eMoms Birthday Party ContestLast week I launched the eMoms Birthday Party Contest and started tracking names for prizes. I eased into the month with three prizes:

  • The book Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins and donated by Kris Jones from PepperJam
  • The book Meet and Grow Rich by Joe Vitale and Bill Hibbler
  • A $500 Coupon off of a ticket to Elite Retreat donated by the Elite Retreat founders themselves!

Everyone who linked to this blog last week automatically won the Elite Retreat Coupon - but not all of you have contact info on your blogs! So email me via my contact form and I will send you the instructions on how to get your discount.

The way that winners were selected was by pulling a search in Technorati for links posted in the last week (through April 7th). Splogs did not qualify. I created a numbered list of the 45 entries, then used a random number generator to select the two book winners:

Congrats, guys!!

This week the contest heats up as we celebrate SEO Week. We’re up to 5 more prizes, so get your links posted to be eligible to win:

IMPORTANT Clarifying Fine Print

Any link posted in the month of April will allow you to enter any weekly giveaway prize. You don’t need to post a new link every week to enter, but the earlier you link, the better your chances of winning.

Shoemoney and eMom!In order to be eligible for the Grand Prize consultation with Jeremy “ShoeMoney” Shoemaker, you must be subscribed to the eMoms at Home Feed. There is a special link in the feed to a page with instructions on how to enter the Grand Prize drawing. Only ONE person has entered this drawing so far, so get your entries in!

That drawing will be held on May 1, 2007.

Wendy, I’m confused! I am, or was, subscribed to your Feedburner email feed, but I haven’t received it in the last week (could be my email issues). I don’t know if I’m in the running for the Grand Prize or not — should I subscribe again?
You GO, Girl — this is fun!
(And I am spending WAY too much time on eMoms and surfing on links & resources…How do you focus?!)

Congrats to the winners. I hope my links showed up. HEHE I put you in my blogroll. :)

Way cool! What a great Monday morning surprise!!! And you can bet I’m heading over to your feed link right this very instant!

Wendy, this is absolutely the best way to celebrate emom’s birthday! (And I’d say that even if I hadn’t win!)

4. On April 9th, 2007 at 12:20 pm, Andy Beard said:

Hi Wendy

I just link through to people as part of the conversation. I am sure you have readers who could benefit from reading that book much more than me, plus international shipping can just be a headache.
Can you grab another random linker, or random it among your commenters?

5. On April 9th, 2007 at 1:13 pm, Sue said:

This is hard! I am such a beginner and I read what is going on and WANT to be fast-forwarded. I want to win the SEO prize(s), I want to win the books, I want to learn/learn/learn. I want this to work for me. I know I need to pay my dues. I guess my ‘impatience’ shows that I am geeked about this whole blogging thing!

Hi Wendy, I’m getting your feed through bloglines but I don’t see any special instructions anywhere for applying…any ideas?

Also, very cool contest & prizes! :)

7. On April 9th, 2007 at 4:03 pm, Wendy Piersall said:

Kelly - I know, I actually wish it was easier to find!! Tell Bloglines to show you all posts for the last week, and it should be at the bottom of at least a couple of posts. Look for the “PS From Wendy” links. ;)

8. On April 9th, 2007 at 9:17 pm, lornadoone said:

Wow. Thanks a lot, Wendy!

9. On April 10th, 2007 at 7:31 am, Gleb Reys said:

Hey Ed, congratulations! A great way to start your day indeed :)

Wendy, the idea is really great! I like the spirit of a birthday party - you’re not the only one to get a present :)

All the best!

Now…that wasn’t the ‘easiest’ thing to find. I found “PS From Wendy” but didn’t see “instructions on how to enter the Grand Prize”.

1. Should I assume one-entry to a “PS” will be an “entry” into the Grand Prize.

2. The # of entries is determined by the different kinds of “entries” made available, right?

Therefore, we should be carefully looking for all these little “PS from Wendy”?

3. I couldn’t find the “PS” in my feedreader “My Yahoo”, but I easily found them in the Feedblitz email-subscription.

Did anyone else find this to be true? I’m trying to cover all the bases here. Really Love a shot of SEO-scripts to help me out :-)

Peace y’all!
