Double Prizes Launches with a Contest
Posted: October 6th, 2009 | Author: Gil | Filed under: Uncategorized | 254 Comments »Today we are officially launching Double Prizes! While new websites launch every day on the web, its not every day that we get to launch one. So we’re pretty excited. We love creating websites and we hope you’ll enjoy this one!
Double Prizes is a pretty simple web site. Its a place where you can find contests and giveaways being offered by bloggers all over the web. If you like to learn about new blogs and enter contests, we can help. If you’re a blogger running a contest and would like to generate some new interest and participation in your contest, you can add your contest to Double Prizes. And we offer this simple service for free.
Are you a blogger or a sponsor? The Double Prizes (DP) Network helps connect bloggers and companies interested in sponsoring online giveaways and contests. Our mission is to help you grow your audience by developing engaging giveaways and contests. Learn more…

One more thing: Surprise Prizes and Extra Winners
At the end of this contest, we will choose a couple more winners for some surprise prizes at the end. We will email our extra winners the same time as the grand prize winner and you will have 48 hours to respond after which we will select other winners.
Good luck!
We are super excited about this and we hope you will spread the word about DoublePrizes.com. Thank you for participating and good luck!
UPDATE: The contest is now closed and we are tabulating the results. Big time thanks to all those who participated! Look for an announcement here real soon now.

Thanks Michelle! Rock on!
Here’s my “give us your feedback about DoublePrizes.com.” comment (and entry – don’t forget that).
Love the site. I’m easily suckered into giveaways, obviously. This is a great concept, very nice work.
On to the feedback. First item: This particular giveaway was a little confusing, I’m not positive I complied to all the rules correctly. Second: Is there a link to the DP blog on the homepage? If so I couldn’t find it when I was trying to come back to enter in this giveaway. Third: I really like how clean the interface is and subtle yet noticeable the advertisements are. I hate, actually HATE blogs who’s ads are so in your face you can’t maneuver you’re way around their site.
And, that’s all. Great service from two great guys!
P.S. I love Target
P.S.S. Pick me for the giveaway.
Oh. And I Subscribed to DP RSS feed.
That’s the winning comment. Right there.
Thanks again Michelle. Great feedback and we appreciate it!

What I really like is how easy it is to submit a giveaway. One of my favorite aspects is that the giveaway is posted as soon as I submit it. One thing I’d like to see added in the future is pictures for each giveaway.

my feedback is use a program that keeps your info in the name, mail and website field – it’s alot to have to type it over and over when entering a contest like this!! Also – you logo, with the lady sitting in the chair is used quite a bit – in fact everytime I look at it I automatically think of another site. Great idea – love the concept and it’s looking great so far!!

I love the white background and bright colors! I also like that I was able to update one of my contests that was listed incorrectly. Very cool. I don’t like entering my information in every time I want to reply. I also agree with another comment that this particular image (woman in the chair) is used a LOT in the blogosphere and you might want to reconsider to have your own unique look. Overall, nice job!
Thanks for the feedback Emilie! Very kind and helpful. We’ll give that image some thought. On the reply issue, are you referring to replying on the blog here?

I like that it’s easy to add a new giveaway and that I can see it posted soon afterwards.
I wish there are more ways to sort the giveaways, i.e. by prize category. Thanks for the nice site.

My Feedback:
I like that you can view contest by the end date.
I don’t like that it seems to have a lot of doubles or repeats in the list of giveaways, or that some of the information is wrong like the end dates.
I entered the $150 gift certificate to Campus Quilt Company giveaway.

My only comment/suggestion on this site is that it would be nice if while looking through the list to find giveaways to enter, it had the name of the blog doing the giveaway right there so that I did not have to click through it to see who was doing the giveaway.
