Who Won The $500?

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!

I was going to have a moan about not winning as well, but then remembered that I forgot to enter. Are there any other comps out there that I should know about?

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.

In the US, the PS3 price dropped to $499 for the 60GB version.

In Oregon, there are no sales tax! Unfortunately we have state income tax on top of federal income tax though -.-

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!

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.

I finally win something. And not just some stupid sh-t but cash, a review and a link!!

Long live the methane moogul!

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!

Yours truly C “C has to stand for Chow” Man

Later all and have a profitable productive blogging day.

Maybe the “C” stands for cow not chow??

It certainly doesn’t stand for horse wormer! :)

??? I know you are probably wondering, “what the heck?” ??

Well since I won this contest I thought I would let you know about mine. click my name, see my blog, enter the contest. it really is that simple. You can also find out what the heck I mentioned horse wormer. :)

I love cows.

later all and have a profitable productive blogging day
