A number of people have asked me to write some reflections on running the <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/54000-worth-of-prizes-on-offer-in-the-problogger-birthday-bash-competitions/">ProBlogger Birthday Bash $54,000 Giveaway last week</a>.
</p>
<p>
What were the results like? What did I learn? Will I do it again? How would I do it differently?
</p>
<p>
All good questions &#8211; let me share a few reflections (as much for my own benefit &#8211; so next year I&#8217;ve got some ideas on how to do it):
</p>
<p>
<a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/54000-worth-of-prizes-on-offer-in-the-problogger-birthday-bash-competitions/"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/problogger-birthday-bash.jpg" title="problogger-birthday-bash.jpg" alt="problogger-birthday-bash.jpg" align="left" /></a><strong>&#8216;Results&#8217; </strong>- Over the week we ran 18 giveaways. There were over 4000 on site entries (a few of the competitions called for people to enter in some other way so we&#8217;re not sure how many entered those). RSS subscriber numbers increased over the week by around 1500 (in a normal week it goes up by a few hundred) and site traffic was up by about 10-20% (depending upon the day).
</p>
<p>
The week wasn&#8217;t a massive success in terms of driving traffic &#8211; however that wasn&#8217;t my overall goal. The main thing that I wanted to do over the week was to add to the sense of community on the site &#8211; to have some fun &#8211; to get a few lurkers participating and to thank readers for being a part of ProBlogger. In this regard the week was a big success with many first time comments and a lot of thank you emails from readers who seemed to enjoy it.
</p>
<p>
<strong>It&#8217;s was a lot of Work </strong>- when I first called for prizes for the giveaway I didn&#8217;t expect the response from sponsors that I got. Previously when I&#8217;d called for prizes I&#8217;d had 30-40 offers &#8211; but this time it ended up being around 130 (including a few late ones). I realized at this point that the event could be huge &#8211; but that it was also potentially going to be a logistical nightmare. The solution was to hire Lara to manage the project. This took a lot of the work away from me &#8211; however the week was still a lot of work for us both and left me feeling quite exhausted.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Get a Team to Help</strong> &#8211; one of the best things that I did was to bring <a href="http://www.anubismarketing.com/">Lara</a> on to manage the project. A smaller scale giveaway would have been manageable for me alone &#8211; but with 100+ sponsors to coordinate and thousands of entries to sort through it would have been beyond me.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Reflections on Prizes</strong> &#8211; I am so grateful to those who sponsored the project. It was amazing<a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-54000-problogger-giveaway-prizes-and-sponsors/"> to see them all listed</a>. Having said that &#8211; there&#8217;s a few things that I&#8217;d do differently when it comes to prizes next time:
</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Less Prizes</strong> &#8211; 100 prizes of such high value was great for creating a buzz about the project &#8211; however it brought a number of challenges. These included the logistics of making sure everyone who won one got one &#8211; but also giving sponsors value for their buck. 10 prizes would have meant that each sponsor got some serious attention &#8211; but with 100 it was difficult to give each their moment in the spotlight.</li>
<li><strong>Higher Value Prizes </strong>- having less prizes would mean that we&#8217;d be able to include just a few higher value prizes. This would hopefully keep the value of the competition high and give people incentive to participate</li>
<li><strong>More &#8216;On Topic&#8217; Prizes </strong>- while I loved the fact that we gave away prizes with a lot of diversity (everything from scar treatment cream, to bunny slippers, to holidays) it made it also made the project challenging. I think next time I&#8217;d attempt to keep the prizes more blogging related &#8211; or at least to weed out some of the more off topic ones.</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong>Less Giveaways</strong> &#8211; having less prizes would mean fewer giveaways. Over the week we ran 18 separate giveaways. While this gave a lot of people a chance to win something it was probably too many things happening over the week. At times we had two giveaways running at the same time (some went for 24 hours and some for 8). This caused some confusion and made it all quite hectic for us to manage. Next time I&#8217;d attempt to make the whole process simpler.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Weekdays not Weekends</strong> &#8211; we decided to run the bulk of the competitions over a weekend rather than during the week simply because it&#8217;d make it easier to manage it for us. The downside of this was of course that less people are around to compete on the weekend. We couldn&#8217;t really avoid this on this project &#8211; but next year I think I&#8217;d go for a midweek project.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Using Keywords for Comment Entries Was Genius</strong> &#8211; one of the challenges that we faced was that to enter people had to leave a comment on a post here at ProBlogger. The challenge with this is that my comment moderating tool (Akismet) can be a little too eager on occasion and filters some first time comments as spam. While these can be retrieved &#8211; <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/08/the-blog-tool-that-has-saved-me-months-of-work/">I get a lot of real spam comments</a> and finding them all was going to be a challenge. However we decided to make entrants include a &#8216;keyword&#8217; in their comment so that we could quickly track down comments falsely queued as spam. This saved us hours of work.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Distraction and Burnout</strong> &#8211; running a competition of this scale does have a downside. If you haven&#8217;t got it already &#8211; this was a lot of work and I&#8217;ll admit that it&#8217;s left me in the last couple of days with a bit of a hangover (what good party doesn&#8217;t). Next time I think I&#8217;d work harder in the lead up to a competition to have some posts written before the competition that I could use in the days following it to take some of the load off.
</p>
<p>
The other downside of any project that runs for a few days on a blog is that it can be a distraction from the main purposes of the blog itself. I attempted to combat this by keeping new &#8216;normal&#8217; posts going up on the blog over the week. This helped a lot &#8211; but the blog did get a little crazy for a few days and on reflection a few less giveaways might have helped to keep the blog more on track. I think we did OK on this &#8211; but next time I think that a simpler competition with less giveaways might be better on this front also.
</p>
<p>
Overall I&#8217;d judge the experience as being a success. I definitely want to do another one next year &#8211; but will approach it a little differently.
</p>
<p>
What did you think about the week that was? I&#8217;m aware that it wasn&#8217;t perfect &#8211; but would love to hear your constructive critique and suggestions on what you thought about it and how you&#8217;d suggest we tackle it next year.

</p>
<p>
Over the last week we&#8217;ve given away over $54,000 in prizes (in fact it&#8217;s been closer to $60,000 because we added a few prizes and underestimated the value of a few others).
</p>
<p>
Before I announce the last giveaway &#8211; I want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and generosity of a few people.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Project Coordinator, Lara Kulpa </strong>- Lara Kulpa from <a href="http://www.anubismarketing.com/">Anubis Marketing</a> has gone so far above and beyond the call this week that I can&#8217;t express to you how hard she&#8217;s worked. Lara has had significantly less sleep than she normally would this week and has managed over 100 sponsors, tens of thousands of entries as well as me (no mean feat on that last one). The project was much bigger than I ever expected it to be and Lara has taken it in her stride. If you&#8217;re ever in the market for someone to help you with web design, internet marketing or SEO &#8211; do consider <a href="http://www.anubismarketing.com/">Lara Kulpa from Anubis Marketing</a> (PS: <a href="http://www.anubismarketing.com/feed/">subscribe to her blog here</a>).
</p>
<p>
<strong>Our Sponsors</strong> have been wonderful. When we decided to go with over 100 prizes I literally began to shake as I began to think about the complexity of the task. Not only has Lara been great at helping us with the coordination of everything &#8211; our sponsors have been incredibly patient and generous with us.  Of all the sponsors only on one occasion have we had any issues resulting in a sponsor pulling out (and that seems to have been a miscommunication &#8211; I substituted a cash prize in for the person who won that prize) &#8211; everyone else has been incredible! Please do visit some of our sponsors today as a thank you to them. If you won a prize it&#8217;d also be great if you&#8217;d link up to them as a thank you.
</p>

<p>
<strong>Readers</strong> &#8211; lastly I want to thank each and every person who participated in this last week whether they linked up, entered or patiently stood by and patiently allowed the craziness to take over ProBlogger for the last few days. Without your participation this event would have been boring. I was overwhelmed by the responses of many of you &#8211; some of you brought me to tears (in laughter) at your entries and I wish that I had more prizes to give away to reward you all.
</p>
<p>
While this competition was about celebrating the last 3 years of ProBlogger and creating a little buzz around this blog &#8211; ultimately it was my attempt at giving something back to you the ProBlogger reader community. ProBlogger.net is really nothing without those who read and participate in it &#8211; I hope you enjoyed this past week as much as I have.
</p>

Definitely check that out, since it ends on Monday morning (New York, USA) but in the mean time, we&#8217;re running this 8-hour giveaway to send out all our remaining business/marketing/life coaching prizes!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to encourage those interested to enter BOTH, as there is only one winner for the big prize, but we have 10 prizes and 23 total winners on this one! Yes, if you win here, you can&#8217;t be eligible to win that bigger one, but it&#8217;s something, right? And we&#8217;re almost done with the giveaways (only one more 8 hour one after this, and a surprise giveaway at the end) so if you haven&#8217;t won something yet, there&#8217;s no time like the present to give it a try!</p>
<p>Okay, enough babbling&#8230;</p>
<h3>The Prizes</h3>
<ul>
<li>SEO/Internet Marketing Services &#8211; <a href="http://www.freezinghot.com/">Freezing Hot</a></li>
<li>$300 AdWords management package and $300 cash &#8211; <a href="http://www.smallfuel.com/">SmallFuel Marketing</a></li>
<li>SEO Services &#8211; <a href="http://seoaware.com/">SEO Aware</a></li>
<li>one month of one winner’s choice of business coaching for writers, artists, or entrepreneurs and</li>
<li>one month of group business coaching for 8 winners &#8211; <a href="http://www.centerofmuse.com/">Center of Muse</a></li>
<li>5 Secure Delivery Pro subscriptions (digital download management) for free, for life &#8211; <a href="http://www.digitalproductdelivery.com/">Secure Delivery</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.goaluniversity.com/">one year membership &#8211; Goal University coaching program</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.goalguru.com/">Jill Koenig</a></li>
<li>(3 winners) <a href="http://www.peace-together.com/ptWeb/site/content.aspx?tabid=2">Peace Together T-shirt</a> and 1 hour Finding Inner Peace coaching session with Joseph Bernard, Ph.D &#8211; <a href="http://www.explorelifeblog.com/">Explore Life Blog</a></li>
<li>1 Month of Wellness Coaching (three 45 minute sessions with a certified wellness coach) &#8211; <a href="http://www.wellcentergroup.com/">The WellCenter Group</a></li>
<li>one full month unlimited assistance from a virtual lifestyle organizer along with a get-back-on-track basket &#8211; <a href="http://www.maryjorulnick.com/">Mary Jo Rulnick</a></li>
</ul>
<p>As you can see, some of these are directly related to your website or business, and others are geared toward YOU as a person. These things go hand-in-hand, especially for entrepreneurs and startups, because when you start off, you ARE your business. I&#8217;m very excited about these prizes, being a business owner myself and knowing how important it is to balance these things out in life and get a little help where you need it.</p>
<p>Anyway, here&#8217;s the deal&#8230;</p>
<h3>How To Enter</h3>
<ul>
<li>All winners will be chosen at random.</li>
<li><strong>This one will be open until 8pm (New York, USA time) October 7th.</strong></li>
<li>You may not win if you’ve already won a prize elsewhere (unless we’ve said so on that particular post already that it’s okay).</li>
<li>While we’d love to be able to let you pick your prizes on these, it’s just way too hectic to be able to do so. <strong>Prize distribution will be random.</strong></li>
<li>Once a particular post closes, we will notify both the sponsor and the winner so that you may work out the details of the prize distribution.</li>
<li><strong>All you have to do is leave a comment below &#8211; Make sure you include &#8220;BusinessLife&#8221; in it to help us with moderation.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>There&#8217;s only one more 8 hour giveaway after this, and it&#8217;s pretty &#8220;random&#8221; in terms of prizes, but this is our last batch of business related items. If you&#8217;re NOT interested in business stuff, save your entry for the next one (some of these next items will make great gifts for yourself or others and yes, the holidays are NOT far away).</p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p>This one&#8217;s over gang &#8211; head on over to our final 8 hour Birthday Bash Giveaway, and thank you all for participating! Winners and sponsors will be notified soon!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this last 24 hour giveaway <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/54000-worth-of-prizes-on-offer-in-the-problogger-birthday-bash-competitions/"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/problogger-birthday-bash.jpg" title="problogger-birthday-bash.jpg" class="left" alt="problogger-birthday-bash.jpg" align="left" /></a><a href="http://ittybiz.com/" target="_blank">IttyBiz</a>, the offshoot blog of <strong>Itty Bitty Marketing</strong>, is offering a prize of their <strong>premium $2000 marketing package</strong>, customized for your blog or home business.</p>
<p>This is a completely customized package. IttyBiz will provide whatever YOUR blog or business needs to start achieving success, however you define it. Whether you’re looking to increase your affiliate income, jumpstart your conversion rate, make yourself an authority in your niche, sell more ebooks or get more customers for your business, they’ll make a custom package just for you.</p>
<p>Some of the things they offer include:</p>
<p>- Blog audits<br />
- Ad campaigns<br />
- Publicity campaigns<br />
- Copywriting<br />
- Social network coaching and strategy<br />
- SEO editing, coaching, and writing<br />
- Custom article writing<br />
- Domain name analysis and brainstorming<br />
- Theme coaching<br />
- Link building campaigns<br />
- Creating linkbait<br />
- Offline marketing</p>
<h3>How To Enter</h3>
<p>This one&#8217;s pretty simple: <strong>Write a review post on your blog</strong>, and link to it in the comments here. You can review anything you want, a movie, a website, a book, a cafe, a TV show, an e-book&#8230;.. it could be a new flavor of chewing gum for all we care. <strong>It has to be a BRAND NEW POST</strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t just change the date on an old one (we&#8217;re on to that one) and if you post an old one, we&#8217;ll delete your comment because it will weaken the draw pool for the valid entries.</p>
<p>Just write the review (we&#8217;d prefer it to be more than a paragraph of course) and put the link in your comment below.</p>
<p>Oh, and don&#8217;t forget the &#8220;I&#8217;m not a spammer&#8221; keyword: &#8220;IttyBitty&#8221;.</p>
<ul>
<li>Winner will be chosen at random and notified by email.</li>
<li><strong>This one will be open until 9am (New York, USA time) Monday October 8th.</strong></li>
<li>You may not win if you’ve already won a prize elsewhere (unless we’ve said so on that particular post already that it’s okay).</li>
</ul>
<p>This is the last 24 hour giveaway &#8211; and it&#8217;s worth $2000 &#8211; so get involved! We&#8217;re looking forward to reading your reviews!</p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p><strong>Please guys &#8211; Read the rules for entry. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Only NEW reviews. We ran into this issue on another giveaway, and I’m going to have to delete anything that’s old so we don&#8217;t weaken the total number of entries for the draw.</strong></p>
<p>It’s not fair that one person can link to something they already wrote while another person has to take the time to write something to enter. So ALL entries need to be brand new posts. I’ve already deleted 6 entries within the first hour and a half.</p>
<p>This is a HUGE prize, guys. $2,000! We have to be fair.</p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p>This one&#8217;s over gang &#8211; thanks again, and check out the final post from Darren (which includes one very last giveaway &#8211; good for 3,000 of you) and thank you all for participating!</p>

<p>We&#8217;ve got some travel related stuff to give away, and I can&#8217;t stress enough how important it is that <strong>you are sure you can and will be able to use the prize if you should win it</strong>. Please don&#8217;t enter if you&#8217;re not going to be able to definitely use the prize, okay? There&#8217;s <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-54000-problogger-giveaway-prizes-and-sponsors/">still a lot more coming up</a>, and plenty else for you to win.</p>
<h3>Prizes</h3>
<ul>
<li>1 year subscription to Home Exchange Club &#8211; <a href="http://www.homebase-hols.com/">Home Based Holidays</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.magicvacationvillas.com/gallerycondo4.htm">3 night stay in FL condo near Walt Disney World</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.magicvacationvillas.com/">Magic Vacation Villas</a></li>
<li>3 nights in Sedona, AZ &#8211; <a href="http://www.retreatandheal.com/">Retreat and Heal</a></li>
<li>two FREE nights at a Culebra hotel in Puerto Rico Palmetto Guesthouse &#8211; <a href="http://www.palmettoculebra.com/">the Palmetto Guesthouse</a></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>None of these include airfare or any other necessary travel arrangements.</strong></p>
<p><em>The subscription to the Home Exchange Site provides you the opportunity to &#8220;swap homes&#8221; with others on the site located just about anywhere in the world &#8211; just like in the movie <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0457939/" target="_blank">The Holiday</a> (romance not guaranteed!).</em></p>
<p>In this giveaway, you are actually REQUIRED to tell us in the comments which prize you&#8217;d like (because not everyone can travel to all of the given locations), and if the random number generator happens to choose two people who have chosen the same prize, we will award it to the first person and re-draw for another number.</p>
<p>So leave anything you like in the comments, but include one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>HouseSwap</li>
<li>FloridaCondo</li>
<li>SedonaRetreat</li>
<li>PuertoRicoBB</li>
</ul>
<p><em>If you&#8217;ve already won a prize in the giveaway, you may not win one of the above unless we&#8217;ve already said otherwise in that prize post.</em></p>
<p><strong>This one ends on Saturday October 6 at 8pm (EST &#8211; New York, USA).</strong></p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p>Winners and sponsors have all been notified by email. Thanks for participating, and keep checking the <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/category/birthday-prize-giveaway/">Birthday Prize Giveaway</a> category for more chances to win!</p>

Also, we noticed that <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/05/are-you-ready-for-the-cash-the-problogger-giveaway-continues/">many of you mentioned charities when you responded on the &#8220;If I had a million dollars&#8230;&#8221; post</a>.</p>
<p>In the call for prizes, we received many very generous offers, but here is where you, dear reader, get a chance to really shine. <strong>We&#8217;ve got $1,000 to send to YOUR favorite charity!</strong> Courtesy of <a href="http://www.freemoneyfinance.com/" target="_blank">FreeMoneyFinanace.Com</a></p>
<p>Because this is such a special kind of prize to &#8220;win&#8221;, we&#8217;ve got a really special way of handing out the task for eligibility.</p>
<h3>How To Enter</h3>
<p>In the next 24 hours <strong>write a post on your blog</strong> about your favorite charity (<em>Sponsor Stipulation: It must be tax deductible under US laws.</em>) and link to it in the comments below. <strong>Please put &#8220;charitypost&#8221; after your links, to help us with the spam filters.</strong> We&#8217;ll once again randomly choose one entry to win, and will notify both you and FMF of the notice. I&#8217;ll also close off comments here when the entry period ends, and will post the winning charity in an update at the bottom of this post.</p>
<p><strong>The really really good news? This one&#8217;s open to everyone, regardless whether or not you&#8217;ve already won something in the giveaway.</strong> :)</p>
<p>We will make one additional requirement: <strong>Your post needs to have some weight to it.</strong> You cannot simply write a post that says, &#8220;My favorite charity is ABC, and it does XYZ, so you should go donate to it.&#8221; Give it a little thought &#8211; motivate your readers to take some action and blog from your heart. For some inspiration on what would constitute a &#8220;weighty&#8221; post about a charity, check out these written by our very own ProBlogger:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/05/make-a-donation-to-lit-liberation/">Make a Donation to Lit Liberation</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2006/09/23/blogging-for-chickens-will-you-join-me/">Blogging For Chickens &#8211; Will You Join Me?</a></li>
</ul>
<p>So have at it, folks! <strong>You have until 9am (EST &#8211; New York, USA) on Sunday, October 7 to finish it up and put the link in the comments.</strong> I know that I personally can&#8217;t wait to read about all the really great charities out there that mean so much to you all!</p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p>Thanks for the entries &#8211; There are some really fantastic charities written here! I applaud all of you who took the time to focus on this one for the good of others. :)</p>
<p>Entries are closed now, and we will be randomly choosing a winner. Once we verify the charity, we&#8217;ll send the winner the details.</p>
<p>Thanks again, everyone who participated!</p>
<h3>Final</h3>
<p>I&#8217;m pleased to announce that the Bloggeroo, writer of <a href="http://egg-donation-directory.blogspot.com/2007/10/what-everyone-ought-to-know-about.html">the post</a> about the charity <a href="http://www.resolve.org/site/PageServer">RESOLVE</a>, was selected by the random generator to win the <a href="http://www.freemoneyfinance.com">$1,000 donation from FreeMoneyFinance</a>!</p>
<p>I want to thank each and every one of you who selflessly took the time to write up a post about your favorite charity, and I hope that this giveaway has at the very least brought some well deserved attention to some really fantastic organizations.</p>

</ul>
<h3>How to Enter:</h3>
<p>It&#8217;s &#8220;Ode to ProBlogger&#8221; time! All you have to do to have a qualifying entry to win one of the above 5 prizes is to leave a comment below with a poem about ProBlogger. It doesn&#8217;t have to be a &#8220;love poem&#8221; or written in any particular style (though yes, rhyming would be nice). You don&#8217;t have to link to anything or write anything on your own blog &#8211; you simply have to write a poem about ProBlogger the website or Darren, the man behind the site, right there in the comments section (of course if you really want to share your Ode with your readers you can post it on your blog &#8211; but we&#8217;d also ask you to share it here in comments so we&#8217;ve got them all in the one place).</p>
<p>Please include the word problogger or Darren in your Ode to help us catch all of these comments in Akismet.</p>
<p>There will be no judging, so please feel free to write BAD poetry!</p>
<p>The random number generator will choose 5 winners who will be notified by email.</p>
<p><em>Here comes the rub: If you have already won something, we&#8217;re sorry but you&#8217;re not eligible. If you win one of the iPods, you will then not be eligible to win anything else. Entering is not a guarantee of winning anything, and this whole thing is just for fun so if you think you&#8217;re a bad poet, write something anyway that somewhat resembles poetry. We seriously don&#8217;t care if it&#8217;s good or not!</em></p>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-54000-problogger-giveaway-prizes-and-sponsors/">full prize list</a> (now updated to show which prizes have already been awarded or are in progress!) and if you&#8217;re not subscribed to <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/ProbloggerHelpingBloggersEarnMoney">the RSS feed</a> by now, you&#8217;ve likely missed your chances to win a whole bunch of cool stuff already!</p>
<p><strong>PS:</strong> If you&#8217;re looking for a little &#8216;inspiration&#8217; &#8211; here&#8217;s an Ode that ProPoet <a href="http://knifegunpen.com/">Robert Bruce</a> did for ProBlogger a while back:</p>
<p><em>Sorry, had to remove the video because it was acting all wonky&#8230; if you like, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/u56y0yFuOQM">you can view it here</a>.</em></p>
<h3>Update</h3>
<p>This giveaway is closed, and all winners have been selected and notified. Thanks for all the really fantastic stuff (yes, even the &#8220;bad&#8221; stuff) &#8211; You all amazed both Darren and myself with your creativity!</p>

You may feel free to adapt it to the topic and style of your blog in any way you see fit, as long as it&#8217;s some kind of &#8220;tip&#8221; about &#8220;blogging&#8221;.</p>
<p>Some examples:</p>
<blockquote><p>Are you a &#8220;mommy blogger&#8221;? Write a post tip about how to actively blog and deal with the bubblegum in your child&#8217;s hair at the same time.</p>
<p>Are you a &#8220;travel blogger&#8221;? Write a post tip about what someone traveling abroad might need to bring with them in order to&#8221;keep up the flow&#8221; of their writing/posting while away.</p>
<p>Are you a &#8220;foodie blogger&#8221;? Write a post tip about the best snacks to have at your desk for maximum food-to-brain flavor and power.</p></blockquote>
<p>See? You don&#8217;t have to have a blog about blogging in order to enter! ;)</p>
<p>When you&#8217;re done, put the link to your entry in the comments below.  Feel free to suggest what prize you&#8217;d most be interested in, and if the random generator chooses you, we&#8217;ll do our best to get you either that prize or one of the ones close to it. There&#8217;s no guarantee you&#8217;ll get the one you ask for &#8211; but we will do our best.</p>
<p>If you want your readers to know that you&#8217;re participating in this then please do feel free to link up so they can participate too &#8211; but it is NOT a requirement to link back to ProBlogger in any way.</p>
<p>Remember, this activity closes at noon on Thursday (EST) so get writing!</p>

<h3>Prize Description:</h3>
<p>Be one of the FIRST consumers to own not one, but TWO 20-inch FlatronWide L206WU USB-based monitors provided by <a href="http://www.displaylink.com/" target="_blank">DisplayLink</a>!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.displaylink.com/" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/displaylink-logo.jpg" title="displaylink-logo.jpg" alt="displaylink-logo.jpg" align="right" /></a>These LG monitors are one of the first USB monitors out in the market powered by DisplayLink technology. DisplayLink believes professional bloggers and web users would really appreciate the ease and convenience of lots of screen real estate so you can spread yourself out and accomplish more and enjoy more. Because these LG monitors use USB, you simply plug the monitors into your laptop or desktop, and start blogging away!</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://www.problogger.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/displaylink.jpg" alt="DisplayLink Technology: FlatronWide L206WU USB-based monitors" /></p>
<p><strong>How To Enter:</strong></p>
<p>This one&#8217;s super simple&#8230; Spread the word about our little birthday celebration and just write up a post about the ProBlogger Birthday Bash and link to it. Then, come back to THIS post, and leave a comment below with the link to your blog post about the Birthday Bash, and after that link, the word &#8220;DisplayLink&#8221; (yes, it&#8217;s case sensitive, and once again is to help us choose qualifying entries as well as to help us get the valid comments out of Akismet easier).</p>
<p>Example comment:</p>
<blockquote><p>http://www.yoursite.com/archives/the-post-you-wrote/<br />
DisplayLink</p></blockquote>
<p>And for those of you who have already linked to the competition, simply place the link where you did it in comments below THIS post like outlined above and you still qualify!</p>
<p>Hopefully this competition will generate a little buzz and add a little value to our sponsors by bringing attention to the competition. Don&#8217;t worry &#8211; it&#8217;s the only giveaway that we&#8217;ll ask for a link back to ProBlogger &#8211; the rest will be different.</p>
<p>We will once again close off comments and choose one winner at random on Friday at 8am (EST). Winner will be notified by email, and will receive their monitors in 4-6 weeks.</p>
<p><em>Please note:</em> If you enter for this prize and are chosen as the winner, you will not be eligible to enter for any future giveaways throughout the end of the Birthday Bash (with the exception of the final giveaway on Monday that everyone will be eligible for), so please make sure that you&#8217;re either willing to risk missing out on something else or that this was &#8220;the big one&#8221; you&#8217;ve been waiting for (keep in mind that over 700 people entered the first giveaway &#8211; so you&#8217;re not guaranteed of winning anything &#8211; it might be best to enter everything you have some interest in winning). You can always enter on the other posts between now and Friday morning, however if you are chosen for one, you will not be chosen for this one or any others.</p>
<p>Check out the <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-54000-problogger-giveaway-prizes-and-sponsors/">full prize list</a> and our previous giveaways thus far, <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-first-giveaway-begins/">here</a>, <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/03/its-another-problogger-birthday-bash-giveaway/">here</a>, and <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/03/todays-third-and-final-for-today-giveaway-in-the-problogger-birthday-bash/">here</a>.</p>

We&#8217;ve got something super special in store for tomorrow morning that&#8217;s going to carry us through until Friday morning (&#8221;morning&#8221; = 8am EST), and we&#8217;re expecting even MORE response on that one than our <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-first-giveaway-begins/">first</a> and <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/03/its-another-problogger-birthday-bash-giveaway/">second</a> giveaways today!</p>
<p>Okay, enough chatter, on with the giving!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mederma.com" target="_blank">Mederma for Scars</a> has graciously donated 25 tubes of the new and improved Mederma scar treatment to the first 25 people who send an email to <strong>[email removed - they have reached 25 winners!]</strong> with the subject line &#8220;ProBlogger Birthday Bash &#8211; Mederma for Scars&#8221; (Remember the first giveaway today when it comes to &#8220;case&#8221; of letters? Make sure you are paying attention here!) and include your full name and complete mailing address.</p>
<p>I will be updating this post once I&#8217;ve been notified that all 25 winners have been collected, so please don&#8217;t email a submission once I&#8217;ve done that.</p>
<p><em>In answer to some questions I received about who can enter and further rules about eligibility: Please keep in mind that the winners of today&#8217;s first and third prizes will not be eligible for any other prizes during the duration of the giveaway, and it&#8217;s going to be like that for the entire event, so if you&#8217;re not really interested in a particular prize, it&#8217;s probably best not to enter for it. The reason we do this is to give the greatest number of individuals a chance to win something. By all means, if you&#8217;re interested in more than one prize, enter for more than one, but know that if you win anything, that will be the only item you win.</em></p>
<p><em> There are two exceptions, and one of those is <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/03/its-another-problogger-birthday-bash-giveaway/">the SeekZap prize we gave away earlier today</a>, the other will happen at the end of the giveaway and we will let you know specifically in that post that even if you&#8217;ve already won something, as long as you&#8217;re eligible for the prize, you may apply for it.</em></p>

<h3>How to Enter</h3>
<p>To enter all you need to do is leave a comment below <strong>in the next 7 hours</strong> that includes the words &#8220;I LOVE SEO!&#8221;.</p>
<p>One entry per person. We&#8217;ll close this off in 7 hours at 5.30am Melbourne time (that&#8217;d be 3.30pm in New York and 8.30pm in London). At this time we&#8217;ll launch the next giveaway).</p>
<p><strong>Please note</strong> that you need to leave a valid email address in the email field of your comment or we can&#8217;t notify you.</p>
<h3>The Prize</h3>
<p>12 of you that leave this comment in the next 7 hours will be randomly selected to win a copy of Aaron Wall&#8217;s famous <a href="http://www.seobook.com" target="_blank">SEO Book</a> ($79 value)! I <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/09/08/learn-how-to-get-your-blog-ranking-high-in-search-engines-an-interview-with-aaron-wall/">interviewed Aaron</a> here if you want to learn more about him and the prize.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ll notify the winners in the hours after the competition &#8211; we won&#8217;t be publishing names of all winners as there will be hundreds of you over the week ahead.</p>
<p>(Don&#8217;t worry if you miss it &#8211; have you seen the <a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/02/the-54000-problogger-giveaway-prizes-and-sponsors/">prizes yet to come</a>?)</p>
<p>PS: if  your comment doesn&#8217;t appear straight away &#8211; don&#8217;t stress. It&#8217;ll probably be in our moderation queue which we&#8217;ll clear before choosing the winners.</p>
<p><strong>Update from Lara:</strong> WOW! That&#8217;s the only thing on my mind right at this moment (aside from knowing I need to go through this MASSIVE list and pull the random 12 winners out)! You folks are really impressive, and I know that Darren&#8217;s going to be floored when he sees that the final tally on this post is 764!</p>
<p>Someone had asked if posting the phrase verbatim was important, and I&#8217;m glad that the majority of you took that thought to heart ahead of time and posted, exactly: I LOVE SEO!</p>
<p>Yep, that was one of the requirements! It didn&#8217;t matter what else you had in your comment, as long as you had that phrase exactly. So please keep that in mind for the rest of the giveaway, gang&#8230; it&#8217;s meant to make sure you&#8217;re paying attention!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.problogger.net/archives/2007/10/03/its-another-problogger-birthday-bash-giveaway/">Don&#8217;t forget to check out the next giveaway&#8230; it&#8217;s for 500 of you</a>!</p>
