WP Plugin: MaxBlogPress Ninja Affiliate Giveaway Contest (3 copies)

by Ades on November 12, 2008 in Contests, WordPress with 20 Comments

For the next three weeks, I will be giving away one of the coolest plugins for making money with WordPress based blogs – Ninja Affiliate. Every week one copy of the plugin will be handed to the lucky winner.

Ninja Affiliate once installed, will allow you to link any word (i.e keyword) within your post, throughout your blog to your money making affiliate link. Forget about linking keywords manually one by one, this plugin will automate the whole process.

The plugin itself is very easy to use, and quite intuitive to follow through without looking at the help file. Below is a screenshot of “Add New Link” function. As you can see, it has all the features that you need to manage your affiliate links.

Little bit about the plugin background. The author of the plugin is Pawan of http://maxblogpress.com. He is the generous sponsor behind this contest. (thanks bro!)

The plugin is currently selling at $97.00 per copy. Those who purchase the plugin will get a free upgrade to all the future versions. You can also use it on all the blogs that you own, so it’s a multiple license deal.

How to Enter this Contest:

As usual, the rules for entering the contest is simple. I like to keep the contest rules simple, so that you guys are not burdened by all the requirements (like some other bloggers are doing). After all, we should keep it fun, right? So here are the rules:

  1. Subscribe to my RSS (or via Email).
  2. Send me the screenshot of your subscription and email to me at (use this software if you don’t know how to take a screenshot)
  3. Put “Ninja Affiliate” as the title of your email, so that I don’t miss it. Don’t forget to mention your full name if you are using some weird names in your emails ;)

That’s it! That’s the only rule actually – to subscribe to my RSS.

Winners will be announced on:

  • Week 1 - 18th November
  • Week 2 - 24th November
  • Week 3 – 30th November

Good luck!

P.S If you are already a subscriber to my RSS, just send me the screenshot and your name. Also, if you are interested to buy the plugin, do contact me and I can get you additional 20% discount from Pawan.

Winner of Amazon Gift Cert Contest: Winner #3

sandra_jonston.jpgCongratulations to Sandra Johnston for winning $80 worth of Amazon Gift Certificates!

There were total of 128 participants for this contest. The winner was selected randomly, this time using the software called The Hat v2.3. It randomly picks a name from the list of names. However, it did install a toolbar to IE browser, so take note of that if you want to use it. It’s a freeware.

BloggingBoost.com – get free domain name and hosting

by Ades on May 16, 2008 in Contests with 18 Comments

bloggingboost.pngRegular readers of AdesBlog know Alan Johnson very well by now. He is the regular contributor to this blog and author of some of the best articles in the blogosphere.

BloggingBoost.com is a new project by Alan offering free domain name and hosting for promising bloggers. Obviously this free service is for serious bloggers or “to-be-bloggers” only. The requirement is that you need to be able to write good articles, at least 5 articles per week (without grammar errors).

I think he has done a wise decision by putting a high requirement. Because if you make it free, there will be a lot of free riders who after getting the domain name and hosting won’t even blog a single post on their blog. Remember my free domain name and hosting contest? Well, most of the winners are to this day didn’t work on their blog. I guess that’s the general attitude for “free stuff”.

So if you are serious, and do not have the means to get your own domain name and hosting, then check out http://www.bloggingboost.com
