Update: the giveaway is now closed. Thank you to everyone who entered! I will post the winners shortly.
June 2011 was a big one for this blog.
We started the month with a site re-design and I began my efforts to monetize my site.
This has also been the biggest month ever in terms of traffic.
Back in April, I received a little over 95,000 unique visitors and so had set a short-term goal of 100,000 visitors per month by the summer’s end.
Well, as of 12:00am this morning, I had received…
105,785 visitors for the month of June 2011.
😯
Thank you, thank you, thank you all so much for supporting this blog and continuing to spread the word about it!
And, as a token of my appreciation — as well as a celebratory gesture — I have decided to host a giveaway from my favorite online store: Amazon!
The best part?
I will be giving away not one…not two…but THREE gift cards!
ONE lucky winner will receive a $100 gift card:
A second winner will receive a $50 gift card:
And a third winner will receive a $25 gift card!
I must admit that I have an ulterior motive for hosting this giveaway.
You see, I have created a Facebook Page for this blog, and I would love to gain some new fans to the page.
So, as an added incentive, you will automatically be entered to the drawing three times if you “Like” the Geek in Heels Page on Facebook.
Of course, there are other ways to enter, but they only grant you one entry each.
Here are the four ways to enter this giveaway:
- Leave a comment here telling me how you would use your Amazon gift card (one entry)
- Tweet — and leave a comment here saying you did so — the following (one entry):
I just entered for a chance to win a $100, $50, or $25 Amazon gift card via @geekinheels and you can too! http://bit.ly/lbUolr - “Like” this post using the Facebook “Like” button at the bottom, and leave a comment here saying you did so (one entry)
- “Like” the Geek in Heels Facebook Page (three entries)
There is no need to leave a comment if you enter using method #4, as everyone who “Likes” the page will be automatically entered in the drawing. (But please note that if you are the winner, I may try to contact you via a Facebook private message.)
Obviously, you can increase your chances of winning by using all four methods. 😉
Please leave a valid email address (which will not be published or shared) when filling out the comment form so that I can contact you if you win.
The giveaway will end next Friday, July 8th, 2011 at 12:00pm EST. The winner will be chosen by a random number generator and be notified via email or a private Facebook message.
Thanks for reading, thanks for all the support, and good luck!
Edited to add, 7/2/11:
There have been quite a number of people who are commenting multiple times in hopes that this will increase their chances of winning. Since this is the largest giveaway I have run to date, I am being extra careful and have been keeping careful tabs on ALL entries (and yes, this includes IP addresses). Multiple/duplicate entries are immediately deleted, so these people are only wasting their time. And to those who are playing fair, thank you!
HHMMMMM…. Let’s see, well I would use the gift card for buying anything realted to music. I am a radio disc jockey here in Quito, Ecuador in SOuth America. I have a radio show here which can be heard online. I would buy books realted to music to further my knowledge on alternative music. I would also buy music to complete certain collections.
I also hit like on the facebook page.
Just left a message on my twitter account which is @vagonalt
1) I would use the card to put toward a new prime lens! I have been eyeing the 35mm for way too long and the giftcard would offset the cost so nicely.
2) I tweeted as you asked! My twitter name is DreamPrayCreate
3) I liked this post via the FB button.
4) I have been a fan since you first announced you have a FB page now. I’ve been following your blog aside from that for what seems like a long time – since you were in college I think even and listed on RBJ!!!
I would use the gift card for diapers!
Well if I won the $100 gift card I would use it to buy a sodastream.

Liked this on FB user Trinity Reyes.
I would purchase finance books. Some for personal and some for business. I have many on my wishlist but can’t justify that right now seeing I’m in a no-spending mode. Fingers crossed and yay for you. You are one popular blogger I feel special knowing you 🙂
I’m a fan of your page! (would of been minus the giveaway)

Oooh, what would I buy…hmmm…I think I’d have to start with (finally) buying Jillian Michaels’ 6 week 6 pack workout dvd. Apparently I am a glutton for punishment? After that, I’d probably buy a few books I have on my reading list…

I would use my Amazon money to buy the book set A Song of Fire and Ice. Game of Thrones Season 1 was awesome, and I need MORE

I would spend the gc on either a new digital camera or diapers — my little one is due right around yours!
