			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Like I said before, I really can&#8217;t miss out on contests for the Wii; I really want one. So here&#8217;s another. This one is sponsored by the A-T Children&#8217;s Project to raise awareness for the A-T CureTour. To enter, just enter the following two paragraphs into your blog or website with the anchor links intact: <span id="more-195"></span></p>
<blockquote><p>Ultra-runner Tim Borland is running 63 marathons in 63 days in order to raise funds and awareness for the A-T Childrenâ€™s Project in their quest for a cure or life-improving therapies for ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T). A-T is a rare, neurodegenerative disease that affects children, giving them the combined symptoms of cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy, and cancer. Children with A-T â€” born seemingly healthy â€” are usually dependent upon wheelchairs by the age of 10 and often do not survive their teens.</p>
<p>To run with Tim, join a tailgate party, or make a donation, please visit the <a href="http://www.atcuretour.org/">A-T CureTour</a> website. There, you can also view the daily video blog produced by filmmakers who are making an independent documentary on the A-T CureTour and enter a contest to <a href="http://atcuretour.com/atcuretourontheroad/archives/33">Win a Nintendo Wii</a>.</p></blockquote>
<p>Then just send an email to <a href="mailto:ryan@atcp.org">ryan@atcp.org</a> with &#8220;your name, email address and the exact link to the post you have written regarding this contest. The subject of the e-mail should be <em>Nintendo Wii Contest</em>.&#8221;</p>
<p>**Crosses fingers**</p>

<p>For me, I guess I use online coupons a lot when shopping for tech deals. I know Amazon has some occasionally. Before you buy anything online, make sure to check out <a href="http://www.ultimatecoupons.com/">UltimateCoupons.com</a> to see if there&#8217;s a coupon out there for what you&#8217;re about to buy, I&#8217;ve saved a lot of money doing this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right" class="noborder" src='http://egonitron.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/wii.jpg' alt='Nintendo Wii' />Recently many of my posts have been about blogging contests, and it seems they keep coming in faster than I can write about them. Hopefully they&#8217;re helping all my fellow bloggers win a prize or two, but I should start cutting back on the contests soon.</p>
<p>This time, <a href="http://www.johncow.com/">JohnCow.com</a> (a hilarious parody of <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/">JohnChow.com</a>,) is giving away an excellent prize. As the post title suggests, you can win an iPhone, PS3, Wii or XBOX360 just by writing about the post on your own blog and linking back to certain links. A post that looks like this should be just fine:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Over at <a href="http://www.johncow.com/">JohnCow.com</a> they must have the coolest <a href="http://www.micfo.com/">web hosting</a> provider in the pasture. These guys are having a cowpetition and are giving away a $500 prize! Hereâ€™s your chance to <a href="http://www.johncow.com/win-an-iphone-ps3-wii-or-xbox360/">win a Playstation 3</a>, an Xbox360, a Nintendo Wii, an iPhone .. you name it, theyâ€™ll pay it! Donâ€™t miss out and check out their <a href="http://www.johncow.com/">mad cow</a> blog!â€?</p></blockquote>
<p>After you write the post, <a href="http://www.johncow.com/contact">contact them</a> so they can check the post and add you to the list.</p>
<p><span id="more-115"></span><br />
Basically if you win, you&#8217;ll have $500 to spend on what you want. for example if you win and want the PS3, that&#8217;s all you&#8217;ll get. But if you choose the Wii, you can get $250 in games and accessories, too!</p>
<p>I really, really, want a Wii, so I think if I win I&#8217;m going to go after it and some games, especially with Mario Kart Wii coming out!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="noborder" style="float:right" src='http://egonitron.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/iphone.jpg' alt='iPhone' />It seems like the iPhone is either &#8220;Love it or hate it&#8221; right now. I happen to be one of the ones who love it, despite the reports of it being &#8220;buggy.&#8221; While I won&#8217;t buy one unless it comes down in price quite a bit (and they fix the reported bugs,) I would certainly take one for free <img src='http://egonitron.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  And I might have that chance in late August.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mrgarylee.com/">Mr. Gary Lee</a> is holding a blog contest for a free iPhone! All you have to do is write a post about it like this one, and make a few links out. Here is an example of a post he wants:</p>
<blockquote><p>One of the best ways to do <a href="http://www.mrgarylee.com/">internet marketing</a> is to give something away in a contest and Mr. Gary Lee knows this so he is giving away a <a href="http://www.mrgarylee.com/free-iphone">free iphone</a>! All I have to do is write a post about it in my blog and link to his new site about <a href="http://www.bunkersparadise.com/">golf equipment</a> as well as PinkDeals.net which provides a <a href="http://www.pinkdeals.net/">free online coupon</a> for most stores on the internet.</p></blockquote>
<p>That was easy, wasn&#8217;t it? <img src='http://egonitron.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /><br />
<span id="more-109"></span><br />
After that just <a href="http://www.mrgarylee.com/contact-me/">contact him</a> and send him the URL of your post using the subject line &#8220;<em>iphone giveaway</em>&#8221;</p>
<p>The entries are unique in that they&#8217;re based on your Page Rank. This may seem unfair, but it&#8217;s quite smart and gives more incentive to larger sites. Here&#8217;s how it works:</p>
<ul>
<li>PR 0 &#8211; PR 3 Sites &#8211; 1 Entry per Post</li>
<li>PR 4 and above &#8211; 2 Entries per Post</li>
<li>Your Page Rank will be based on the PR after the next update later this month</li>
</ul>
<p>If you don&#8217;t know your Page Rank (you should,) go to <a href="http://www.iwebtool.com/tools/">IWebTools</a> to check it. (note: I love that site, check out their other tools as well.)</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mrgarylee.com/2007/07/08/im-really-giving-away-a-free-iphone/">iPhone Contest at MrGaryLee.com</a></p>
<p>Good luck!</p>

I experienced this first hand a while back when <a href="http://egonitron.com/2007/05/30/i-won-a-2gb-usb-drive/">I &#8220;won&#8221; a 2GB USB Drive</a> in a contest from Darin.cc. He said I won and that I need to contact him giving him my address.</p>
<p>Shortly thereafter I contacted him with my address but no reply, no USB drive. This was over a month ago, and after 3 attempts to contact him. What a jerk.</p>
<p>If you hold a blog contest to get link-backs that&#8217;s fine. But don&#8217;t be a dick about it and back out on the prize once someone wins.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img style="float:right" src='http://egonitron.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/07/ms_zune.jpg' alt='Ms Danielle' />Well I have another contest to post about. Not only does this contest offer one of the better prizes around the blogoshere, it actually has a little bit of history.</p>
<p>Although the Microsoft Zune being given away here is new, it was won by <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/evil-blog-contest-win-a-microsoft-zune/">John Chow</a> at the 2007 Affiliate Networking dinner, then given to <a href="http://btr.michaelkwan.com/">Michael Kwan</a> to review for TheTechZone, then given back to John Chow. John decided he didn&#8217;t want the Zune, so he raffled it away in <a href="http://www.johnchow.com/evil-blog-contest-win-a-microsoft-zune/">his own contest</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.msdanielle.com/">Ms. Danielle</a> (whose <a href="http://www.msdanielle.com/">new blog site</a> has a <a href="http://www.msdanielle.com/quick-tip-for-busy-bloggers/">great tip for Busy Bloggers</a>,) won the Zune and is now holding a contest of her own for <a href="http://www.msdanielle.com/microsoft-zune-30gb-giveaway-contest/">Microsofts latest media player</a>.</p>
<p>Well this is my official entry. If I win, I plan to hold a similar contest and give away the Zune again. I want to see how far we can get this Zune to go around the world! I call it, &#8220;The Great Zune Monomyth.&#8221;</p>
