http://meandmydrum.com – Mark Sierra, author and owner of MeAndMyDrum.com is hosting a large contest that consists of over $800 dollars quality products and services. Some of the prizes up for grabs includes a full free year of web hosting provided by HostGator.com, a free developer license for a premium WordPress theme valued at $299 by Solostream, and a free copy of Market Samurai valued at $149.
How do you win these prizes? Simple. Mark Sierra wants to grow his blog like everyone else. To enter for a chance to win these prizes, Mark asks that you subscribe to his RSS Feed or his Newsletter. If you are already subscribed, then you can write a nice post about his contest.
My post was done voluntarily. I am not entering the contest because I want other people to have a greater chance at scoring the goods. I am just the messenger of good news.
The contest started on October 28th, 2008 and it will end midnight on November 18th, 2008. Visit the contest page for full details.

Great contest. I’ll be joining later on. Can’t do now because I’m not at home
I awnt the hostgator hosting! ahaha. BTW, which hostgator plan?
Mark was able to get the Swamp plan… which is the step up from the Baby plan… pretty decent prize if you asked me. HostGator.com is great.
That’s great to hear, Hussein. The hosting plan is their top-notch one: Swamp, a.k.a. Business.

Well we can do that if you’d like… what I meant to say is that I will donate the ad spot to give you another price to be won.
You can choose though which one you prefer. I will donate the 468×60 slot for two weeks. You can use that how you see fit. use it yourself to promote the contest or use it to give to the people who are entering into the contest.
Already with HG (reseller account), I wonder if we can pick and choose if we win

My apologies, Garry. It was late and I guess my fatigue got in the way. I will definitely add your donation to the contest. Very cool of you.

I run contests on one of my blogs on a regular basis. However, the prizes are usually books that I’ve just read, so… yanno, not much of a traffic builder there.
I’m getting some decent interest in my new contest, thanks to a few retweets from friends. However, it’s a non-monetized blog, so… does that even count?
I do have a few ideas in mind for New Blog, but I think the contests will have to wait until December when NaNoWriMo is over.
