The Second Annual
"It’s Dog-Gone Hot Today,
and Uncle Stan Wants ta Have Some FUN"
Contests
Lemme tell ya how things are…
You’ve all been introduced to my dearly beloved in a previous Big Dog Bulletin (The July 5 edition of the Big Dog Bulletin, "How You Can Make Stan's Wife Happy"). Now, ya gotta understand that Jan is a very fair-skinned red-head. Her idea of a heat-wave is any temperature over 72 degrees. So needless to say, when it’s 96 degrees, like it is today, she gets, well, sorta cranky. Naturally, she takes it out on me because, after all, I don’t really "work" for a living – I just "press buttons and play in front of the computer all day."
So we’re gonna have a little contest - TWO contests in fact – to lighten things up a little…..
Contest Number One:
The "Why Doesn’t This Blasted URL Work?" Contest.Below you will see two URL’s. What I want you to do is to tell me.....
(1) Why does URL #1 work and URL #2 does NOT?
(2) What is the difference (if any) between the two URL's?
(3) Why is this important to your online marketing efforts?URL # 1:

with
"I’ve got the answers!" in the subject line of the email. The first Big Dog to submit all three correct answers - AFTER 9:00 AM Eastern Time (USA), on Saturday, July 20 - wins a shiny, new fifty dollar bill in his (or her) PayPal account from the ol’ Stan-meister.Remember! You'll disqualify yourself if you submit your entries before 9:00 AM on Saturday!
Contest Number Two:
The "Wait'll Ya Hear THIS One, Stan" Contest.Okay! Make me laugh!
As you folks know from reading the "Secrets of the Big Dogs" ebook, I like to intersperse my writing with a little humor. You can't take this Internet marketing thing TOO seriously, or you just might start looking around for a high-powered rifle and a school book depository!
Anyway, fellow Dogs, here's what we're gonna do.....
Submit to us your best jokes about marketing on the Internet. We'll run the top twenty or so in the next issue of the Big Dogs Bulletin, and we're gonna let YOU, our MEMBERSHIP, decide what's REALLY funny. That's right. We're all gonna VOTE on the top three jokes. The first prize winner will receive $50.00 in their PayPal account, the second prize winner will receive $25.00, and third place will get $10.00.
Your jokes can be about the Internet, about computers in general, or about Internet marketing. Just make 'em F-U-N-N-Y, doggone it!
You can submit as many jokes as you desire, but they must ALL be in just ONE email to us. They can be regular, "story-type" jokes (A guy walks into a bar with a computer on his shoulder....."). They can be riddles ("How many tech support people does it take to screw in a lightbulb?"). Just DON'T send us cartoons in the form of attachments - remember that we do not open ANY attachments here at Home Office.
Submit YOUR best jokes to.....
ThePowerTeam2000@cs.com
with "This is gonna make ya laugh, Stan!" in the subject line of your email.
All entries must be received by Tuesday, July 23. In the event of duplications, the FIRST one received will be printed in the Bulletin.
There you have it, sports fans! Two cool contests to take your mind off your regular marketing chores over the weekend!
So let’s have some fun and make some money!
