$50 Clown Costume {Giveaway}

January 22, 2012 By Angie

In celebration of seeing what SEO can do for a single blog post, I’m giving away a $50 Gift Certificate from HalloweenCostumes.com to buy clown costumes so that you to can throw a Circus Themed Birthday Party and have the guest or guests of honor arrive in style.

I’ve been blogging for years now, and in that time I’ve learned quite a bit about SEO (Search Engine Optimization). I’ve been able to utilize this knowledge on sites that I write/work for, but on my own blog, my emphasis is not so much of SEO as it is on my family and what interests me.

However, recently I wrote a post using all the tools I’ve learned about SEO, and guess what? It totally worked. The post brings in LOTS of organic traffic and it shows up on the first page of a Google search for “How to Throw a Circus Party“. The best part is that the post was not written with any other purpose than to showcase my twins super fun circus themed party.

One winner will win $50 in credit to HalloweenCostumes.com to use toward clown costumes or accessories.

Entry Requirement:

Leave me a comment telling me you’d like to win!

Extra Entry Options:

Like Seven Clown Circus on Facebook.
Visit HalloweenCostumes.com on Facebook.
Up to 2 Tweets a day (spaced by at least 1 hour each) will be accepted as extra entries, but you have to leave a comment for each Tweet, and please include the link to the contest in the tweet, or just click the tweet button. Sample tweet: {$50} GC #giveaway from @funcostumes http://bit.ly/xqEbnG Enter to win via @7clowncircus. PLS RT.

Contest ends on Monday, January 30th at midnight. Winner will be drawn with a random number generator and contacted via email. Only open to US Residents.

Don't miss an act! Sign up for daily emails or subscribe to my feed. I'd love for you to 'like' me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter, Pinterest, or pop in to my Tip Junkie Craft Room for all the latest updates.

I would love to win but I would like to spend the GC on an adult clown costume so I could put on a show for parties in our small area. We do not have the kind of resources (like renting a cotton candy machine) like you do in your area. I’m glad SEO is workin’ for ya. Call me lazy but I have not dug into it as much as I should or could have. I started to and got so lost and confused. Kudos to you though.

Braided Sock Bun

How to Make a Braided Sock Bun is the most time consuming of my top Up-Do styles for the summer. It’s easy to do, but takes a bit of time because it requires a few small braids within the bun and those will take a few minutes. The pictures don’t really show how pretty the braids are [...]

How to Make a “Twisty” Bun is one of my favorite Up-Do styles for the summer. My thirteen year old daughter does this style for me and it never fails to draw tons of compliments. The undo is perfect for the summer because it gets your hair up and off your neck so you’ll stay [...]
