Advertising Giveaway
Please subscribe to ProTycoon.com via the RSS Feed or Via Email.
As loyal readers will know ProTycoon.com got a makeover a few days ago. As part of the redesign the blog now has 125*125 advertsing spots available in the sidebar. As many of you will know I am a generous blogger, freely linking to other blogs and also giving out great little secrets that I use to build my blog.
I am now offering 6 bloggers the chance to get their blogs featured in the ProTycoon.com sidebar.
How To Enter
The best thing is that it is so easy to grab your spot, all you need to do is dedicate a post on your blog reviewing ProTycoon.com. Some examples of posts you could use:
- Review the new Design
- Review the blog itself
- Promote the blog’s RSS feed
The possibilities are endless, all we are asking for is at least one link back to ProTycoon.com this can be to the homepage or to a post.
Some posts you may consider linking to:
- 25 Ways To Increase Your RSS Subscriber Count
- 15 Ways To Increase Traffic To Your Blog
- Related Post Plugin Can Boost Page Views
- Increase Page Views On Your Blog
The spots will be assigned on a first come first serve basis. Once you have written your post, comment here with details of where the post can be found, I will then contact you for your 125*125 banner to be placed in the sidebar.
This is a great chance to get yourself some free exposure on an ever growing blogging tips website. Hurry before all the spots are taken!
P.s - Animated banners are allowed but I will not accept flash banners.

I will be getting to you soon with the post! I would love to have 125×125 ad spot! I am giving them away absolutely free right now and people don’t even have to link to me(by tomorrow they will though)! Now my ad won’t be ready for a few days, it all depends on the speed of Narendra, so I will tell you after I post.
David Shaw | July 3rd, 2008 at 5:02 pm #
Hi Nathaniel.
Sounds good.
Gerri | July 4th, 2008 at 10:51 am #
This is a good way of promoting your blog. Good luck to you and to all who enter.
David Shaw | July 4th, 2008 at 11:10 am #
Not going to grab a spot then Gerri?
Blog for Beginners | July 4th, 2008 at 4:40 pm #
I’m not too sure if I’m first in the queue but my post about ProTycoon should have “ping” you by the time I publish this comment. It will be ’sticky’ for a while I promise you.
You have a wonderful blog worth a mention anyway. Great job, David.

Hi, David:
Very neat blog you have here. Love the re-design, too. I’m also planning to re-design my main blog, Groovy Vegetarian. I’m presently looking into my options.
Wrote about you and your blog on my (G34 Media) site. Would love a spot on your blog. Let me know.
Missy.
David Shaw | July 4th, 2008 at 9:14 pm #
Still spots available.
Contest is open until all six are taken.
Halim-Belajar SEO | July 4th, 2008 at 9:59 pm #

David Shaw | July 4th, 2008 at 10:07 pm #
@Halim-Belajar SEO
There should be a space for you!! I dont really understand your question?
Halim-Belajar SEO | July 4th, 2008 at 10:27 pm #
I’ve read @Blog for Beginner comment about ping, I mean when I’m post about your site, do I need to ping it?
David Shaw | July 4th, 2008 at 10:29 pm #
You dont need to ping.
Just leave a comment here, or contact me, letting me know that you have done it.
I will then add your banner to my site!
Halim-Belajar SEO | July 4th, 2008 at 11:12 pm #

David, I still have to make my own banner.. might take at least a day since i have to conceptualize it a bit to suit my blog theme and yours (at least aesthetically).
David Shaw | July 5th, 2008 at 10:42 am #
@dimaks
That is fine. Just send it across when done and I will add it to the blog!
Blog for Beginners | July 5th, 2008 at 10:53 am #
Thanks for the opportunity, David. I’ll tell you what; send me your banner as well, I’ll put it up when my new theme goes live in a couple days. I don’t ask you for anything, though a short review of my little blog would be nice. It’s your call.

One of your tips in “25 ways to increase your subscriber count” is to stick to your niche.
So, since my niche isn’t about blogging, and I really want to be catch you last advertising slot, I’ve added you to my blogroll (and subscribed to your RSS feed via email)
Happy blogging, everyone
Adam Pieniazek | July 8th, 2008 at 5:26 am #
Is there still a slot left David or did Debi grab it?
Oh, and FYI the Comments box below your 125×125 ad space runs into the post titles below it. Perhaps it’s just on my system (Mac OS X - Safari) but thought I’d let you know. Shoot me an e-mail and I can send you a screenshot of the run.
David Shaw | July 8th, 2008 at 8:03 am #
@Debi_zyx

Debi_zyx | July 17th, 2008 at 2:41 pm #
Hi everyone,
You may remember my post on breaking all the branding, SEO and Blogging rules, about how I ended up with 2 blogs, and a prize advert that I didn’t know what to do with?
Well, I sorted it out (I think!)
I’ve created a new blog, with all the posts and comments and stuff from my old blogs.
I’ve also given it a new layout. I prefer it, I hope you will.
I’ve changed it’s name so that it’s not just about QA, but also about SEO, Business, Work and just Life in general. The “Who am I” has changed (both the link and the content)
You can access it at Debi’Z Blog (which in URL terms is http://debizblog.wordpress.com).
All subscribers have automatically been redirected to the feed of the new blog.
I’m putting this feed on both the old and the new blog, so you may recieve it twice. If you do, that means that all this worked !! If you don’t, it still may have worked (if you received it from the new blog) ….
I’m also putting this as a comment on all the blogs that I commented on, so if you also commented on the same blog, please note my new url.
Now all I have to do is to get all my links from the world redirected to the new URL
