I personally think it will be auctioned for <em>One Million South African Rand</em>.</p> <p>I think it is fun that bidorbuy is trying to use viral marketing to attract more traffic. But, when I see that they are offering (a chance to win) a prize of <em><strong>Three Hundred South African Rands</strong></em> to generate 'buzz' around an auction for a car valued at <abbr title="R124,617.70">One Hundred and Twenty Four Thousand, Six Hundred and Seventeen Rand (and Seventy cents)</abbr> I get a bit indignant. Seriously? You are offering ONE blogger a prize of R300, and expect buzz to follow? THREE HUNDRED RAND?</p> <p>So, to every one of my readers, far and wide as you may be, please enter this ALLURING competition to win THREE HUNDRED RAND for <a href="http://www.imod.co.za">pimping your blog out to the lowest bidder</a>.</p> http://www.whijo.net/blog/brad/2008/10/29/zomg-bidorbuy-iz-offer-r300-ma-blogs.html#comments bidorbuy marketing viral marketing Wed, 29 Oct 2008 14:55:30 +0200 brad 456 at http://www.whijo.net
