Contest Time!  For those who look carefully, I have changed the name of my blog from Turnip of Power to Turnip of Power | Social Networking.  Thanks to Grizzly’s Make Money Online Blog for pointing out an SEO issue with my previous title.  Let’s correct that issue and hold a contest to add some incentive.  What I need are links to my new SEO optimized title and RSS subscribers.  While I would appreciate everyone who linked to me in the past as Turnip to update their link to Turnip of Power | Social Networking, I can’t expect that to magically happen.  So how about a little contest as encouragement?

The prizes:

maxtor drive1st place: A Maxtor ONE TOUCH 4 Mini External 80gb Hard Drive. New, never opened, still in the box, It’s been sitting around my room for over a year.  Backup or transport your data.  Comes with USB 2.0 cable, Maxtor Safety Drill Recovery CD, and the Drive itself.  Windows and Mac compatible.  A $40 value on eBay last I looked.

CMF ADS2nd place: 10,000 Impressions on the CMF ADS Network donated by Stan at Fantasy Baseball Advice. A $25 value now, in November this will have a $36 value.  Get your site or product noticed on over 20 quality websites.  Ad must fit in with the CMF AD guidelines to be approved.  Banner size is 123x125pixels.

Turnip T-shirt3rd prize: A Turnip of Power T-shirt available in the size of your choice.  Normally a $15 value when I offer them for sale.  Expertly printed by East Side Tees.  Each shirt is 100% pure cotton, Gildan brand.   Black short sleeved t-shirt, printed in 2 colors, featuring the Turnip logo on the front, with the words “Turnip of Power” below. 

The Rules:

  1. Subscribe to my RSS feed and create a new link on your blog linking to any page at turnipofpower.com, including this contest page.  The anchor text must contain the words “Social Networking”.  For example:  Turnip of Power writes many posts about Entrecard and social networking. Notice how the above example links to http://turnipofpower.com/category/social-networking/.  By varying the page linked to, I’m hoping to spread pagerank over the entire site.  Blogroll links are allowed, as long as the link mentions social networking.  For example: Turnip of Power | Social Networking
  2. Post a comment in this thread with a link to the page containing your backlink.   One comment per entry, one entry per blog.  If you have more than one blog, you may enter more than once.
  3. Winners will be chosen at midnight on November 20th 2008 using random.org

*Updates:  I’ve already been contacted with people wishing to sponsor prizes for this contest.  Which is great since I never even asked.  Each prize will be drawn separately.  As prizes are added, they will be listed here. 

*EXTRA PRIZES:

Foolsville 2.0 has pledged 10 bucks paypal and 5000 ec’s (Ed. Note: I think he means Entrecard credits)

Fragileheart.com is donating a prize package consisting of 5,000ec and  two blackberry pearl skins.  One is red, the other is a coffee (with milk) colour.
