About a week ago , Jason Pereira from theuniversitykid.com contacted me from Entrecard in order to know if I was interested in sponsoring one of his contest.
Of course , I normally don’t do anything unless I get something worthwhile in return but when I knew that the contestants had to post the list of prizes containing a link to the sponsor in order to gain more entries for the event , I couldn’t pass up.
The rewards I offered:
1000 Entrecard credits
A free 125×125 banner for a month , a free text link ad on Neotrepreneur and a Free review on this blog.
A free 30 min consultation about any online venture’s questions you had.
If you noticed , all these rewards do not ask me for any investment except for my time( and God knows I got lots of that.)
Results:
My technorati rating is 54 and I have a rank of 140k which is approximatively half of what it used to be before the contest.
P.s: Technorati is important for It used as a pricing guideline for Sponsored Reviews.
The morale:
When you are asked to give out free stuff , always look for the possible benefits of doing so.

From March 11th 2008 , Stumbleupon has implemented a Captcha code to prevent people with stumbleupon bots like me to post and spam reviews.
Now , the reviews spamming stopper doesn’t really bother me but what does is that in order to post tags, i hate to enter a stupid captcha. So basically , the traffic I could get from being featured on tags is out the window.
Oh well, I can still use the stumbles to drive traffic through my website. These will show my pages when an user use the stumble feature in their toolbar.
P.s: In my decision to screw a bit with Stumbleupon, I’m offering 100 stumbles for FREE to the first 5 people to comment here with an url of their choice that they want to be stumbled by me and my teams of bots so I suggest you GET IN FAST PEOPLE!!

I recently purchased a proxy package containing these features:
12 adsense optimized proxy templates
90% rebate on hosting with the ever reliable proxy hoster
Hagiohost.
A stumbleupon traffic generator preloaded with 100 accounts( Fuck yeah. I’m going to so exploit this script)
A proxy ebook ( Pretty basic Stuff I already knew) .
And all this for 10 bucks! ( This goes to show that once in awhile you can find a rare gem in the load of crap vendors and products that are available on the internet.)
Let’s see what I can and cannot use :
Proxy templates:
Better adsense CTR. Who wouldn’t want that?
Hagiohosting:
A fucking fine and dandy 90% rebate on hosting. I say what? I say Good Game to all the crap hosts . Hagio host is reputable for their proxy packages.
Stumbleupon script:
Would have normally cost me about 100 quids to get my hands on the original script ,But a site that I can use whenever I want for my stumbles is fine by me.
Plus , I don’t need to only use it on my proxies . I can also use this on my Naruto shippuden website.
Proxy ebook:
Not much new info for me but still a nice addition.
In conclusion , I will be able to make proxies at a low cost , create a new traffic source for my websites and flip proxies again.
Not a bad investment eh?
