Contest Blog Cat

Win 50 dollars from therookieblogger.com

The rookie blogger.com are having their first contest and are giving away a crisp 50 dollar bill. They are looking for more comments and traffic and by having a contest they hope to increase both. Heres the low down on the contest.

the rookieblogger will offer $50 via Paypal to the winner of the contest (I know its not a huge amount, but for a new blog it is). I will run the contest from today through the end of November. In order to be entered into the contest you only need to do two things - comment and/or give me some link love.

With the commenting I am not looking for “I want to be entered into the contest” and nothing else. I would like “real” comments. I am doing this to get things rolling here. For the link love I will leave it up to you what you want to write, but you need to link back to this post. A trackback showing up in the comments section of this post will suffice. If you can’t use the trackback option please send an email to contest@therookieblogger.com with the link to your blog showing where you wrote about the contest.

Performancing.com 2 Year Anniversary Treasure Hunt

This week marks the 2nd anniversary of Performancing’s launch. To celebrate, they are running a massive online treasure hunt and giving away lots of prizes (a growing list).The basic idea is this. They have selected a phrase that’s essential for online success. This phrase has 6 words. The ultimate goal is to identify this phrase and be the first to notify them of the correct answer in a private message.

Heres the contest details:

A ‘jumbled phrase’ treasure hunt. One sentence, 6 words, no order given. Here’s how it works:

1) 1 word per day, starting Thursday November 8th (the 2 year anniversary date)

2) Every word has a clue attached to it. On each day, you’ll be given that clue (an uncommon sentence) on Performancing.com (8 am EST). During the day, you need to find blog posts that have used this clue.

3) That blog post will have an outgoing link (inside the post text) - that site’s first letter is one of the letters of that day’s word.

For example, let’s say that the clue for Saturday is ‘exploding dell laptops in Cambodia’. During the day, you’ll use various search engines and blog search engines to track this phrase and find out who has used it. Suppose that you find two blogs using this phrase, and both have single links going out to http://www.wisdump.com and http://www.ebay.com.

If you take the first letter of each url, you’d get ‘w’ and ‘e’. Now it’s easy to make a word out of that particular combination, but in the actual treasure hunt you’ll have longer words and it’ll be harder.

To prevent the chance of sabotage, you can send a private message to Ryan to confirm that you’ve found the correct URLs.

4) Once you’ve received all 6 clues, you should be able to decipher the words and piece them together to make the final phrase (there will be more than one possible variation, but we’ll be accepting just one of them).

5) The first one to send it in via PM to Ryan wins all of the prizes.

6) Everyone else who’s able to send the answer in within the allotted time period (November 15th, 11:59 PM Eastern) will be entered in a prize drawing for one of each prize.

2. Free custom logo from Randa Clay (value $350)
3. 1-year free Professional MegaEdition subscription to PMetrics (value $99)
