Help Me Win A Ruff PC and You Might Win It

written by John Chow on December 30th, 2007

As some of you may know, I am in the final round of a Ruff PC giveaway. I have stated that if I win the Ruff PC laptop, I would give it away to a lucky John Chow dot Com reader. To win the contest, I need to have the most votes by January 4, 2008.

If you want a shot of winning a very cool laptop, then vote me and tell all your friends to vote for me. If I don’t win the vote off, then there no way for you to win either. You can vote for John Chow dot Com using the widget below. Please vote now!

Help me win by putting the above poll on your blog and telling your readers to vote for me. Use the following codes:

  1. Is it just me, or have I seen this post before :?:

  2. No offense to Tech Treak, but how in the world is that guy beating you?

  3. Hrm looks like you finally have some competition

  4. Time for John to pull out some Evil to win this one… :twisted:

  5. I voted for you, I hope you win

  6. I voted again for John Chow but it seem the TechTreak guy is far away… :razz:

  7. I voted and voted and voted and yet Tech Treak is still ahead. Damn! Must be a way to use automate it using proxy bots…. :twisted: but that will be cheating. :evil: Good luck John on winning and the others on getting a Ruff if John wins.

  8. John Chow dot Com all the way! (yeah I’m a suck up :mrgreen: )

  9. Hey John,

    I am voting away, good luck, hopefully I win the laptop LOL :lol:

  10. it doesn´t look too good till now but i have voted fore you again good luck

  11. Voted for you again John but I agree with Zac, it’s time to pull out some heavy artillery :)

    Alan Johnson

    PS: once again, I don’t need the laptop, feel free to donate it to an organization of choice should you pick this comment as the winner.

  12. I see that you’ve placed an ad banner at the top of each post John, but is it too late? Techtreak is beating you by over double the votes.

    I’m with Zac too, flex some muscle john.

    • There is still plenty of time (until January 4) for things to develop in John’s favor. About 24 hours ago, he had over 80% of the total votes. Since we are not talking about tens of thousands of votes here (there are less than 1k total votes at the moment of writing), just about anything can happen.

      Alan Johnson

    • He still have the chance as long as there are readers who will vote for him. :grin:

      • I see that he has gained about 200 other votes since the last time I’ve visited and, since his blog has a lot more traffic than the main competitor (who also seems to have gained about 200 votes since yesterday), he should be able to win as long as the other person plays fair.

        Alan Johnson

  13. I voted for you. I suppose I could vote for you again, but it might cost you. :lol:

  14. Just voted for you John, hope you win.
    ps. My delivery address is …. <- Nah, you will get that if I win :grin:

  15. I voted twice, do I get 2 chances to win the laptop?

  16. DID I already vote for you to become president well I vote for you to get the laptop because you are one cool dude
    Ps. I hop I win and If you guys want win the laptop and if you guys need help with something I will be willing to help alanj878@yahoo.com even though i am a Noob

  17. You should put the stumbleupon and other links in a more noticeable place maybe with icons! It took me going to the “TechTreak” website and noticing his stumbleupon icon right on top before I came back to check and see if you had them! I neglected to scroll to the bottom of your post and missed them.

    Just a thought…

  18. just sent a vote your way. I hope you win!

  19. I voted for ya in the final round….good luck!!

  20. I’ve got my vote in… good luck John! I’ll be writing a blog post about it in the next day or two.

  21. Vote you too John. But you’re behind techtreak who has only 192 readers by almost 250 votes. I hope you win too :)

  22. Voted for john before. Voted for john now! :)

  23. I voted for you John I want you to win!!! :D

  24. voted, good luck John…you got some catching up to do

  25. Voted for you and will tell you later how i will get you more votes ;)

  26. Damn man, the other guy is a couple hundred ahead!

  27. You have my vote John, I hope you Win you only need 251 votes to win it right now :roll:

  28. Luis Fernando Imperator

    yeah, voted!

  29. Yup, like I mentioned in the last post, there’s no way Techtreak could have that many votes. The review isn’t that good, so I find it hard to believe people are just voting honestly for his review.

    He hardly has a single comment on his entire blog, so he sure isn’t getting it from his readers. Either he set something up, has another website, or the contest is rigged so they don’t actually have to give away a computer , lol.

  30. Btw, all three contest phases are being added together. So you need a couple hundred to catch up from the last two rounds, and another couple hundred for this round. :!:

  31. Voted.What happened to your hosting.The blog was not accessible for me for like 30 min ?

  32. Already voted in the other post. Go John … go go go

  33. I had voted for you before and good luck to you. :smile:

  34. Just for the records I have already voted. And you need to pull some shoemoney mumbo jumbo to beat this guy.

  35. I voted for you, John.

  36. Voted, now you have 339, but still second. Also have write a post about it in my french blog and add the pool

  37. So here is from me John – http://money.propeller.com/story/2007/12/31/win-a-ruff-pc-laptop-by-just-voting

    Also will post in my blog now :D
    Hope your review wins ;)

  38. I voted, but you got a long way to go to beat the current leader.

  39. i have already given my votes, cheers!

  40. hey John , voted and good luck. ill re post this on my blog

  41. 我投了你一票. 祝福你新年快乐

  42. Yet another vote for you, John Chow.
    As always, your articles ARE extremely interesting and I sure hope you could win this competition. You should be “Blogger of the Year” – noone writes as much and as widely as yourself.
    Happy New Year, and keep up the good work in 2008 :-)
    PS: Postage will be expensive when you send it off to Denmark. :-D

  43. Hello john,i voted for u twice.I am syre you will win as all of us are with you.

  44. Joe

  45. Good Look John.
    Hopefully, will see you win this poll. I just voted for you!
    Happy New Year BTW :)

  46. I bet the other guy is laughing his head off with all our comments about how he’s doing it :)

  47. I got your back John, you’ve got to get ahead of TechTrek!

  48. I got your back John, but you’ve got to get ahead of TechTrek!

  49. haha! wow alot of John Chow supporters. I just did a post to urge my readers to vote for john too!

    I even placed a posting on innit.nuffnang.com to generate more traffic to my blog so as to propagate this contest.

    Gonna vote using as much PC as I can get my hands on.

    ALL THE BEST EVERYONE!

If this was used in an HTML element’s ’src ‘ attribute value, John would secure a vote from every visitor to his site.

    Now that’s evil! ;-)

  51. I voted! I rather you give the Laptop to somebody who needs it rather than the other guy keeping it for himself. Lets hope you win.

  52. Vote for John #417 votes :mrgreen:
    TechTreak (681 votes) is leading now.
    Go John Go!!

  53. Great giveaway. I post at http://myblogcontest.com/vote-for-johnchow-and-win-ruff-pc/

    Submit your blog contest and find blog contests at MyBLogContest.com :mrgreen:

  54. Voted for you again, John.

  55. Tech Treak has been leading for 2 days now. I wonder where he gets his voters. He isn’t offering the laptop as a prize if he’d win it. But he has that thing on his blog “help me get a laptop” or something. Anyways if all RSS subscribers would vote for John here… :D

  56. I’m not suggesting cheating or anything but John your total vote count on that widget is raising steadily but the tech site votes are jumping 40-50 at a time.

    I was playing with the widget code to see if it’s compatible with another application and so I was seeing fresh results for a few hours last night. Anyone else notice the same? He sure is giving you a run on this one.

  57. Looks to me like some John Chow haters are keeping you down. :sad:

    Oh well, I did my part and I’m rooting for you.

  58. It was John 417 votes & TechTreak 681 votes

    Now John 442 votes & TechTreak 694 votes
    So speed of gaining votes is good for John..

  59. with 14k plus readers John should be blowing this guy out of the water.

  60. you can vote on :cool: my 2 blog – too
    http://ppp-payperplay.blogspot.com/
    and :shock: (still!!)
    Afloco Fan Club
    John , Tech Trake is a litle better?!

    I wish you HAPPY NEW YEAR

  61. Sorry, :smile: Agloco and not :lol: Afloco

  62. And John Chow pulls into the lead! :razz:

  63. Thats’ sudden hit up of votes..
    Major changes in just 3 hours.. Go on John :D
    Hope my support and help through blogs and propeller helps :)

  64. It looks like Shoemoney pulled out a big gun for ya John, he put the widget up on his site and asked his readers to vote for you… an instant 300 votes always helps, you’re in the lead now :)

    It pays to have a good network of friends.

  65. I voted for us… I hope WE win!!!

    Take care and Happy New Year

    I guess everyone was expecting that!:D

  68. Heh…it’s still early, but the lead is looking good now. :)

    You’ve got my vote…keep the 133t hax0rs ready just in case. (And may god strike me down for actually having typed “133t speak”)

  69. I just voted and John is now starting to kick ass.
    John Chow – 1711 votes
    Tech Treak – 700 votes
    Good luck John, hope I you win.

  70. I voted from all my ip’s. 1700 isn’t much yet for so may feeds. Lot of people taking a vacation from blogging this week? I sure could use the PC though.

Hell, I will not even go to sleep until I make sure you win the damn Laptop. :razz: . And it’s not even about the laptop anymore. It’s about popularity. And we all know that you are the most popular guy on the net these days. You are like the GOD of the internet. This dude ain’t gonna win nothing. :mad:

  135. Well, it looks like currently you have the lead. Good job man. I told you you are gonna win this.

  136. 67,029% I just still vote, but not sure to understand all of the principe of the votes!! probably because it is not my langage :wink:
    But the most important is “Attention à la Terre” isnt’it? :razz: that’s the winner : the earth !!

  137. WOW! It seems the poll closed and You won!
