Contest Time Again

Wed, Mar 26, 2008

Contest

My good friend Jeff Buzz, just recently won our Itunes Giveaway and i remeber that as soon as entries were closed for that contest, more people wanted to take part.

Well i say, lets give the people what they want.

So here is our new contest.

To make it a bit more open it’s all about the points.

On May 16th we are officially launching this blog and so on that day the person with the most points wins…….(Drumroll please)

First Place Gets

  1. 2000 EC CREDITS
  2. $100.00 BY PAYPAL

Second Place gets

  1. 1000 EC CREDITS
  2. $50.OO BY PAYPAL

Third Place gets

  1. 500 EC CREDITS

Now, how do you earn points might you ask?

Well it’s simple.

  1. 200 points for posting a commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles
  2. 100 points for posting a commuter experience or review of commuter chronicles oh your blog with a link back to here
  3. 100 points for a second post on this site about a commuter experience (two post maximum will be counted)
  4. 100 points if your post on here crosses 20 comments
  5. 50 points for a second post on your blog
  6. 40 points for a blogroll link (drop me a comment on this post to let me know you added me to your roll)
  7. 30 points for each time you make 10 comments on this site (and 1 point for each comment - in other words you get 1 point each time you comment and an extra 30 point at each 10 comment interval)
  8. 20 points for subscribing to the rss feed
  9. 2 points each time you drop a card on the blog.

So there it is.

I have tried to do it in a way that even those who don’t post on my blog have a fighting chance.

Again on May 16th i will annouce the winner. All past winner can still take part.

Good luck

p.s. if you want to sponsor and add more prizes feel free to contact me. :)

    sorry to be a bit ignorant but is this contest limited only US citizens. And to write about the commuter experience, can I write about commuters in different places for example the tube in London or the Metro in Moscow?

    Hey Peanut, welcome, and the contest (as a matter of fact the entire site) is international. As long as you have any commuting experience, be it the drive on the way to work, the tube, riding your bike through Amsterdam, or climbing Mt Everest.
    Just as long as it’s about moving from one point to another.

    I want to make a post on my commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles but I do not know where to submit it.

  24. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I want to make a post on my commuter experience here on Commuter Chronicles but I do not know where to submit it.

    Oh, I already found where.. Sorry…

  25. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I have done my first post here (200 points) and it already has reached 20 comments (100 points).

    I have also added Commuter Chronicles in my blogroll (40 points) and subcribed (20 points).

    …I have 7 comments including this one. (1 point each). Hopefully, I can have 10 comments to earn additional points.

    And, oh… I dropped an entrecard but I do not know how many. Can you check how many entrecards have I dropped here?

    So, overall, I have 367 points! :)

  26. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    and an additional 100 points for my second post here! a total of 467 points. If get 20 comments, do I also earn 100 points? :)

  27. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Oh, also reached 10 comments… hmmm…

  28. raymondm (21 comments) Says:

    good going pweng, yes you do get the extra points for the comments

  29. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I am confused. I want to ask something regarding the options to gain points for this contest.

    It is said that I can post a commuter experience OR review of Commuter Chronicles on my blog and a second post on my blog. Hmm…I can just make two posts or, one post per blog? What if I make a post on a commuter experience and another on a review? Does this earn me more points?

    I am also confused which post will reach 20 comments will earn additional points.

    And oh, can you check how many times have I dropped a card on your blog? I just want to clear thing up so that I can gain more points because I really want to win this contest.
    Thanks!

  30. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I just made a review on my blog. A Commuter’s Life

  31. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I have subscribed!!! :)

  32. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Also, I would like to know how many points have I made… based on your calculations. Thanks!

  33. raymondm (21 comments) Says:

    ok pweng bee, let me see how well i can cover all your questions.
    on your blog you can make as many posts or reviews as you choose but i only count two of each (one experience and one review for the 100 points each and one experience and one review at 50 points for the second post) the other posts as long as they have links back to my site, should give you trackbacks/pingbacks that will show up on my site and count as a comment for you. Also it might just halp with getting more of your visitors on your site to come comment here on your posts.

    you make the extra points for each group of 10 comments. So if you reach 10 comments you get the points, when you get to 20 comments you get more and it goes on.

    and i have will check on your drops for you.

  34. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Okay. Now ,I get it but I will read this again later for further under understanding. Thanks raymondm!

  35. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Here’s a commuter experience posted on my blog. :) One Way or Another

  36. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I added you in my contests page too.

  37. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    oh, you forgot something raymondm… its my question about the posts i made here. If the second post crosses 20 comments? does it count too?

  38. peanut (138 comments) Says:

    wow.. that is a lot of points that i need to keep up to if i’m still interested in winning.. Lol.. anyway.. good luck!

  39. peanut (138 comments) Says:

    raymondm, hi.. i posted a post up and is waiting for your review. I’m not sure it is ok or feed your site or not.. Please tell me if it is not and I can write something else.

  40. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    well, we really don’t know who has the most points but I am keeping a list of my points to keep me making more entries. :)

  41. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    There are some rules on this contest that I don’t fully understand but Im trying my best to go with it.

  42. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I will be posting an update after this contest to congratulate whoever wins this contest.

  43. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I added Commuter Chronicles in my other blog’s blogroll. I hope this counts.

  44. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    now, lets see.. i think im the only one here that’s so eager to win this contest… hahah… well, at least i got the chance to be one of the contributors of this site.

  45. raymondm (21 comments) Says:

    Well it’s a toss up between Pweng Bee and Peanut as the two top people so far.
    I have a few people who emailed me and ask for me to extend the contest for another 2 weeks to give them more time to try to catch up.
    But that’s a question that Peanut and Pweng Bee will have to answer.
    If you two don’t mind adding more time for others to try to catch up with you, i’ll do it.
    I want to be fair to those who have been in this since the beginning.

  46. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Hmmm… Let me see… There are also some contests I found that I was too late to join… especially for contests like these. But, if Peanut will not mind, I won’t either.

  47. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    As long as they can catch up with us… (that i hope they will not, i am sorry to say this but I think there’s no more time)

  48. Mark (2 comments) Says:

    My vote is for Pweng Bee to win it. I’ve just had too many updates for every…single…comment made by Pweng Bee. I know these are the rules to earn more points, but this will teach me not to subscribe to posts with this requirement.

    I do wish you all luck though! ;)

  49. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    RaymondM? I have added Commuter Chronicles again in one of my rolls. Does this count too? Thanks! -(feed the virus)

    Can you email me for a list of my points so that I can compare it with mine?

    Thanks Mark.I am so sorry for annoying you with my comments. :)

    At least,they are not useless comments.

  51. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    and after this contest, i will try my best to be a part of this blog!

  52. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I think this is the best contest I ever joined.

  53. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Hello hello hello….its me again…. i just checked on my comment on another contest if it has already been approved, and it already has… what’s the catch? I recommended Commuter Chronicles to the participants. :) -(jackie’s birthday bonanza)

  54. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    I clicked one of your ads. :)

  55. peanut (138 comments) Says:

    raymondm,

    I don’t really mind actually.. it is just for fun =)

  56. raymondm (21 comments) Says:

    Ok, so here is what i am going to do.
    i am extending the contest until June 11th, which is my birthday BTW, and everyone will get more time to enter.
    As an incentive to Pweng Bee and Peanut, they will now get an extra way to earn points.
    I will give 50 points for each person that you refer to make a “post” on this site.
    So what that means is simply that if you tell someone about the contest/site and they come and post an experience on here, then you get 50 points because they posted. You just need to let them know that at the end of their post they have to say that they were referred to here by you.

  57. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Another month! Cool! Thanks for the incentive. :)

  58. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    advance happy birthday to you….

  59. Pweng Bee (168 comments) Says:

    Again…. Can you please email me for a list of my points so that I can compare it with mine?
