It's that time of year again, the countdown is on to HGTV's annual Dream Home Giveaway! Enter daily through February 19 for your chance to win the HGTV Dream Home 2009. This years home is Sonoma, CA. The entire package is valued at over $2 million! It includes a swanky new home and a new 2009 GMC® Acadia. Not bad eh, you can enter once a day through February 19, 2009. I must say though that I will be really upset if someone I send over beats me out of it. Good Luck anyway!

Congratulations to the winner of my first contest, who has now been notified.

Thank you to everyone who participated and to my one year old son for making the random selection. I hope that my next contest will be bigger and will require a more technical approach to selection than a few names on paper and drawn from a toy dump truck.

The winner has requested to remain anonymous, but was an email subscriber and decided to go with the Ipod. We all know you are going to use it as a re-gift Mr or Mrs Anonymous! No worries though, I do it after every X-mas!

I hope everyone had a great New Years!

To start off my new year, I thought I would try something new. I started my first AdWords campaign today. I have paired it with Affiliate Marketing and hopefully I will make some $s from it. I am not going to give out the keywords, because I don't want you all running up my bill or competing with me! lol Here is the landing page for you to go and check out though. Feel free to participate. I will update as to how it is doing later.

Give feedback on what you think. Once again this is my first campaign and first time building a landing page, so be nice.

I just found a site that I wish I would have found before I started buying X-mas gifts. The site is called EverHYPE and is for Pop Music Reviews, but it is so much more than that. You can read and give reviews on Movies, Games as well as the music reviews. It is setup like a social networking site, in that you can create your own profile and have friends, with one little twist, the other users can rate you and you’re HYPEs. Your user rating can go from a “novice” to “God Like”. The more ratings and discussions you have the better your score is.

Do you love to talk with friends about movies you just watched or games you just played? Do you like to start or join conversations about music that you like or dislike? If you said yes, then I recommend going over and checking it out. The site has a great design and is very user friendly.

So, why did I say that I wish I had found this earlier? We got a game for our Wii that just isn’t up to my standards (AMF Bowling: Pinbusters), clearly if I would have done a little more research on a site like this, I would have know that. It got a 53% on EverHYPE, but I think it is worse than that. That's whats great about this, like it or dislike it, you can give the world your opinion.

I would hope that companies are on these sites as well, learning and studying how to better their products.

I hope everyone had a great holiday. It's time for me to get back to blogging after the Holiday madness and a quick trip back to my hometown in Louisiana to see the family.

Don't forget to go and sign up for my RSS feed by email to enter the contest for an iPod Shuffle or Solio charger. Contest ends at the end of the month!
