Microsoft Zune 30GB Giveaway Contest
Jun 7th, 2007 by msdanielle
It’s that time, people! I’m giving away a brand spankin’ new Microsoft Zune 30GB mp3 player for free, as promised in my original contest entry to win a MS Zune at JohnChow.com. But if you don’t believe me, just read John’s announcement of my winning. A little part of me would think it hilarious if he won it back and raffled it away again. 
But don’t worry, everyone who enters the contest has an equal chance of winning, so let’s see who will win it this time around!
Here are the rules:
Create a new post in your blog linking to both my home page and one other post in my site — pick any post you want. Use anchor text that includes the phrase “blog site.” Examples include Danielle’s blog site, popular blog site, blog site about marketing, golf beginner’s blog site, ppc blog site, etc.
For example:
Ms. Danielle is giving away a 30GB Microsoft Zune that she won from John Chow. I really love her new blog site — she talks about everything from online marketing to golf! I hope I win!
After you’ve created your post, make sure to let me know by providing your name, contact email address, and entry URL via my Contact Form. Make sure the links and anchor text are correct before submitting, and each entry must be its own post. The winner’s name will randomly be pulled out of a hat, and announced in the coming weeks. The MS Zune sells for $250, but it could be yours for free!
And if you’re not sure which articles to link to, here are a few I might suggest:
- Entertainment for beginning golfers
- Advice on raising your Google AdWords landing page quality score
- Top 5 reasons to adopt a needy pet
- How to steal a toothbrush
- How to help Virginia Tech victims’ families
- Make money online vs. get rich quick
- The story of Binky
- Do blog ethics exist?
- A quick tip for busy bloggers
These are some of my blogging highlights (I think!) from the past three months. But feel free to poke around and find other posts you’d like to link to. Good luck!
Update (6/14): I’ve found out that this same Zune has in fact been “fondled” by Michael Kwan, as he puts it, who did the original technical review of the item for The Tech Zone after John Chow won it. And no, I haven’t even turned it on, so it’ll be sent to the winner exactly as I received it from John Chow. Right now, it’s sitting inside the package it was delivered in.

Are non-bloggers welcome too? I’d love to enter but I don’t have a blog.
hi everybody! just a reminder that this contest is for bloggers only. one entry per individual. thanks!
I want you, not the Zune.
.. uh oh. Am I in trouble?
you are trouble
you cant resist hitting on everyone you see can you.
Dont bend over
you can be in trouble 
I’m telling Jane
HAHAHA good one Gary.
hahahaha…looks like you got a stalker on your hands D.
At least you guys have one thing in common.
Hahaha…Jeff can’t go ten seconds without hitting on one of hot blog girls in the network.
I’ll enter tomorrow, Danielle…there aren’t many Zunes here in Canada.
I’m trying to figure out how to enter. I think I know, but I wanted to make it more…special (not in a Jeff way, though….well, I wouldn’t just come out and tell you that…I mean…nevermind).
JUST DO IT.
Hi Danielle,
Was wondering when you were going to get round to this, is there a closing date??
Jez
BTW did you ever ask JC if he would help you plug your comp, seeing as you won it from him?
Maybe get one of his guest bloggers to sneak in a post while he is on holiday hehe,
there’s no closing date as of now, i’ll be announcing it later on. i’ve sent john an email letting him know i’ve FINALLY posted the giveaway

I did have a question on the shipment of the item, will this be via USPS or personal delivery?
personal delivery meaning i bring it to you?
lol
the shipment will most likely be sent via US postal service.
Nate you offering to pay for the airfare?
That would be a sweet score, especially since the Zune isn’t sold in Canada

Man … that Zune is getting around town … LOL
Darin
i’m hoping it will get around the world. maybe it can reach all continents! instead of “where the hell is matt?” it will be “where the hell is that Zune?” we could dedicate a whole blog community site around it! who’s with me??
@chrischen – if you get it, it will make its way back up to canada! lol but the guy from millnic media told me he originally had bought it from here.
thanks for participating!
Thats a great news….I will put up a post later today, I wish you had announced the closing date so that people can look over it! If John posts about this,. then you will get a great response….
hi anand! i’ll be adding a banner with a link to the post later on, and announcing the end of the contest well before it ends.
Since you commented that you hope it can get around the world, I take it you do International shipping. I’ll gladly welcome it to the far east!
USPS delivers overseas
good luck!

Hey, Can I get one too?
Is this another rocking contest I missed? ??? lolz….there are so many of them around that maybe someone should start a new blog indexing all the competitions on the internet!!!! that will be a good idea! err….did I just spill out something useful for the first time ever? If yes, ask for my paypal and send me a few bucks!!!
I send them to almost anyone that will wear one, take a photo, and post on their site. Ive been trying to get MSD herself to do it but she is so shy
By the way, Im trying hard not to send out of the country anymore, posted is brutal.
