During my break two contests started running that I think are worth mentioning here.

The first one is of course the huge contest Marcus is running, initially to celebrate him breaking the 50.000 Alexa ranking but after the recent changes Alexa is following through on in order to provide a more realistic ranking, his goal was set back a bit. He did not back down on his word though of running a kick-ass contest and I am happy to be one of the sponsors. If you want to read more about this contest, please check it out on The Hochstadt Party Contest!

Now, take a look at these amazing and unbelievable contributions:

If I could choose, I would love to win the Manifest a Miracle sponsored by Gary Evans … if you have read my last post, I am sure you will be able to figure out why!

On a different note, Webdiggin.Com is running a smaller contest, offering a $25.00 through paypal and the way to win it is by subscribing to their feed or writing about their contest, just as I just did.

So how did I get it in my head to write about these two so completely different contests in the same post?

I found it difficult to choose between which to mention. Of course I could have only posted on the huge contest Marcus is running but, you might just have a better chance picking up the $25.00 at webdiggin.com and after all the comments they made on my blog, I just could not stay behind and post something about their contest as well to return the favor.

Ok, I´ll admit, I wanted to have a better shot at winning the $25.00 since they would directly be invested in 25 more .info domains

If you decide to participate, I wish you the best!
