I like the way you think, Edgar! That will be clever marketing on your behalf, and is bound to get you some decent traffic! I myself will be selfish and keep it all to myself…heheheh

An iPad as the prize? Awesome..How the winner will be decided? Traffic or what?.

Net Age | Web Design February 17, 2010 at 5:27 am

A draw at the 1st dot com pho in April. The more effort you go to, the more entries you will have, and hence a better chance of winning the draw…..

Bernardino Lima February 16, 2010 at 1:14 pm

Already made two tweets with my two accounts :)

How will be the winner decided? Random or maximum number of entries?

Buy 2 Pay for 1 Offer February 23, 2010 at 1:29 pm

I think this will pick by randomly.

But they would love to see maximum tweets :)

How many words is needed for the contest?

Yaro Starak Ebook February 16, 2010 at 4:16 pm

Hmm.. good point on the word count.

John, can you clarify if there’s a minimum/maximum?

JackNguyen.com February 16, 2010 at 10:48 pm

Don’t think there is a minimum word count, just as long as we have the appropriate links.

nice…john…..thanks for the chance to win an ipad

Kel February 16, 2010 at 8:29 pm

Hey John, I like the idea of winning an iPad.

Question, wasn’t it this sort of stuff where you ask for link backs that got you in trouble and banned from Google a few years ago or was it the you link to me and I link to you posts that did it?

chester February 16, 2010 at 10:29 pm

Sure, I’ll write a blog post about that. I was ready to give a lot more than that to get my hands on one so this is a no brainer. I better win!

Dana @ Blogging Update February 16, 2010 at 10:32 pm

The price is great. Surely many people want the ipad.

Buy 2 Pay for 1 Offer February 23, 2010 at 1:31 pm

Yes everyone is keeping an eye on iPad …

This is amazing product by Apple no doubt about this.

Marc February 16, 2010 at 11:10 pm

I see no point to this iPad thingy. Unless your a chic with a purse. But I still wouldn’t mind having one.

Weight Loss Diet Plans February 17, 2010 at 1:55 pm

Yea, I haven’t really figured out if it’s worth getting yet, there doesn’t seem much of a point to it.

S Ahsan February 17, 2010 at 12:03 am

A great contest to win the douchepad :)

Weight Loss Diet Plans February 17, 2010 at 1:54 pm

You pick the right URL.

And make the attractive title as well and do social bookmark it.

fishing organizations February 17, 2010 at 6:11 am

WooHoo! I’m in.

I’ll get to work immediately. One question: Do blog comments count for anything? Now, I’m not talking about spammy, off topic comments, but about ones that are on, say, contest blogs.
