We might be the cutest cow in the herd but when it comes to creativity, we got the scrapings of the trough. At first we were going to hand out free dairy products but soon realized that this was hard to do with our international audience. We might run into problems with customs. That’s why when we decided to make it a $100 cash prize giveaway, we couldn’t think of anything spectacular to do and so ended up copying someone else’s idea. Our Dutch cousins, see photo insert, have a saying;”Beter goed gejat dan slecht bedacht”, which basically translates into;”It’s better to steal something great, than to think up something stooopid”. koeien.jpg
Because we want to turn our water into wine milkshake, the main and only purpose of this contest is to extend our flock of readers so we can show the world how to make mooney. We are asking you to spread the word and tell the world that it’s us who put the cream in your coffee. Or tea. Yes, that’s right. It’s yet another one of those popular write-about-us-and-maybe-just-maybe-you-will-win-$100-in-our-lottery things.

Enough moo-ing around, this is how the deal goes down!

THE GRAND LATTE:

$100 Cash Paid via PayPal!
A full review of your site!
A one month link in my Pasteurized Sites section!
A permanent 468×60 banner ad at the top of this site!

HOW TO ENTER:

The winner will be chosen via a lottery and you can choose how many tickets that you have in the draw! The more tickets that you have, the greater chance of winning! Here’s how to get the tickets:

50 Tickets: A single post on your site with one link to the cooolest blog in the world, http://www.johncow.com using the anchor text ‘make mooney online’ and one link to this cowpetition page using any anchor text. For example:

“JohnCow has new blog and he’s giving me and you chance to make mooney online too with his new Cash Cow Cowpetition!!”

(Try to be original and don’t copy copy that line, that would just be so … us.)

20 Tickets: Add me to your blog-roll!

10 Tickets: Leave a comment on another site letting them know about the coolest new cow on the block!

10 Tickets: Make more mooney by signing up to Text Link Ads!

10 Tickets: Subscribe to our daily dairy feed!

*25 Bonus Tickets: Increase your chances, enter the “Win a Wii or MacBook” raffle! (Limited availability)

You can enter in as many ways and times as you’d like, and you’ll have to leave the link to what you’ve done in the comments section of this post. We’ll be keeping track of how many tickets each entrant has and be drawing the winner at random at the end of this month.

All our decisions are final and best of luck!!

(We would like to thank Miss Kumiko for doing the groundwork on our cowpetition)

I want to believe you didn’t get it from there. Or did you? It looks similar and it’s dated Aug 5. Maybe he got it from somewhere else earlier on.

We borrowed the concept from Miss Kumiko, seems he did the same thing :)

Good to hear that ‘cos the other one seems to be reaping off a lot of things from other places without due credits or any kind of acknowledgement. And to top it up, the grammar is horrendous.

The english, or the improper grammer is driving traffic away from the blog!

I made you a mention on Bear’s update post today. Please don’t enter us in the contest. It would look odd if Bear happened to win. All the best, another jon

Fair is fair, besides, bear could use the money :) you get 10 tickets and we’ve just donated $10 to the bear funds!
