First Giveaway: The Producers

Today, I got a second copy of the DVD of The Producers, in addition to the one I already had for my review a few days ago. What does that mean? Some lucky reader gets to walk away with it.

So, we have to hold some sort of contest to decde who gets it. I have two ideas so far:

  • A link/SEO contest with a random drawing. In this case, you’d link to the review of the movie on your own blog, and after a week, I’d grab a list of all the links from Technorati, and choose one person at random with a random number generator, and they’d get the DVD.
  • A comments random drawing. In this case, everyone who wrote a legitimate comment on any blog on this site over a designated period would get one entry, and then a winner would be chosen at random.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I’m tempted to go with option 1, but I’m going to leave it up to you guys, since you have to deal with it.

  3. I’ll opt for number 2 since I don’t have a blog site.

  4. I’d recommend the comments, only because such a link might not fit into the theme of some blogs and would look out of place. Like if someone that reads this page has a sports blog, it’d be weird for their readers to suddenly find a movie review in the middle of it.

    And I have no personal interest in that recommendation, as my blog has a little bit of everything :)
