They give helpful hints about ads, and pretty much anything that has to do with making cash online.<br /><br />In their first month they made over a thousand dollars of revenue and now have close to a thousand regular subscribers even though their blog has only started about six months ago.<br /><br />So how can you enter? It's pretty simple, basically just write a blog entry about this contest(yeah you've got to have a blog) including a little blurb about their<a href="http://www.adtoll.com/"> sponsor</a>(has to be 200 words), StumbleUpon their <a href="http://johncow.com/">blog </a>,<a href="http://johncow.com/"> </a><a href="http://www.johncow.com/who-wants-a-250-amazon-gift-voucher/">official blog post</a>, and your blog entry.<br />Then take a screenshot showing your Stumbleupon.com profile showing your those stumbles,, upload it, and post the link in the comments of the <a href="http://www.johncow.com/who-wants-a-250-amazon-gift-voucher/">official post.</a><br /><br />So the company sponsoring JohnCow is called <a href="http://adtoll.com">Adtoll.com</a>, they are an internet advertising company which buys and sells online video ads, online text ads, and online banner ads.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1403548266321086073-7076741705916311021?l=mattsthots.blogspot.com'/></div>Matt L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11857683009973764086noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403548266321086073.post-48933707802100181102007-12-12T14:51:00.000-08:002007-12-12T15:04:28.983-08:00The <a href="http://www.134u.com">My Lucky Number 13 Blog</a>(a personal blog) is giving away one hundred dollars.<br /><br />The contest will be ending on the thirteenth of this month(so yeah tomorrow) when she will pick the winner random.org.<br />Anybody from any country will is allowed to enter and she will transfer the money via paypal.<br />You can enter by blogging about the contest on your blog and you will have a better chance by subscribing to her feed through email or your feed reader.<br /><br /><br />The link to the contest with the official rules and all the other information is <a href="http://www.134u.com/win-100-in-my-lucky-number-13-first-contest/">here</a>.<br /><br />Good luck with the contest and hurry up on entering as it will finish tomorrow.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1403548266321086073-4893370780210018110?l=mattsthots.blogspot.com'/></div>Matt L.http://www.blogger.com/profile/11857683009973764086noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1403548266321086073.post-62736237635176400602007-12-06T14:54:00.000-08:002007-12-06T15:20:02.775-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/1357/store.apple.com/Catalog/regional/amr/touch/img/overview-downloads.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 112px; height: 381px;" src="http://a248.e.akamai.net/7/248/2041/1357/store.apple.com/Catalog/regional/amr/touch/img/overview-downloads.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />One of the coolest gadgets I've heard of this year is the Ipod Touch, Apple's newest Ipod.<br /><br />This device is much more then just a mp3 player, this Ipod lets you browse the internet and download songs from itunes using Wifi, play videos from youtube and flip through pictures on an amazingly vivid color<span style="font-weight: bold;"> 320x480 display.</span><span><br /><br />The website that is giving this away is called <a href="http://filelime.com/"><span style="font-weight: bold;">FileLime.com</span></a> and hosts files online for free.<br />I haven't used it much but from what I saw it looks like a pretty nice quickly put your file online.<br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><span>To enter the drawing you must post about it on your blog with a link back to them.
