    Default $1000 CASH Give away!

    Would a cool $1000 help build your business? Or maybe pay for that vacation you have been saving for? Well, we have a very easy way for you to win $1000 not just once, but many times!

    As part of our SEO efforts we want to build inbound links to our website. Many clients already do this for us but we want to offer a reward and encourage more people to do this. So each month, we will be giving away $1000 to a client (selected at random) who links to our website.

    How does this work?
    Well, we're in the process of writing a script to automate this. However, our design and development team is working feverishly hard on a new website for us, an improved staff portal, the backend to our phone support and a number of other projects so we'll use vBulletin for now.

    Firstly, link to http://www.webhostingbuzz.com. Using either of the following codes in it's entirety (you are welcome to change the "style" of the h1 tag, but the h1 must be included):

    ---

    <h1 style="font-size:1em;font-weight:normal;"><a href="http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/" title="Cheap Web Hosting">cheap hosting</a></h1>

    OR the following:

    <h1 style="font-size:1em;font-weight:normal;"><a href="http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/website-hosting.shtml?host_reseller-hosting" title="Cheap Reseller Web Hosting">cheap reseller hosting</a></h1>

    ---

    Once you have linked to our website, please fill in the requested details at http://www.whbstatus.com/showthread.php?t=403

    We'll then do a dump of the database each month and randomly select a winner. You'll then be contacted and presented with your prize money!

    Please do play fair; the link must be present on your site at all times and we will randomly check throughout the month to make sure the link is there. We help each other out here; it helps our search engine optimization efforts and it gives you the chance to very easily win some money!

    happy to participate, but a question: do i have to keep the text 'cheap web hosting'? no offense, but the word cheap isn't a turn on where i'll be posting this (a savings blog, of all places!). ok if i use 'frugal', of even the company name, instead of cheap?

    Hi,

    You can go for 'budget' or 'good'. It has to correspond with our SEO efforts.

    When are you going to be doing this? I would like to participate, but would like to know what kind of a timeline that I have to get the link up. Thanks!

    Link added. I am curious to know what the cut off time is for this month? I just made the change and posted to the appropriate thread.

    I also want to know if I am allowed to submit more than one site? I control three hosting accounts and one reseller account? Am I allowed to submit 4 times? I assume that add-on domains do not count, is this correct?

    Hi Everyone,

    Just a quick update on this cash away draw. The whole purpose behind this was to create link backs for WebHostingBuzz. We aimed at least 500 link backs. So far there have a been a lot less than that AND few clients that posted the links did not follow the h1 rule.

    I have decided to give this another 4 weeks and we will set the draw regardless of how many link backs we get at the end of the day. I just want to make it worth while. The new date has been set to 30th June 2007. To make the game fair the new prize would be $1200 cash deposit instead.

    Keep linking and thanks for your support!

    What happens if you do not have 500 links on June 30th?

    This is a cool contest, I know that I have switched one user onto WHB and every time someone asks me about how to get started I tell them its very easy! First go to godaddy, then to WHB... This is a great contest, I know I would put this back into the site to pay for advertising to promote my product!


    Pick me a winner!
