Tracking202 is amazing. I just interviewed their CEO, Wes, and use their free PPC affiliate tracking tool on all my campaigns now. I remember there was alot of talk going around that the only reason they created the software was to steal everyones data and become billionaires. This is not the case! Even “if” they took your data, I mean do you really think two people are going to dent your stack? Doubt it. On top of that, their servers are top of the line and if you check out their blog you can see them actually taking the servers to the data center and installing them. (I do however understand that some people just don’t want to put their data out there, or simply don’t trust anyone elses servers but their own, and that’s fine.) Also, I must say the support is amazing and I find myself bothering the hell out of them with questions, and they dont seem to mind. Even if for some rare strange reason I can’t get ahold of them, I can always post on the their affiliate marketing forum.
Besides Tracking202, they have some amazing new stuff coming out so subscribe to their affiliate marketing blog so you stay up to date. AND they just released Export202that is now in Beta. This tool is great! You can take a campaign from Adwords and then import it into adCenter or Yahoo. Should save a ton of time and be a great tool for scaling campaigns.
Anyways, the point of this post is to tell you about a great contest they are running. You can win a Nintendo Wii, and a fresh Tracking202 t-shirt. All you have to do is write a blog post about the contest and you get your entry!
Here are the rules taken straight from the post:
RULES
1. The contest is only valid if we get 100 or more linkbacks aka participants.
2. Contest will end at Midnight PST on April 15th, 2008 (Tax Day). Winner will be announced within a week. IF for any reason we do not reach our goal of 100+ participants due to the short contest date, we may extend this to give more people a chance to enter but we may not so don’t count on this.
3. You must complete the requirement for the Bonus entries to count (more on bonus entries below).
4. Contest is open to everyone WorldWide so we’ll ship anywhere. However if there is a duty fee or tax fee for your country if you live outside of the US, you’re on your own. We will ship it as a gift in situations such as this and help alleviate any fees you might have to pay as much as possible.
And, here are the official requirements to enter the contest:
REQUIREMENTS
1. All you have to do is write a short blog post about this blog contest describing as best as you can the rules and requirements and the prize giveaway. The review must be a minimum of 250 words which isn’t hard if you include these rules. You must link to our homepage using the anchor text Free PPC Affiliate Tracking Tool, our blog using the anchor text Affiliate Marketing Blog, our blog contest using the anchor text Free Nintendo Wii, and our forum using the anchor text Affiliate Marketing Forum as shown here. Be creative on what you have to say. Do this and you’ll automatically get 5 entries to the prize drawing. Once you’ve completed the above, leave a comment on this blog entry with a URL to your post so we can verify your entry (this is important otherwise you will not get credit for the drawing; do not email us or send us the link on AIM).
2. Your blog must be at least 90 days old and have a minimum of 30 blog posts at the time of this contest. If you do not meet this requirement, we’re sorry, you can not participate. The main reason for this rule is because we want to weed out people making extra blogs just to get extra entries and we feel it’s only fair to link to those who have been active with their blogs. If you fall under this category but feel you should be qualified to enter, shoot me an email at steven@tracking202.com or contact me on AIM at T202Stevenand I will review over it with you. We will be checking whois to verify domain age as well.
Plus, there are a few ways to get yourself some bonus entries. Here they are taken straight from the post:
BONUS ENTRIES
You can earn bonus entries to increase your chance of winning. Here are some ways you can get additional entries:
1. If you were one of the people who signed up for Tracking202 early on prior to this contest and have been “ACTIVE”, you automatically get a bonus entry in our appreciation for being a user. This is merely a way for us to thank those who put faith in our services. (Keep in mind all bonus entries are only valid if you follow the requirements above; please contact me if you’ve entered with your blog so I can verify your username and bonus entry).
2. If you subscribe to our newsletter, blog RSS, or Stumble, Reddit, and Digg our site, we will add 2 additional entry for each of those earning you potentially 10 bonus entries.

3. Leave a comment! Please note leaving your post URL and following the above contest rules do not apply. By leaving an actual blog comment, we will include 1 extra free entry to the drawing as a bonus. Multiple comments will not earn you multiple extra entries.
