I Am Giving Away An iPod Touch And More.

It's time to celebrate! As of today The Big Bald Blog has exceeded over 15,000 unique visitors for the month. This is a new record for us (due in part to StumbleUpon) and in order to celebrate we are offering up some glorious prizes for you and yours.

If you have found your way here for the first time, welcome! You have stumbled upon a historic event. The first ever Big Bald Blog contest.

First, let me tell you what I am giving away. ONE lucky winner will be walking away with the following:

1. An 8 Gig iPod Touch
2. 500 Entrecard Credits
3. A total blog review from Mike over at Bloggin-Ads
4. Some cool Big Pappa Worldwide gear. You'll get shirts, shorts, stickers and if you are female we even have some "boy shorts", ringer shirts, tanks and thongs that we can throw in on the deal. Guys, we will throw in an extra "Road Trip Rules for Guys" shirt.

The reason: This is an attempt to increase RSS subscribers and my Technorati authority. I was going to set some goals on how much I wanted each to increase but I decided against it. I really just wanted to give this stuff away to the readers of The Big Bald Blog.

So how do you get in on this celebration?

Simple, you follow THE RULES.

To qualify you MUST:
  • Subscribe to The Big Bald Blog's RSS feed via the email subscription so I can track you as an entrant.
  • Blog about this contest linking back to this post with the anchor text of: "The Big Bald Blog" and the word "contest".
  • Leave a comment on this post with the link to your post about this contest.
Bonus feature - If you have done what it takes to qualify for the contest and you are a member of Entrecard you will get 1 extra entry for every Entrecard I see in my dashboard from now until the close of the contest.

If you have any questions regarding the contest feel free to email me at TheBigBaldBlog AT impactmt dot com.

The contest will end on January 4th at 4PM Central Standard Time. All entries will be randomly sorted and drawn that night. I will announce the winner on Monday January 7th.

People of the blogosphere rejoice for this is a glorious day as you bear witness to these unprecedented events. Too much? OK, how about this, good luck and thanks again for stopping by the Big Bald Blog!

I just consulted a psychic and she (at least I think it was a she) said I would be winning all the prizes so you can just stop right now.

Ok, seriously, I'll go get my entry ready. You want me to just send people over to compete with me, is that right? Cool... BrB...

Good Grief! Fixed now. Thanks for pointing that out to me Mark. I am always missing them.

Not as bad as when I forgot to turn on the comments when I first started the blog. That was a crushing blow when someone brought that to my attention.
