  Can i post in bahasa indonesia?

• Anthony Lawrence

  October 4th, 2007 2:12 am

  Hmmm…

  I see your difficulty - you have a lot of prizes to award so you need to bundle them. However, while maybe half of these might be of interest to me, the rest definitely are not, so I won’t enter in hope of more attractive bundles later..

  But here’s a question: are the sponsors absolutely linking these prizes to the winners? In other words, if I did win something I don’t want, can I give it away or sell it to someone else?

• Lara Kulpa

  October 4th, 2007 2:18 am

  Aristianto - I think it depends on what prize you wanted, but with a few exceptions I don’t think it’d be a problem based on where you live. There are only a few that are “mailings” or are geared toward people who only write in English.

  Anthony - This is pretty much how it’s going to run, however this particular “pack” is the largest of any. Most of the others will contain only 3-5 I think with the exception of the cash one. I don’t suppose the sponsors would care if you kept your prize or gave it away or sold it, but in keeping with the overall “nature” of things it would be nice if people only won what they wanted… it’s kind of not fair for you to win something and then sell it when someone else who had entered really would’ve appreciated that gift.

  Keep in mind that the winners are chosen at random. Our first giveaway had 12 winners out of over 750. The odds are different for each post of course, but it’s up to you how you want to “play the game” ;) This particular post/drawing is for 24 winners to win one of 24 prizes. You won’t get the whole “pack”, and as I suggested above, you’re more than welcome to tell us specifically which one you’d like to receive - knowing that there’s neither a guarantee you’ll win anything, or that you’ll get exactly the one you asked for.

  Do older posts count? This one is fairly recent and its a tip to bloggers (as well as regular sites too)
  http://www.tyleringram.com/blog/SEO-tip:-See-What-Search-Engine-Bots-See

  The last contest let you use an older post (though I guess that was for those who were talking about all these contests in the first place right?

  =)

  Lara Says:Great question - I’ll update the post… It does have to be a brand new post, no older ones. You’re correct, the last one allowed older ones because it was simply the one where people linked to the giveaway, and tons of people had already done that - we weren’t going to ask them to do that twice.

• Anthony Lawrence

  October 4th, 2007 2:32 am

  “it’s kind of not fair for you to win something and then sell it when someone else who had entered really would’ve appreciated that gift.”

  Absolutely agreed. I’ll pass on this one (too much I just have no interest in), but if I do happen to win something I don’t really want another time, I’ll give it back to you and you can select someone else who does want it.. fair enough?

• Emma

  October 4th, 2007 2:33 am

  I’ve actually enjoyed looking at the sponsors trying to decide which ones I would like to win. This is kind of like deal or no deal, should I enter this contest or hold out for a better one. I have a feeling the best strategy would be to enter all of the contests until you win one. And be happy that you’ve won. Kind of like taking the bankers offer of 200,000$. Of course that strategy’s not for me. I’m holding out for the million dollars.

  Lara Says: mgroves - there are two problems… that post is dated August 19th, and it’s got nothing in it that relates to blogging - it’s about making good pancakes.

  Again, please read the contest rules, guys… this is very important!!

  I know this might be a strange question (and you may have answered it but I am having a understanding block) but there is only one thing that I would really be interested in having in this list. If I don’t get selected for that one thing, can I give back the other prize and you can give it to someone else and try for another prize in the future?

  If the answer is ‘no, it doesn’t work that way’ that’s OK. I’ll wait for the next competition.

• Lara Kulpa

  October 4th, 2007 5:37 am

  Aruni - It’d be great if everyone could help keep things flowing smoothly with the giveaways (ie. not getting a prize and then rejecting it - how “unsmooth” is that?), but all I can say is that IF you do enter into this, and IF the random number generator chooses your entry, I will do everything in my power to ensure you get the prize you ask for.

  If we allowed people to continuously reject the prize they won, can you imagine how we’d have to handle that? It would be more than just you, so between writing all these posts for the giveaways (and we haven’t even hit the weekend series yet) and dealing with comments and spam and questions from sponsors, you’d want Darren and myself to go back over a prize that was already awarded and “re-pick” another winner? What if that winner decides they don’t really want it… vicious cycle, and so on and so on…

  Things might be different if these were the ONLY 24 prizes we had to manage… there are 117 of them!

  We encourage everyone to post on what they’d like a chance at winning, and we totally understand if you choose not to participate in a particular giveaway because you’re wanting a chance on something better.

  Dear Gods of the Contest and other benign beings:

  Here is my blogging tip, hope no one else had it too:

  http://markdykeman.wordpress.com/2007/10/03/brain-broadcast-blogging-tip/

  As for prizes, my priorities would be as follows:

  a) Any of the iPod prizes, from spiffiest to plainest

  b) Any of the cash prizes from largest amount to smallest amount.

  c) Anything else would be cool, too. I’m really not that picky.

  Hey all! Great contest! I just wrote a blog post with blogging tips on how to find something to write about when you’re experiencing writer’s block. Here’s the link:

  http://www.neilsattin.com/blog/2007/10/blogging-tips-choose-something-with-emotional-content-when-you-need-something-to-write-about/

  As for should-I-be-so-lucky prize preferences, I would dig any of the consulting-type prizes: blog analysis, blog review, blog contest setup, logo/header/theme design. Of course everything looks great - amazing work getting sponsors!

  Note: I DO have a new blog design in the works - so please don’t let my current non-custom theme deter you.

  Happy birthday problogger!

  Oh, this was rather serendipitous… I wrote a post this morning for my non-techie readers about moving to a custom domain, and a reader suggested I should enter your contest. (No bubble-gum tips from this mommy-blogger!)

  http://danigirl.ca/blog/2007/10/04/get-yer-blog-on-moving-to-your-own-domain/

  Hmmm, I guess I’m just in it for the linky-love (my day job is in social media, but my mommy blog is my true love) but the Kirsty Dunphey books sound intriguing.
