It’s another ProBlogger Birthday Bash giveaway!
Today’s second giveaway is another easy one to enter and something that 500 tons of you can win:
The first 500 people Everyone to go to SeekZap (before midnight EST tonight) at this special ProBlogger submission link will receive a free premium directory listing ($50 value) for their site/blog!
Only one listing per person, so if you have multiple blogs, you might want to choose your newest one or the one that needs the most “attention” in terms of garnering traffic from humans and search engines.
There’s no set cutoff time for this in terms of closing off comments or anything, because Jason from SeekZap was gracious enough to keep the page up until it reaches 500 submissions midnight EST tonight! (Don’t worry if you miss it or if this prize isn’t something you want or need – there are plenty more prizes yet to come!)
Edit: This prize is open to ALL readers of ProBlogger – regardless of whether you’ve won anything yet, or will win anything in the future!
Update: Submissions are now closed – thanks for reading!

Sweet, I submited my link :D
thanks problogger!

Oh, nevermind. I’m a moron (Firefox had NoScript on, so Javascript wasn’t enabled, so it didn’t give me the subcategory choices. Once I enabled that and re-chose my categories then it worked)

I LOVE SEO.

Nice. I like how it allows the secondary links to specific pages. Pretty swell looking directory.
Roberta
October 3rd, 2007 6:13 am
I submitted mine for my newest site, tragicomical. I’m hoping that I get listed, that would be cool.
Thanks for the link, Darren, you rock :)

I agree krillz and Kara, I thought Id lose my chance to. I still don’t think I picked the right category but I was nervous to let the opportunity slip by.
Thanks Darren

Perfect timing, my blog is only a few weeks old and could certainly use a little help. :)
Lara Kulpa
October 3rd, 2007 6:24 am
Martin – the other contest is closed as of 3:30pm EST. That’s why we launched this one!
For what it’s worth gang – keep in mind that it took 7 hours for us to fill up 700+ comments on the first giveaway, so TAKE YOUR TIME when entering your categories and links in the directory!
I will alert Jason that some people might be having issues… please be patient as it may just be a server load issue on their end, due to all the traffic heading over there right now. If you run into an error, give it a few minutes and try again.

Darren, the submission form doesn’t work. I am getting “Microsoft SQL error” and I cannot submit my links. Is it designed only for sites in English?

October 3rd, 2007 6:38 am
Hi Everyone!
First off, thank you to everyone for the thoughtful response. I can’t tell you how thrilled we are to welcome you all to the Seekzap Directory!
Second, I noticed some people had commented on feeling rushed during their submission; the last thing we want is for that to happen. As a result, I have decided to keep this special login page open at least until midnight tonight, EST.
Hopefully, this will give everyone the opportunity to select the category that’s best for their site.
Thank you so much again to everyone for all the wonderful feedback, and a special thank you to Lara and Darren for this opportunity!
Josh
October 3rd, 2007 6:38 am
Mike Ramm -> are you getting the same error I listed in the 2nd comment (and resolved in the 4th comment?)
Anthony Lawrence
October 3rd, 2007 6:39 am
Arrgh.. same stupid mistake: scripts not enabled.. all set now.

Lara Kulpa
October 3rd, 2007 6:45 am
Wow Jason – that’s wonderful! I’ll update the post to reflect that.
So it’s going to be midnight or the first 500, correct?
Serge
October 3rd, 2007 6:46 am
I also filled out the submission form. Hopefully I’m with the first 500. Interesting price, my blog is not that very well known yet and could use some help :-)
Sonia Simone
October 3rd, 2007 6:46 am
Awesome excitement-generating campaign, guys, I’m all aflutter! Just submitted my link, my fingers are crossed.
Jason at Seekzap
October 3rd, 2007 6:51 am
Lara –
Just for the sake of simplicity Lara, we’ll keep this page open until midnight, regardless of how many submissions we get.
The more the merrier!
Meg Meyer

Great contest Thanks Darren
Pua
October 3rd, 2007 6:53 am
just submitted my blog. never hurts to get a free listing! $50 saved!
what surprises me though is that this directory does not list Travel or Vacation as a main category which is clearly one of the biggest industries next to beauty + health?!
i can only suspect that travel blogs just did not catch up. pua
p.s.
thanks for freebie darren!
Lara Kulpa

It is, isn’t it Amy? I’m having a blast with this whole thing!
Adam Dempsey
October 3rd, 2007 6:54 am
That’s great, could of been a slightly more user-friendly error message though, expaining we’d missed out the sub-categories, I had NoScript on too.

Jason, Lara, and Darren!
Even if I don’t make the first 500 – I think I did – thanks for this opportunity!
Darren, you certainly make blogging more interesting!

Lara Kulpa
October 3rd, 2007 7:07 am
Mike – I’m sure at this point, since Jason has changed up the submission availability to keep it open until midnight EST (and it’s currently only about 5pm) that as long as your site meets the submission guidelines, you’re in! :)
Thanks to everyone – especially Jason for being so accommodating!

60 in 3
October 4th, 2007 1:33 am
The special ProBlogger submission link just goes to the normal directory site. If I then choose a premium listing, it asks me for the standard $50 payment. Am I doing something wrong?

Jennifer Lynn
October 4th, 2007 6:36 am
Same happens to me here, 60 in 3. I’m on EST and it’s still before midnight on Sept. 3 ..
But it looks like this contest is finished?
Lara Kulpa
October 4th, 2007 6:40 am
60 in 3 – this ended last night at midnight EST (Eastern Standard Time) – sorry you missed it! But that’s why you were directed to the regular submission at this point.
Lara Kulpa
October 4th, 2007 6:44 am
Jennifer Lynn – it’s October 3rd, darlin’! ;)
And this post went up yesterday – sorry for the time confusion, but given that Darren’s in Australia, so does his site show posts for that time.
This is why everyone needs to be subscribed to the feed!! ;)
I have tried to be a little more clear at this point as to the exact start and end times. What actually happened here was that this giveaway was supposed to just go to the first 500 people and then be shut down, but because a couple people were having site issues, Jason extended it through until midnight EST yesterday.

If the post is dated Oct. 3 and the post says it’s good until midnight EST, why isn’t it still good since it’s 5:30 p.m. EST?
Waste of time — I know goodwill was intended.

October 5th, 2007 10:44 pm
A high profile directory selling links without human value? Come on, Darren – you’ve surely seen that Google have been killing a whole host of high profile paid-for directories. And now you’re letting Problogger push this crap? For a kickback, I presume? If so, a great way to sell your reputation away.
