Sharing the Love: Free John Chow Banner Ad Contest

Posted on August 24, 2007 by Tim Schroeder

(Update. This contest has now ENDED. See below for more info.).

As mentioned in a previous, I’ve been thinking about some ideas for a new John Chow Banner Ad contest.

John Chow will be selling these currently sold-out 125 x 125 banner spots for whopping $500 a month. Now $500 is not chump change for most people and it’s not for me either. However, if you think smart, your return on investment can easily exceed your costs. That is a fact based on the success some advertisers have had with the 300 x 250 banner spot and some review me orders. Luckily I’m one of the few to secure a new banner spot and my luck is now your reward.

With this first contest, I’m going to give FOUR of you the opportunity to get your banner on John Chow for FREE.

I’m going to keep this fairly simple.

1. A reply to this post counts as ONE entry.

2. A link back from your blog to this thread (trackback) and the eMonetized.com homepage counts as FIVE entries.

Your anchor text and text copy may vary. All that is required is the two links. For example:

Tim Schroeder of eMonetized.com is giving four people the chance to have their own 125 x 125 banner ad shown on John Chow for free. Your can read more about his John Chow Banner Ad Contest Here.

Now this is the easiest contest ever because a simple reply to this post gets you one entry. However, if you take the time to mention this contest on your blog it will significantly increase your chances of winning. I’ll also really appreciate it. You never know, you might find yourself in one of my “In-the-Spotlight” posts. ;)

As an added BONUS for the first 10 linkbacks to this contest from your blog you will get your own 468 x 80 banner rotated on the top page of eMonetized.com for a full month. Just contact me with the link to your banner and url. Remember, I’m getting lots of extra traffic from John Chow so your banner will be seen. Even if you are not one of the first 10 to linkback, you will still get the five extra contest entries for doing so.

This contest will end Wednesday August 29 (specific time to be announced). At the end of this contest I’ll randomly select FOUR winners and announce them on eMonetized. Each of these four winners will get your own 125 x 125 banner shown on John Chow for one day.

How much traffic and how much money will your banner send you? That really depends on how creative you can be with your banner! You can probably expect anywhere from 100 to 300+ clicks on your banner for this free one day ad.

Good Luck and thanks for reading eMonetized.com!

THIS CONTEST WILL END AT 5PM TODAY 8/29 US Eastern Time.

UPDATE: This contest is now OVER and winners will be announced shortly. Thanks to everyone who participated!

    What a brilliant idea. I am in the group who wish they had $500 for advertising so this would be amazing to win.

    Cheers.

    I read about your contest on Johnchow.com. It seems I’m the very first person to reply to this post. It’s unbelievable, where is everybody? And yes, I’m only replying to get an entry.

    LOL okay something is wrong. I see the linkbacks showing up now but mine still didn’t show up by itself. But I know I had my post up first ^_^

  8. Tim Schroeder

    - 24th Aug, 07 11:08pm

    Don’t worry Steven. I have you in the top 10.

    Marguerite, new posts don’t go live until I approve them so there will probably be a backlog until the morning. I have a feeling comments on this post are going to get pretty long. :)

    I’m not Cathlic and can’t figure out why I feel guilty. This seems too easy so I’m donating money to charity right after I post here.

    This is a fantastic and extremely generous idea. I’ve also made a post to get an extra five credits to along with the one credit from this comment:

    Let me know if I’m one of the first linkbacks. I highly doubt it, but just in case… ;)

    So this competition is worth
    500$/30=16.66$(prize money) * ten(no of winners)=166$ ;)

    Count me in too. I’d love to have a banner on JohnChow.com

  27. Eric

    - 25th Aug, 07 02:08pm

    Great idea for link bait! The DoFollow is also greatly appreciated – I wish more bloggers would do that – my blog has been that way for a couple years now.

  28. Matt Jones

    - 25th Aug, 07 02:08pm

    Great idea and good luck! Fingers crossed…

  29. Tim Schroeder

    - 25th Aug, 07 02:08pm

    gsv13,

    Actually that calculation is wrong. There will be ten winners that will get the banner rotation here on eMonetized. There will also be four other winners who will each get their banner shown on John Chow for one day.

    lol – That’s a pretty fantastic idea. :D

    Hope the contest goes well! (It seems to be! I’m off to browse the site at least… xD )

    that’s a wicked idea. You just dont get a lot of visitors from that Ad you secured, you also get lots of linkbacks because of this wicked idea.
