Bloggin-Ads Contest

Posted by ksc7 | |

It’s a contest that I am participating in. There will be 12 winners, 1 for every prize group. I am a sponsor for Group 9 and I am giving away 50 entrecards and a 125x125 ad for a month. There are many prizes, some of them very generous. Just scroll down and you will see. By posting the contest details I am entering the contest myself. All the prizes and links to the sponsors are bellow. For more details you can follow the link above to Bloggin-Ads.

Contest Duration - 1/11/08 ’til 1/31/08 (11:59:00PM PST)

Prizes

There are going to be 12 different groups of prizes, which means there are going to be a total of 12 different winners. By adding up the value of all the prizes, I would say it is worth a least $1,000. Just for Max’s sponsorship of “500″ One Buck Wiki pages total a value of $500, which makes it one heck of a contest.

Pyramid scheme?

In regards to the site, it does not appear to be a pyramid scheme since it does not meet the characteristics of other online “money making” -join and become a millionaire projects.

Although for growth the website relies on referrals, (see link bellow), it does not require members/users to pay for joining.

It is primarily geared towards people who like playing short flash games. The catch is that you have to watch a short advertisement before you actually play the game. I don’t know how feasible it is to actually double the initial penny, they will offer by joining, 30 times to over 10, 000, oo0 but from using the site I have brought my balance up just over 4 dollars and 30 cents. It’s not something I would quit my job over but it is something that has gotten me thinking.

Congratulations to the people who have come up with the idea.

But how feasible would it be to turn this idea into profit? From a business side of things:

Cost… The website looks like someone has put a lot of work in making it and it looks that it might cost a lot to maintain and update.

I read on their site that it is a world wide patent pending concept. What are they looking at, I am not a lawyer but I would think that to register something for world wide patent protection you would need a few hundred thousand dollars? If not more?

How far will their product go, what are they selling? Entertainment? Or are they trying to tap into to the ever present characteristic of greed and the hopes of people who will be willing to watch an ad and then play, and then watch and play again and again. How long will people, their customers be willing to use it if there is no hope to make more money?

Anyhow, although I will keep the moola thing going there is another thing that I think will be interesting to examine

I want to see if I can make this blog grow, have people read it at least…What are the steps what is the process of actually make something like this work?
