Ranksense & Winning The Web Launch Contest

by Jeremy Schoemaker on October 16, 2008 · 70 comments

The guys over at Ranksense & Winning The Web launched a pretty bad ass contest.

The contest has a random draw portion (where everyone who signs up for the newsletter or downloads the free trial of Ranksense has a chance of winning some awesome prizes) and an affiliate marketing portion (where the top 3 affiliates who generate the most signups to Ranksense in a single day up until Nov 2 win big prizes).

The prizes range from a 7 day all expense paid vacation to the Dominican Republic to a macbook air!  There are over $14,000 in prizes!

For all of you that don’t know what Ranksense is, it is a system that makes it easier than ever before to increase the quantity and quality of your natural search traffic.

Their easy-to-use software is designed to help you attract more qualified visitors by identifying hidden search profit opportunities such as:

  • the most relevant and profitable keywords for your online business—(i.e. those keywords that result in your customers taking action—orders, signups, memberships, downloads, etc.)
  • high-quality link sources that will help boost your site to the top of the rankings
  • easy to remove search engine road blocks that prevent your content pages from being fully indexed

So check out the contest, and maybe you can win something awesome.

How can I land myself such a tshirt?

Ryan in order to win a Shoemoney shirt you just have to comment on Shoemoney’s post and you will be entered into a random drawing where the winner is randomly picked. If you do end up winning a shirt you will also be entered into this months drawing for the Macbook.

One helluva nice piece of link-love to these guys, courtesy of Shoemoney. I am impressed by Hamlet Baptista’s offering, first came across him and Ranksense on SEOmoz.

The competition points system is a great way to get people to download and demo Ranksense, kudos to the winning the web team for putting it all together.

I am furiously entering at present….heheheheh

Good stuff, Shoe! Thanks for the heads up, $14,000 in prizes is enough to scream and shout about.

Plus, I am feeling pretty lucky.

Glad your site is back up and running. I am subscribing right now!

Peace to the bloggers!

Thanks for clarifying this because I was wondering exactly what the software does. I guess I can give it a shot, not for the contest, but just to try the software.

Nice! Another chance to win a MacBook Air and some cool prizes. Thanks for posting this up here Shoemoney. I hope Ranksense starts updating their blog daily otherwise I will have no reason to keep going to their blog. It looks like their blog is updated like once a week. They have some really great SEO tips there though. I am sure Shoemoney will definitely rank #1 for the most downloads in one day, he has a lot of viewers in this niche!

Off-topic: Jeremy, will you be transferring to a new host soon? You keep getting DDOS attacks and I’m sure Shoemoney Tools customers won’t be happy about this. I hope you are able to find a better solution to prevent the DDOS attacks. Please tell us how you are preventing them too so we could be prepared if this happens to us.

Hey,

Thanks for the shout out shoe!

I hope Ranksense starts updating their blog daily otherwise I will have no reason to keep going to their blog.

LOL. I can’t promise daily posting on my blog but I will do my best to update it at least twice a week.

I plan to create one for the RankSense site and Edna should write more often on that one.

Cheers

Don’t know if it is just me, but your site seems like it is loading really slowly.

Reply

50 QuickPWN October 16, 2008 at 11:36 pm

It loaded slow at first for me but now it’s loading at normal speed. There was a DDOS attack earlier today and the site was down for hours! I hope Shoemoney is able to find out a way to stop this DDOS attacker. Whoever is doing this really has no life and must be jealous of Shoemoney’s success.

51 Zurpit October 17, 2008 at 7:58 am

Whats a DDOS attack? Is that why the site was down?

52 River Girl October 16, 2008 at 11:14 pm

OK, did the reading on Ranksense. Will pursue this and need to do more with keywords. And have to pursue winning the MB since it doesn’t look like I am getting anywhere with your contest here. :-)
I went to Apple Store to look at the new machines and displays. Macbook redo is really cool. Not quite as portable as the Air, but way more portable than my MB Pro and more underneath the hood than the Air. Think I would be able to run CS3, VMWare Fusion, etc. The display was gorgeous but REALLY hot, and I thought my Dell 24″ LCD gave off a lot of heat.

There is a phenomenal lucky people. I think this post just for them. I do not belong to these. However, I recently won the shirt. And I have already received. Jeremy, thank you very much.

54 Zurpit October 17, 2008 at 7:56 am

But since its all random everyone has a chance to win

Reply

55 QuickPWN October 17, 2008 at 6:09 pm

It’s random for the Macbook Air and iPod Touch but the bigger prizes are chosen based on the top 3 people that refer the most people to the Ranksense in a single day.
