On July 23rd, 2009 WhereDoesAllMyMoneyGo.com will be turning two years old. In order to celebrate, I thought it would be nice to have a big giveaway since the reason I keep blogging and the reason this blog keeps growing is because of YOU the reader! Prizes and details are down below, but first a bit of retrospection:
Readership Statistics
In the first year this blog received 62,731 visitors and this almost tripled to 176,898 in year two. Similarly, “pageviews” increased from 128,144 to 305,626. Cumulatively this means the blog has had 239,629 visitors and 433,770 pages read in total. It’s kind of neat to think that people have read almost half a million pages of my stuff in two years. Regular readership is always increasing too – currently there are 1,341 daily subscribers, 744 of which choose to receive the email updates (sign up here) and 597 of which choose to subscribe using an RSS reader (click to sign up here).
The Prizes!
I kind of like the idea of rewarding as many people as possible, so there will be a few prizes up for grabs:
Win One of Two Real Silver Canadian Dollars
The Royal Canadian Mint produces some spectacular commemorative coins, and this first one commemorates the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games (retail value $54.95).
The second coin commemorates 100 Years of Flight in Canada (retail value $39.95).
I should point out that the face value of each coin is only $1 and I trust the winner will NOT try to spend the coins! :)
Win One of 10 Movies About Money (On DVD):
Wall Street- Boiler Room
- Brewster’s Millions
- Casino
- Ocean’s Eleven (The Original)
- Rogue Trader
- Trading Places
- Glengarry Glen Ross
- Other People’s Money
- Barbarians At The Gate
Win One of 5 Books About Money:
- Findependence Day by Jonathan Chevreau
