Win $5,348 In Cash and Prizes from Winning The Web

written by John Chow on March 10th, 2008

Gyutae Park over at Winning The Web has came up with another awesome contest. He is giving away $5,348 in cash and prizes put up by well know companies.

Park has done a text book case in how to stage a contest that will generate a lot of buzz and get a lot of people to enter. And the best part is, his out of pocket cost is almost nothing (aside from ordering this review) because all the prizes are sponsored. If you’re thinking of doing a contest, Winning The Web is a good example to study. You should enter not just to try and win a prize, but also to learn how a contest like this can help increase your traffic.

Prizes Up For Grab

  • $650 Cash from Azoogle Ads
  • $500 Cash from PepperJam Network
  • $250 Cash from NeverblueAds
  • $200 Cash from BidVertiser
  • 1 Full Conference Pass to Affiliate Summit East ($949 value)
  • 3 Month Membership to Aaron Wall’s SEO Training Program ($300 value)
  • 6 Month Membership to SEOmoz Pro ($249 value)
  • 26 Week Internet Marketing Plan from Purple Internet Marketing ($800 value)

  • 1 Paid Review on Winning the Web - sponsored by 1 Cool File ($100 value)
  • 20 Winning the Web T-shirts (20 winners - $9 value each)

The winners of all of the individual prizes will be selected by a random draw on March 31 - there will be at least 39 winners in total (including 20 free t-shirts to the participants with the most entries).

To participate in the contest, all you have to do is perform certain actions that gain you more entries. The more entries you have, the higher your chances of winning a prize. If I win anything, I’ll give it away to a reader. Good luck!

This looks like a great contest and definitely a great way to build traffic to any website.

I wonder though how was he able to get these sponsorships? Direct deals with the company giving out prizes or some other method?

I blogged about it. I will comment on your site tomorrow and link back to the blog post. This is the craziest contest I have ever seen. How did you get all those sponsored prizes?

It probably involves some heavy networking and a good reputation. Either way, you’re able to leverage those assets into a great contest that benefits your readers (prizes), you (more traffic), and your sponsors (exposure, new sign-ups). It’s a win, win, win.

I love contests I may try it.

What are the ads on the top of your blog that appear…way at the top? What company places those ads? They appear to be viral as they change each visit or am I the only one who sees them :oops:

It doesn’t hurt to try. It’s free to enter. A blog post gets you 10 entries, and you can keep doing things to gain more entries (like commenting, etc.).

Some of those networks require you to be signed up with them, like Azoogle ads for example.

Cash is the only way to go in contests in my opinion. Money always talks. ;)

Yea, money is the biggest motivator. But high-value items (like a premium blog design) are enticing, too.
