This might be cheating, but what about if we take our name off his RSS, will that work?

Jeremy, do you think your numbers will significantly plummet when the contest is over? The winner should be whomever has the highest feed score one week after the contest ends. It was a good contest nonetheless. Real showdown.

Srsyly for shame Jeremey! You decide one day before hand to ask for help? C’mon bro! I was rooting for you!

Mubin said on October 30th, 2007 at 5:19 pm

I think the aim of the contest is to increase both of their subscribers not to decrease one. At the end of the day this is a marketing effort.

Heh I guess my prize is one of the grand prizes than eh? sweet.

Shoe doesn’t seem to be pushing it as much as John…. maybe that’s why shoemoney hasn’t increased much

[Reply]
Yogesh said on October 30th, 2007 at 7:15 pm

It isn’t about the number of subscribers, its about how many these two will gain in a month and this is where John is winning.

Okay, please think about what you just wrote: “The winner should be whomever has the highest feed score one week after the contest ends.” Makes no sense, does it?

I have been promoting Shoe all the way on this one. I really dont want Chow to win. But I really want to win a prize more than anything.

Same here - I have been promoting shoe as well

No matter what I do i can’t seem to “register” for the daily drawings contest… sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn’t.

Here’s hoping you can pull it back dude

I’m kinda excited to see who wins the grand prizes, perhaps more than I am to see who got more RSS subs.

[Reply]
Rulo said on October 30th, 2007 at 11:09 pm

I think that Shoe, having more suscribers to begin with, has only shared his numbers with Chow but non of them have atracted any new users. Maybe that could be the reason for Shoe to not increase his numbers so substantialy.

I haven’t won yet, but I’m hoping that today is my day!

OMG!!! This is what I call a Victory. This is exactly th e tactic ppl use on auctions, but hey, no wonder auction ads was your idea.

WTF? 4,403 in one day? I was thinking of writing a macro to add subscribers, but didn’t do it…

[Reply]
Hustle Strategy said on October 31st, 2007 at 12:30 pm

Congrats, I think…

[Reply]
Mubin said on October 31st, 2007 at 12:37 pm

A commenter on my blog has suggested shoemoney was showing an old feedburner image instead of the live chicklet to let Johnchow feel like he was winng. I thin this is what happened!

BTW! Way to pull a tortise and the hare type move.

John Loch said on November 1st, 2007 at 5:20 pm

BOLLOX !

It’s all bogus !!!
Shoe couldn’t win his way off the VIP floor, let alone beat John Chow !!
