    1. HAHAHA

      Talk about evil. Jesus. Your rss is about to skyrocket. Awesome job shoe! Can’t wait to compete!

    2. this seems a bit over complicated… i assume if we register this way we will count 4 as four feeds.

    3. Does the bowling ball have anything inside of it? Such as a rose or a hand or anything of this nature?

    4. Surely the contest is to get the most unique subscribers though? If we all sign up for the 4 RSS services and the email service then we will each count as 5, isn’t that cheating?

    5. […] Shoemoney has it down, like a champ. On Saturday Shoemoney posted up for advertisers sponsors for an RSS giveaway. […]

    6. Asking people to sign up for your RSS 5 times. Are you serious? What a lame way to try and win a stupid self promotional contest. You and Chow have been sinking to all time lows recently.

    7. HEY –

      There is a bowling ball on the list 🙂

      Thats actually awesome, looks like there are prizes for everyone 🙂

    8. Maybe someone can do a better job of posting the prizes… so we all can read them better. 😉

    9. i should have created a new blog and blogged about it tonytsai style… interesting method to try and get subscribers 5x’s over.

    10. Yes – It actually says “Here is a full list of prizes: (I will be editing this post more tonight but here is the list in online excel format):”

    11. OK, OK….You convinced me. I usually read you on my Google reader but now I have started a NG and BL feed as well…and added the widget to my igoogle for both.
      All I need now is the confirmation email from your feedburner. Hopefully it is lagging because everyone is signing up to help you win.

      Good Luck!

    12. Shoe! Guess what? My birthday is November 1st..heh no I’m not looking for prizes, I just wanted to mention that 🙂

    13. The formatting of the prize contributors is freakin’ brutal. Why don’t you list what the prizes actually ARE.. and then put a link to the company.

    14. […] ShoeMoney pulled out the big guns with his own […]

    15. I wish I could see the face of John Chow while he is reading this blog post
      :)) haha

    16. […] Oct Shoemoney 13,000.00 RSS Contest – Shoemoney is having a contest with John Chow to see who is going to get the most new RSS […]

    17. I don’t see the “Click Here To Enter Todays Contest!” link in the RSS feed. I am not quite sure how this works exactly. So you want us to sign up for the Google reader in order to view your RSS feed? Or are we getting emails every day and we click on those to enter the contest?

    18. thanks for putting up picture of where the link is, that was quick! Now I am having a little trouble signing up under the 4 different readers. I have entered through “the others feed” but how to I get it through the google one, gator and the other one?

    19. It appears that I have not received a link on a “google reader”, I believe think this might be the problem.

    20. I have entered 3 of the 4. Those are some kickass prizes! Is the bowling ball a shoemoney ball or custom logo on it?

    21. Show: I see John chow is starting to influence you…

      That huge “SUBSCRIBE TO OUR RSS FEED” popup is highly evil and annoying.

      Great job 😉

      Just one thing, please remove it after the end of the contest!

    22. when i clicked on it thru bloglines is said “Sorry, this contest is for subscribers only.”, is it because i’m using the beta version?

    23. Well… I knew you would come out with something big for this competition, and you did it. Lets just see what John Chow’s counter is going to be.

    24. It worked in newsgator and bloglines but there isn’t any link for the contest in google reader or in the email.

    25. I’m excited for this contest! Maybe I can win something, seeing as how John Chow never lets me win!

    26. Awesome contest Shoe – lets kick some Chow! – not seeing anything in todays email or newsgator yet just this post announcing the contest….

    27. Yup, you are creating controversy, any publicity is good. 🙂 Great stuff Jeremy, you got some buzz marketing in your pocket. 🙂

    28. What a great idea – I’ll be blogging about
      this awesome “Give away” to our readers
      and probably having my own contest for my
      blog soon =) haha great idea I love it.

      JJ

    29. You might need to check it against the list above. I’m only offering $20 from each site, although I am planning on running another contest on my sites, too.

    30. Wow… if you don’t win, he must have come up with something really amazing. Anyone who says you’re not a marketer just needs to look here to know they’re wrong. 🙂

    31. This is awesome stuff — i’m green and ready to learn. any thoughts for someone very new to all of this??? feedback welcome.

    32. I wish I could see the look on Shoe’s face after the FeedBurner Chicklet updated and see that he’s only ahead by 23. 🙂

    33. I’ve subscribed as well… I hope I win something! SEO Book, Free 1 Year hosting for my blog… anything would do I guess.

      Cheers,
      Carlo Selorio

      You must be kiding, it’s PR2, he should have paid you for posting his link here 😀

    35. From my stats it seems today you are losing.

      As usual:
      Check my blog to see the competition’s stats on my right bar.

    36. winning is winning, besides they dont update for 24 hours 😉 Keep watching that ticker chow!

    37. Clearly some folks overstated the value of their services. Still, it’s a great collection of prizes, and even if it’s only a PR2, I’d take the link / traffic from him. Every little bit helps.

    38. This reminds me of those contest we had in elem school where we bought paper rings to see which class could make the longest chain. The class that won got a pizza party. That was a great way to blow some nickels.

    39. That is an awesome way to boost your stats and stickiness, I usually just type in shoemoney.com every day but now it is worth it to actually open up my bloglines account.

    40. When I try and subscribe again through boglines it says I am already subscribed. What am I doing wrong?
