Push Standards Contest

Written by Erz on Friday, February 08, 2008

Tom from Push Standards contacted me regarding the first contest he is holding at his new blog. I love to help new blogs so here goes: Tom will be choosing the best blog post or review of his blog over the next month. The prize is a month of free advertising worth $25 plus $25 cash.

Tom is not actually a newbie as he has been a web designer for more than 8 years, despite the fact that he is still only in university. His new blog is typical of a web designer's blog, with its own unique design and style. I think the most commendable fact about Tom is that he is moving beyond his comfort zone of web designing into other areas like domaining, marketing and online business ventures. It is often only when you challenge yourself that you can see real progress. So good luck, Tom!

Check out the full contest details at his contest page.

Contest ends 5 March 2008. Go give him your support!

Another Entrecard Contest

Written by Erz on Monday, February 04, 2008

There is another Entrecard contest going on and it is by My Blog Contest, who recently won 10,000 Entrecard credits.

He's now giving away 3,000 Entrecard credits in total and you can enter to win 300 credits by subscribing to his RSS feed by email (3 winners). The other 2,100 credits will be shared among 3 winners who blog about his blog and contest with the required links. You are allowed to enter both contests.

My Blog Contest is one of my favorite contest blogs and he posts contests on a regular basis. I especially like the section where he singles out contests which are about to end. That's really useful. The only negative for me is that it takes quite long for his blog to load up due to the numerous ads that he runs.

Check out the full contest details at his contest page.

Contest ends 1 March 2008 and winners will be randomly drawn. Get entered!
