We all know that from time to time I like to hold and participate in contests. I think that one of the requirements of blogging should be to have fun. This is the second round of The AdSpace Contest. The winner of this round shall receive their ad on close to 40 blogs for a whole month. Not a bad way to get some free promotion. The rules and guidelines are below. Enjoy!

Once again, it’s time for The AdSpace Contest and I’m proud to announce that I am one of 10 co-hosts.

The idea is simple: Get as many entries as you can (very easy to do) before October 15th. The more entries you get, the better chance you have of winning! Shortly after the 15th, we’ll announce the winner.

The prize?

A 125×125 pixel ad spot (above the fold) on at least TEN DIFFERENT BLOGS that will run for one month. That’s at least a $100 value! Last month’s prize grew to be ad spots on 45 blogs!

Who else is co-hosting?

• Jamaipanese
• Best of Stupid
• AxioBlog
• The Big Bald Blog
• Jason Boom
• Unconventional Marketing Blog
• GorillaSushi
• Geek Mom Mashup
• It Might Be Love
• Mr. Javo

How do you enter to win?

• 1 Entry – Subscribe to any one of the blogs above via email (if you subscribed last month, you’re already entered again!).
• 5 Entries – Twitter about the contest with a link to this post (new!)
• 10 Entries – Write a post about the contest (must include links to all 10 hosts OR use our suggested text)
• 25 Entries – Offer up an ad spot on your own blog for one month as part of the prize package (links will be listed above)

Simply put, you could subscribe to all 10 blogs, write a post, twitter about it and offer up your own ad spot for a grand total of 50 entries! Fill out the form below once you’ve got your entries done.

Contest ends October 15th. Good Luck!

What does it mean to pay it forward to you? Normally, how I perceive paying it forward is along the same lines as doing a good deed for someone else, because all of us have had a flat tire before. A lot of times, I do things for people that I really don’t know why, whether it is offering a ride or to just lend a hand. Online people do the exact same thing in regard to paying it forward. I happened to come across one such blog and blogger by the name of Vic.

Vic runs the blog bloggerunleashed.com and tells it like it is. A famous saying I hear over and over again as I watch his videos is, “It is what it is.” There is no lying or bull coming from this guy, as he tells it like it is. He is unapologetic in his language and isn’t afraid to leave you hanging while tending to his kids.

The most important aspect that I like about Vic and bloggerunleashed.com is his ability to keep things really simple and
truly encourage you to make money online. He has a great knowledge of SEO (search engine optimization) and working with deep links and backlinks across all types of websites. If you haven’t visited his blog, you must. It is what it is and you can take it or leave it. He is true to his character and will tell it like it is, every time.

Vic is also launching a contest called Mission: Possible. He is going to take 100 bloggers for what will probably be the first-of-its-kind study to offer the same guidance and instruction for the largest competition. He will be setting up 100 sites all at the same and will be giving the same SEO instructions to everyone. The bloggers involved in the competition are not allowed to blog about making money online or about blogging. This contest / group study will be quite interesting to watch and see who can follow instructions the best. At this point I am going to throw my hat into the ring and learn how to
grow natural search engine traffic. I  recommend you do the same if you are interested.

Don’t forget that the winner of the competition will receive a trip to Las Vegas for Blog World Expo for one week, plus $500 and more…
