Those being: Ian Fernando, Slyvisions, Thomas Sinfield and The University Kid.

Much like the John Chow vs Shoemoney competition that went on last October. The beginning amount is irrelevant, it’s just who has gained the most readers by the end date.

There are five of us involved which is quite exciting as competitions between bloggers are normally 1 on 1, so this will put all of our marketing skills to the test.

What Can I win?

…I hear you ask! well, I will be putting up some fantastic prizes this month. I will be giving away prizes randomly, in batches, introducing new ones along the way. All sorts to keep you guys alert, guessing and excited

First Prize Batch

Ok, so this is the first little goody bag that someone could be winning this month:

1. A Free brand spanking new copy of Duncan Bannatyne’s Anyone Can Do It
Not worth a large amount financially but I think the book’s value in terms of ownership and quality is worth much more. For those who don’t know who Duncan Bannatyne is, he is one of Britain’s biggest self-made millionaires. He owns a huge chain of gyms and casinos all named after himself, which will nicely carry on his legacy when he’s gone. He started off as an ice cream man, now he’s worth about $6 Hundred Million!

2. Two Months of Free Advertising on Internet Babel – 125 by 125 pixels
Every blogger likes free advertising! so why not have some from me. A 125 by 125 ad in the side panel normally costs $10 a month, so would cost you just $20 for two months. Not a lot but why pay that when you could get it for free! You may not get a ton of traffic but you can bet the traffic you do get. Will be targeted. Provided you blog in the Internet marketing niche of course. But then if you didn’t I don’t see why you’d be reading this.

That’s about it for batch #1. Remember, this is the first batch, you think I’d pull out the big guns yet? Nope! keep reading to catch the top prizes

How Do I Enter?

1. Subscribe Via Email

2. Wait for the announcment to see if you’ve won.

Winner will be announced on the 15th of Feburary!

Final Thoughts…

I try to make my prizes valuable in the highest sense. So I try not to focus solely on financial value because a quality prize such as a fantastic book or audiobook that could have real long lasting value. Could be more valuable than a prize picked purely because it’s expensive to attract more attention.

Much like my Win 3 Free KILLER Logos contest – each logo only cost $37 each but the value to the bloggers that got a brand new quality logo for their blog is long lasting. And worth more than some novelty prize worth much more.

Anyway, hope all my current readers support me in blogging about this. Promoting Internet Babel best they can and staying subscribed and active!

The competition as a whole will end on the 5th of March. Whoever has gained the most from now until then, wins. And the winner gets to have their banner as a gloating privilege on everyone else’s blogs for free, for one month. I’m the underdog in this, starting with the least readers, not that it matters but the underdog always pulls through!

So… I’ll look forward to seeing my freshly made one on display!

Thanks and Good Luck!
