Entry Requirements: Leave a minimum of 5 unique (can not be the same on each posting) comments on 5 different blog posts, listed and linked to at the bottom of this note. Additional details about commenting are marked with an * below.
Start/End Date: 10.23.10 thru 10.29.10 at 8PM (Eastern Standard Time)
Qualifications: Entrants must be in the United States or Canada. We are unable to include entrants from other countries.
Winner: The winner will be selected using an electronic random generator, however, I have also included a special caveat. Please note that I will select one comment that I consider to be the "best" and that persons name will be entered 5 additional times, thereby increasing their odds at winning.
How to Play:
- Read some of the posts from the list below.
- Comment on a minimum of 5 different posts, individually.
- Complete by October 29th. All who have commented on atleast 5 of the blog posts listed below, between NOW and Friday at 8PM, will have their name entered in to the drawing.
- *Comments MUST relate to the post, be more than a few words, and at the very least a sentence. Comments should obviously be reflective of the content of the post, show value, offer varying viewpoints and/or simply speak to what was of interest to the reader*
- To emphasize point #4 even further, I will be selecting a "best" comment and the author of that comment will have their name entered an additional 5 times. ("Best" does not necessarily translate to flattery. To be considered "best" I will be looking for comments that offer additional value and viewpoint to the topic).
- Winner will be chosen and announced by 5PM on Halloween. [Please see very bottom for the not-so-fun legal notice pertaining to this contest]
Thank you and good luck!! ~ Sarah

What an awesome giveaway, Sarah ! So original, I've never seen one done this way, you're so smart ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tammy. I decided to do it this way because I am hoping to get a sense of which content areas readers like best. Seeing the whole list one inevitably goes to the five that strike them as most interesting. So I guess its a contest and a simple "data analysis" at the same time. :-) Thanks so much for participating Tammy; I truly appreciate it!!
ReplyDeleteYup, I always knew you were a smart one... great idea, I love data analysis lately!
ReplyDeleteYou're funny Michelle! Thank you again for participating!
ReplyDeleteI happened on your blog because a friend recommended it on Facebook. I was disappointed that there was no "About Me" link where I could learn more about you and your blog. Please consider adding it! :D
ReplyDeleteVery, very good point, thank you. You make me realize that most readers will not click through to my Google profile or to my website. Point well taken, I will do that!
ReplyDeleteThank you for being so upfront and offering up that feedback. I appreciate it very much. ~ Sarah
