Word Hugger · 2 years ago

I am not entering this competition, but I thought I would leave my advice anyway.

I read this blog to learn about new marketing tips and ideas that I may not have thought of myself, or have just been released and I had not heard of them prior. Everyone loves a unique way to market websites and ideas, and you help with that.

Thanks!

Andy Beal · 2 years ago

@Word - thanks for sharing anyway and thanks for reading.

Bushido · 2 years ago

Sweet tactic! :D

Will Critchlow · 2 years ago

If you haven't already, check out Scott Adams' blog (linked at the end of my post). It's brilliant!

Andy Beal · 2 years ago

@Will - thanks for the feedback. I'm a big fan of Dilbert, so will check it out.

Hi Andy,

I am new to you blog and have been reading this for last 4 hours!
I liked your style, and feel like it is a smart move to get links and get the benefit of your page rank.

I was tempted to put the link, I have written, what I felt.

I am a chiropractor with a busy practice and my wife runs a health/spacentre. I don't have time to scroll the web for new developments. I am glad you do this for me and come back to summerize the results. Thank you

Andy Beal · 2 years ago

@Allen - thanks for the list!
@Internet-moneyGuru - I have to admire your honesty in why you read MP! ;-)

Thanks Todd but I couldn't get the link to work: http://www.semportland.com/search/why-i-read-ma...

Wolter · 2 years ago

Dear Andy,

I am not sure but could your website be blacklisted? Since you put up a link to my website and it showed up on alltheweb.com my website seems to have dropped a few pages on Google...coincidence?

Andy Beal · 2 years ago

@Wolter - we didn't add a link for you. It appears you've only left a comment (which have nofollow links).

I can assure you we are not "blacklisted" so it's purely coincidental.

Wolter · 2 years ago

Thank you for your reply Andy. I have noticed unexplained fluctuations in Google before. Brad Fallon from "stomping the searchengines" doesn't think "bad links" can negatively influence any wesites ranking anyway (otherwise anyone could "bad link" their competitors). My bad...sorry
P.s. my comment links to my website

Hi there

I blogged about your contest on Contest Beat here - http://www.contestbeat.com/get-a-pr7-link-guara...

All we do is write about contests in the blogosphere so hopefully we can send you a few more entries too!

Regards, Matt.

Cece Salomon-Lee · 2 years ago

Not sure if this qualifies, but leveraged your post to create one about 10 questions you should ask about sweepstakes and how this is a good example of using a promo/incentive. Check it out at http://prmeetsmarketing.wordpress.com/2007/10/0.... By the way, I still don't know how trackbacks work so apologies if this is duplicative. Thanks!

Gyutae Park · 2 years ago

Hey Andy,
This is a great contest idea. If you're not doing it for links, is it more for exposure and the 'review' aspect of it? Viral marketing?

Here's my entry: http://www.winningtheweb.com/why-marketing-pilg...

Andy Beal · 2 years ago

@Gyutae - word of mouth is the main reason and the feedback. I'll add your entry, thanks.

Gyutae Park · 2 years ago

Ok great thanks. How has the contest been working out for you so far? Are you seeing good traffic results?
