- A blog post about the contest with a link to this post – 8 Tickets
- Link to a sponsor that’s inside your desired package. You can include it in the blog post about this contest – 6 Tickets
- Link to any of my posts. You can include this in the post about my contest too – 4 Tickets
- To those who don’t have a blog or a website, subscribe to my RSS feed via email using the form on the sidebar. Include the email you used to subscribe in the comment – 2 Tickets
Contest Mechanics
The contest will be in a lottery system. There are only two steps to join, two steps!
- Grab a ticket (above)
- Drop a comment on this post and tell me what you’ve done and what package you want to bet your tickets on.
Let’s say you generated eight tickets, you can bet five tickets to package one and three to package two. Or you can bet seven tickets to package seven and the rest to package five. Any way you like.
Here’s an example comment:
I posted about this contest on my blog http://www.linkofyourpost.com/. That’s eight tickets for me. I want to bet five tickets to package one and three tickets to package two.
I will choose the winner for each package by drawing a ticket from a box – literally. It will be in a video post so all of you will see how it goes.
Of course the more tickets you have, the more chances of winning. Join now, this part of the contest will end March 9, 2008. Best of luck everyone.
Have done the first 3 parts to gain 18 tickets:

Hello Carlo! How are you doing? Here’s the link to your contest => http://secretsofonlinemoney.blogspot.com/2008/03/carlo-cab-is-giving-away-over-8000-in.html
By the way, I have done the first 3 parts to gain 18 tickets. I am betting 9 tickets on Package #1 and another 9 tickets on Package #3.
Thanks! Really appreciate it alot! :)
Dude can you add another prize? 300 Ec from me Thanks.
I’ll probably enter! Good luck with your contest, you really got a lot of support…

Well, it seems too competitive. But I dunno to design any banner, even if I win any. So count me for any package. I’ll try to provide ad banners from some external help. I’m giving you the link to you in the post itself. Link to sponsor is for iPencil, so you may note my preference for Package Two, but anything will be OK for me :) . So 8+6=14 tickets in all for me.
Check http://www.thecenturytimes.com
Ooops, but you din’t mention for how long these links need to be functional to qualify:) ? …I mean when are you going to verify all these?
