Quintrex · 23rd December 2007, 09:30 PM

I'm feelin' pretty bloody lucky!

JayD · 23rd December 2007, 10:30 PM

Maybe I'm wrong, But how many of you's blokes actually said, " I'm In", Isn't that the key entry word?? I would hate to see you hopefulls miss out because of not saying this...Or .. did I read it wrong?

Good Luck To all

TreeDimensional · 24th December 2007, 06:29 AM

Ok, Ok, Ok, I'm In, Now if I could only find that bottle that I got last Christmas, I'd give it a rub too. Oops, that wasn't a Genie bottle was it

mdvaden · 24th December 2007, 01:29 PM

Hey... it's getting close.

So do the submitters have until midnight, or "Christmas Day" as in daytime?

I hope they realize that you are almost a full day ahead of us.

If that's the case, someone could miss out if they waited until our Christmas Eve, and it was already Christmas night in your neck of the woods

Or are you averaging it worldwide?

Ekka · 24th December 2007, 02:42 PM

We'll have to wait till the last time zone crosses 12.00midnight of the 24th of December

It appears to be this place

Current local time in Adak - Alaska - U.S.A.

Official list so far

Quintrex
Azrael
Pomme
TreeDimensional
Therrin
Shaggs
TrailWatcher
SouthSoundTree

That's only eight, that's less than I expected, so that being the case I can safely say you all win!

Yep, no bull. It is Christmas morning here, we've had breakfast with champagne, kids are having a blast and I'm getting ready to stoke the Weber for roast.

So, all of you in the above list have some work to do now.

This is very important, you need to do the following.

1/ Find me a pic or banner that is (or can be sliced to) 748px wide and 150px high

2/ Get your 3 keywords, imperative, your location to be included so arborist is vague compared to consulting arborist Sydney

3/ Start thinking about 3 blocks of text, they'll come under 3 headings. So think of 3 things, hopefully matched to your 3 keywords. For instance, Consulting arborist Sydney with a blurb about it. Then Tree reports, then hazard evaluation etc.

For you tree guys who dont understand here we go, tree removals, mulching, stump grinding.

Just think of 3 keyworded and text to follow, if you cant write about what you do then how do you expect anyone else to?

4/ 1 pic per section (3 pics all up) would be wise, start looking for pics, size would be around 200px to 250px to support each section.

5/ Make sure you go with your business name and details and they should match your other advertising.

General pointer, it's wise for this site to have between 500 and 1500 words. The page will be divided in 3 headings covering 3 vital parts of your business. The wording should be natural to what your local customers use, dont go over the top with arb stuff, talk their language, use their terms. If they call trees limeys or hedges use that terminology. To be brought up as a local means you should have no accent and text does carry an accent!

Anyway, lets see how further entries go, but for you blokes above, time to get some writing and research.

Any chance that you might want to start a thread for this in the Qualified section where each of them could post paragraphs in case they might want help with variations of them, which may overload you. But each may be able to help the other, and I wouldn't mind helping with a few paragraphs either.

Ekka · 24th December 2007, 10:31 PM

It's going to be seen on the net so best kept here. Nothing to hide really, it's a 1 page deal.

Format is laid out, just a matter of filling in the blanks.

Therrin · 24th December 2007, 11:05 PM

Ekka,

I've gotta say thanks so very much not only for setting up the idea, but also to bestow those of us who qualified all as winners. I really appreciate that.

Up here at my parents place and had told them about the "raffle", was checking to see how it turns out and was quite suprised! I'll start getting info together as soon as I get home.

Merry Christmas!

Quintrex · 24th December 2007, 11:53 PM

Thanks Ekka, I'll get on to it after the holidays.
I hope you all had a good day, and the roast turned out ok.
Cheers
Steve
