Calling All Badass Bloggers

Written by John Cow on August 24th, 2007

After you have read this post, you will have the opportunity to win either a $500 or a $1000 cash prize! Bet that got you interested.
One of our bovine fans emailed us about his new money making project, bloggingsmostwanted dot com. If you’ve read about the Milliondollarwiki over at the other guy’s blog, you will immediately recognize the angle which is being played. You can get your 40×40 pixels mugshot up on the blogging’s most wanted wall of fame for a small fee.

It only took them two days to sell the first 11 spots, and a couple of the badass bloggers that were smart enough to get a good spot and a ticket to the $1500 prize money are no strangers in the blogosphere. Garry Conn, Contest Blogger, and us of course! We aren’t just in it for the money and fame however, we were promised something by email which we’re sure you’d all want to see!

Thanks for considering and your support. I live near some farms, and if you
support me, I’ll do my best to get a photo of your blog written on an actual
cow! (No promises, damned farmers are meaner than hell) but I’ll try my best!

That’s gonna be one sexy cow! Now the price you’re gonna have to pay for becoming an Internet celeb like us is a mere $15! (And we’ve read somewhere that you can even get it for just $10. But we’re not sure if we were supposed to tell you guys this :twisted: ) Not a bad investment really, considering you can win some monster prizes. We spent more per week on lotto tickets where the ods are 1 in 100 million!

No, it’s not new and it has been done before, this however is purely meant for bloggers. If this goes viral, chances are that you’ll gain some extra traffic for your blog and perhaps in the future, you’ll be able to sell your block with a nice profit! We’re in and if you’re quick you can still grab some of the good spots! Oh, and whoever we think makes the funniest tagline will get their spot paid by us!

If you’re really an attention wh*re, there’s 4 great ad spots available for just $30 a pop. Not sure if this will include you in the $1500 contest. If we had one, we’d take our hats off to Mr. Ryan Shamus for sharing the wealth with us other bloggers. Moo knows we need it! Even if you can’t afford it right now, show him some blog love back by stumbling this post for him :cool:

  14. Ryan Shamus says:

    Thanks for the support so far guys! Like others said, you can’t beat it for 10 smackers.

    Don’t forget about the big money at the end!

    I’m going to put all 625 grid coordinates in a black hat, and draw for the big money prizes on youtube! I’ve initially said two big prizes, but depending on how quick this goes, I might throw in a couple bonus cash prizes as well :)

  17. I just bought a block right under the cow himself.

  18. 2xKnight says:

    I tried to buy a block, but paypal was being pissy. I’ll have to get that straightened out before I can help make this dude rich. *L*

  19. Spanish Joe says:

    This looksl ike it might just be a really great opportunity if it goes viral. Is there an upward limit on how many squares you can purchase together? It seems like it might be a worthwhile strategy to buy a few of them up together to get a bigger advertising block.

  20. I considered investing in a square. But then I noticed its Alexa rank was similar to my blog’s rank, and that made me wait until I see their page rank increase..still a good idea and its only $10-15.

  21. links from TechnoratiWhen that happens you will receive tons of traffic and a surge of new subscribers to your inspiring blogs! It gets even better! You could win $1000!

    I prefer not to spend money on promoting my site(s). Especially for something like this where I know I’m NOT gonna win.

    great post for unlimited buzz

  26. John Cow says:

    Most might not have hit the million dollar mark, but still made some nice mooney. Why not join us and buy a block if you’re so alone :D

  27. Steven says:

    I’ll considering it for the time being if I can think of a good spot ^_^
