For those of you that may have not read the first post about this contest I suggest you read it here. In the total time that I ran the blog rush widget (about 3 weeks), I received only 5 visitors! This is terrible and the reason why I decided to dump the widget and give the space away for free to two lucky winners.

Well, I just got done going through the comments, my RSS email subscriptions and checking out blog posts for the contest and assembling a list of entries. I assigned a users name with how many entries they had like:

User 1 commented on the blog post so their entry number is 1
User 2 commented on the blog post and posted on their blog so their entries numbers are 2 - 12 etc. etc.

I did this until all of the commenters, blog posters and email RSS subscribers were accounted for and then I went to Randomizer.org to pull two numbers out of my set of entries to come up with the numbers 5 and 31 which belonged to the following two winners:

ContestBeat.com, who blogged about the entry and commented on the post. They advertise Blog contests for free so check them out.

and

FatTony69.com, who blogs about anything and everything. (FatTony69 being his Xbox Live Gamertag.)

So two of the people with the most entries happened to win this contest. Looks like those of you that want to enter the next contest I run you should do a little more than just comment on the post

Thanks again to all who entered. The winners have one week to claim their spot. Please send me your 125 x 125 ad along with the URL you want associated with it to chris [at] chrisguthrie.net. Overall I view this contest as a success especially considering it was only advertised through my blog. If I give out bigger prizes next time I’ll promote it more heavily.

My future contests that involve email RSS subscribers will count towards anyone who has been subscribed to my RSS feed regardless of the time frame that the contest goes under so make sure you subscribe to my RSS feed via email today!
