

Also anyone know where I can find out about more blog competitions like this one? I really feel like winning something!

John had a post a while ago covering other contests in his community.

Agreed. Though his tactic did get me to his site, for a little bit.

I'm glad you liked my wii contest idea.

It'll be too good to be true if I win a Wii...
oh man, i'm better start writing now!

oh... gosh, a Wii! What can stop me from joining it?
