“Over at Ashwin’s blog (contest details were at http://www.ashwinkhanna.com/archives/19), you will find one crazy blog owner!! You can win $2500!! To enter just copy this text and paste it in your blog!! But hurry, this competition will not last long! So get posting!”

Certainly great linkbait, and will probably get him many more links than spending $2500 on Google AdWords.

On the other hand, one would think he would have been better off making the link a keyword rather than “Ashwin’s Blog,” but to each his own.

And, don’t forget you can win an iPod too: “Michael Kwan and Ed Lau are working on a new hockey blog and they need your help! If you come up with a totally awesome name for their blog, you can win an 8GB iPod nano! More information about the contest can be found on Michael’s freelance writing blog and on Ed’s personal blog.”

Maybe you would like an iPhone? One that hasn’t been blended (and sold for $901!!!)? Well, internet marketing savant, Mr. Gary Lee is giving away a free iPhone (8 GB model). You’ll also want to visit his Golf Equipment website and maybe even get an online coupon code good for stuff for women, which will certainly be fantastic if you are a woman or need to buy a gift for one. Or, maybe even if you’re not a woman, but thought you were.

Sure, maybe a Linkbait Extravaganza should have more than three links, eh? Well, sorry, but that’s all folks!

Perhaps a Linkbaitapalooza will have more, but that’ll have to be for another day!

ALL RIGHT! Since you insist, how about one more linkbait link…

If you’re all hot and bothered by the August heat, you might want to consider playing strip poker with Bloggrrl.com. Or, if you’re not comfortable sitting at home naked in front of your computer, while the neighbor kids stare through the living room window, then maybe you just ought to read Bloggrrl’s take on the death-dealing cat instead.

Then, pop on over to Average Joe Blogger and say “Hello” because, without him, this Linkbait Extravaganza would have been only half as exciting.

And, now let’s see what kind of spam comments a post containing words and phrases like strip poker, naked, hot, hot naked chicks and pheromones will get me. Granted, I added to the list, but it was already attracting a naughty element, so why not push the envelope a little further? And give a shout-out to Doug H. too.

UPDATE September 1, 2007: Ashwin’s blog contest link now leads to a 404 error page, so I have disabled the link.
