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Please leave a valid email address (which will not be published or shared) when filling out the comment form so that I can contact you if you win.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!
Also, I “liked” the post!
I’ll use it for a new camera lens.

That’s an awesome giveaway! I love Amazon too. I have never won any giveaway ever before, but let me try my luck 🙂
I really want to get the Nintendo 3DS, so your gift card would subsidize that for me.
I have a couple of wedding party gifts from Amazon that I would buy!
Wow, awesome giveaway! I love your blog. There are always lots of funny, geeky things to share with my husband. I’d love the giftcard. We’ve got a baby coming so the giftcard would be useful for just about any baby thing I could find on Amazon! Thanks lady! (jennwhunt@gmail.com)
I would definitely use the $100 on some books I have in my cart currently. Need some new reading material for the summer! (p.s. Have you read Divergent yet? Such a good book!)

I’d probably buy something for my dad because he never buys anything for himself and he’s pretty awesome and deserves it.
Congrats! What a fun give away. Star Wars forever.

Love your blog! I would buy some books for hubs and myself. Yay, books.
I would use the gift card to buy baby stuff. BTW, I’ve been following your blog since I was pregnant with my Baby C. Just wanted to follow someone in the same boat. Congrats on Bebe Deux!
