Well boys and girls, it’s been a month since we announced the coolest cowpetition ever. Our hosting provider Micfo.com agreed to fork out $500 so we could give away something extremely cool like a PS3, Xbox360, Wii or iPhone! Competition is officially closed and we’re are happy to announce a winner today!

If you didn’t win, cheer up. You can always use the “JohnCowRocks” promo coupon to claim a nice 15% discount on anything you order with Micfo!

Has this blog contest been good for us too? With over 200 entries we’re pretty pleased! We’re currently ranked in the top 5k on Technorati. Alexa placed us in the 35k and Google shows us in third place if you look for “win a ps3″. Seems we’re actually also ranking in the first spot if you’re looking for “John Chow” :twisted: They still didn’t give us pagerank yet, so we’re hoping all those links will get taken into consideration when they finally do update the PR. Obviously these numbers did not all come from this contest but it sure gave us a nice boost.

Now, without further adoo, the lucky blogger who’s number we picked with a blindfold is: JulieAnneBonner with this pingback! Cowgratulations Julie! Please get back to us asap so we can handover the $500 so you can go out shopping!

Oh, we nearly forgot that there was another competition running. CmanLong won $100, a link in our sidebar and a full site review worth $200! Congratulations to you too! If you read this, please leave a comment or drop us an email so we can hand you over some more money!

Last but not least, we’d like to congratulate Angand The Great from se-games.blogspot.com with winning the most annoying commentator on the blog award! It only took you about 10 comments and one really stupid guest blogger post which we accidentaly deleted. You just got yourself banned for the rest of the year at no charge. Hooray for us you!

    Well done to the winners, and to John Cow for arranging such a contest.

    Is $500 enough to buy a PS3 nowadays?

    Mine cost £400 + an extra £100/£200 for games and accessories.

    Mxx

    omg!!!!!!!!!!!! Can I just say I screamed really loud!! I am SO excited! You are my favorite cow in the whole world. :) I am on cloud nine right now. Seriously, Mr. Cow, thank you from the bottom of my heart and also of course a HUGE thank you to Micfo.com!

    So, what do I do now? :)

    • John Cow says:

      Oh, now we’re just going to pretend it was all a fake and an ordinary linkbait :twisted:

    • Enkay Blog says:

      Actually that makes me curious, are you going to get a Wii, PS3 or iPhone with the money or use it for something else? Because, If I won, I would have probably used it to pay off some books!

      • Julie says:

        Well, I am leaning towards the iPhone. My husband could really use one and I would win the wife of the year award for sure!

        Of course, I’m headed over to a site called iphoneflaws.com first to read up on all the problems. Anyone on here have one? Also,did anyone here about the 300 page iPhone bill that a lady got. She vlogged about it. Her bill came in a box. Funny.

  17. Julie says:

    P.S. By the way, my b-day is Sunday. Happy b-day to me, Happy b-day to me! :) What a great present.

    Congrats also to the other winners!

    I am also running a contest by the way. I’m giving away $100 dollars to the person that can guess what the C stands for. If nobody guesses correctly I’m still giving away $20 to the randomly drawn winner of the losers!

    Later all and have a profitable productive blogging day.
