The only reason that he is making it so simple to bring home those attractive prizes is that he wants to make winning easy for his readers.

So what are you waiting for? Submit your application for the contest

Sometimes there are offers on the Web that are worth trying. Today I am going to mention one of these offers.

Charter is running a sweepstake where you can win a Nintendo Wii. But that’s not all. Continue reading to know more.

If you are interested in winning a Nintendo Wii, then you just need to visit the sweepstakes site, register with your email, and give some info about yourself (street address, zip code…). The winner will win the Nintendo wii console with 5 games (Boxing, Baseball, Tennis, Golf and bowling).

But that’s not all. Not only you can win that marvelous console system, but you are given the opportunity to participate on an auction for a Charter High-Speed® Internet for Life! So if this has already interested you in participating then Click Here for a Chance to Win a Nintendo® Wii™!

Off course, for obvious reasons, you can bid only if you qualify for the offer, meaning this, that you must live in a Charter serviceable area. You can find the answer for this by simply giving your zip code. The auction will start on March 12 and the starting bid will be $12. Pre registrations are now open.

Remember:

You can win a Nintendo wii, a cable modem + Wireless Router, a professional installation for the fastest internet speed in your area for life!!!!

Finally i decided what to do with the 3000 entrecard credits i have.

500 credits were donated and the rest of the credits i have will be used to perform a contest here.

For the most sceptics here it is the proof that i have the necessary credits:

What do you need to do to enter this contest:

It is very simple, and the more you do, better your chances to win…

1- Subscribe my Rss feed by email -> 1 entry This is the minimum you must do to participate.

2- Write a sincere review about this blog. Minimum word count is 100. -> 5 entries

3- You can increase your chances by buying entries. Price: 10 entrecard credits for 1 entry.

The prize will be 2000 EC for the winner, and 1000 EC for the best review of this blog.

The minimum you must do is subscribe the rss feed by email. How easy could that be?

For the review, i ask you to do sincere review, if you have only bad things to say then say it :p im very open to suggestions that may come from reviews. It is a small review you need to do and it won’t take to much of your time, the entries given and potential prize will make your time worth.

You must write in this post what have you made to enter the contest.

The minimum participants for this contest is 20. And will last until 8th of march. If the number of participants isn’t enough i will expand the duration of the contest.

I may change the terms of the contest, depending on the feedback i have.

Hope you all had a good weekend! And i want to say that the $20 payment to the contest winner has been made! Here is the proof:

And know, it is time to analyse the results of the contest.

The main objective was to bring more traffic, and i think it was achieved. Look at the Alexa graph:

The contest began 29th november, and since then the traffic has increased, having the total traffic more than doubled in certains days.

According to google analytics, on december 10 the blog had a peak of 115 unique visitors. The normal was around 20-30 unique visitors a day, and the majority of traffic source was from the United States.

In conclusion, the contest had a positive effect on the blog. I reached 32 rss subscribers last week, the unique visitors per day has substantially increased, even after the contest ended

The only negative aspect it’s that with the increase in traffic there hasn’t been an increase in revenue.  But for now my main interest is increase traffic. Let’s see how does this continues. But one thing is for sure. More contests will happen

January 2, 2008 and the blog contest winner has been found! But before i tell you who won i will just say again how the winner was selected.

The total entries for the contest were 15.

as i said before, i went to random.org and placed the parameters to generate one integer number from 1 to 15.

The lucky winner will have to contact me through the contact form placed in the top of the page and give me the paypal adress where he wants me to send the prize. I will give the winner 7 days to reclaim the prize ( i think that it is enough time).

Enough talking. Who won the contest?

The lucky entry was number 6 and belongs to Mrgee Blog! Congratulations!

MrGee.info is a blog that talks about making money online, but also talks about games, music and movies and a lot of internet stuff.

Visit his blog and congratulate him

hello fellow bloggers! im here writing this post from my cell phone in this cold sunday afternoon. my fingers are freezing that i am having trouble to write this post. lol this year has been a weird year in for metereologists. in portugal we had a mild summer. and now it’s almost winter. the cold is here but the rain isn’t. the lands are dry. weather change is here. and i congratulate the UN for the agreement made in bali. well it is time for a short update of the contest. 3 more participants added!

We are in the middle of the month and it is time for an update of the contest we are running this month.

SO far we have 4 participants. Which i think it is a low participant number because it is so easy to participate.

Blogs that announce contests have been adding to their database this contest, and i have some traffic coming from them, but we can do better. If you know someone that owns a blog don’t forget to ask them to participate. They only loose 2 minutes to apply.

Also, i ask you, if you apply for the contest, don’t forget to place your aplication on the contest post. This is very important!

Cheers and have a nice weekend!
