Did you pay too much for your domain name?
Our April We’ll pay you to be our friend contest is ending in 3 days.
We wanted to get 100 subscribers by the end of the month. It doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. When we started the contest, we had 7 subscribers. Today we have 25 subscribers.
We’ve posted all of the contest ballots that we’ve received so far.
- Check that your post with your backlink is in there (25 ballots each),
- See how many comments you’ve made (1 ballot each).
- (For privacy reasons, we’ve only listed how many email subscribers we have and not the actual emails. As long as you’re receiving our feed via email, you know that you’ve got 2 ballots)
Your current chances of winning are 2 in 339. (It used to be 2 in 146 a week ago on April 21)
I think Mirjam has the best shot of winning. She’s posted about the contest (25 ballots). She subscribed to the email feed (2 ballots). She commented around 19 times (19 ballots). (I think the top commentator plugin in the right sidebar only shows 17 of her comments because she accidentally made a typo in her website address while commenting. I corrected her website address, but the plugin still hasn’t picked up her comments yet. Wierd.)
Mirjam has a total of 46 ballots to win $25. She won our last contest, but that doesn’t affect her chances of winning this month. We’re picking a random number from random.org and if her number gets called, she’ll be flipping it into 25 domain names with free privacy.
And, even though Mirjam has the best shot at winning. That doesn’t mean that someone who left just one comment on our blog couldn’t win. You could have just passed by, subscribed to our email feed, and on May 1, you might find yourself $25 richer.
Bottom Line: The more you play, the better your chances of winning $25.
Question: What would you do differently if you were going to run a contest? (Or, if you run contests, you can make a shameless plug below and tell us what hoops we have to do to win.)

Hey Andi (#1) / Dan And Marsh – You’re right, even though Mirjam is in the lead, doesn’t mean that someone who leaves one comment couldn’t win. It’s all random. And I guess we’ll find out who wins pretty soon! Good luck.
Peanut (#5/#6) – the backlink looks good so 25 ballots. (Maybe the first post didn’t look like it went through because I moderate all comments?) I like how you have a separate blog about contests from your main blog. Probably keeps the readers who are interested in your main topics less annoyed. Good luck.
gLf (#7) – good luck to you too!
And the winner is… (drum roll please)… going to be posted soon.
