i am shocked i haven’t won the daily contest yet.
Didn’t you have like 3 macbook airs and 40 ipod nanos at one time? I thought that’s what you are giving away here but now I see you have a sponsor.
What ever did happen to those? I’d like to know, I probably missed the blog post where you mentioned it.
Wow, I had no idea you were running this contest! All this time i thought people just liked interacting with your blog. I had no idea that there was a free prize involved! Thats great!
the macbook air’s I gave to the speakers at the elite retreat as a thank you. Apple ended up refunding us for the ipods even though they are all engraved.
Sweet contest. Sign me up!
oh man, I forgot about this!
man, that’s an awesome prize, i would like to have it ^^
Well, good luck to all of you!
How on earth had I not heard about this contest yet? Is this for real?
Now if only I could come up with something witty to say… hmm… should I feel guilty for commenting just for the sake of entering the contest?
good luck to everyone in the comment contest
Keep meaning to comment. Not too bothered about a new macbook. I’m just in it for the shoemoney shirt ; )
Hey,
I have just subscribed to your twitter and saw this message, and I came straight away, very awesome!
Good luck to everyone!
Wondering if you can ship it to Romania, I’m feeling lucky as Google once said.
I’m wondering what kind of increase you’ve had in your comments for July/August – is it a huge amount? What about overall visitors? Do you think the comp is helping to increase your rss subscribers?
oh man that is quite a prize! Even a Shoemoney shirt is a pretty sweet prize!
EVERBODY STOP COMMENTING! The Mac Air Book is MINE!
I don’t really have anything to say about this post but I do want a chance at the mac.
I’m curious to know how will you draw the winner ?
shoemoney’s shirt is as valuable as the macbook air for some
maybe 20% increase or so… Traffic and increase traffic to advertisers is up so its working
select name from winners order by rand() limit 1;
I really need a new computer, I am crossing my fingers!
really nice price.. i wonder who will be the winner..
well, you still have 20 opportunities left to win it.
Good luck!
I have to win twice…so much work!
I can already feel it on my lap… oh wait.
Cool idea. It’s becoming more and more tempting to “go Mac”. That would certainly push me over the edge.
It must have my name on it. I can tell by the smile on your face, Jeremy
I ve already typed my first post with it . …..thanks Shoey , thanks ACS consulting for this wonderful pize….
I ve won both..Double value, no cost
Are you growing a beard or was it just one of those days?
Instead of 2 monthly, you should make it monthly
Can’t wait for 18 days..
have won only 1 time, very less chances
I wonder how long it would take me to get used to using a mac after years and years of pc. I have to admit their marketing campaign has me wondering what i’ve been missing.
Great contest!
I have yet to get chosen. So upsetting. i want that damn MacAir
I sure hope I can win one of those t-shirts, I love the shoemoney logo
I’ve never won anything either, but this seems like a pretty easy contest to enter… no blog spam to it – just write a comment
Nice! *Fingers Crossed*
Just 20 days to win one of the free t-shirts!
spam, i mean just provide more content in more comments…
You are officially signed up. Congrats!
where do I sign up? I love apple Mac!!!!!!!!!!
Where do I sign up? I love Apple Mac !!!!!!!!!!!
I want to comment more but im lazy =(
Been a steady read but a reluctant commenter up to now – count me in, I’d love to win that cute little laptop!
I would love to win it that would be pretty neat for on the go!
Genie, I wish for that macbook air!
But, is there an increase in spammy or post for the sake of it “posts”?
Cool contest. Thanks for putting it on! Crossing my fingers.
pick me man…… pick me robot!
Another genius idea from this blog. I have been reading for over a year with nary a comment. I see now I’m going to have to pick it up. ;-D
I think for the next contest you should give away a Rock Band set. The pictures are awesome and from what I hear you are quite the drummer. Great meeting and hanging out with you last week.
I’d be just as happy with a cheaper Macbook
i like my optical drives
is there an independent auditing agency monitoring these raffles?
So is this comment an entry into the raffle?
Can you tell me what softwares you use for contacts and email. I need that Mack Air…
Thanks
I hope I get a chance to win!!! I could really use a macbook air for my job and for college!
wow, I am excited man…btw, do you mean the comment contest will continue for the succeeding months/future?
LOL, I feel it on my desk too together with my desktop….
well i believe it isnt just all about commenting,,, its more about giving back for all the achievements of this blog…
everyone has equal chances maybe except for chetan who has won twice… but well a shirt is enough for me…
Well, I’m not sure that I’m sold on the idea of the super-think notebook. A college student in Toronto accidentally threw his out with some newspaper on his desk, and it got recycled. But hey, for free… (and I hope this comment wins, it would be ironic)
I want to win this contest. Actualy, I need because I can’t pay for this, I’m from 3th world.
It’s a random drawing, thus purely based on trying and luck people! OH REALLY, is what you’ll say, but stop saying you never won like it’s a mystery, not everyone can win! But wouldn’t it be nice?
Jeremy, It has been difficult for me to keep up with my five blogs and my learning .PHP Wordpress and CSS to build my real website, leaving little time to tweet or twitter.
I am seeing increased traffic to all of my blogs using FeedJit on each blog. Jonathan Volk has been providing some ideas for how to make my non-monetized blogs produce income. Respectfully, Nicholas http://www.donotreadthisblogunless.blogspot.com
Wow man, very good, I would like to have a macbook air.
Good luck to all.
I cant wait , hopefully I win ,
If you were just starting out now what would you sell for starters.
Sounds good the chances of winning are pretty high as well.
wtf! LOL… is that really true?
as what shoe said, they can ship it for free as long as they can legally
I am a hardcore PC fan, but mac’s style is truely irresistible.
I read everyday but now i need to start commenting.
I’m happy I have a chance at the MacBook Air as I was the 8-8-08 daily winner. I think the fact that 8 is my favorite and lucky number that it is a sign the MacBook Air will be mine on September 1st.
Actually, come to think of it…Jeremy…Can the draw be on September 8th?
The fact that you get to be featured in the gallery wearing the Shoemoney shirt makes it worth it.
The funny thing is I shave my head so people might think I’m trying to imitate Jeremy.
Well this gives me some motivation to comment more instead of just “lurking”
I love your top
I want one 
Yes, good luck to all. I am not in
I didn’t get even the free T-shirt to participate in the big contest!
I think the only way I will ever convert to a Mac user is if I win this contest, lol.
well, he won 3 times the daily contest
Are there any duplicate names?
j/j
)
I’d think select email from winners where name=’Rasim’ order by rand() limit 1; would be better
What if the rand() ‘name’ comes up as ShoeMoney?
Also, can we have rand() limit 10; for the shoemoney shirts as a secondary winners?
an entry to the daily draw, yes…but to have a chance to the macbook pro, you got to have your name onto the contest details page
Never owned a MAC before. Have used it in past but never owned one. I won once in the drawing. But never got the email for the t-shirt checked spam and all. Hopefully I will win.
Bummer I haven’t even won the daily yet, but 20 days left is plenty of time. thx Shoe.
you don’t have to sign-up anywhere…read this page for more details: http://www.shoemoney.com/commentcontest/
shout an email to jeremy…i’m sure he will get back to you pretty quick
I think several people have won more than once, no?
I was all linux, all the time… then I got an iMac and haven’t looked back. I still use linux for servers, but mac is the king of the desktop as far as I’m concerned.
That was nice of them!
Was it a 100% refund?
There definitely should be a gallery with snaps of the winners in the shirts… am I just not seeing it?
Was there a grand prize drawing on August 1, or is everyone getting wrapped up into the September drawing?
Hehe I wish I could afford a ticket there.
no! the drawing is on sept.1… how i wish the macbook giveaway is monthly… LOL
This is awesome you are doing this shoe. MAC’s are Sweet! Also thanks to ACS for sponsoring! Hope I can get in on a daily winning to be entered for a chance to win.
If we’re gonna wish… we might as well wish for macbook giveaway daily.
I don’t know if Shoe is going to mail to the third world if you can’t pay for the customs taxes! I wonder how much that would be on an Air.
You need deep pockets to fund this type of genius idea…
Can success come this much down to 90th comment? hey bald man, how are you selecting the winner.
oh wow, how I would love to win this!
What a great contest. I could really use a new laptop.
From WIki:
Does a bear poop in the woods?
It would be better if it is the HP mini one netbook, at least the odds are better for everyone.
pls jeebus let me win ze air
yeh, chetan won thrice and couple of others won twice..
I think shoe should give away those ipods too
I’d love to win the MacBook Air!
You dont understated how important this was to me. I envied every Mac user who had a MacBook because I know how powerful it is. This Laptop manages to be brighter, longer lasting, faster, lighter, and thinner than my old Dell. In fact, it beats even the new Dell machine I was considering on every physical characteristic.
It is hard to get excited about winning this laptop. But a win is a win. It makes good practice. Good luck to all of you.
That would be a nice gift for my b-day
I’m glad to have read this positive post, even thought the first was… I am ready to receive my macbook on Sept 1.
Hey Andrew, Thank you! I’m going to do that right now.
Oh Shit, I cannot miss this man, I am in !!!
Can I have one shoe ? I have had 50+ coments in the past with name of “Apoorv” :p
Yeah!!!!!!!!! But a Macbooks way much better !!!!!!!!!
There’s the regular gallery with peeps wearing Shoemoney shirts so if any of the daily winners want to get added they just need to send their pick of them wearing the shoemoney shirt. I just won mine on Friday and they were shipping it this week, so sometime next week or so I’ll be sending in my mugg shot of me wearing the shirt
That’s a cool prize – someone will be very happy on 1st September!
That seems so close…20 days? And I haven’t yet started spamming…errr commenting!
wow macbook, My dream notebook
I tip my hat to your awesome and ingenious ways to get more traffic and links.
And I painfully find myself commenting for a chance to win.
To be honest, I don’t know what I’d love more. The T-shirt or the macbook.
If I get a T-shirt, I shall create the awesomest of awesome online shoemoney tributes.
Suffice to say, it will involve my hairy moobs.
I believe I could win MacBook Air, although this is my first comment here
If I win a tshirt, I will put it on make a pic and publish on my blog:)
I also didn’t receive the email, not even in the spam folder. Never received it. But then I contacted Jeremy and the t-shirt is on the way
I don’t know what would be better… the T-shirt or the mac!
Either way, a Shoemoney tribute website would follow containing pics of my moobs.
Comments aren’t working for me. Boo hiss.
This is true. I think the ticket will cost good money.
Vin Diesel shave a head too. -))))) I think it is not so important. -)
A bird pooped on me today, Does that mean I’m lucky or that I need a new T-Shirt?
I’d like to win, so this zero content comment is just for entering the contest. Thanks.
I was looking for information about DMOZ, and I found an article about this site.
So I’m here.
Anyway. Just to say it’s a website I’ll remember!
May I ask:
I know the winners are picked at 5 before midnight, but which timezone are you talking about?
drool ahhh drool, love it..Shoe how much of a traffic % / Comment % increase have you seen since launching this comp’ ?
I like the picture of the iPod Army…
I can’t pass this contest up- my computer is over four years old. You’re the man Shoemoney!
I need a new laptop and I want a Mac, maybe this one. Maybe an Ipod instead?
Hope so…
Wowo, but i think people are missing the point since this post has the most comments. Its for commenting on other posts too for this month.
So many ipods! I would love to win a new laptop. Mine is dieing. :*(
Hi, I’m the little lamb with Shoemoney logo on my wool. Would love a macbook so I can get off this stinky farm…nobody understands IM here. Baaaaah!
What a great Idea! Shoe you rock!
That’s the best part about winning a shirt in the first place
There’s probably an increase of both, but he has a lot of anti-spam stuff in place (lots of posts about it).
What beats a free macbook? Nothing.
Damn, need to get on this contest for sure!
i need to win. im dead broke. plus i need a new mac badly. this compaq i use right now sucks a big one.
im confused whered my post go? im such a dork.
Whoohoo, I’m one of the one day winners… first of the month. Wonder how many luck I have.
I already won a Shoemoney shirt so i am already happy. I am planning to get a picture taken with it at some cool place to post it on my blog. Shoemoney shirts do look awesome and nobody has one where a live buahahaha.
How does this contest work? Is it just the most random comment or what? If so, I think your hot!!!! I would love to pick your brain and win a Mac.
I’m using the law of attraction every day on my Shoemoney Shirt…. that’s gotta work, right? =\
Those Macbook Airs look amazing.
What an awesome idea! Shoemoney is the best!
I’d be really happy if I won the Macbook Air!
WOW…I haven’t visited this shoe for about a month and I am Sooooooooooooo glad I did…because I…ME…This girl….I want that Lappy toppy! It would nmake me slapppy happy!
Mine is a recycled viao and is prob 5 years old….and right now it is in the shop and I dont’ know if it is going to ever get well again. It might be terminal.
Me, ME pick ME!
LOL
Great contest…you’re the best.
Southern smiles and world peace,
Sharon
Hey TEKFIRM… I saw your post/comment and want you to know that all fish have worms as well as beef and every other animal you eat…that is why you should always eat it cooked…unless you like raw worms or half cooked worms. Did you know that there are no less then 9 worms in the hind quarters of a cow??? eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeck
Me…I don’t eat red meat.
Bon Appetit
Sharon
Are these macbook airs already bought? Since there’s a rumor of the mba line being renewed in september.
I’m currently naked, so a t-shirt would be most welcome.
The last should come first in this contest right?? I purposely comment last to try to win…but its never worked out! Great site keep up the good work.
God, I love this website.
Great contest! A T-Shirt would rock – a laptop… would also rock… only much harder!!
I need an Ipod!! I need an Ipod!! I need an Ipod!! I also need a life. Help me win a new Mac
Thanks Shoe
Richard
Oh me oh me! I just found your site and love it! I need that lap top SOOOOO bad! My dell is literally burning up before my eyes! i am pretty sure I got it in 2003. It would rock my socks to win that thing!
Yep, nothing changes, the contest is almost over before I even get wind of it. Reckon I will have to keep an eye out for the next one.
i just cannot keep up with all the posts these days
I agree, tickets would be great. Our expense is the tickets from here in South Africa
For me for now there is no chance. GOD!!!
Whoosh, I missed this content.
the principle is a kind of wired, but still cool oO
Hmm, with the number of commenters today, I think chances of winning becomes smaller as days go by. About “The Sets 2000 Followers Limitation”, you have 4,000+ followers would it be a negative thing for you??
