We’ve seen advertising offered as a blog contest prize before, but kudos goes to Blog-Op for thinking outside of the box and being the first blog we’ve seen offering a free ad spot in an RSS feed as a prize.

All you have to do to enter this contest is deep link to any of Blog-Op’s posts from your blog.  I linked to their contest page above, so I’m in.  You can do a review, a single paragraph, a text link, whatever.  But a full review will count as two entries.  And you can have multiple entries, as long as each link is to a different post.

Blog-OP will draw the winner at random on July 23.  And I encourage you to subscribe to their RSS feed even if you don’t win, because I like the fact that they use the word “shall” in their posts.  It makes an English major happy.
