Contest Update!

This Friday is the Day! For those of you who haven't entered yet, make sure you do by Friday at 4:00 CST. I will be drawing the winner that night. Since I have reached my goals already for this contest, I might as well report what I have accomplished.

One of my goals for this contest was to increase RSS subscribers - CHECK

For some reason this number is never correct. I actually have 80 email subscribers and 32 other subscribers. Giving me an actual total of 112. Given THAT number, I more than doubled my subscribers.

Another goal was to increase my Technorati authority to over 100 - CHECK


Some side effects of the contest were loads of traffic. Ok I will say CHECK to that one too.




The Alexa screen shot was taken last last Friday before I took off for the weekend. Bottom line is that all of my goals have been reached for this inaugural contest on The Big Bald Blog.

In the end my traffic for the month of December amounted to 32,344 Unique visitors which is obviously a new high.

To say thanks I am giving an additional 250 Entrecard credits away to a second winner making it a grand total of 750 credits. That's just how I roll. ALSO as a late add-on bonus, anyone who has "faved" The Big Bald Blog on Technorati by the time the contest closes, will get an extra entry.

Remeber it's all about YOU, the reader. Without you, none of this is possible. Thanks again!

Sumbish! Those are some good stats man. You should be proud. Maybe you can hook a brotha bald guy up on the low-down about your traffic pimpin strategies some time.
