    iPods and other expensive devices are okay, but too many people are doing it these days. I'd honestly rather get some money into my paypal account instead of giving you my address and hope I actually get an iPod. Stick to internet related prizes unless your viewers really want something else.

    The only contests I ever enter are for cash, because most bloggers will pay in Paypal, so it's really easy for everyone.

    Ofcourse it will be MONEY.

    1st prize : $100 and a unique wordpress theme.
    2nd prize : submission in directories and a unique wordpress theme.
    3rd prize : 3 years of domain and hosting free.

    i might miss something, so just take it as a normal idea.

    Money is the obvious choice. But also consider prizes that relate to your content e.g if it's a guitar blog then offer guitar related goods as a prize.

    I agree on offering some sort of item that does not need to be delivered via regular mail, but i don't like the idea of just money either. I think it does depend on your audience/readers as a techy would want something different than a non-techy.

    This is a good question, one i have been asking myself, as i too want to have a blog contest. My blog is not techy at all, it is a vegetarian lifestyle blog, so i have to tailor it somewhat to that.

    money would satisfy bother parties, but as many already replied above related products will do just fine as well, but will take longer to ship etc.

    Money or Gadgets or any great ebook like SEO Book of Aeron Wall

    As someone said unique theme for wordpress is a good idea but hgosting and domains won't do..and when one gets money he can get those...easily..

    Not a very sexy idea, but if it's a contest for bloggers...links. Some decent ones.
