The $13,000 RSS Contest

Every affiliate worth is salt knows who John Chow and Shoemoney are. It seems the two gurus of affiliate marketing decided to have a contest to see who can increase their feed by the greatest number of subscribers in x amount of time.

Shoemoney has it down, like a champ. On Saturday Shoemoney posted up for advertisers sponsors for an RSS giveaway.

Each day four prizes will be given away - one prize for each RSS service (Google Reader Subscriber, News Gator Subscriber, Bloglines , and one for all others) . An additional GrandPrize giveaway will be given out on November 1st. This prize will only be available to those who entered every day so get crackin!

A full prize list has not yet been posted, but some of the early noteables include an xbox360, a PS3, a WordPress coding from PSDchopstick, and full conference pass to Search Engine Strategies Chicago. The prizes total a whopping $13,000 - no small amount considering the offer for sponsors was only open for four days.

It certainly appears that with this giveaway ShoeMoney has the contest in the bag (not to mention new readers and the great link bait), but you never know what John Chow has up his sleeve.
