It has been a while since I have given anything away, so this weekend I am going to give away a gift card for 180 music downloads at eMusic.com. I bought the gift card with the intention of giving it to my brother, but he got a job on a cruise ship and does not really have a need for it right now as he spends 5 months at a time in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
The winner of this contest will get the code from the gift card in an email, and if the winner wants it then I am willing to mail the card to any address in the continental US. The gift card must be redeemed by the end of the month, and is good for 15 mp3 downloads per month over the course of a year.
To enter the contest, leave a comment below or write about the contest on your own website and leave a trackback. One normal comment per person, and one trackback per website is allowed if you want extra chances to win. You have until Tuesday, October 9th to enter, when I will close the comments and announce the winner by random drawing.
Any comment will do, but if you don’t mind, I would prefer that you leave a question or a suggestion for something that you would like me to discuss here on the website. Doing so will not improve your chances of winning, but I am just curious about how well I am doing and what sorts of areas I need to pay more attention to. Is there anything that you think deserves more attention that is getting ignored by the running community? Do you have a specific question that you think that I could answer?
Contest rules and disclaimers:
- There is one gift card that is being given away, and the code will be emailed to the winner. On request, I am willing to mail it as well within the continental United States. Delivery is not guaranteed but I will make a best effort to get it to the winner before the card expires on October 31, 2007.
- I will be the complete and final judge. I can change the rules on a whim. The winner will be chosen by random drawing.
- It is the winner’s responsibility to ensure that they are eligible to use the eMusic download service.
- One entry per person is allowed, as well as one entry per website. Subsequent entries from any given person will be ignored.
- If you win and do not get back to me within 4 days, then I reserve the right to give the prize to somebody else.
- I will make my best effort to contact the winner, but a valid email address must be left on comments. If a trackback wins, then I will do my best to find a contact link on the web page linking to here, but if I do not see one then you will have to look back at this site to see if you have won.
- Local laws, rules, and regulations apply. No purchase is necessary.

Update: The winner has been announced! It is Patrick.

I was looking for an adventure during college and I thought about working on a cruiseline, but I joined the USAF instead. It was an adventure all right!
I just got back from a cruise and I must say, the workers on cruise ships work extremely hard, but they do a great job. I hope your brother enjoys himelf, earns a lot of meny, and more importantly, gets a lot of valuable life experiences from his time on board the cruise ship.

Great idea to get rid of something you haven’t had a chance to use and also build some traffic. The site looks good. its not overloaded with sidebar ads and clutter. It’s a clean design and easy to locate content.

First time I’ve come across your website. However, seems interesting if into running / fitness. Perhaps useful if there is a quick link on the navigation bar on the RHS of the site to a section for complete newbies to running ( e.g. suggested training program, running clubs, shoes that won’t cost the earth but will be good to start out in until you are sure you want to do this seriously, etc. ) All the information is probably in the website anyway, but it doesn’t seem to be consolidated in 1 place.

Since the ITB flared, I have plenty of time to listen to new mp3’s.

I just found your site and I think it looks great! I used to be a runner, but life sidelined me a bit. Now I’m trying to get back into it, so I will be visiting often for tips and info. (and to see if I win!) Thanks!

Great contest Blaine, I could use some new car tunes.

I found simple way get free music and earn money for bloggers. Bloggers can also earn money with online music stores that offer free music as a part of promotional program. This way you attract traffic, get more returning visitors and get paid if your visitors register with music sites. So as you can see it’s slightly different from ordinary affiliate program.

I loves me some free music!

The contest is officially over, and the winner has been announced. It is Patrick! Thank you all for participating!
