I was going to talk about yet another brand new traffic exchange that was just launched a week ago but today I want to talk about a contest.
Folks, this is not just another contest in the traffic exchange industry where you can win credits or banner impressions or free upgrades or worse...jelly beans, oh no no no. This contest is actually giving away a real product that you can actually use in your online business or your daily lives.
So what's the contest all about anyway? Go here for more details
Basically the contest is very simple. All I have to do is choose a favorite blog post from Timlinden.com, blog about it as to why it's my favorite and then the readers can vote for the best one. So let's get to it shall we.
So why did I pick this blog post as my favorite topic? it's simple, it ties in to my blog theme which is low cost targeted traffic strategy.
If you don't know who Tim Linden is, he happens to own one of the biggest and well established traffic exchange program online called StartXchange.com which have over 39,000 members. I have seen many types of contests in the traffic exchange industry come and go but I have never seen anything like this at all.
I have been surfing in dozens of traffic exchange programs in the past week and this contest is being well publicized, the splashpage for this contest is everywhere so you can imagine the amount of interest this contest is generating. If I'm not mistaken, this contest is being talked about in online conference rooms, forums and newsletters and anyone can participate and benefit from it in terms of free exposure to your website or blogs plus who knows you can make a name for yourself, even if it's only for a short time. Everyone deserves their 15 minutes of fame right?
All that exposure and all the buzz you can't buy advertising like that, that's why when you have a tight advertising budget like yours truly, you have to take advantage of it. This is a win win situation for everybody as more and more people will be talking about this contest it will generate new sign ups for Startxchange.com and Timlinden.com and in return, you get to meet other bloggers and they will get to know you better as a marketer, a blogger, a person and as a human being and maybe you might win a flip mino video camcorder.
Hmm....I wonder if the flip mino video camcorder comes in blue, just kidding I'm getting way ahead of myself.
Well there you have it, may the best blogger win. Wish me luck people, I really need it.
