I Won Pimp My Blog

By Simon On October 11, 2008 24 Comments

All of the readers of one of my favourite blogs, Balkhis, will know that each month he picks an email subscriber who comments on his blog regularly and will redesign their blog for free, which is worth somewhere between $550 and $1,200.

Now, I never win anything, so I was over the moon today when I went and visited Syed’s blog today and saw my name there. I have been a reader of Balkhis for months and months now, ever since I was introduced to his blog through a thread he made on DigitalPoint forums and I subscribed right away. It just goes to show that blog commenting isn’t only good for traffic and link building :) .

This means that very shortly, Otooo.com is going to have it’s very own custom design. It was just today I was thinking of having a custom design for my site.

Once again, I’d just like to thank Syed for this and encourage you to head over to his blog and check it out.


IronBlogger’s Holding a Huge Contest – $1,000 Of Prizes

By Simon On October 5, 2008 18 Comments

I headed over to IronBlogger today to catch up on some articles I have recently missed reading, and saw the first post was titled “IronBlogger’s First Contest Ever $1000+ Prizes“. I looked at the prizes, and am sure I want to win some (I haven’t won a contest in years). There are prizes such as licences of the Revolution theme and the SuperPress theme, as well as heaps of banner advertising, reviews, and 1 on 1 consultations with big bloggers like Jim from TheNetFool, Matt from MoneyBites and Jason from TheUniversityKid. There are also a few other small things such as Ebooks and videos to be won as well.

I personally am aiming to win a theme for this blog or consultation time with some of the big bloggers, but the great thing about this contest is that I have a good shot of winning. There is about 40 different prizes to be won and each person can only win one prize, so I think that if I have as many entries as I can I should be able to win something.

What You Have To Do To Win

There are 6 ways that you can enter, and you can choose to do all (135 points) or one (as small as 5 points).

  • Blog about the contest (like what I’m doing. I told you, I want to win something). The post must link back to the competition and be a minimum or 300 words. (50 points)
  • Put his banner up on your website for a minimum of 2 weeks. This is a link to the banner. (30 points)
  • Subscribe to his RSS feed by email  – This can be found on his post. (30 points)
  • Stumble or Digg the post I have given you a link to. (Not sure whether this is 15 points each or 15 points for both)
  • Add him on Twitter (5 points) – You can add me on Twitter if you want.
  • Drop him a comment on his blog, but don’t spam. (5 points)

As I said, I want to win, so I am going to be doing all of the above for maximum points. :)
