The $200 iTunes Gift Card Giveaway on Jan 16th 2008
December 24th, 2007 at 1:53 pmBecause the sites so new (only 5 days old), I didn’t give any gifts for the holidays, but I am giving away a $100 iTunes gift certificate to a Random Commenter and another $100 Gift Certificate to a random site who links to this giveaway.
How to participate
Random Commenter -
Comment about any topic on 50 Leaves.com
- Must not be spam
- Must be appropriate
- Excludes my comments (of course)
Random Linker-
For this to work properly, email me that you have your link up and give me the url of the link. My email address is on my contact page.
- Must have at least a brief description of the giveaway.
- Must be your site, no spam links
- Link must stay up until at least Jan 16th 7:30pm EST
- Must be seen by others.
How this works
On Jan 16th 7:00, I’ll be using random generator program called Randomness version 1.5.2 to determine the random number.
For Comments- I’ll look a the total comments on the site from now to Jan 16th 7:00 and plug it into the generator and the number comes up will be the winner, by using wordpress comment id tag.
For Webmasters - I’ll take my emails sorted from oldest to newest and count how many I have and plug it into Randomness.
So example the first email will be #1 (oldest).
The random numbers will be drawn On Jan 16th 7:00pm EST for commenters and 7:30 for websites.
P.S. all prizes will be delivered by Email or Mail, you chose.
Good Luck and Happy Holidays!

Seems very generous, thank you for the opportunity.
Hopefully this will help to drive traffic here and garner many regular readers.

One, outstanding idea to get more readers. It’s how you got me! Second, best of luck with site. I have about four apple talk sites on my Firefox RSS and I check them as often as I do CNN, ABC and the rest. For those in love with Apple, we can never get enough information and tips. For those not in love with Apple, I’ll call them the “unfortunately ignorant,” maybe more talk with persuade them to check out Apple. As we all know, once you get over the transition period, you’ll never look at a computer the same way. Best of luck, happy holidays and Happy New Year!!

Thanks for the promotion!

I’ll be honest, this tag from Macenstein is what drove me here. But you’re definitely going in my Mac bookmark folder. Site is nice and clean, easy to read (unlike others I read). Good luck!

I shall have to be honest as well as I came here on a tag from Macenstein, but I am always happy to find a new mac news and information site. Especially one that offers a 100 dollar itunes card… I could use one of those, does commenting on this post count? If so, **insert wonderful witty and otherwise intelligent comment here**
December 29th, 2007 at 12:17 am
Yes it counts
As long as its not spam or has something to do with the topic.
December 29th, 2007 at 5:47 am
Wow, this is indeed something special! I’m gonna bookmark this right now.

I tagged 50 Leaves on my del.icio.us list. Found your site like the rest at Macenstein. Very nice and clean layout. Also enjoy reading your articles. How about an article on RSS? Keep up the good work and best of luck with the new site. Happy New Year!

Got here through Macenstein too. So far so good. Nice to read - found a couple of unique stories.
You might want to keep an eye on your grammar though. Somebody will start screaming about it. My favorite boo-boos so far are “its” where you meant “it’s,” and “could have wore” (*cringe*).
Welcome to the Mac blogosphere. Good luck!

ya I admit, my grammer sucks sometimes. I need to work on that some. Hopefully it will get better over time.
January 1st, 2008 at 3:59 am
I hope I win!!
January 1st, 2008 at 4:36 am
It turns out that there is a bug in randomness where I am going to win.
January 3rd, 2008 at 3:55 pm
It’s = it is
Its = possessive
right?
January 3rd, 2008 at 7:37 pm
Best of luck, with both the site, and your grammar war.
From what I’ve seen here so far, both, although daunting, will success as a result I’m sure.
I too hail from being a first time Macenstein reader this very day. And now your site, in addition to the mandatory registration, will be added to my feeds as well.
Thanks again for yet another way to learn whilst doing. A perfect example of HowToForward, and there, my very first blog, is where i’ll help spread your news.
Warm regards from Dayton, Ohio

Talking about Dayton - I wonder where all your registered readers are located; TX here.
