Celebrating 100k+ Visitors with an Amazon Gift Card Giveaway!
Update: the giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered! I will post the winners shortly.
June 2011 was a big one for this blog.
We started the month with a site re-design and I began my efforts to monetize my site.
This has also been the biggest month ever in terms of traffic.
Back in April, I received a little over 95,000 unique visitors and so had set a short-term goal of 100,000 visitors per month by the summer’s end.
Well, as of 12:00am this morning, I had received…
105,785 visitors for the month of June 2011.
π―
Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much for supporting this blog and continuing to spread the word about it!
And, as a token of my appreciation β as well as a celebratory gesture β I have decided to host a giveaway from my favorite online store: Amazon!
The best part?
I will be giving away not one…not two…but THREE gift cards!
Β
ONE lucky winner will receive a $100 gift card:
Β
A second winner will receive a $50 gift card:
Β
And a third winner will receive a $25 gift card!
I must admit that I have an ulterior motive for hosting this giveaway.
You see, I have created a Facebook Page for this blog, and I would love to gain some new fans to the page.
So, as an added incentive, you will automatically be entered to the drawing three times if you “Like” the Geek in Heels Page on Facebook.
Of course, there are other ways to enter, but they only grant you one entry each.
Here are the four ways to enter this giveaway:
- Leave a comment here telling me how you would use your Amazon gift card (one entry)
- Tweet β and leave a comment here saying you did so β the following (one entry):
I just entered for a chance to win a $100, $50, or $25 Amazon gift card via @geekinheels and you can too!Β http://bit.ly/lbUolr - βLikeβ this post using the Facebook βLikeβ button at the bottom, and leave a comment here saying you did so (one entry)
- “Like” the Geek in Heels Facebook Page (threeΒ entries)
There is no need to leave a comment if you enter using method #4, as everyone who “Likes” the page will be automatically entered in the drawing. (But please note that if you are the winner, I may try to contact you via a Facebook private message.)
Obviously, you can increase your chances of winning by using all four methods.Β π
Please leave a valid email address (which will not be published or shared) when filling out the comment form so that I can contact you if you win.
The giveaway will end nextΒ Friday, July 8th, 2011 at 12:00pm EST. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator and be notified via email or a private Facebook message.
Thanks for reading, thanks for all the support, and good luck!
Edited to add, 7/2/11:
There have been quite a number of people who are commenting multiple times in hopes that this will increase their chances of winning. Since this is the largest giveaway I have run to date, I am being extra careful and have been keeping careful tabs on ALL entries (and yes, this includes IP addresses). Multiple/duplicate entries are immediately deleted, so these people are only wasting their time. And to those who are playing fair, thank you!

Hey Jenny, very cool giveaway. I’d get the Merrell Pace Glove shoes I’ve been lusting over for months… they’re sexy (for running shoes) and I think I’d be able to run easier with them. I’m hoping they’ll help my shin splints!
I liked this post, btw, and I tweeted about your giveaway. Congrats on reaching 100k!!! That’s ahhhhmazing.
Brianna E.

Maddie

I would use the amazon gift card to buy baby books- we have a baby coming beginning of August, and I have plenty of pregnancy books, but not a single “So,they baby’s here, now what?” sort of books π

This girl needs some new shoes and wants a couple books (sharon Shinn and Katharine Kerr fiction) as well as some gear for work as a substitute teacher: activity books, new whistle, craft items, etc. Sorry I don’t “do” facebook or I’d give you the bumps you asked for.
Tin-Tin
If I won, I would use the Amazon giftcard to help pay for a Britax carseat. Those things aren’t cheap and I have an 18 lb 3.5 month old baby who is growing fast!
ann
can never have to many diapers around here…so i guess that’s what i’ll use it for. thank you!
Ashley
Tons and tons of TV DVDs. As many as I could get.
Megan
We just got our first dog a month ago and it’s amazing to realize how much I’d love to spoil him (way more than our cats!) so I’d probably spend the gift card on things to make Sasha’s life more fun. Okay fine, and probably some stuff for the cats, because now I feel really guilty. π
Ashley
And I tweeted!
Janice Cooper
I’d use the card to get some bedroom items for my new niece and some hair products for myself.
