My beloved wife whom I love so much, is going to have her birthday this coming September and to celebrate it I decided to have a contest. By the way, this is the first time I am conducting an online contest. All I need is to have the best and most simple birthday gift to my beloved wife.
Okay, here are a few pointers for the ideal gift:
- We can't go out of the country.
- We can't go out of town.
- We have a child that is so cute and cuddly - a 4 year old boy named Ize.
- Money is no object - hope I could say that but due to our tight budget and my company crisis, I would like to make it simple yet the best gift ever. Don't worry much about the budget - I already have a budget and I could add a few bucks
- There are no wrong answers here - I just need ideas.
- In case you need to know the age to base the idea, she is turning 33.
How to join:
- Blog about this contest along with your answer. Your answer should be the first thing to see in the entry and then the details of this contest.
- Grab the banner code above and put it on your site's sidebar.
- Follow our XLEONTIPS blog through Google Connect.
- Add XLEONTIPS and our major sponsors to your blogroll. (NOTE: Please don't use a NoFollow link, the link should be a DoFollow link. If you don't know what this means, it's okay because by defaul it is a DoFollow link once you made a link.)
- Subscribe to our Feeds.
- Go back here and inform us of your entry.
- Make a review of our major sponsors (at least 100 words) and post the link of the review here or to the major sponsor's list..
- Please post who referred you to this contest along with the link to your Birtday Gift Idea.

Teka, bago ko gawin yung entry, may I know if you guys have kids? Kasi ang sched eh nakasalalay if may kids or not lol.. Will sponsor 2 months ad space in my sidebar (for the first prize). Lemme know if that's okay.
ReplyDeleteI can sponsor Noel but only an Ad space on my PR2 Blog http://mylenerabago.com
ReplyDelete@chubskulit - thanks that would be enough. I have updated the post and yes we have 1 boy child.
ReplyDelete@Mylene - that is enough support, thank you so much.
Okay, there is one major sponsor coming so be on a look out. I'm still waiting for the go signal - it is something cool!
BTW, to all sponsors - please specify which site you want to be listed in the sponsors list.

Hi Noel. Would like to sponsor $5 and 1 month ad space in my PR3 blog http://stay-at-home-blessings.blogspot.com. I have just 1 concern - can I send you the money through AlertPay and not Paypal?
ReplyDelete@jules67 - thanks for joining - the more the merrier.
ReplyDelete@Chin chin - thanks, you have been added as one of the major sponsor.
Hi. Glad to be a sponsor. Let me know your AlertPay email account and I'll send the money ASAP?
ReplyDeletecount me in as one of your sponsors.

@eric - what will you be sponsoring? Ad Space, cash or goods?
ReplyDeleteSent the cash today but I forgot to put some notes that it is for this contest's sponsorship. Let me know if you received it. About PS, I have 80 refs right now up to 3 levels. However, I'm thinking how much the site will be valuable to members residing in the Philippines. My referrals from the Philippines have not been receiving revenue share for 2 months now. Hmmm???
ReplyDeletehi noel, sorry i'm co-managing other domains so here are our sponsors:
ReplyDeleteEC Credits (3000 each) and 1 month 125x125 ads (each domain also):
1. Blog De Manila - http://www.blogdemanila.com/
2.Kaya Mo Pinoy - http://www.kayamopinoy.com/
3. World Travel and Vacation -
http://worldtravelandvacation.com/
4. Philippine USANA -
http://www.philippineusana.com/
from my wife:
Pinay Mom - http://pinaymom.org/
5,000 EC credits
Cash - $5
1 month 125x125 ads
@chinchin - thanks, I have received it already. I'll join your referral soon after this week coz I am quite busy right now. I want to concentrate on reading about it before I join.
ReplyDelete@eric - thanks again and to your wife as well for the support. However, I am not quite sure of the prize you sponsored - is it 3000EC per domain or I'll divide the 3000EC to 4 domains? Sorry, I don't want to post a wrong info so I try to make it clear.
Hi Noel,
ReplyDeleteI have updated my post re: sponsors' listing and prizes.
Thanks

Can sponsors join the contest too? Thanks
@EihdraG - sure you can join. I'll add your blog and sponsored prizes later. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteQuick Question: How many links do you need for the sponsors in 1 review? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteThanks.. Pls send me your PP account..
ReplyDelete@Mys - I don't actually have any preference on that but for the benefit of those sponsors, I think it's best to have one article per review. Thanks.
