The Free iPod Touch Goes to….

Thanks to all of you who subscribed to Marketing Pilgrim and entered our contest to win a free iPod Touch.

[This is where some of you groan, because you missed the post with the secret message]

We had over 70 entries and, after asking my wife to pick a number between 1 and 70, we have a winner!

Congratulations Michael Jensen of SoloSEO.com.

Michael’s among the many readers that also happens to be a past client–so I’m happy to ship him the sleek iPod Touch.

Sad that you didn’t win? Check back next Monday. I’m cooking up a new contest that will be even bigger than this one!

    Congrats, Mike.
    So did he meet the guidelines to get a 32GB Touch? I hope he did!

    I use Feedburner to read your blog articles and I never see your entries to your contests like this one? How do I miss them each time? :)

    @Casey - if you use an RSS reader or Email you would have seen the message at the bottom of the “Linky Goodness, Feb 28″ post. :-)

    @ Andy Wow! Boy do I feel stupid! I just looked back and I realized I thought it was your regular blog ad and skimmed over it.

    @Casey - part of the reason of putting the message there is to get readers looking at the ads. ;-)
