StumbleUpon Friends Appreciation Giveaway

by Frank Jovine on 11/07/2009 in Site News

It has been a while since we had a giveaway, but this one is for our StumbleUpon friends who liked many of the articles published on TechJaws.

This giveaway is simple, and anyone can win some cool prizes. We are giving away not one, but three prizes!

Prizes – We will randomly choose 3 winners. The first winner will have a choice on what prize they would like. We will use random.org to select the winners.

1st Winner – Get Weighed and Measured or $25 Cash via PayPal

Listen, we aren’t going to love you up, verbally speaking. Sharks don’t give out love, even for the right amount of bait. What we will do is give you a straight-up honest review of your site, here on the main homepage for everyone to see, with a link back to your blog or web site. The review will consist of 200+ words and you will be rated on the following;

Rating (1-5) 5 being the best
Design
Content
Activity
Overall

2nd Winner – Get Weighed and Measured or $25 Cash via PayPal
This depends on what prize the first winner selects.

3rd Winner – $15 iTunes Gift Card

    Very cool. Thanks for selecting my Tech Tips blog for First Prize. I’m honored as this is the first award of any type that I have won for my blogging efforts.

    The contest was a great idea. I’m sure you will be inundated with entrants for the next one.

        Nov 11th, 2009

        Thanks Frank, OK, I’m going to bite the bullet and go for the Blog Review for all to see. I’ve never really had anyone do an actual critique before so this should be interesting (gulp!).

        • Frank J

          Nov 11th, 2009

          Mike,

          Your review will be up by Saturday. I will be easy on you. :)

    WooHoo! I’m number 2! Thanks Frank, for allowing me to participate in your contest! I suppose since Mike bit the bullet and is getting a Blog Review .. does that mean I get the $25? :D

    • Frank J

      Nov 12th, 2009

      Hart,

      Mike opted for the review, that means you get the cash.
