Balkhis ML Contest Winners
Alright the crazy week and the great contest has come to an end. I have enjoyed every single bit of it except for counting each comments and making sure every one gets the right amount of points. I went through a good deal of planning before I launched this contest. I will give tips about running contests later on.
Firstly, I would like to thanks Debby and Market Leverage for making this contest possible and giving me the honor of hosting the contest on my blog. I would recommend all of you to join this company as they really know how to take care of their affiliates.
Second, I want to thank all the users who participated in this contest, and all of my users who were the victims of comment war (Bruce) for bearing with it. I would like to thank all the users and webmasters who blogged about this contest and give it its fame.
Finally, I would like to thank the Balkhis team, Muhammad, and Amanda for your support and the assitance in running this contest.
Alright that is enough thank yous. If I forgot anyone this thanks is for you.
During the contest, this blog has seen a big jump in traffic, comments, and readership. Balkhis has hit its 2400 comments. This week alone had over 900 comments due to the contest and the comment war. It is 5:43 a.m EST and We are finally done counting the points and evaluating each and every comments.
Before I announce the winners, I want to say that top commentators not all of your comments were counted. Because if you have more than 2 comments on one post within this week then it wouldn’t count.
1st Place Winner – Flip Mino Camera goes to Enkay Blog with a grand total of 532 Points.
2nd Place Winner – Apple Ipod Nano goes to Rakshinda with a grand total of 427 points.
3rd Place Winner – $50 USD AMEX Card goes to Angad Sodhi with a grand total of 425 points.
4th Place Winner – 2GB USB Pen Drive goes to Tyna with a grand total of 159 points.
Yes the 2nd and 3rd Place was very close. Winners your prizes will be sent to you by Market Leverage. I would need you guys to kindly send me your Full name, address, and the phone number you can be reached at, so I can forward it to Debby of Market Leverage who will be shipping the prizes.

Answer to Clue #7
My Brother’s name is Zain
Answer to the Treasure Hunt
Page Title: Make Money Online
Url: http://www.balkhis.com/make-money-online/
Since only Angad and Rakshinda got the clue right when several others tried multiple times. I will explain how the clue was suppose to work.
There were 5 steps meaning 5 pages that you were suppose to visit to get 25 points. I started you with the first hint that was the Uzzz Portfolio Page. You were suppose to find a key which belong to Uzzz. So the first site you would’ve seen on the portfolio was eKey. So you visit eKey which is the 2nd step. The key was suppose to unlock the Castle’s Arcade Room. If you clicked on the logo of ekey or free proxy which is the top of the key it would’ve taken to you to FunCastle.org which was your 3rd page. You should’ve clicked on Arcade to hit the 4th page. Now on the arcade page you were suppose to find a four by four (4×4) to enjoy the ride to your final destination. 4×4 Rally is the most popular game at the funcastle arcade. If you would’ve searched for the word Final Destination you would’ve seen a link in the sidebar of that page. Which would’ve taken you to the final destination which was the Make Money Online page on Balkhis. You could’ve also just skipped step 5 because the Final Destination link was also on the main arcade page.
Once again thank you all for staying up to date in this contest. Since I didn’t post anything about my life in this week. I will do that in the upcoming post to show you guys what I have been doing. Also I will be sharing with you the tips I can give you from running a successful contest like this one.

How come nobody has commented yet.Well I am glad i won something but not too glad that i did not win the 1st or 2nd price.Syed when is the next contest?
i don’t know when is the next one … Although I need your information so please email it to me.
Hi Syed. Thank you once again for this contest!
Just came back from my exam only to see that I lost by two points!!!! Even the exam didn’t go as it should have. Hopefully should not flunk. That wud be really bad coz that would end my 2year all-subs-passes streak (a feat achieved only by about 6 outta 75 ppl from my class!)
Was really hoping to win either the flip or the Ipod nano. I’ve never got any gifts from my activity on the net. No USBs no Tshirts. Getting a cool gadget would have been great! But I lost by one comment! Man this sux!!
But I guess I should be content with the 50$ card! Thank you Market Leverage and Syed. It was fun being a part of the comment war. Thank you Bruce for bearing with us! I’ve started implementing those tips on my blog and I have already started seeing results!
Until two days ago I thought I was clearly ahead until Rakhshinda stepped on the gas and Enkay stepped on the nitrous!
But it is end of exams for me. I’m going on a 3-day mini vac tomorrow. I might take a one week break from Balkhis until you post articles bout your life. The Balkhis site design is spinnin inside my head right now! Every time I close my eyes, I see Rakhshinda going 10 comments ahead of me!!! LOL
lol yeah … 2nd and 3rd place was a tough competition. Enkay had alot of nitrous. Please send me your info to my mail so I can forward it to market leverage.
contact info sent to admin@.com from the emailaddress thegeek@.com

thank you debby for choosing Balkhis. It is a pleasure working with you
congrats for the winner
Hey Syed, thanks for the contest.
I will work on getting you an ad over the next few days. Got a lot going on right now.
It was fun to follow, I have trouble to understand how Angad Sodhi made 200 comments while being in exams all week long. Prop’s for the time and energy everyone showed this week on balkhis.
You did a good job.
Waiting for the next tips
haha. Actually our exam timetable was such that my previous paper was on the 10th and this one on the 19th! A 9 day gap! I didn’t think it would snowball into this!
Congratulations to all the winners you are getting some great prizes.
In addition a big thanks to Syed for a great contest.
thanks Bruce for your patience during the comment war.
Congratulations to the winners!
