Bet against BloggerNoob for $100 or $20

2008-01-07T16:19:00.000+04:00

I found an exciting contest at BloggerNoob. He is asking contest participants to guess whether BloggerNoob is going to make it through a 5-digit Alexa score by January 11. His current score is 105,907.

If he reaches his goal of at least 99,999 Alexa score, then a $20 prize will be given. If not, he will draw a winner for $100. I told you it's exciting!

Win $100 in How2Blogger's Super Sexy Holiday 'How To' Contest

2007-12-22T13:51:00.000+04:00

This article is part of How2Blogger's Super Sexy Holiday 'How To' Contest which you can see at How2Blogger's ‘How To’ site.

HOW TO SURVIVE WITHOUT INTERNET CONNECTION

1. Clean out and categorize bookmarks. Sites that you haven't visited for a month means it is not important anymore.

2. Go to Control Panel and uninstall programs that are not being used. Why deleting them is good even if there’s still plenty of space on the drive? Because it makes things like Scandisk and Defrag run faster and more effective.

3. Cleanup the office desk. You'll never know what you might find in the dark corners. Diassemble the ball of cable behind the desk. Untangling a cable ball can induce a state of Zen and it’s rewarding when the mouse reaches as far as it is supposed to.

4. Unplug the PC and clean-out the dust. I have discovered that my fan has built up a rabbit hutch to keep all the dust bunnies fuzzy enough to dwell. Never forget to clean the keyboard, too.

5. Talk to other people in the same room.

6. Look around and memorize the faces of your colleagues around. They all look the same, especially when you are looking at your system all the time and just see them in the sidelines. Try to recall their full names and associate with the face. Include their middle names, it is a good brain exercise!

7. Write blog posts using a blog client like BlogDesk or just the Notepad. Not being connected may force anyone to write about something different, like ranting or doing list on things to do when you have no internet connection.

8. Write down logins and passwords for all sites, blogs, email accounts, affiliate programs, webhost - - all information about your online life in a convenient but secure note.

9. Backup all important files and organize photos. Reminiscing on each memorable photo is a good way to while away the time.

10. Grab a notebook and a pen and write the meal plan for the week. This is a task you can also do even without internet connection with notepad or Word but sometimes, it is also good to check on how bad your handwriting got (after all those typing-only sessions).

11. If still bored, go through the temporary internet files and pretend the internet is still working!

12. Go out, see the sun, look up to appreciate the nice weather and pray that internet connection be back real SOON.

Win $200 from Face.com

2007-12-11T12:52:00.000+04:00

Another great way to have the chance to win $200! Face.com is having a contest where they will draw one random winner to win $200. All you need to do is write a post about the contest (like this) and link to them. Then email them

Win a Nintendo Wii from Contest Beat

Win $10 and backlink from Prince John

2007-11-20T12:34:00.000+04:00

I had been blogging for more than 2 years but it's just lately that I get the inspiration from other bloggers to be more focused and regular with my blogging schedule. Looking at the blogs sprawling in the net, it is very obvious that most of the online diarists are females. So why on earth do girls blog?

Prince John mentioned that blogging is a form of personal expression, a release and not just another money making tool.

He couldn't have said it any better.

Win $100 at 134u

2007-11-18T09:56:00.000+04:00

What is the Ultimate Contest Prize?

2007-10-11T17:41:00.000+04:00

The Contest Beat is having its own contest and you have the chance to win $50 that will go straight to your PayPal account or as an Amazon gift certificate. All you need to do is come up with the best idea on what will be a good contest prize. Don't scream "a million dollars!" because the prize has to be one that is less than $100. :-)

I decided to join the contest so here's my take on what would be a good prize:

I think no one is miserable to get cash as a prize. I know it's kind of boring but it is the most flexible of all gifts and you are actually giving the winner the freedom to choose what he/she wants instead of splitting your head on thinking what to give. It would be devastating to give someone an Amazon gift certificate when it takes ages for Amazon to deliver to his/her country right?
