MyBlogLog Marketing Contest – Microsoft Zune Vs Nicole

In a effort to build a large MyBlogLog community, Andy Beal, offered up a Microsoft Zune media player as a prize to random member of his community. Now I had joined my bloglog a while back and at the time of Andys announcement of this contest we were at about the same number of members right around 100 each. I thought I would challenge Andy testing a different route. Instead I would use a avatar of Nicole as my community screenshot (I emailed mybloglog people to make sure this was ok). And so it begins…

Microsoft Zune

As of today MarketingPilgrilm has 143 Members and ShoeMoney has 233 Members. Go Nicole!

P.S. I challenged Andy Beal at this it was not like it was a agreed upon contest. He might not even know about it lol.

  2. Helga

  3. coop

    hmmm i believe people do this on myspace tooo…. but not sure!!! lol

  4. bear

    the power of a pretty lady lol

    Zune the iPod Killer?

  5. Jose

    Screw the Zune. Where’s the link to Nicole’s page?
    And a wallpaper gallery please.

    My guess is that she wasn’t actually “hired,” but she was asked if her pic could be used on the site. You can see her Hooters uniform under the Shoe t-shirt in the pic. I don’t think struggling internet marketers work at Hooters to make ends meet. :)

  7. Leonard

    It’s a tough choice. Can I just have both?

  8. andrew wee

    There’s some hypnotization gig going on with the Shoemoney logo or the fact that Nicole’s wearing it, or both.

    Every time I get into MBL, I kinda lost track of time and the next thing I know I’ve ‘lost time’. I might be part of the new 4400 (or the 4401)…

  9. andrew wee

    Like Neil says. Looking at a Zune doesn’t stop my breathing…

  10. Brett

    I guess I would take the girl :)

  11. Nicholas

    This is hilarious… Go Nicole! If it were a 42 inch plasma tv I would jump at the chance… personally, I only have around 10 members at mybloglog commmunity.. I’ll be thinking up ways of doing this…

    I have months and months of FORTUNE magazine subscriptions, maybe I could use those as a nice incentive…

  12. Zune (GeorgeB)

    Any contest where I win a Zune will beat out chicks hands down for me anyway…. Well considering I’m married and I like have no game. :(

  13. Dr G

    Hi Nicole…oh yeah hi shoe ;)

  14. Caydel

    Sorry Shoe, but I think this may be an unfair competition, proving nothing at all.

    I think this more reflects the relative size of the readerships for your blogs rather than community preference :P

  15. Andy Piper

    Hot Avatars win. Yup. I am a community member of both blogs and I actually read them – not just look at the pictures. I think bloglog rocks as well.

  16. ShoeMoney

    ya i think i linked to the wrong post lol…

  17. ShoeMoney

    Actually she just got hired 4 days ago. The first week is initiation

  18. Diorex

    Is Shoe’s new employee just a walking sexual harassment case waiting to happen. She got hired a week ago and she is already being pimped out.

    I sure hope she got hired for her programming or SEM knowledge or something other than that she looks good in a ShoeMoney shirt.

  19. Chris

    Mybloglog (yes I’m a member) seems a bit pointless to me. Wasn’t the contest originally for RSS subscribers?

  20. Yuri

    No, Andy. The one who spends the least amount of effort (like Shoe) to get an equal amount of members, wins ;) Why would anyone wasting tons of time and such, anyway.

  21. Cygnus

    As far as I’m concerned, you both will win by turning people onto the mybloglog community; bookmark both of these sites people.

  22. Laura Alter

    Girls always win. It’s in the rules. Jeremy is just smart enough to run with it. :)

    Girls FTW!

    Laura

  23. ShoeMoney

    mebe unfortunately I have zero time for something like this =( Mostly fire and forget. Let me know who wins!

  24. Andy Beal

    It will be fun to see. I think the winner would be the one who spends the most energy trying to attract members. Unfortunately for me, I spend too much of my time in the “white” area, while you know a lot of the “gray” hangouts. ;-)

  25. Neil Patel

    I think readers want to get their hands on Nicole ;) .

  26. Josh

    Nicole is eyecandy…lets face it, sex sells.

  27. ShoeMoney

    its linked now… so you accept my challenge!

  28. Andy Beal

    BTW – I noticed you weren’t confident enough to actually link back to the contest page. ;-)

  29. Andy Beal

    I have one advantage – readers can actually get there hands on a Zune! ;-)

  30. sleeper

    That is amazing considering you do not get nearly the traffic that Andy gets on his blog that has been around forever.
