Beer pong?

Every so often, one comes across something (very often on the internet) which just makes you say 'what the...?!?'. Such an event happened to me today when I discovered beer pong. According to Wikipedia, this is a drinking game where ping pong balls are bounced into cups of beer which the opposition must then drink. How quaint you might say, but wait on... that's not the end of it, Oh no... there is a whole industry created around this with official beer pong tables available to buy and all sorts of other paraphernalia. After a little consideration, I think I'll wait for it to come out on the Wii.....

$50 Blog contest

Thanks to ThePrizeBlog for todays contest. It's my favourite type of contest... easy to enter blog post with a cash prize - random winner, so as long as you stick to the rules you have as much chance as anyone of getting your hands on a $50 paypal prize...
There is a second contest for a sidebar text-link (12 months) for subscribing to RSS feed for the same site.

For the blog post simply write a 100 word minimum post with anchor text 'egg donation' linked to the blog home page (http://egg-donation-directory.blogspot.com/) and leave a comment against the original contest post include email address and post URL in the comment Deadline Nov 25th, winners announced on Nov 27th, here is my entry...

Now here's a blog the like of which I have not seen before, and it's all about egg donation, both from the point of view of the donor and the recipient. There are posts covering the procedure involved in egg donation and the potential monetary rewards. There are posts about fertility drugs and links to clinics in all 52 US states.
Equally, there are posts dedicated to egg donation in other parts of the world, including such diverse regions as the Czech Repulic and Asia....
Personally I was quite surprised to learn that more than $100 can be earned for egg donation, as I'm pretty sure that cash rewards for egg donation are not available in the UK. That said, it seems that the process of egg harvesting can be uncomfortable and quite inconvenient, so that's something else I have learned...
This website then, will no doubt prove a source of valuable information for those considering egg donation either as donor or recipient.

Cash Contest at Romance Tracker

Well Phil Van Treuren has been showing his feminine side at Romance Tracker, and as you would expect from the contest blogger supremo., he has an awesome $100 hard cash prize contest running... True to requirements for the best contests, it offers hard cash and is easy to enter:

There are two different ways to get your name in the hat to win 100 bucks from Romance Tracker:

1. If you have a blog, link back to the Romance Tracker homepage using the anchor text "love“. It can be a mention in a post, a link in your sidebar, or whatever!
2. Subscribe to the Romance Tracker RSS Feed

If you do just one of the things above, you’ll get one entry in the 100 buck contest. If you do both of the things above, you’ll get two entries in the 100 buck contest. Easy, huh?

Funny thing was, the word 'dude' didn't appear once in any of the posts over at romance tracker - maybe it's a different Phil Van Treuren altogether.... you gotta love his style...

Winners!

Laura over at Laura Williams' Musings won the $25 cash prize in my blog contest and Ellie over at ThePinkC won the $10 random second prize. Thank you both for your contribution, and I must say I am pleased to award the prizes to the authors of two excellent blogs. Thank you to everyone who took part.

The Competition hots up!

It's time for some link love to those who have entered the Livewyre.NET contest.
There have been 13 individual entrants, who have posted on 18 different locations, so that's 18 entries going into the hat. Multiple entrants just get the one link-back in this post though...
There are still two weeks remaining for new entries to be added to the list, there is a one in eighteen chance of winning the random prize as it stands at the moment.
I really would like to give a clue about the rules, but I really can't (you may see why when I eventually reveal all..) - all I can say is I would be grateful if entrants would read the competition post carefully.... (There's a hint there).
Here are the hopeful entrants so far then:

Greg | Linky Love | Rachel | Ellie | The Prize Blog | Nitrogen | Garion | Vijay | Linkbait | Phil Van Treuren | Vincent Chow | IceDragon | Laura |

Win some well-placed advertising

I have been trawling the net for contests to bring to you, but have not found a cash prize this time. There are an awful lots of contests that are offering advertising or hosting or custom wordpress templates and stuff of that ilk. This one simply offers a 125x125 pixel banner in a prominent position on a popular blog (no visible page rank as yet but a very respectable amount of subscribers).

Entries into this contest over at 'Super Blogging' are got through various means, one of which will be a post like this linking to the homepage using make money blogging as the anchor text. Multiple entries on multiple blogs are allowed, so you could get yourself a stack of entries.

The Super Blogging blog is neat and well-written, concentrating on themes such as making money online and through blogging, search engine optimization, traffic generation, blogging tips, great finds on the internet, and more.... Thanks to Tay for this competition.

Last entries on 22nd September, Ads to start on 23rd or 24th (better make your banner now so you don't miss out on the advertising time). Leave a comment on the original contest post to confirm your chosen methods of entry, winning post to be chosen randomly...

Contest Blogger

I have been entering blog contests for a while to see if it is possible to raise some extra cash or get some cool stuff through winning prizes. To be honest, I have won nothing so far.... but it costs nothing to have a go....
My favourite source for locating cool contest has been without a doubt, Contest Blogger - This site is devoted to bringing you the best contests on the blogosphere. The author, Phil Van Treuren has come up with a phenomenal idea for a website, and has capitalised on this idea by building an excellent site to match. For visitors, there are all those contests to enter, for clients there is the opportunity to have your contest mentioned on an extremely popular site that will guarantee good exposure and traffic.
For a very reasonable charge, you can have your contest 'featured' guaranteeing even more exposure and traffic. Recently Phil ran a 'Ashwin Khanna Revenge' competition - if you don't know what all that was about, have a look at the original post here (the contest is now over - another one I didn't win!). In conclusion then, if you think you'd like to win something, and who wouldn't?? Take a trip to Contest Blogger and find yourself a competition or two...

mmmTALK competition

So far there has been a new competition every month over at mmmTALK.com forum, Why not pay them a visit and look for the thread about the August competition. This month, the competition is geared towards referring new members to the forum. mmmTALK forum is all about blogging, making money online and general internet and non-internet stuff, so there are bound to be topics that you can get involved in, and threads that your friends will find interesting too...
The prize will be a share of a pot of money relative to how many referrals you get. Even if you don't take part in the competition, it's worth signing up just to take part in the forum.

A prize with a difference

Contests are always good for driving visitors to your site and Alex Noriega has come up with a really unique prize.
Alex is offering an original painting shipped to you for free if you win the 'raffle' on his blog... To take part, you just have to link to his blog... Most people offer a few bucks, a nice gadget (MP3 player, Pen drive) or even a games machine - all these things are very nice to have, but in comparison a piece of original art is the type of thing you will keep for ever. Alex is an artist who designs T-shirts for a living, why not visit his blog and take a look at his designs, read his blog and enter his competition. I did!

The Prize Blog

Hurry, hurry, hurry... Over at the The Prize Blog, Brian is having a 6-day blogging competition for cash prizes, MP3 players, blogroll back links, Bloggeries Blog Directory listings and complete site reviews.
Note that along with conventional prizes, there are some link-love prizes on offer too.. I would be more than happy to win any of the prizes on offer, cash is always good, but the MP3 player sounds like a good prize too...

The Prize Blog

Everybody likes free competitions, and ThePrizeBlog searches the internet to bring them to you. The problem with competitions on TV or in a magazine or on TV is that you have to send a text or post your answer which costs money and takes time.
