I promised a blog contest and I’m so excited to announce I finally decided on the contest/prize. I’ll shamelessly admit the contests are a strategic ploy to increase traffic to my blog. So it’s fitting that the prize is commensurate with the amount of traffic.
On any given day my blog receives about 30 unique visitors. This is sadly well below the stats for my main website and I know this number can improve. So…the prize for this contest is a
Best Buy Giftcard
And the amount will be determined by the number of unique visitors to my site tomorrow, July 22. Each visitor adds $1 to the prize, up to $100! I will publish my statcounter results on Wednesday to show the amount won.
I also need help deciding which background to use in my galleries on my website. To enter the contest, simply add a comment to this post voting for your favorite background for my galleries, 1 or 2. That enters you in the drawing to win. Anyone is eligible so spread the word. Remember, the more visitors to the blog tomorrow the bigger the prize! Winner will be selected by the random number generator posted here based on the number assigned to their comment: http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html . One entry per person, please.

Background 2:

Entries can begin right away, so reply to this post with your favorite background and you’re all set to win! Make sure you spread the word to make that prize bigger.
Good luck! I hope we get 31 unique visitors tomorrow….*grin*.

Thanks so much for participation, proofreading (I so need to spellcheck this blog), feedback and sweet comments! Just wanted to give you a peek of where we are with the visitor count. You’re not going to let me get away with a $38.00 prize are you?

I am off to work for a bit. Be sure to check in tomorrow for the winner!
