Countdown to Valentine's day and countup on your posts Contest!
Hi Everyone,
I am launching a contest on the website to help us promote our rank with alexa. This contest has two requirements. It will be a toolbar download and a top poster contest.
You will need to download the alexa toolbar here:
download a frugalvillage branded alexa toolbar! If you are having a problem installing the toolbar let me know via private message.
If you use firefox go in the plugin manager and download the extension of the alexa toolbar.
The direct link for the extension to download is here:
http://www.quirk.biz/searchstatus/download.php
Anyone that wants to participate needs to indicate they downloaded it in this thread along with their current post count.
Writing down the post count in the thread will allow me to track each of the participants post count at the beginning of the contest.
If you already have the toolbar you need to reinstall the toolbar over the current one. The alexa toolbar can be run at the same time as the google toolbar.
The grand prize (top poster) will be worth 250$ retail value. This will be awarded to the participant with the most posts.
For every 200 posts that you do from now until February 6th (about 7 posts per day) you will get 1 coupon for the chance to win (random drawing from eligible participants) a consolation prize worth 125$. Please note that the grand prize winner will not be elligible for the consolation prize.
If we reach an Alexa rank under 100,000 by February 6th, I will throw in bonus prizes of a total value of 400$! (for an even greater opportunity for more eligible participants to win including grand prize winner and consolation prize winner)
These prizes will be drawn out when the contest closes and just in time for Valentine's Day!
Ladies & Gentlemens at your browsers!
We will be posting pictures of the prizes in this post. If you have any questions or concerns about the contest send me a PM.
