New to this blog? See our Popular Posts section to get started, we have tons of great articles that can benefit you. Don't miss the upcoming interesting articles, subscribe to our RSS.

I think it’s about time I organize some contest. How about $80.00 Free Amazon Gift Card? I am sure all of you like to read and would be glad to have extra 80 bucks to buy some of your favorite books in your Amazon wishlist.

I believe most of the books in Amazon are prices below $80.00, so it should be more than enough to buy a book. First, I wanted to give $50.00 only, then I thought it will be too small, since many books are priced 50+ and 60+.

amazon_gift.pngContest Rules

The rule is simple (as usual). There is only one rule, and that is to subscribe to my RSS.

But this time, I want to make minor change to the contest rules. To make it fair to all the contestants, I want to see a proof of your subscription. This would eliminate the chance of the gift going to someone who didn’t subscribe but merely claimed that he subscribed and provided his contact details. You can say it’s a captcha for bogus subscribers. Is that okay?

How to enter this contest?

  • Subscribe to my RSS
  • Send email to with:

    • screenshot of your subscription (as attachment)
    • your full name
    • and your email where I should send the Amazon Gift Certificate
  • Include this text “adesamazongift” somewhere in the email. This will allow me to search in gmail for emails that might go into spam folder. It’s better you copy and paste the text, so that you won’t get it wrong while typing.
  • You are done! Just pray that you will be the winner ;)

If you do not want to send email, you can just comment under this post, providing your full name, email, and link to your RSS Reader screenshot. (You can upload the images to imageshack.us if you want).

Contest Duration

  • First Draw on 31st March 2008 - Winner: Martin Mathers
  • Second Draw on 12th April 2008 - Winner: Kelly Guy
  • Third Draw on 25th May 2008 - Winner: will be announced

Frequently Asked Questions

    I am already subscribed to your RSS, do I have to send you my details again?
    Yes. Only who send me their details by email or by commenting will be entered into this contest. If you have entered my previous contests then please re-send me your details again. Otherwise you won’t be included in this contest.

    This is because, last winner of the 1000 Free Entrecard Credit Contest didn’t claim the prize. Probably he subscribed to my earlier contests (free domain name + hosting), and since I automatically inserted those who were already in my previous contests, there were some inconsistencies. Because of the automatic inclusion, some of the people who have already unsubscribed were also included in the contest. So, this is to prevent from such things happening again in the current contest.

    Will I be included in the contest if I just say I subscribed, but didn’t send you screenshot?
    No. You won’t be included in the contest if your application is not complete. If you just email me or comment under this post, saying “i subscribed, pick me, pick me!”, you won’t be included in the contest.

    Therefore, please follow the rules and make sure that you do not miss any of the required steps above.

    Can I enter more than once?
    There is no point entering more than once.

    How you will choose the winner?
    Winner will be chosen randomly out of all the participants. Everybody will have an equal chance.

Note: The code on the gift certificate above is not real, so no need to try it ;)

    Hey Ades,

    Got your email. Thanks for including us in your contest. Wow. I can’t believe you’re able to fund a $80 contest out of your pocket every month (12-15 days).

    We’re trying a $25 cash contest right now on WebDiggin because we felt that if we were going to spend money, most people would prefer cash. But, we’re using sponsored posts to fuel our cash prize. Hats off to you for using your own pocket money.

    Come over to WebDiggin and register - you might win our contest and then you can use it towards your next contest! (That’s what we’re going to do if we win your contest… Maybe not. Maybe we’ll just buy books. ;)
