Contest Winner To Increase Traffic

On August 26th, 2007 I announced a contest that would help my blog increase traffic. The reward for participating and winning this contest would be for me to display your 10 most recent RSS syndicated posts on my sidebar. Today I have a winner! It was CLOSE!!! The difference between first and second place was by ONE VISIT!

… and the runner up, second place just missed it by 1 visit! This blog is hot, people from all over the blogosphere are talking about it. Congratulations on second place goes to…

The Prize Blog

theprizeblog

This super dooper blog sent me 990 visit without even batting an eye. I think the author just wrote a post about my contest. Wow! Nice work and thank you! Be sure to visit www.theprizeblog.com and let the author know about coming in second place!

This Contest Was A Huge Success

The result of this contest delivered over 100,000 visits to my blog this month. That officially puts this blog into the 100k club! I want to thank everyone for helping drive traffic to my blog.

Mark, you won the contest! However, I no longer have a sidebar on my individual post pages. I can only display your most recent post on my home page. However, please contact me as I have CASH OFFER for you! Congrats man… and thank you so much for your campaign! In addition to the cash offer, I will give you a choice in taking the cash and running. or I can display both MeAndMyDrum as well as a second blog of your choice on my home page, plus I’ll run a banner ad site wide! Contact me and we’ll talk about it. Congrats again for winning!

Are You Ready For The Next BANG!!!

Timing is important! Timing is so very important! And there is one thing that I don’t do… “Waste Time!”

Immediately… right now! I have a brand new contest. I just launched it a few hours ago. How would like it if I was to purchase, host, design, launch, market and PROMOTE you next blog? How would you like it if I invested in over $2000 dollars of my own personal time and professional services into this blog?

Do I Have Your Attention?

I consider everyone who reads my blog to be a successful blogger. However, the common problem most successful bloggers have is not a problem with popularity. It’s a problem with the money! The problem is the fact that you don’t make any! I am not trying to sound rude… I am just calling it how I see it! 99 of out 100 bloggers who WANT to make money online, DON’T! Again, I am not boasting or bragging because I am one of the bloggers that do make money… it’s quite the opposite really, because I really want to help you.

I am not going to sit here everyday and blog about how rich I am becoming… I am not going to sit here and rub it in your face and make you feel like shit by broadcast my income report. I am here to help you guys. I truly want more people to enjoy what I enjoy.

All in all, the point I am trying to make is the fact that there is NO MONEY!! There are tons of blogs and tons of smart people running these blogs, but zero dollars. I can’t stand to sit back and watch this anymore. I know that you have busted your ass for a long time trying to make money from your blog. But there is NO MONEY to show for it.

In process though, you have learned a lot. You have learned how to tweak many things in WordPress, you have learned about search engine optimization and search engine marketing, you have learned about social networking and ways to increase your traffic. All in all… you are a successful blogger, but you have ZERO money to show for it.

All of that is going to change…

Two things are going to be happening. One, I am going to be totally staying focused on helping bloggers find success in blogging. I am staying on topic and I am going to be releasing a huge series of posts on this blog that will walk you through some MAJOR tips on doing what I do. The second thing I am doing NOW, is my next contest…

Check out my next contest. I want to spend over $2000 dollars on you! I want you to be not only a successful blogger, but one that makes money too! Click here to learn about how you can finally get a break in blogging and make some long over due and hard earned money.

Holy cow!!! That’s pretty cool! Glad to know I helped out. I’ll email you my answers. Woo-hoo, thanks!

You are welcome… I’ll keep an eye out for your email. In the mean time, you might want to check out my latest contest here.

Over a 100,000 and your RSS didn’t really go up too substantially. I figure it went up 20 or so. That’s a lot of visits and not a lot of subscribers. Whats your take?

Oh my god that is so crazy! I came so close! Let me say congratulations to the winner. Hopefully I will win the next one.

Ok, I have to admit defeat. And now, I graciously bow down to the master and ask that he not treat me too badly after his crushing win.

Congrats Mark, I bow to the master.

And congrats to prizeblogger. I’m proud of you both

Oh SNAP!!!

I totally forgot about that “little battle” you guys had going! OOOOOooopppss!!

I also forgot about the $20 dollars you sent me to manipulate the numbers!

Did you want a refund?

(I AM JOKING!!!)

I really shouldn’t joke like that, as there could always be someone who only reads to the third line and starts seeing all “RED” and fails to see the remainder of the comment! LOL!!

7 Christine { 09.21.07 at 12:06 am }

Keep it up, funny man. LOLOLOL

Actually, I couldn’t think of anyone I’d rather lose to. I only say that now, because I’m working on winning your latest contest.

I don’t give up that easy. LOLOLOL

Over $2000 dollars worth of professional services in at stake…

If you guys cut each others throats over a sidebar ad… I really hate to see what will happen with this current contest! LOL!!!

Maybe not… Maybe I could charge people to watch the blood bath! :)

How much should the tickets cost?
