| 3rd. |
A
Year's Free High Quality Web Hosting.
Value: $72
USD.
Great, fast technical
support. Best darn web host I've ever
used in ten years of being on the 'net. And
you can tell by the yearly fee they're inexpensive,
too.
Disclaimer: This entry-level
package is great for your blog(s) but
is probably not suitable for a resource-intensive
site, like a chat site or a busy bulletin
board.

A
List Of TigerTom Tips And Tricks.
Value: Priceless(!)
Winner: Everyone who
enters. It's a kind of consolation prize.
When
you are sent the email announcing the
winners, it will include my list of
up-to-date web promotion tricks.
It will list inexpensive and free ways
to promote your blog easily, and rat-out
some popular schemes which I've found don't
work as advertised. Relax, there's no aff1li@te
sales pitch, and there will be no requirement
to buy cr*ppy $97 softwares!
It's just a way of thanking you for taking
the trouble to enter.

Entry requirements:
Have a blog. Offer at least one outstanding post.
Enter
here.
Rules:
Ummm .... I guess I'll make
up the rules as I go along. This is the first time
I've done this sort of thing, and it's easier
than writing a long list of rules ;)
Briefly: Anyone can enter, and the judge's
decision is final. I reserve the right to not award
a prize if entries are too few or below-standard
i.e. I won't reward dull blogs. That would look
stupid: "And the winner is: a splog!"
Read
the hints below.
Winners
will also be listed here with a review and
hyperlink to their blog.
Closing date for entries:
Nov. 1st 2008,
All
Soul's Day.
Winner announced: Dec.
8th 2008,
Feast
Of The Immaculate Conception.
That's it!

Updated SE0 Adsense Pro Theme:
NOTES:
Foreign residents can be sent
the cash value of the first prize
instead by PayPal,
if they deem their postal service too unreliable.
Due
to security restrictions in place at TigerTom.Com,
residents in some countries may not be able to
access parts of this site.
Hint No. 1:
If your blog is about:
SE0;
Affili~te or int~rn~t marketing;
A Working Mom's blog;
A blog about blogging;
Composed mainly of products reviews ...
... it'd better be pretty darn good to win :)
Why?
Well, I recently went through a list of over 300
d0-f0ll0w blogs looking for some easy b@ckl1nks.
After a while, I started to see some patterns.
A blog which had interesting, unique posts
was a pleasant rarity. I soon became brutal about
which blogs I would bother dropping my charming
comments on.
Hence the idea for this award.
Hint No. 2:
It might be a good
idea to enter as soon as possible. Just saying.
