Geech - people are CRAZY!!!!<br /><br />I never win either. I am convenced that people say they use that random number thing but really pick their favorite blogger - like a popularity contest - and apparently I'm not popular. If my theory is true and you host - I expect to win!!! haha!!!

It's so exciting to click on a blog and see your name there!<br /><br />I want to host a giveaway when my blogoversary comes along but I just don't know what I'd want to give away!<br /><br />No company has ever asked me to host a giveaway but I do know a company asked a good friend of mine to host one on her blog and it got so out of control. She gained a lot of followers, but only because of the giveaway and she hated it. So I'd probably just do a giveaway on my own, unless the product is so good I want to give it away and deal with all the crap.Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382023527723960962.post-6444997968337610082010-04-14T13:15:00.014-05:002010-04-14T13:15:00.014-05:00Who doesn't like to win stuff?

There are plenty of companies out there that are willing to do giveaways since it give them advertising.<br /><br />I always write the names on paper and have my husband draw. That way I have photo proof of the winner!!Chelseahttp://rootsandrings.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382023527723960962.post-25578338117126766122010-04-14T08:54:24.761-05:002010-04-14T08:54:24.761-05:00I've hosted a giveaway, and I have to admit, I...I've hosted a giveaway, and I have to admit, I was a slacker getting the prize out to the poor girl, and finally sent it to her about 2 months later. That being said, I have won 3 giveaways and I've actually received the prize from 1. And that was a 3rd party company who actually sent it out. Both of the other prizes that I won from bloggers (one was an Easter basket LAST year and one was thank you cards) I never received.<br /><br />I don't think there's an easy way to go about tallying the entries unless you just get out a piece of paper and number them, then use the random # generator. Or you can just write all the names on pieces of paper and draw them out of a hat. <br /><br />Just watch out for giveaway stalkers, who will undoubtedly find your blog by searching for a giveaway and join just for that reason. I had a girl follow my blog, and when I viewed her blog it was ONLY about giveaways she was trying to win. She actually won with the random generator, but I chose someone else who actually HAD a blog and didn't just join to win!Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13686565812112185860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382023527723960962.post-28090663369138847442010-04-14T08:31:57.970-05:002010-04-14T08:31:57.970-05:00Suprisingly, I have never hosted one, but have won...Suprisingly, I have never hosted one, but have won several blog giveaways. The Mrs. has become suspicious of all the prizes arising and is still waiting for a bill.<br /><br />I think you can choose a reason that makes sense to you.
