Nothing puts a smile on my face like getting free stuff. There is no better reward than receiving something for next to nothing. Most of the blogging community feels the same way about this and have used it to generate lots of new traffic by running contests. We can all thank the evil genius John Chow for this. A few months ago John was running a promotion for some free pens. Numerous individuals entered his contest not for the free pens but for a chance to have their blog promoted. Unfortunately for me I was not interested in taking part of this promotion (man was I wrong).
Luckilly all is not lost David Culpepper from PureBlogging.com is taking it up a notch. Currently he is running a contest for a chance to win a 8GB iPod. This is a great opportunity even if I don’t win the iPod it gives me the opportunity to help support, and participte on one of my favourite blog’s. David posts regularily to his blog and there is a wide variaty of useful information available for anyone thinking of starting their own blog. I’m still develeping my blog but I can’t help but take part in this contest.
