@ArtByLetters:
You’re absolutely right, the contest was a marketing promotion I did to generate more traffic and subscribers to this blog (which after all, is a blog that talks about internet marketing and advertising). But I don’t think anyone who entered thought otherwise.
The “choices” were by Microsoft Excel and none of the winners are associated with me or my blog in any way or form. They are all regular subscribers who got lucky in the drawing.
Cheers!
