So the holidays are coming up, and I’m feeling rather generous... I started learning about Adsense early this year, and didnt start making my own sites until early May. Well, it was frustrating at first, but after a couple of months.. bang, my income kept going up and up. I learned a ton from these forums and realized how easy it was to make money.. it really isn't intimidating.. you just need to do some hard work, and keep at it. So, as a way of giving back to the community, I decided I will be giving away $1000 to the person with the highest Adsense earnings for a brand new site (a site created after today, November 6, 2006). The site must be brand new. It can not be an existing one at all. It can't be a page from an existing site.. the entire domain has to be registered today, or after today. This contest ends on December 13, 2006, and the winner will be announced on December 16th 2006. To enter, just simply reply to this post with the url of your new site. if you wish to keep it secret, you can PM me with the url of the new site. You can enter anytime before the end date. So here are the rules again: 1. It must be with a brand new domain name. All sites submitted will be checked to make sure they are brand new. 2. I will be posting the winner here on December 16th 2006, and will be keeping you up to date on the leaders as the deadline approaches 3. All Adsense stats (excluding CTR - revealing that is against the TOS), as well as any AWStats traffic screenshots must be emailed to me by December 15 2006, Midnight EST US. Please attach a complete screenshot with the CTR’s blanked out. My email address is . You may also PM me the screenshots. All entries will be carefully scrutinized and cheaters will not be considered (Duh!). The winner will recieve a choice of $1000 through Paypal, or a $1000 Amazon Gift Certificate, as well as a link to his/her site (this is optional, if you wish to keep your site secret). You can read all of the details here (basically the same thing here) in my blog: http://www.thezenofseo.com Good luck!
I would do this as I'm making a new site. Accept unlike others , I won't spend 5k on the site , to make a profitable site , then link to my new site from my other 10 pagerank 8 sites....
It sounds fun but how can we trust you? Would you care to escrow the money and ensure you'll include full details of each site that enters so we can judge for ourselves? Cheers
If you don't trust me, don't enter. I'm trying to do a service and make a fun FREE contest with a pretty decent prize. And who said anything about $1000 in a month? I'm giving away $1000 via Paypal to the person with the highest adsense earnings.
New means made after today. What does it matter if she is lying? For a month, you have motivation to work HARD on building one very rich growing site. What do you have to lose except the trust for Kuraptka if payment isn't made. Frankly, that's not that much to lose.
Boy have I got a screenshot for you ! You need to add a rule that allows you to log into their winning AS acct (they'll have to give you their password), and manually verify this for yourself. Otherwise anyone with the most basic Photshop skills will suddenly be earning 10,20,30K 10 points (and some rep) for your motivation Cheers, JL
Nice offer Does a pre existing domain not online count?? I have 30 or 40 laying around undeveloped???
How does it violate AdSense TOS when create a new website and try to make as much as possible in it's first 5 weeks or so?
uggh why couldnt u have done this yesterday my new site is off to a good start $7 first day no advertising.
Hmm.. if it's not developed yet, then ok, I guess I can make an exception. PM me ur site, and I'll tell u for sure.
Great idea! Too bad i made my greatest site ever just a month ago... yesterday it had 120.000 unique visitors (counted by Statcounter) But yea, im too early for this competetion...
haha, I like the 'how can we trust you?' comments. Lets just say he does "scam" you because you would have won with a site that pulls in $2,000 a month. I would think that would be payment enough to get you to build a new site that is that capable that fast. just my thoughts though.
Can I enter? I just finished uploading my site to my ftp and it is up and running know. O also how many people have enter already because wanted to know how many people I am competing against since I am new to adsense and just started looking into it about a week ago
