Balkhis ML Contest (You are a guaranteed winner)
Jun 11, 2008 
Well unlike most of my past contests this is only a one week deal. This contest is starting today June 11th, and it will last till June 18th. Before I explain how this contest will be ran. I want to let you guys know why I am starting this contest. When I was in Seattle, I got an email from Debby of Market Leverage (ML). In the email, I was offered to run a contest in which the prizes will be donated by Market Leverage. Debby and Market Leverage are just setting the standards higher and higher among the competitors. They are becoming my favorite publishers. I would like to thank Debby and Market Leverage for considering this blog worthy and giving me the honor to run this contest. Since you have honored me and this blog, I would like to name this contest in the honor of Market Leverage, Balkhis ML Contest.
Now even though the prizes were donated by Market Leverage, I get to pick how I will run the contest. Now I tried to make this contest as simple as possible. And this time, there is no random drawing, so you can pretty much confirm your winning spot, if you have the most points. The person with the most points earned within these 8 days, will be the winner. And yes there will be 4 winners by point ranking system.
O did I tell you what the prizes are?
Prizes
First Place: Flip Camera
Second Place: IPOD Nano
Third Place: $50 AMEX Card
Fourth Place: 2GB USB Pen Drive
Above are the ones that you can work your way and win.
Aside from those I will be giving out,
1000 entrecard credits
468 x 60 banner on Balkhis (1 month)
125 x 125 banner on Balkhis (1 month)
These three prizes will be given to users selected randomly from those who enter the contest.
Now how exactly will you get these points?
**You don’t have to have a website to win this contest because alot of clues will not require you to have a website.
It will be described in clues. So I will not give out all the ways all at once. I will add the clues in my posts along the week, so you guys would have to read the blog if you are interested in the prizes. But how will you stay updated? I have an Idea. How about subscribing to my blog via email.
O I think I forgot to mention, this is one of the clues to earn points. By subscribing to Balkhis via email, you will earn 10 Points.
Don’t worry my subscribers, if you are already a balkhis subscriber via email, you will automatically gain 10 points. Now this will help you by getting you more points. Also you won’t miss any chances of earning points as posts will be delivered to your email address.
Please stay consistent with your email use. So use the same email everywhere. If you subscribed via a certain email, then use that same email to sign up to Market Leverage (ML).
O did I forget to mention this is another clue. You must signup using my referral link. Which is in the banner, so click on the banner above to sign up. This will get you 20 points for every approved account via my referral. (Sorry to those who are already a member of this service, it won’t count toward you).
Anywayz isn’t this an exciting contest. I know for sure this is. Market Leverage is doing a great job. These guys are really friendly. As soon as you submit, and your application gets reviewed. You will get a kind welcoming phone call. Where their representative will explain everything to you. The part that I like is you don’t have to wait for the offers to be accepted. For some of them you do, but you can contact your account manager to speed up the process. I recommend them at all cost. They will be going in my money maker list when I upload the new design for Balkhis.
O I just thought of another quick way that you can gain points.
Just write about this contest on your blog. Make sure you link to this post, and make a mention that this contest is supported kindly by Market Leverage, and put their link. This will get you 20 points toward your score.
Once you have written about this post, do remember to send a trackback or comment on this post linking to your post so we can keep track of it. This will take me to another clue.
Commenting on Balkhis will also gain you points. Each comment will be worth 2 points. You may not comment more than 2 times on one post. I mean you can but you won’t be rewarded. Don’t spam in the comments, because I will be moderating carefully. I have also asked David Pegg, Amanda Roberts, and Areeb to help me out with maintaing the contest and keeping track of the points.
Well guys what are you waiting for. Let the contest Begin.

Although you can have 2 comments per post even if you already have two comments on some posts disregard all those posts. You can make new 2 comments, but only if they are quality ones. I will void the ones that are not quality.

Nice camera as the top prize but the ipod is cool too.

I’m just curious…how is everyone a guaranteed winner?
I never said everyone. I said you are a guaranteed winner. Which means you can actually work for your win rather than wait for some random drawing. Getting 10 entries to some contest won’t do you any good because if there are 20 … and someone else who only had one entry wins. You worked for nothing. In this contest, you can actually guarantee your win by getting the most points.
