As some of you may know, VAR is hosting a Blog Brawl over at VarBuzz. It seems that some people are pulling out all the stops to try to win this thing. Given the first rule of the Blog Brawl is that there are no rules, Brian W Chase (admittedly with the help of Dakno Real Estate Marketing) has resorted to "name dropping" and sharing link love to try to win more votes.
So how valuable is your vote?
Apparently, Kevin Tomlinson has agreed to let you camp out in his $22M Apogee Penthouse listing and Brad Andersohn will teach you how to rock out with free Guitar lessons just for voting for Brian Chase! Want to see the rest of the bribes? Visit the Charlottesville Real Estate Blog for the complete list!
All in Good Fun
Okay so technically, none of these bloggers offered up these bribes / prizes (or even their consent for that matter) :-) but that’s just a minor detail right? Anyway, check out the post. And while you’re there, click over to the VAR Buzz Blog Brawl and cast your vote for Brian Chase A.K.A. Charlottesville Real Estate Blog
A Free Blog! No Really. We are Serious!
Since I doubt that Jeff Turner will be opening up a barber shop any time soon or Jay Thompson is going into the t-shirt manufacturing business, I don’t think you’re going to get anything from your vote other than a warm fuzzy feeling that you helped a fellow blogger. However, if Brian Chase makes it to the final round, I do plan on resorting to "real" bribery to help guarantee him a win. In the final round, a vote for Brian Chase (Charlottesville Real Estate Blog) will give you the chance to win a free SwiftBlog from Dakno Marketing! Stay tuned for details.
