Today is the last day to enter my evil blog contest to win a Microsoft Zune. The 30 Gig MP3 player is packed up and ready to be shipped to its new owner.
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’m looking for.
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!
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. However, you must get your entry in before midnight tonight!
Good luck everyone!

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...

I’m about to put in my entry right now!
Here’s another contest I’m running on my blog: http://www.thepiggybanker.com/misc/50-blog-link-contest-thepiggybankercom/
you definitely know how to promote yourself.
I wonder if john would like it when everyone starts to do similar stuff
who won?
CD Rates messaged me on MyBlogLog too….promote promote I guess….lol.
that would sometimes put me off
LOL. I got the same message.
I’m feeling lucky! Can’t wait to hear who wins it.
How many people have entered, John?
!#%!#
just think of it this way, there are more than 200 pingbacks on that entry about the Zune contest. So that makes 200 people PLUS the number of people who didn’t do a pingback or trackback and just linked to JohnChow.com
PLUS
the number of people who pingbacked but the pingback did not show up in the post since commenting is already disabled in that post.
so a rough estimate of a thousand.
I’m not going to enter, because I actually don’t need a new mp3 player, but it is a great prize. Good luck to all participants out there!
why not? if you win and since you already have a mp3 player, you can just give it through a contest too in your blog. haha
So,done…!
Good luck to all participants.
I don’t need a Zune. I’m happy with my Wii…
Besides, a brown Zune? I hope the new owner just flushes it… 
I wondered why Microsoft made a brown one. Seems like an interesting way to set itself apart from the iPod. Oh well, I guess that’s why they invented skins for these things.
BTW how many participants are there …the probability seems to be very low ..
Good luck to all …http://www.johnchow.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif
Better chance than the lottery
I think not too much, batch 61, let’s say 2 more batches, so 630 participants, .15%
You’re thinking of the “make money online” reviews. The Zune contest is different, because John doesn’t link back to you for it. So there is no way to know how many people have entered this one.
I must grab this opportunity, will finish it before midnight!
How about you save us all the trouble and just give it to me, huh? It would be so much easier…
good one, justin…
Hey, I was serious…
Yeah i just put my entry in! GL to all.
I will be online all day to know who won it!
Wonder who is the lucky one? Me? Hell No….!!
maybe but it would be tough luck since there are like hundreds or thousands of people who joined.
John, you look very innocent in the photo. Sad to give away your Zune?
just added my entry.
Win a Zune with John Chow

There is my link!
Darin
cool, count me in
John, how many are in?
You know what would be more evil, John — next time you feel like giving away something in a contest, think about giving it to your top commentator instead.
We’d really see the comments go through the roof in frequency if he started giving away prizes!
THERE IS ALREADY ENOUGH BS COMMENTS!
bad idea. that will just promote people to spam more. I’ve seen so many spam and one liners already because of the top commentators list.
how do you get the .cc url?
hehe – love the irony of your title – Microsoft Zunes are full of DRM evil.
Seriously though, the brown Zune is pretty awesome.
I blog for food.
And one more thing… I own both an iPod and a Zune… and the zune is sooo much better.
Coin: pronounced (Kw-a-hn)
Eric,
I haven’t taken the plunge yet for an mp3 player, what makes you say that the Zune is better than the iPod? I can’t decide which one to get.
yeah. the ipod is just popular because there are so many people using it and recommending it. but when it comes to the features? I go with Zune.
i WOULD LOVE TO HAVE IT!BUT MY BLOG HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT SUBJECT MATTER
Here’s my entry:

so, who won? when are you gonna draw?
it is still april 30 on john’s place. so I guess, the result of this evil blog contest will be posted 2 or 3 hours from now.
John looks so smug with the Zune. But should he be? I’ve heard it’s mediocre.
so who is the winner?
it’s just 9:30.. don’t be too excited. He might be still asleep.
yeah! who is the winner!
Come on John,
I know you wanna give it to my Pet.
Just end the suspense and send it to Vexa.
thanks
tim
Oh it seems I missed this contest
