Well we’re back around to the first and most popular phrase we’ve auctioned off so far, make money online. As always if you’d like your link to appear whenever that phrase is on this site, you need to bid! The starting bid will be $5 and the bidding will go up in increments of $5 as well. The auction closes on Sunday night at 11:59 pm central standard time and I’ll contact the winner after that. There is a bit of a twist this week but I’ll get to that in a minute.

Next Week on BloggingExperiment

Next week, there will be lot of exciting things coming your way. I already have the question (from several people) for Monday’s Reader Question Session, and I have two websites I’ve been asked to put Under the Microscope which I haven’t done for a while. I’m also hoping to have a VERY exciting announcement for you as well towards the end of the week but I’ll leave it at that since it’s still up in the air. Also, for any baseball fans that might be reading this, I want to let you know I’ve launched a new blog based on MLB trade rumors, trade reports and all the fun stuff associated with that. If you like America’s pastime, be sure to check it out and maybe even subscribe!

And last but not least, the twist.

Tuesday is my 23rd birthday. I’ve got to admit, I’m a big birthday guy and I’m pretty excited about it. The reason is of course, the presents. I love getting them. However, my mom always told me it’s better to give than to receive…. so, on Tuesday I’ll give away one of the 125×125 ad blocks to one of the bidders in this week’s Friday Phrase Auction! Not only will you be bidding to link that phrase to your site, you’ll also be entered into the drawing for a free ad block for the rest of the month (a $60 value!). As if that weren’t enough, at the end of the month every person who has bid on one of the auctions will also be entered into a grand prize drawing. I was hoping to have the package ready to announce today but that just didn’t happen but trust me, it’s going to be big.I probably should clarify a couple of points. First of all, each bid counts as an entry. Also, if you win an auction, you’ll get 3 additional entries on top of the entry per bid. Now, if you win an auction and then don’t pay, you’ll be automatically disqualified from the drawing. Basically, don’t bid unless you’re prepared to win.So, how’s that for a twist? I’m hoping this will inject a bit of excitement into the auction format and maybe even entice a few more of you to participate. Having said all that… do I hear $5? ;)
