We’re giving away a link for a month on PlugIM. For the entire month of February, every time you contribute to the PlugIM.com community you increase your odds of winning. Every post, comment or plug from February 1st through the 28th counts. At the end of the month, we’ll tally everyone’s points, and for each point you have, you’ll receive 1 entry in the drawing (which will be done electronically). Here are the point values:

• Every news post: 2 points
• Every vote (plug): 1 point
• Every comment: 5 points!
• Mention PlugIM in a blog post: 50 points! (Must post a link to the blog entry in the comments of this post.)

So if you make 5 comments and post 10 news stories in February you’ll have 45 entries in the drawing.

Why are comments worth so much more? Simple, the goal is to get more conversation going on the stories that are submitted. My personal request: please don’t just post every internet marketing related story you can find on the web. Don’t plug every story that’s submitted. And don’t make comments on every story such as “Wow, that’s really cool” or “Awesome info, thanks for sharing!” While these comments may in fact be true, the goal of this giveaway isn’t to encourage spamming, it’s to encourage constructive participation. I have no easy way of policing this, so I ask that everyone play responsibly and if it’s a success, this could become a monthly event.

Why are you just finding out about this half way through the month? Well the giveaway was announced in the newsletter February 1st and the subscribers were purposely given a head start. If you want to make sure not to miss out on similar newsletter-subscriber-only opportunities in the future, simply signup for the newsletter in right sidebar menu of PlugIM.com.
