$50 for Your Link?
In an experiment to generate traffic, I have decided to hold a drawing on this site for $50.
How To Get Your Name in The Drawing
Each time you place a link on your site or blog to this URL, you will receive one entry in the drawing. There is a limit of one entry per day per domain, however the number of entries per person is not limited. Once you have placed the link, post a comment to this article with the URL to the page containing the link and your email address.
I will validate every link at the time of posting and at the time of drawing to ensure that there is actually a valid link to the correct URL. The link must be within context describing the content of the page and not simply a link without any other accompanying text. I reserve the right to remove any entries which I feel do not comply with this requirement.
The Deadline
The deadline for entries is Wednesday July 26, 2006 — I will post a comment to this article at the moment the deadline has been reached. I will be making the drawing on Friday July 28th.
Selection & Payment
The winner will be selected at random using a random number generation program. I will contact the winner via email to arrange payment via PayPal.
Good luck, and I will post a follow-up article after the drawing to outline the success of this traffic generation experiment.

Very clever idea. I really hope it works, and I look forward to reading the results of this little exercise. Now…why can’t I think of things like that.
Check out my new blog for the requisite link!
Cheers,
John
I’m curious to see if this will help or hurt. Current SEO suggests that some links may actually hurt a site if they’re from untrusted sites. However, hopefully most of the links you get from this will be from real-life blogger’s blogs, so I’d imagine that they’ll be looked upon positively by search engines.
hope this thing works.

A post about this (including a link to that page) is currently the top item at http://www.petercooper.co.uk/ .. or directly, http://www.petercooper.co.uk/archives/001464.html .. My e-mail address is in the metadata for this comment, or alternatively peter -/at// peter [remove this whole section] cooper.co.uk (sorry, trying to avoid e-mail harvester bots..)
Good luck!
Good luck with this experiment!
I’ve added a link at http://www.popuptradeshowdisplays.com/resources/ and you can reach me via webmaster .*at*. popuptrade[remove]showdisplays.com (sorry for the obfuscation… darn ‘em harvesters!).
I’ve posted a link on my blog here:
http://int2e.com/blog/2006/07/backlinks-vs-text-link-ads.html
I can be reached at web@mapwow.com
I added a link @ http://kevinwatt.org , in the ‘blog links’ section. I’ll think about giving the text links a try as well…
Show me the money..!
Haha, I like how all the entries came within hours of midnight EST.
This contest is closed — thank you to all who entered.
I will post the winner on Friday.
Darnit, I didn’t get in in time. I had a blog queued up and ready to go but I didn’t post in time.
Oh well, I thought your post was relevant to the topic so I still posted it:

[…] If you are blogging for profit, and making an income from your visitors, it is only fair to kick some of that income back to them. In June of 2006, I ran a $50 give-away from this site in an attempt to generate traffic. The results of this experiment are discussed here. […]
