Last week I was messaged on Entrecard by Mike over at Bloggin’ Ads and he asked me help sponsor his new contest by supplying a prize. I’ve written many times about how running a contest can drive tons of traffic to your site and get your lots of new rss subscribers. In spite of that – I’ve still not run one to date! Shame on me! So I didn’t think twice about helping to sponsor Mike’s One heck of a giveaway contest – why not? By Sponsoring the contest we’re of course giving away a prize – a 125 x 125 ad for an entire month! I was thinking of adding some 125 x 125 blocks anyway to help monetize this site, and they’re becoming more and more standard – we’ll like I read on one blog yesterday “the 125×125 advert has become the official blog ad now…”.
So why is this contest One heck of a giveaway? You wouldn’t believe the amount of prizes Mike has amassed – check this out:
One Heck of a Giveaway Contest by Bloggin’ Ads – Prize List
Prizes
There are going to be 12 different groups of prizes, which means there are going to be a total of 12 different winners. By adding up the value of all the prizes, I would say it is worth a least $1,000. Just for Max’s sponsorship of “500″ One Buck Wiki pages total a value of $500, which makes it one heck of a contest.

I updated your link so you would get the follow (on this site)… =). You better check all the sites with the full post of prizes, if they copied the text like I did they will all have the same bad link for you.
