Thanks Matts Nutts

Recently I entered a competition run over at Matts Nutts for 1000 Entrecard credits. The competition was judged on the best joke submitted. I found a corker, it is:

Bob was in trouble. He forgot his wedding anniversary. His wife was really pissed.

She told him “Tomorrow morning, I expect to find a gift in the driveway that goes from 0 to 200 in 6 seconds AND IT BETTER BE THERE !!”

The next morning he got up early and left for work. When his wife woke up, she looked out the window and sure enough there was a box gift-wrapped in the middle of the driveway.

Confused, the wife put on her robe and ran out to the driveway, brought the box back in the house.

She opened it and found a brand new bathroom scale.

Bob has been missing since Friday.

So I entered very quickly indeed and was the first entry. Low and behold I managed to hold the competition off due to the jokes wide appeal and won the 1000 credits.

Now I am pondering what I will be doing with this prize.

PS: I also sent the joke to Ferrari Dave who is running a simple contest for free Entrecard credits. Check it out at Win 500 Entrecard Credits.


Win 500 Entrecard Credits

Recently I joined the free Entrecard service in order to attract more traffic. An Entrecard is an online business card of sorts and is used to “drop” on other bloggers websites who also participate in the service. Whenever you drop a card you, and the person receiving the card, are given an Entrecard Credit (EC). Accumulated EC’s are then used to purchase advertising slots from other network participants.

As you can appreciate in order to make 500 credits it is 500 drops of the card. This equates to a minimum of 1 and a half days as card dropping is capped at 300 per day. Now I have found that Ferrari Dave is giving away 500 EC’s in one foul swoop at Win 500 Entrecard Credits with a very simple competition. This is invaluable for anyone starting up as credits means traffic. If you can manage to capture some of that traffic then that will turn into readership, and if you monetize, will turn into cash.

As my blog is still developing I am keen to grab the 500 EC’s, so expect some hefty but friendly competition.
