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Please leave a valid email address (which will not be published or shared) when filling out the comment form so that I can contact you if you win.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!
I would buy a grill if I won the Amazon gift card! Thanks for hosting this giveaway! 🙂
I tweeted about the giveaway.

Congrats on 100K and I was one of the noobs that found you in June. Love your blog and gl with everything!
I would use the gift card to buy books for my Kindle. I love to read!
Congrats! You are sooo popular 😉
Oops, forgot to tell how I would use them! I would use them to feed my book addiction – or possibly buy the LotR blu-ray set.
I would probably buy my little brother the backpack he wants for his birthday 🙂
I tweeted, too! http://twitter.com/#!/JenDeats/statuses/86830703488143360

And, I liked the Geek in Heels page on Facebook! Yay!
I’d love to have the Amazon gift card to be able to purchase some more ebooks for my kindle!
And I liked this post with the FB like button!
I’m saving up to get a Blendtec blender to help with my commitment to get healthy!
I’d totally buy Kindle books! 😀
I liked this post using the button at the bottom of the post!

Oooo, I would buy tools. I’ve taken up making things and all I want to buy is tools (and maybe some music to build by)!
Depending on which one I won, I would either use it to buy my husband a Kindle, or some more books on writing for myself. 😀
There are some books and movies I’ve been eyeing (already loaded in my cart lol) for some time- would love the opportunity to finally get some of them 🙂
Just tweeted!!
Just “facebook liked” this post 🙂
umm..new heels?

Congratulations! This is a great giveaway – I would use the money from Amazon to buy some stuff for our baby on the way. We have an amazon wish list of a million things for the baby since I am first time mom 🙂
And I would use the gift cards to supply my book addition. I got a Kindle last year for Christmas and usually read several books a week — it gets expensive!
I just tweeted too 🙂
I would love to buy something shiny for my kitchen, but I would probably end up spending it on books and toys for my three-month-old 🙂
