The contest is now closed. Thank you to everyone that participated!
That's right! I'm giving away 10,000 Entrecard credits to one lucky person.
Imagine what you could do with 10,000 Entrecard credits! You could buy advertising on that expensive blog you've been saving for or you could hold 10 1,000 Entrecard credit contests of your own. It's up to you.
10,000 Entrecard credits is quite a bit of credits to just give away. And as you might be aware, contests usually benefit the person holding them. This is no exception, except that when you help me, you are also going to be helping yourself. I think you'll agree that it's a win-win for both of us. Are you going to be the lucky winner of 10,000 brand spanking new Entrecard credits? Good luck!
How to enter
I'm keeping this contest simple and it will take only a few minutes of your time to enter. Here's what you'll need to do to gain an entry to the contest. The more you do, the more entries you’ll have in the contest.
- Earn Two(2) Entries: Add your link into Link Listings. Simply navigate to a category that defines your blog, and then click the 'Add Site' link that will appear in the navigation bar.
Enter your site information, and forget about the reciprocal link on the Add Link form, it's not required, but it sure is appreciated if you want to reciprocate with a link on your site.
You can find out more about LinkListings.net here. AND DON’T FORGET TO COMMENT HERE TO COMPLETE YOUR ENTRY!!!
- Earn One(1) additional Entry: Write a Post. Write a post telling your readers about the contest. The two things you need to include in the post are a link to this post here, and a link to LinkListings.net. All links should be 'nofollow' free, and feel free to use the 125 image above.
I recommend you also provide a link to the category on LinkListings.net (maybe as an example to your Entrecard readers) where your listing will be displayed when it is approved. It will give your listing there a little more 'oomph' to help drive more traffic to your own site later on. You don’t need to, it would simply help things if you did.
Feel free to use this graphic if you want (source code is on the Add Link screen on LinkListings.net):
- Comment here. You'll need to let me know that you have completed one or more of the above steps. Simply leave me a comment with the link to the post you wrote on your blog. The link to the post should be left in the comment area and not the URL field. (The URL field gets truncated beyond the root domain, so leave your full link in the comment area)
- Get Verified. Once you complete the above, I'll see your comment here and I'll then verify the above steps have been completed. Once I verify the above steps were completed properly, I will email you to confirm your entry and leave a comment here in response. Please allow me 24 to 48 hours, perhaps longer if things go crazy. Either way, you can check back here to ensure you are entered.
That's all there is to it! Good luck to you!
Rules, Regulations, Things that go ‘huh’
Of course, things need to be fair and balanced, so there are a few rules. Common sense will reign.
- You must complete all the above steps, and they must be verified by me. If there are any problems with your entry, I'll inform you via email, so leave a valid email address.
- The final winner will be rechecked prior to prize distribution. That means, your post needs to still be available after the contest has closed.
- The contest will start on from Monday. February 16, 2009 at 12:00 AM and will end one month from that day on Monday, March 16, 2009 at 12:00 AM or after 7 consecutive days pass without a new entry.
- Any and all disputes will be addressed by myself and I am the final word. Makes sense since I started this contest. You are free to voice any concerns here, I never delete a non-spam comment, and public opinion can also weigh in, but again, I'm the final word.
- Links in your post are required to be nofollow free, as all my links are here.
- Entries with invalid emails will be discarded. Make sure you give me some way to contact you if you're the winner!
- Comments on this post will be closed when the contest ends. I’ll update this post to supply a link to the winner announcement post.
- Each contestant will get a chance at three entries into the pool of entries. The winner will be picked by a random number generator on the web at a third party website. Each entry will be numbered sequentially in the order that they are input into the pool. A random number between 1 and the max number of entries will be selected by the website, thusly selecting the winner.
- In the end, common sense will apply and anything I might have missed will be supplied upon request.

[b]The contest is now closed.[/b] I’m holding the drawing, good luck to everyone that made it in!
I have you down for 2 entries Blogger Templates
Added my blog : http://bloggerstop.net
Great, I will add my link although not entering the contest.
Thanks Wayne
You’re welcome MyKitty, thank you for participating. Best of luck to you.
Lindsayanng, there’s already an Arts category on there. Check it out: http://www.linklistings.net/directory/Arts.aspx
It could probably stand to have a poetry category though
I think that you should just create an ARTS category and put photography under there. Photography is not “recreation” for everyone. my hubby is a pro photog.. recreation doesnt sound right to me.
Arts or Fine Arts would be good. Then you can have all types of art.. poetrty, writing, paintings, graphics, etc.
Hi, Wayne, thank you for your help!
I’ve been successfully listed in the Society/Sub-culture category and I’m the first one to be listed there. The following is the link:
http://www.linklistings.net/directory/Society_Subcultures.aspx
Thanks again and wiah you the best!
MerapuLand, you have been added with 2 entries. Thanks for the post and link addition, good luck!
Rich, sure thing! Are you not adding a link?
Kyra, I’ve updated your entries +1 for a total of 5 entries now. Thanks for getting back to me. Good luck!
MyKitty, thanks for adding your link again to the list. It’s approved, and so are the 2 entries you now have. Good luck!
Things seems to be slowing down a bit, wonder how I might kick things up again. Any ideas out there?
Just posted about this giveaway and LinkListings.net on this blog. Thanks again for running this contest and setting up your directory!
Well… First i want to tell you to don’t be upsead about you will see. And i really want you to know that i couldn’t download any of those pictures from my Gmail application… I don’t know why! But i putted your links to the contest in all my blogs! And… Third… Don’t be mad about what i just wrote there…(?)
If you will ask I’ll delete that and I’ll writte in the way that you want!
Great idea Wayne. Let me know how it turns out.
I also did a post for this conter
refer http://merapuland.com/win-10000-entrecard-credits/
I have added my link to your directory.
Ah gotcha. I forgot about that, thanks for reminding me. Makes perfect sense now that I realize it. duh!
I’ve added you in with 4 entries. If you do those posts, just come back and let me know. Thanks for the brain assist, and good luck Kyra!
Heh, yeah, I did mean to comment to enter the contest, but I also meant to make a quick post about it and was going to wait until I’d posted (plus I wasn’t sure whether you needed to make a post to enter or not). But yes, I’d like to enter; I’ve added this blog and my other one, http://lostquiteclassically.today.com, to your list, with graphics for them on my sidebars.
Aywren, absolutely! If you have two different sites, meaning unique domains and they both have the Entrecard widget, and you entered those into the directory, then you have 4 entries into the contest. Good luck and thanks for entering!
Karen Henry, thanks for entering and for suggesting a category. You have 2 entries into the contest, good luck!
Blockhead Rod, thanks for adding your site to the Radio category. I will say that if you share this contest with your listeners, that’s worth another entry. You have 2 entries into the contest, good luck! Let me know if you put it on the air!
Ann Tracy, yes, this is where you leave your link to finalize the entry. I’m sorry to hear about Tootsie, nice looking cat. My cats are still traumatized by the introduction of Tigger, our half husky shepherd. That made me laugh when I read that on your post. You are down for 2 entries, good luck!
HI Wayne… I’m a little confused, but that’s nothing new. I submitted my blog to your new link listings, but didn’t know where to post a comment! Is this the place?
I also suggested that you add a PR category under business and then wrote a little article about doing PR in tough economic times with a link to my blog where I am now featuring an award for businesses that give back to their communities.
take care
Ann
Hi Wayne,
Thanks for the contest and I really like your site LinkListings. Gonna keep watch on it and would like to share the info about with our listeners………
Blockhead
Thank you for adding a Books category. I added my site to your listings earlier today.
Karen Henry
I have actually submitted two of my EC blogs to the site. I’m not sure if I can do that — if not, that’s fine. Just count me in for one! If I can, here’s the two I’ve submitted:
http://www.wrenwings.com
http://www.wayrift.com
Thanks!
Heh heh, Vanea, guess that’s what happens when Entrecard themselves post about the contest. I won’t forget about you Bell, lol.
All you need to do to get the image is right-click on it, save it to your drive, then add it to your blog like any other image you have Bell. Contact me through my contact form if you have issues.
Toni, no problems. You’ve inspired me to do my ‘How to comment’ post, which quite actually should have been done long time ago. I just feel the inspiration to write it today for some reason. I know most bloggers can understand that. I have you down for 2 entries, good luck!
Wayne… Please give me the source code for E.C. Contest image.png . Please… Bell
Here is a more correct link: sigh..new to all this.

Hi Wayne,
I did the linky thing. I was so excited to be the first one in the Antiques catagory that I forgot to come back and leave a comment. Thank you for reminding me! Actually, I was going to write a post to get an extra entry but haven’t done that yet. Here is my address: PlowandPony.blogspot.com
Thanks!
God, Wayne! 69 comments! I’m happy for you and i hope you will not forgett about your little friend Bell.
It seems that 10.000 EC are pretty something! I’ll make a blog post about the contest… Yea. Ok! Bye brother! Wow…!
Thanks for entering Adam, I have you down for 3 entries. Good luck Adam!

Entrecard is one of the best ways to get targetted traffic to your site? You really want to stand behind a comment like that John?

Rhonda, thanks! That’s always nice to hear, and it’s very appreciated. I have you down for 2 entries, good luck!
Kaynere, I’m sorry to say it, but the post is almost there. The post doesn’t quite meet the specs given above. I’m going to assume you’ll get it, and I’ll email you on the side as well. However, when we do the drawing and it’s the ticket that would be for your post, and the post is still not done, you will not win. Don’t let that happen! If you’d like some help, feel free to ask me. I have you down for 2 entries and 1 pending.

Hi, Wayne,
I’m sorry that I mis-placed my blog in the adult section. Thank you for your suggestion of Society/Subculture. However, when I add my site to this listing, I’m rejected and they replied that I’m already in the directory. I would appreciate if you can give me advice on what I can do next.
Thank you in advance for your attention and help.
