Make money blog link contest
It’s a lazy Saturday and i’m in sunny California. I wanted to do some link building. I mentioned several times how important it is to build up links for you blog. It’s important for search engine index and it’s important for padding your blog stats. It’s also important for keyword authority. You can trade links in forums or by visiting blogs that you like and emailing the blog owner for the trade. You can also build links by holding contests. I will hold on contest. I like to try to make my contest fun, so i’ll try something new out. I will offer a black check as the prize. Meaning, you guys will determine the amount of the prize. For every link received, i’ll add a dollar to the prize pool. If 40 people enter this contest and link to my make money blog, i’ll pay 40 bucks to one lucky winner. If 400 people enter this contest, i’ll pay out $400 bucks. The sky is the limit.
EDIT- since not a lot of people have entered, i wanted to spice things up and say thanks for all of you who did. I will set the minimum prize at $50 dollars. Even if no one else enters, i’ll pay one lucky winner fifty bucks! thanks all who entered and hopefully this will get a few more entrants. If not, it’s fine, i want to give some money away to my readers. 
How to enter? I like to keep my contests simple so you won’t be required much. Just mention this contest, and link to http://www.bloggernoob.com AKA “Make Money Blog” then leave me a comment with a link to where you put it. Easy right? Good luck and i dare you to make me payout large. I don’t like waiting for prizes, so i’ll make the contest short. A few days tops, I can’t let it go over a 1000 obviously. You don’t want bloggernoob dot com to go broke do you?
I repeat the contest rules.
1. Link to http://www.bloggernoob.com
2. Mention this contest
3. Leave me a comment with a link to that link.
4. Use any anchoring text you like. “learn to blog” “make money blog” “make money online” “john chow sucks” “bloggernoob sucks” “make money blogs suck” I don’t want the mighty hands of google to punish me. Thanks to the griz at make money online for beginners and Chris at SEO and blogging for the heads up.
*Only 1 post/link per blogger please. I’m no Oprah.*
I’ll choose one random winner using a random.org and post the results. Good luck guys.

Hi Noob,
Just thought I would mention that you should be careful about being Google bombed - this is what happened to john chow - too many links, too fast and all using the same anchor text will send flags up at Google and if they do a manual review and see your post you could get penalized. They will see this as manipulation and as paid links - neither good in their eyes. Have people use different keywords and you shouldn’t get noticed.
