August 27, 2008 at 8:55 am
WOW! Thats an awsome prize! I’d love to have it
August 25, 2008 at 4:58 pm
I could use a new mac or any free stuff is always good even if its a damn shoemoney sticker I would be happy haha. John Chow doesnt have as good of prizes as shoemoney seems to have. That is probably the deciding factor in all the aspiring internet marketers feedburner email subscriptions.
August 23, 2008 at 2:58 am
Ooh, I want One, I want 1!!! (jumping in air)
August 21, 2008 at 5:39 am

August 18, 2008 at 5:25 am
Wow! A MacBook Air contest! Best of luck to everybody. And may the most deserving person win!
August 18, 2008 at 12:50 am

Just posting for a chance to win.
August 17, 2008 at 5:05 pm

August 17, 2008 at 7:49 am
Wow, do I ever need a new laptop. Pick me! Pick me!
August 16, 2008 at 11:20 pm
I am definitely looking to get a MacBook Air, unless I win this one

I’m 19.And High School Student.
I’m not good at englsih.
But I want to Mac Book air. : )
Because I don’t have note book ㅜㅜ
August 16, 2008 at 11:03 pm
안녕하세요 ^^
저는 한국에사는 19살 학생입니다.
영어를 잘 못해서 이게 뭔지도 잘모르겠고 그런데
받고싶습니다^^
August 16, 2008 at 2:15 pm
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??
August 16, 2008 at 12:53 pm
the principle is a kind of wired, but still cool oO
August 16, 2008 at 10:10 am
Whoosh, I missed this content.
August 15, 2008 at 4:31 am
For me for now there is no chance. GOD!!!
August 15, 2008 at 4:00 am
I agree, tickets would be great. Our expense is the tickets from here in South Africa
August 15, 2008 at 3:59 am
i just cannot keep up with all the posts these days
August 14, 2008 at 11:19 pm
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.
August 14, 2008 at 11:02 pm
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!
August 14, 2008 at 5:24 pm
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
August 14, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Great contest! A T-Shirt would rock – a laptop… would also rock… only much harder!!
August 14, 2008 at 8:32 am
God, I love this website.
August 14, 2008 at 7:27 am
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.
August 14, 2008 at 5:49 am
I’m currently naked, so a t-shirt would be most welcome.
August 14, 2008 at 5:43 am
Are these macbook airs already bought? Since there’s a rumor of the mba line being renewed in september.
August 14, 2008 at 3:56 am
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

August 14, 2008 at 3:49 am
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.

LOL
Great contest…you’re the best.
Southern smiles and world peace,
Sharon
August 13, 2008 at 11:46 pm
I’d be really happy if I won the Macbook Air!
August 13, 2008 at 10:17 pm
What an awesome idea! Shoemoney is the best!
August 13, 2008 at 10:02 pm
Those Macbook Airs look amazing.
August 13, 2008 at 8:01 pm
I’m using the law of attraction every day on my Shoemoney Shirt…. that’s gotta work, right? =\
August 13, 2008 at 5:28 pm
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.
August 13, 2008 at 5:00 pm
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.
August 13, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Whoohoo, I’m one of the one day winners… first of the month. Wonder how many luck I have.
August 13, 2008 at 2:52 pm
im confused whered my post go? im such a dork.
August 13, 2008 at 2:51 pm
i need to win. im dead broke. plus i need a new mac badly. this compaq i use right now sucks a big one.
August 13, 2008 at 2:20 pm
Damn, need to get on this contest for sure!
August 13, 2008 at 1:29 pm
What beats a free macbook? Nothing.
August 13, 2008 at 1:28 pm
There’s probably an increase of both, but he has a lot of anti-spam stuff in place (lots of posts about it).
August 13, 2008 at 1:27 pm
That’s the best part about winning a shirt in the first place
August 13, 2008 at 12:39 pm
What a great Idea! Shoe you rock!
August 13, 2008 at 12:18 pm
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!
August 13, 2008 at 12:16 pm
So many ipods! I would love to win a new laptop. Mine is dieing. :*(
August 13, 2008 at 12:13 pm
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.
August 13, 2008 at 11:46 am
I need a new laptop and I want a Mac, maybe this one. Maybe an Ipod instead?
Hope so…
August 13, 2008 at 10:55 am
I can’t pass this contest up- my computer is over four years old. You’re the man Shoemoney!
August 13, 2008 at 10:02 am
I like the picture of the iPod Army…
August 13, 2008 at 9:57 am
drool ahhh drool, love it..Shoe how much of a traffic % / Comment % increase have you seen since launching this comp’ ?
August 13, 2008 at 9:39 am
May I ask:
I know the winners are picked at 5 before midnight, but which timezone are you talking about?
August 13, 2008 at 8:43 am
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!
August 13, 2008 at 8:10 am
I’d like to win, so this zero content comment is just for entering the contest. Thanks.
August 13, 2008 at 7:41 am
A bird pooped on me today, Does that mean I’m lucky or that I need a new T-Shirt?
August 13, 2008 at 7:39 am
Vin Diesel shave a head too. -))))) I think it is not so important. -)
August 13, 2008 at 7:21 am
This is true. I think the ticket will cost good money.
August 13, 2008 at 5:42 am
Comments aren’t working for me. Boo hiss.
August 13, 2008 at 5:41 am
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.
August 13, 2008 at 4:16 am
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
August 13, 2008 at 4:03 am
If I win a tshirt, I will put it on make a pic and publish on my blog:)
August 13, 2008 at 3:58 am
I believe I could win MacBook Air, although this is my first comment here
August 13, 2008 at 3:56 am
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.
August 13, 2008 at 3:38 am
wow macbook, My dream notebook
August 13, 2008 at 2:40 am
That seems so close…20 days? And I haven’t yet started spamming…errr commenting!
August 13, 2008 at 2:37 am
That’s a cool prize – someone will be very happy on 1st September!
August 13, 2008 at 2:36 am
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
August 13, 2008 at 2:27 am
Yeah!!!!!!!!! But a Macbooks way much better !!!!!!!!!
August 13, 2008 at 2:26 am
Can I have one shoe ? I have had 50+ coments in the past with name of “Apoorv” :p
August 13, 2008 at 2:14 am
Oh Shit, I cannot miss this man, I am in !!!
August 13, 2008 at 1:58 am
Hey Andrew, Thank you! I’m going to do that right now.
August 13, 2008 at 1:52 am
I’m glad to have read this positive post, even thought the first was… I am ready to receive my macbook on Sept 1.
August 13, 2008 at 1:48 am
That would be a nice gift for my b-day
August 13, 2008 at 1:46 am
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.
August 13, 2008 at 1:41 am
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.
August 13, 2008 at 1:39 am
I’d love to win the MacBook Air!
August 12, 2008 at 10:57 pm
yeh, chetan won thrice and couple of others won twice..
I think shoe should give away those ipods too
August 12, 2008 at 10:52 pm
pls jeebus let me win ze air
August 12, 2008 at 10:48 pm
It would be better if it is the HP mini one netbook, at least the odds are better for everyone.
August 12, 2008 at 10:30 pm
Does a bear poop in the woods?
August 12, 2008 at 10:19 pm
From WIki:
August 12, 2008 at 10:13 pm
What a great contest. I could really use a new laptop.
August 12, 2008 at 9:48 pm
oh wow, how I would love to win this!
August 12, 2008 at 9:24 pm
Can success come this much down to 90th comment? hey bald man, how are you selecting the winner.
August 12, 2008 at 9:24 pm
You need deep pockets to fund this type of genius idea…
August 12, 2008 at 9:23 pm
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.
August 12, 2008 at 9:22 pm
If we’re gonna wish… we might as well wish for macbook giveaway daily.
August 12, 2008 at 9:11 pm
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.
August 12, 2008 at 9:05 pm
no! the drawing is on sept.1… how i wish the macbook giveaway is monthly… LOL
August 12, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Hehe I wish I could afford a ticket there.
August 12, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Was there a grand prize drawing on August 1, or is everyone getting wrapped up into the September drawing?
August 12, 2008 at 8:52 pm
There definitely should be a gallery with snaps of the winners in the shirts… am I just not seeing it?
August 12, 2008 at 8:52 pm
That was nice of them!
Was it a 100% refund?
August 12, 2008 at 8:50 pm
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.
August 12, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I think several people have won more than once, no?
August 12, 2008 at 8:45 pm
shout an email to jeremy…i’m sure he will get back to you pretty quick
August 12, 2008 at 8:42 pm
you don’t have to sign-up anywhere…read this page for more details: http://www.shoemoney.com/commentcontest/
August 12, 2008 at 8:35 pm
Bummer I haven’t even won the daily yet, but 20 days left is plenty of time. thx Shoe.
August 12, 2008 at 8:33 pm
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.
August 12, 2008 at 8:30 pm
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
August 12, 2008 at 8:29 pm
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?
August 12, 2008 at 8:27 pm
well, he won 3 times the daily contest
August 12, 2008 at 8:22 pm
I think the only way I will ever convert to a Mac user is if I win this contest, lol.
August 12, 2008 at 8:12 pm
Yes, good luck to all. I am not in
I didn’t get even the free T-shirt to participate in the big contest!
August 12, 2008 at 7:57 pm
I love your top
I want one 
August 12, 2008 at 7:48 pm
Well this gives me some motivation to comment more instead of just “lurking”
August 12, 2008 at 7:41 pm
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.
August 12, 2008 at 7:34 pm
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?
August 12, 2008 at 6:57 pm
I read everyday but now i need to start commenting.
August 12, 2008 at 6:53 pm
I am a hardcore PC fan, but mac’s style is truely irresistible.
August 12, 2008 at 6:42 pm
as what shoe said, they can ship it for free as long as they can legally
August 12, 2008 at 6:34 pm
wtf! LOL… is that really true?
August 12, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Sounds good the chances of winning are pretty high as well.
August 12, 2008 at 6:24 pm
If you were just starting out now what would you sell for starters.
August 12, 2008 at 6:17 pm
I cant wait , hopefully I win ,
August 12, 2008 at 5:59 pm
Wow man, very good, I would like to have a macbook air.
Good luck to all.
August 12, 2008 at 5:55 pm
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
August 12, 2008 at 5:45 pm
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?
August 12, 2008 at 5:33 pm
I want to win this contest. Actualy, I need because I can’t pay for this, I’m from 3th world.
August 12, 2008 at 5:25 pm
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)
August 12, 2008 at 5:23 pm
everyone has equal chances maybe except for chetan who has won twice… but well a shirt is enough for me…
August 12, 2008 at 5:21 pm
well i believe it isnt just all about commenting,,, its more about giving back for all the achievements of this blog…
August 12, 2008 at 5:19 pm
LOL, I feel it on my desk too together with my desktop….
August 12, 2008 at 5:18 pm
wow, I am excited man…btw, do you mean the comment contest will continue for the succeeding months/future?
August 12, 2008 at 5:11 pm
I hope I get a chance to win!!! I could really use a macbook air for my job and for college!
August 12, 2008 at 5:08 pm
Can you tell me what softwares you use for contacts and email. I need that Mack Air…
Thanks
August 12, 2008 at 4:54 pm
So is this comment an entry into the raffle?
August 12, 2008 at 4:46 pm
is there an independent auditing agency monitoring these raffles?
August 12, 2008 at 4:40 pm
I’d be just as happy with a cheaper Macbook
i like my optical drives
August 12, 2008 at 4:35 pm
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.
August 12, 2008 at 4:32 pm
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
August 12, 2008 at 4:31 pm
pick me man…… pick me robot!
August 12, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Cool contest. Thanks for putting it on! Crossing my fingers.
August 12, 2008 at 4:25 pm
But, is there an increase in spammy or post for the sake of it “posts”?
August 12, 2008 at 4:25 pm
I would love to win it that would be pretty neat for on the go!
Genie, I wish for that macbook air!
August 12, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Been a steady read but a reluctant commenter up to now – count me in, I’d love to win that cute little laptop!
August 12, 2008 at 4:20 pm
I want to comment more but im lazy =(
August 12, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Where do I sign up? I love Apple Mac !!!!!!!!!!!
August 12, 2008 at 4:12 pm
where do I sign up? I love apple Mac!!!!!!!!!!
August 12, 2008 at 4:04 pm
You are officially signed up. Congrats!
August 12, 2008 at 4:04 pm
spam, i mean just provide more content in more comments…
August 12, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Just 20 days to win one of the free t-shirts!
August 12, 2008 at 3:54 pm
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*
August 12, 2008 at 3:53 pm
I sure hope I can win one of those t-shirts, I love the shoemoney logo
August 12, 2008 at 3:51 pm
I have yet to get chosen. So upsetting. i want that damn MacAir
August 12, 2008 at 3:37 pm
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!
August 12, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Instead of 2 monthly, you should make it monthly
Can’t wait for 18 days..
have won only 1 time, very less chances
August 12, 2008 at 3:27 pm
Are you growing a beard or was it just one of those days?
August 12, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I ve won both..Double value, no cost
August 12, 2008 at 3:05 pm
I ve already typed my first post with it . …..thanks Shoey , thanks ACS consulting for this wonderful pize….
August 12, 2008 at 3:03 pm
It must have my name on it. I can tell by the smile on your face, Jeremy
August 12, 2008 at 3:01 pm
Cool idea. It’s becoming more and more tempting to “go Mac”. That would certainly push me over the edge.
August 12, 2008 at 2:47 pm
I can already feel it on my lap… oh wait.
August 12, 2008 at 2:44 pm
I have to win twice…so much work!
August 12, 2008 at 2:39 pm
well, you still have 20 opportunities left to win it.
Good luck!
August 12, 2008 at 2:38 pm
really nice price.. i wonder who will be the winner..
August 12, 2008 at 2:37 pm
I really need a new computer, I am crossing my fingers!
August 12, 2008 at 2:31 pm
select name from winners order by rand() limit 1;
August 12, 2008 at 2:30 pm
maybe 20% increase or so… Traffic and increase traffic to advertisers is up so its working
August 12, 2008 at 2:29 pm
shoemoney’s shirt is as valuable as the macbook air for some
August 12, 2008 at 2:26 pm
I’m curious to know how will you draw the winner ?
August 12, 2008 at 2:25 pm
I don’t really have anything to say about this post but I do want a chance at the mac.
August 12, 2008 at 2:19 pm
EVERBODY STOP COMMENTING! The Mac Air Book is MINE!
August 12, 2008 at 2:14 pm
oh man that is quite a prize! Even a Shoemoney shirt is a pretty sweet prize!
August 12, 2008 at 2:13 pm
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?
August 12, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Wondering if you can ship it to Romania, I’m feeling lucky as Google once said.
August 12, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Hey,
I have just subscribed to your twitter and saw this message, and I came straight away, very awesome!
Good luck to everyone!
August 12, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Keep meaning to comment. Not too bothered about a new macbook. I’m just in it for the shoemoney shirt ; )

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?

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.

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!

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.
