Week 3 Winner & Blogging Idol Update

I know this post is a bit behind schedule but I have been waiting to hear back from the winner of the 1,000 Entrecard credits with their details so I could announce them. I’ve now sent them the credits, so without further delay, here is the announcement.

The winner this week is…

Net Bucks blog

Net Bucks is a fairly new blog where you’ll find some other great contests they have posted about, so check out the Net Bucks blog and support them if you like what you see. Remember, there is still another chance to win at the end of this week, so remember to subscribe if you haven’t already.

Blogging Idol Update #3

Things have been going well as far as DotComDud.com gaining subscribers goes. In fact as of today, my FeedBurner count is sitting at 96, so that’s just 4 subscribers away from 100! So if you haven’t already subscribed, help me out so I can reach triple digits. I’ve added the FeedBurner count widget to the subscription area in the sidebar, so everyone can see how things are going from day to day.

I am currently in position #34 on the Blogging Idol Scoreboard, although it hasn’t updated in a few days (even though it’s a “live” scoreboard) so that will probably change again soon.

The open voting has started on Blogging Idol but I realise that at this point I probably will not win. Unfortunately I didn’t get all my plans together in time to send my strategies in, which is what most of the voting will be based off (I would think). I’m fine with that though as the whole experience of Blogging Idol has obviously had a positive effect on DotComDud.com with subscribers already tripling over the past 3 weeks.

I still plan on doing a few new things that were originally going to be part of my Blogging Idol strategy, so the competition has definitely given me inspiration to push DotComDud.com forward and I still plan on gaining as many subscribers before December as possible. I wish I had of found out about the contest earlier, so I could prepare my plans for it better but I’ll just have to remember to keep an eye out for Blogging Idol #3 instead.

New Contest Sponsor

I was also contacted by another site wishing to sponsor the DotComDud Thanksgiving Contest so I’ve updated the contest post. The new sponsor and prizes are;

1 month 125×125 ad @ Anything Goes

If you’d like to become a sponsor of the contest and get some exposure on DotComDud.com just contact me and let me know.
