I’ve experienced a giant bump in traffic suddenly. I am hoping that it is because of the refreshing new theme I spent about 6 hours modifying last night, but I am thinking word may finally be getting out about this contest. I’ve seen my subcribers (by email) jump from just 3 all the way to 8. Remember to activate the subscription by finding the link in your email from my Feedburner Feed. As of now there are two of you that need to do that. My mother thinks she can win my money, too. Sorry Mother, you are the one supposed to be giving me money. Hahaha. I know I am a horrible son.
There is an amazing write up by Wogan May, that you can find here. Now this is the kind of review I need (and from a PR2 blog!). And he isn’t just writing on that one blog, he is writing another post for more entries! Remember, a post and a link on your blog gets you 10 extra chances to win! Thanks Wogan May. You have 11 chances to win, and maybe more coming soon.
She brings the total chance count to 30. This means a couple of you have a 1 in 3 chance to win. Still, a one in 30 chance is a big percent, and the winner is completely random, so anything can happen.
The ways to get chances to win:
- Subscribe by e-mail. (Required - 1 chance)
- Write a blog post about my contest. (Optional - 5 chances) (Check out May’s review for my blog for a good idea of a valid post. He goes above and beyond)
- Link me in your blogroll (Optional - 5 chances)
Winning a contest has never been so simple.
I get the money for this contest from all my affiliate programs. Look on the right sidebar (or click here) and sign up for any affiliate programs you don’t have with my links. If you earn money, I earn money for this contest every month. It’s a win-win situation. Do not go click-spam on my ads (Do you want me to lose another affiliate program like I did with Adsense?), or sign up for any programs you will not use. I will give the winner 10% of what I earn. If I earn 100 dollars, the winner gets $10. If I earn $1,000 dollars, the winner gets $100 dollars. If I become the next John Chow, I will have to give out about $3,000 dollars a month (after hiring a team to check all the trackbacks, subscriber spam, and those kinds of things). Easy money for you from my pocket.
I’m contemplating on adding a PayPal donation button to the blog. I would ask for small amounts only, specifically to build up the blog contest cash prize. Any donations would be worth 10-50% towards the contest. I am still thinking about that number. What do my readers think? It would kind of be a way to counter-balance from the thing Google did to me.

Lol man. It’s “he” not “she”. Just thought I’d clear that up, heh.
You might want to edit that post before it’s seen by too many people. And yes, I will update my About page to eliminate all that confusion.
Man. Gender Oopsie.

Sorry, Wogan. I thought Wogan was just some wierd word in another language. Fixed that up for you. Erk. I’ll have to write a post about this. I’ve learned my lesson.
I sincerely apologize and hope it doesn’t affect your subscription to Blogosis.

Justin, your subscription are not on my inbox.. what’s going on?? I see new post just by visiting your blog.. but no msg on my inbox

Jack, make sure you activated the subscription by checking that email that Feedburner should have sent you. Feedburner is showing me you already did that, but I think sometimes it sends out slower. Make sure to check your junk mail, as well. Might be hidden in there, but I hope my blog is not junk. Haha.
I reactivated your subscription so maybe it will help.
