When I first mentioned Gyutae’s crazy internet marketing contest I told you that the prize pool was worth $6,113.

The contest ends April 1st (no joke) at 9PM ET, and is now valued at an incredible $71,435!!

Of course, a lot of that is due to a 2008 Hummer H2 which Gyutae claims to have been added to the prize pool…

…but he posted that on April 1st, so you can be pretty sure that it’s a joke.

Even so, a contest worth $15,575 (with practically nothing out of his own pocket) is an incredible achievement.

Way to go Gyutae!

I have to tip my hat to Gyutae Park of Winning The Web, who has just created what is possibly the best contest ever.

There’s currently $6,113 in total prizes (and it may well go even higher before this thing is over), and a lot of it (over $1,500) is cold, hard cash!

Crazy, right? Odds of winning depend on the number of entries that you get, so go read the post at Gyutae’s site for the full details and enter today!

Last week, I decided to bookmark 300 websites that load quickly and feature their Entrecard above the fold.

I split those bookmarks up into 10 different folders with 30 bookmarks in each. All I had to do then was go into a folder, click “Open All In Tabs”, wait a minute for the 30 pages to load, drop my Entrecard on each, then repeat the process with the other 9 folders.

Now that I have that all set up, it takes me less than 20 minutes to drop 300 Entrecards.

It’s very simple, and it’s an easy way to get 9,000 extra credits per month in a minimal amount of time.

The hard part is finding websites that both load quickly AND have their Entrecard in plain view. If it takes you 5 seconds to scroll down and find each Entrecard, that’s 25 extra minutes you’ll waste!

You can do the same thing on your own, but it will take a LOT of time. I spent over 8 hours and dropped over 2,000 Entrecards before I finally found 300 that met my criteria!

I Figured That A Lot Of People Might Be Interested In This List…

…so I made a website to share them with everybody!

The new website is PowerDropping.com, and it lists the 300 fastest-loading sites in the Entrecard network who position their Entrecard completely above the fold.

Why Should You Get As Many Entrecards As Possible?

I really think that the Entrecard system that Graham created is nothing short of genius, and that within the year Entrecard credits will become the defacto currency of the blogosphere.

You can already purchase goods and services with your credits in the Entrecard shops. These are things that real people pay real money for, like Adii’s Premium News Theme (available for either $99.95 cash or 6,500 Entrecards). Not only that, but people are starting to trade Entrecard credits straight up for cash! 10,000 credits recently sold on eBay for $61.

You could quickly and easily make an extra $50 per month in just 20 minutes per day thanks to PowerDropping.com! If you have multiple blogs in the Entrecard network, you could make hundreds of dollars.

And let’s not forget the intangible value of being able to build a brand for yourself. The more credits you have, the more you will be able to advertise across the blogosphere. Even if you aren’t getting a ton of clicks, you’re building brand awareness, and that’s invaluable.

Quick Tip For Entrecard Advertisers

Even if you’re more interested in advertising on Entrecard than you are in “power-dropping”, you’ll still want to visit PowerDropping.com on a regular basis. Why? Because all of the sites listed there feature their Entrecards in a prime above-the-fold location, and are therefore ideal blogs to advertise on!

300 Is Kind Of A Strange Number…Why Do You Have 300 Sites In Your List?

If you’ve never hit the “Entrecard Wall” then you’re probably not aware that there’s a limit as to how many Entrecards the system will let you drop in any given day. Once you reach 300, you’re done until tomorrow. So 300 seemed like the perfect number.

For You Big Time Power Droppers, Here’s Another Tip

Use Firefox, and install the “Permanent Tab” Firefox add-on.

Once that’s installed, you simply right-click on the tab that has PowerDropping.com open and select it as a “Permanent Tab”. Then whenever you click on a link on that page, it will open in a new tab without leaving the page you’re on.

With that plugin, you can use the list at PowerDropping.com to open each site in a new tab as fast as you can click on them.

Why Should You use PowerDropping.com Daily Instead Of Just Bookmarking The Sites?

The list at PowerDropping.com will be constantly updated with new and faster sites.

As of today there are almost 4,000 sites in the Entrecard network, and I’ve only gone through about half of them to make up my list. As word about PowerDropping.com spreads, more and more people will be contacting me to say that their site should be on the list, and it will only continue to improve. Not to mention that there will be sites joining and leaving the Entrecard network every day, and others will rearrange the location of their Entrecards.

For all those reasons, the list at PowerDropping.com will be in a constant state of change, and will always be the best source to find websites to spend your time dropping your cards.
