Connected Internet $100 Birthday Giveaway
As it’s my Connected Internet’s birthday today I’ve decided to do a special birthday giveaway. Last month my regular readers will have noticed that I published my site earnings for the first time. I will be doing the same this month and all you have to do to win $100 is to guess how much I will make through blogging in March in dollars.
You can guess as many times as you like, but the closest guess will win $100 in Amazon vouchers. Simple. Good luck to everyone.
Update: Please enter a guess to reduce the chances of Melvyn winning who’s created a whole new problem for my spam filters to deal with!

If you earned this guess you could afford a better spam filter (one that allows visitors to follow your advice of “feel free to post 3000 entries” without getting flagged):
$5,439

Just found an interesting pricing error on Amazon. Turns out that this $100 wouldn’t buy me Doctor Zhivago on DVD:

Ouch! Man, you’re taking this hard. Wasn’t I (a) the first commenter and (b) the guy that pointed out that allowing “as many entries as you like” was a sure fire way of inviting this kind of response?
Furthermore, in my first post (which isn’t showing right now - did you delete it to make me look bad?) I said that I’d limit myself to a few entries and you immediately replied with “feel free to post 3000 entries”.
It really feels like you’re trying to have your cake and eat it.
$5,123
