A serial entrepreneur is at large and his name is Chris Walker, who used his Internet Business blog - Business Blogger – as his mouthpiece to share his 2 passions, business and marketing, with his readers.

To promote the launch of his new business directory website, aptly named Business+Directory, Chris is running a massive blog contest giving away $500 Cash and a second prize of a BFG NVIDIA graphics card that comes with a HDTV adapter and HDCP capability for high definition video. Those awesome prizes are just too good to be missed.

In its February promotion, Business+Directory will offer free links submission and free reviews for the entire month. There is a small catch tied to this contest though, and for offering such awesome prizes, I think it is a reasonable condition. The competition requires a minimum of 50 entrants to ensure that the $500 is paid out and this requirement was easily exceeded at about halfway mark till its closing date. This goes to show that using blog contest with great prizes is very effective to gain publicity and exposure for a newly launched site.

To enter the contest, just follow 3 easy rules in order to be qualified for the prizes. A lucky winner will be chosen by randomizer software for the Grand Prize of $500 Cash paid via PayPal. The runner up, also chosen via randomizer, will take home a brand new BFG NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT OC 512MB PCIe with ThermoIntelligence Graphics Card (shipped via USPS).

This contest runs till the end of February and winners will be announced in early March. Good luck everyone!

It has been a while since I entered in a contest on this blog and I recently came across this not-to-be-miss contest with a tantalizing grand prize of an Archos 504 portable media player with 40GB of memory to store all your favorite videos.

This great contest is hosted by Domprofesor’s blog who professed to be a marketing and monetization artist who help its readers make money online.

Besides the grand prize of an Archos media player, there’s also a full site review and a blogroll link to be won too. There are various ways to earn entries and the more points you have the more chances you get at the prizes. Winners will be randomly drawn. Contest will be ending on February 29 and winners will be announced on March 2.

There is a friendly competition going on now between Winning The Web and TylerCruz dot com. After reading the contest post on both competing blogs, I still can’t figure out what the competition is about and what readers are voting for. Mr Popularity? Mr Web savvy? I don’t have a clue. When we cast a vote, we either vote for a President, the high school promp queen, or even American Idol. But in the case of this contest, both candidates somehow neglected to address this point.

Nevetheless, knowing what vote we are casting for isn’t the point as voters for the eventual winner stands to win one of three $100 prizes. For all I care, that is the whole point of this contest! Who should I vote for then?

Since my nightmare before Christmas happened, I missed out on a lot of festive goodies and that includes many blog contests which offered some great prizes as bloggers came out in force and pulled out all stops to celebrate the year-end festivities.

Now that my blog is back online, I’m on the lookout for blog contests to enter and what better way to start the New Year than to enter a contest to win an iPhone?

These days, it seems like everyone is jumping on the Affilate Marketing banwagon and trying to get their hands in the money pie. The truth of the matter is, 90 percent of affiliates make a total of 10 percent of all the affiliate revenue generated. The remaining 10 percent of affiliates make the rest of 90 percent of all affiliate income!

Those top 10 percent affiliate earners can be classified as Super Affiliate and this British gentleman, Kieron Donoghue surely belongs in the upper class. Kieron is the owner and director of UK Offer Media Ltd, and he specializes in making money online through affiliate deals in his many diverse websites and blogs.

Kieron’s official Affiliate Marketing blog can be found here, or rather strangely named here.org.uk. For all his expertise and track records in affiliate marketing, Kieron could do well to nail a more relevant key term in his domain name to better optimize search engine traffic. I really can’t see any connection between “here” and affiliate marketing.
