iPod Touch Contest - Win a FREE 16GB iPod Touch

Posted on Friday, March 28th, 2008

The Datepad “Blog for an iPod Touch”
All of us here at Datepad.com strive in having the best support for our users, and as such we like to offer incredibly cool contests like this month’s $5,000 Dream Date “Spring Fling 08″ contest, and by removing the need to use your credit card to join an online dating service.

To continue this trend, we are offering the blogging community a FREE 16GB iPod touch. We had originally planned on giving away an 8GB (which would still be an incredibly awesome free gift), but we thought our dedicated supporters deserved a free upgrade to the 16GB model, so that’s what we did!

For those of you who are living under a rock, you can see all of the amazing iPod Touch features over at the Apple page.

How do I win a free iPod Touch?
This is going to be a blog contest that is 100% free to join for anyone who owns a blog. All you have to do is write about this blog contest, and include a short snippet about what Datepad does and you will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a free $400.00 16GB iPod Touch.

I am a big fan of statistics. I like to know everything about everyone that visits my websites so that I can learn how to better satisfy their experience. While for the launch I have been targetting the United States and Canada for my marketing campaigns, it has been interesting to find out that we are receiving a lot of traffic from unexpected areas due to the power of the internet. See for yourself:

United States- 64.4%

Canada - 7.8%
United Kingdom - 6.7%
India - 4.4%
Australia - 3.3%

This truly shows you the effect viral marketing has on the internet. If you are not utilizing it, you are missing out on a lot of potential clients.
