    This is what EBay says :

    Write and Win on EBay. Total 20000$ per week prizes to the top 100 Bloggers on EBay.

    Ebay is giving 2500$ to each blogger if they are lucky and this contest is going to run until 10 weeks and there is a lot to earn by blogging, writing a product review or writing a guide.

    http://www.chattous.com/100000-ebay-blogs-reviews-and-guides-contest.html

    The top 100 winners will be announced the week following each two-week contest period - and members are eligible to win during multiple periods!

    This is the link to the contest details: Ebay Contest

    The 1st. contest going to start from 9th. August.

    So start blogging and who knows you might be lucky to win.

    I am not able to build a blog right now!!!
    Dont know why.

    Is this loading for anyone else?

    I am sorry that I stated that I didnt trust sizzler as this thread is turning into is it real or is it a scam? lol. I was actually joking when I said that cause when I clicked the link it asked for the username & password just like a phising link would so...

    The best person to speak with would be 5 star affiliates as he/she seems to know their stuff on this topic. 5 star affiliate is a member on here so either fire a PM to him/her or use the contact on the site that I posted previously.

    Hi All,

    5 Star is a SHE - that's ME and my name is Linda! :p
    Thanks for all the compliments! :) Thanks for PMing me sizzler_chetan or I would not have known about this thread.

    Yes I blogged about the contest and got ALL the info directly from the Ebay site. It's a REAL contest and they have had them before for lower amounts. I saw that link to past contests on the site. I try to spread good news about ways to make money whenever I find things of interest.

    My take, as I'm sure I said on my blog is that Ebay is essentially paying to increase their user generated content. User generated content is FREE advertising for them (if they weren't paying for winners) but look at all the great marketing content they will get from people that blog and write reviews but don't win! User reviews sell better than any 100K a year Ebay marketing guru can.

    I'm having a contest on my forum right now for the BEST answer to the question "If you had to start over (as an affiliate, SEO or webmaster) - knowing what you know now, what would you do differently.

    Why am I giving away a big prize and cash from my own pocket??? Same as Ebay, I want more user genrated content, but more importantly in my contest, I want answers that will help the rest of my forum members avoid common pitfalls and become more successful faster.

    Here's the contest if you want to read some of the AMAZING answers that have been posted already.

    http://affiliate-marketing-forums.5staraffiliateprograms.com/showthread.php?t=2251

    Enjoy!

    Oh and I hope someone from DP wins the Ebay contest.

    No problem, even on the net it's still a man's world sometimes.
    Everyone assumes gurus are men.

    (Not saying I think of myself as a guru but others call me that sometimes.) :p
