It’s The Hochstadt.com Party Contest!

It’s The Hochstadt.com Party Contest!
Yesterday shall have been the day for my blog to break Alexa’s Top 50,000 rank, if… yeah, if Alexa wouldn’t have changed its ranking algorithm! LOL
While I was eagerly checking and waiting for my blog to break Alexa’s 50,000 mark (so I can celebrate this with you,) I found out Alexa just changed its Ranking algorithm (04/16/2008)…
http://www.alexa.com/site/company/announcement
My blog’s Alexa Rank now dropped from 51,059 down to 174,666!
That means, NO ranking report, NO “showing off” of Alexa’s formerly sky-rocking hochstadt.com ranking graph, NO big numbers—nada of these—and therefore NO “Alexa Top 50,000 In 107 Days” title – BUT…
We will simply change the tag and party anyway! :-D
(Business Lesson: Never ever be dependent on any 3rd party resource!)
You probably remember the astonishing party I held when my blog broke Alexa’s old 100,000 mark? OK, as a reminder…
http://www.hochstadt.com/alexa-top-100000-in-66-days
Now, because of the Alexa thing, now it is…
The Hochstadt.com Party Contest!
I invited a select few Top Entrecarders and Internet Entrepreneurs to join our one-of-a-kind Hochstadt.com Party Contest and celebrate together that it is indeed possible to catapult from no man’s land to popularity in 107 days!
Without further ado, let’s get to the “Party Contest Meat”—or in other words, what YOU can WIN at this Hochstadt.com Party Contest!

Phew! Wanna count? OK, I made it easy for you…
These are contributions for 200+ winners (!) with a monetary value of more than $7,000+ (!!) and exactly 66,666ec (”ec” = Entrecard Credits)!!! This is by far the BIGGEST Party Contest in Entrecard’s History!
What? How you can win? I’m glad you asked… ;-)
Here is how to enter the party contest and belong to the lucky winners…
- Subscribe to the Hochstadt.com Blog Announcement List (see the sign-up field in the top right hand corner of this page, right below my image? Yup, there it is.) Not only does it bring you 2 points but I may send you a cool gift when you do :-) – 2 Points
- Post a comment to this blog post - 1 Point (one point per person)
- Stumble and digg about this contest and fav me on Technorati - 1 Point respectively
- Use the below party contest image(s) on your site (linking to this party contest) - 2 Points
- Write about this blog and this Hochstadt.com Party Contest on your blog, linking to both this blog and the Hochstadt.com Party Contest. Use your own wording, one that fits to your audience. (It shall be easy because the above prizes fit to ALL audiences!) - 10 Points
- Write about this blog and this contest on your blog, AND link to ALL contributors (just like you see my list above including all the prizes) - 30 Points
- *PSSST* When you write about this contest on your blog it may be a good idea you indicate which of the above prizes you would like to win most. Perhaps Santa is listening and your wish comes true, who knows… ;-)
Hint: Use the same e-mail address and Web site’s URL when performing the above contest actions. That way, I will be able to track your entries. ;-)
NOTE: I changed the point structure slightly because it turned out to be a bit unfairly weighted. Hopefully it is fair now so more people can win something. And I now give 2 points when using the party contest image below.
The more points you accumulate the higher your chances to win one of the BIG prizes worth up to $357 per single prize! And yes, all above sponsors are entitled to enter the contest, too! :-)
Wanna use the party contest image on your site? Here are three versions to choose from…
Now let’s party!
Draw of the winners will be held on MAY 1st!

6Wow, that is a lot of prizes! You’ve been very busy. I’ve already done the write-up and will keep promoting it. Great job!
I’m giving away some bonus prizes in conjunction to encourage people even further to enter and link to all. Like they really needed more incentive :). But they’ve got to let me know they used the link to all option by commenting on my blog.
Hope that’s OK. If not, well then, just edit this comment.

I have my party hat, balloons, streamers and lots of confetti.
Even though Alexa may have temporarily disappointed you, your enthusiasm hasn’t let anyone down and that’s the true spirit of living.
We came to party and we shall party!
Btw, if you send me your Technorati link, I will fave you.

@ Pat, awesome video! And this to 30 video sites? Hmm… an excellent idea! Now, does this entitle Pat to receiving extra points? Hmmm…

77I don’t normally ever enter blog giveaway competitions because the prizes don’t attract me that much (well, ok, money and ECs and adverts aren’t that undesirable). But when I saw on Aerten’s blog that one of the prizes was one of her artworks, I thought I’d try and raise a few points (via subscription and stumbling and Technorati at least)…

78I’v subscribed, blogged, commented, linked to the image, linked to the Hochstadt blog and party page, linked to sponsors…so that’s maybe 45 points if I ain’t wrong!

101Hi,
I just made a post about this contest. I think I made them all correctly except for fave you becoz according to Technorati, I already reached the max. of 200.
By the way, just to inform you that there are 2 blogs with dead link; Jason of University Kid and Borzack of Making Myself Extra Money. No matter how many times I click them, they’re still dead.
Another thing, I think “Jonathan” is not the username of the owner of Archon Digital coz when I checked his About Me page, I did not see any name on it. I suppose you overlook it coz the name after him is Jonathon. Not sure though.
But you have really an amazing contest. It’s worth joining.
Thanks.

127Great participation! I’m taking note because after 3 days of advertising a 25 dollar contest of my own for a quick story about folks favorite places I have zero participation. Ha Ha Ha… I’ll figure it out I have one idea that feels like a good one, but I have many days of content and converting to a cleaner html template.
Best of luck,
Josh
