It’s Competition Time! Win FREE Advertising, $50 Amazon Card & $25 iTunes Card
To help promote my latest web site/blog, I’ve decided to run a rare cymru66.com competition with three great prizes on offer –
First prize: a 20×20 pixel advertising block (400 pixels) on the I Want A Volkswagen Bus web site valued at $80
Second prize: $50 Amazon.com gift card via email
Third prize: $25 iTunes gift card via email
Before I share the competition requirements with you, here’s some background information to the I Want A Volkswagen Bus web site where I’m looking for advertisers to purchase pixel space to promote their own web site, blog or online business.
Pixels can be purchased for just 20¢ each for a period of three years from July 1st, 2008. I’ve already sold 2000 pixels (admittedly 400 of them were to promote cymru66.com), have had lots of interest, but still have tons left over waiting to be snapped up. The smallest block of advertising available is 10×10 pixels for $20, which considering the site will be around for at least three years is a bargain! (I think so anyway)
The site is starting to receive some great traffic (1500 unique visitors the past couple of days), and already has a presence on the major search engines.
Anyway, feel free to browse the site and while you’re there, make sure you check out the all-new Volkswagen Bus blog.
Anyway, back to the competition details.
Requirements:
1. Subscribe to the I Want A Volkswagen Bus Blog RSS Feed by clicking here, or if you’d prefer to receive site updates via email, go to the I Want A Volkswagen Bus blog and enter your email address in the box above the “Subscribe” button.
2(a). EITHER: write a short blog post about the competition with at least one link back to the competition blog post.
2(b). OR: if you don’t have a blog, consider some or all of the following options — spread the word to your friends and family via email, submit the competition details to one of the big social sites like StumbleUpon, Digg or Reddit, promote the competition on a relevant forum or newsgroup (please, no spamming though) or some other unique way you can think of.
3. Correctly answer any 3 (three) of the following questions:
(a) Which 2 countries flags are featured on the main page of the I Want A Volkswagen Bus web site?
(b) Who, according to the links page, is Europe’s largest supplier of restoration parts for air cooled Volkswagens?
(c) How much does a 40×20 pixel advertising block cost on the I Want A Volkswagen Bus web site?
(d) Name 2 books featured on the books page written by Laurence Meredith.
(e) How much did the Volkswagen Bus Billiards Table featured on my blog cost?
4. Send me an email (steve.speirs@gmail.com) with the subject line “I Want A Volkswagen Bus Competition”. Let me know how you subscribed to the blog (RSS or email), how you promoted the competition and most importantly, the answers to the 5 questions.
The competition will close at midnight (EST) on July 31st, 2008. The three winners will be chosen randomly on the weekend of August 2nd/3rd and contacted via email. There will also be a blog post announcing the lucky winners.
The winner of the First Prize FREE advertising will need to provide a 20×20 pixel image/icon to display on the I Want A Volkswagen Bus web site, but I’ll explain the pixel upload process to the winner after the competition has ended. Good luck and please let me know if you have any questions.
Update 8/1/08: Contest has now closed. Winners will be announced on the 2rd or 3rd of August. Thanks to all who participated!
