The entries to win a 24″ wide screen LCD monitor are pouring in. Since posting about the evil contest less than 48 hours ago, I have received over 100 entries. I don’t want to take a guess at how many entries I’ll have by the July 31 deadline. If you’re looking at the numbers, you maybe thinking that your chances of winning isn’t so great. Well, I’m about to double your odds.
My hosting Canada web host, BlueFur, is hosting a separate contest to give away a 22″ wide screen LCD monitor. To enter, you just have to vote for them as Best Blogging Host in the Blogger’s Choice Awards. Right now, they have only 33 votes so your chances of winning isn’t too bad.
While you’re there, why not vote for me as well? I’ve been nominated for Best Blog About Blogging and Best Blog of All Time. Thanks to Marc Comeau of Last Blogger for nominating me. Marc would like to ask you to vote for his blog as the Worst Blog of All Time.

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...

WOW! Over 100 Entries already? I think a 22” Monitor is just as good…
LOL if it’s a free monitor, then it’s really good.
Id take any monitor that is free.
Sounds good to me… Placing my vote now
I’m in. This giveaway spree is awesome!
I’ll take even a 20″ if it is free
I voted, now give me the LCD
Voted! Blue Fur is already up to 50
I’ve sadly fallen way behind in my category as I was surprised to find some really awful blogs working their way towards the top
hey,Marc,i vote your blog to be the worst blog for all the time.
I voted accordingly. My user name is Swelton123
Good luck friend.
Done, done, and done! What are the chances of winning both, I wonder — slim to none I guess. I really want that LCD, man LOL.
john its really annoying that your trying to mess with statistics. by making this contest it is no better then bribing people. bloggers choice awards are about choice, you can suggest to people that they vote for something but when you offer to give them something that is different. please dont ignore this comment either.. i want to hear your response and how you justify this as ethical.
There’s no rule against it and BlueFur is not the only one doing it. I never brother to post about it when I got nominated over a month ago because frankly, there’s no point in winning. You don’t get anything other than saying you won the blogger’s choice award. Who wants to win an award from PayPerPost? I sure don’t. It’ll makes it sound like I endorse them, which I don’t.
k, as long as you dont win anything i guess its fair..
you underestimate John’s evilness. He wins more traffic and maybe PR
Awesome, i’ll try both!
Mitch’s is just a few points behind — way to go!
I voted!!
good luck
Done !
user name “d3bugg3r” what now ? who do i have to kill ?
I voted too – and also for John Chow. Oh, you had so few votes? I don’t get that. This is the best blog of all time
The entries posted after you posted this. lol
I just updated my user name at Bloggers Choice to StephenWeltondotcom and did a posteroo!
Voted for BlueFur for Best Blogging Host!
I’m so sad with the fact that all my blogs are in portuguese. There’s no way John could decifer them…
I know you alow non-english language blogs to participate in this contest. But what’s the point of writing a review in another language?
Beijinho (kiss)
You guys should have made them both 24″. What if the same person wins both monitors? Then they will be uneven.
That person would need to go Vegas if that happened …
That happened to me with Google a couple of months ago. All of a sudden my google referals were next to nothing. It took about a month to get them back to normal.
The same with Adsense. Sometimes they’ll just give me the same old ads and they don’t get clicked. And then, for no reason, the CPR triples for a few weeks. They really know how to mess with one’s mind.
You are taking advantage of Bluefur over Blogger’s Choice Awards
I like this contest better! Put down a vote from me.
How can they know I voted so they can put my name on the list of names to sort out?
How can they know if I voted so they can put my name on a list of all voters and then take a name out?
They’ll send an email afterwards asking for my address for shipping?
Go Bluefur Go!
answer please…?
