This one’s going to be open until 8am (EST) Friday, so you have PLENTY of time to enter, and it’s easy!
Prize Description:
Be one of the FIRST consumers to own not one, but TWO 20-inch FlatronWide L206WU USB-based monitors provided by DisplayLink!
These LG monitors are one of the first USB monitors out in the market powered by DisplayLink technology. DisplayLink believes professional bloggers and web users would really appreciate the ease and convenience of lots of screen real estate so you can spread yourself out and accomplish more and enjoy more. Because these LG monitors use USB, you simply plug the monitors into your laptop or desktop, and start blogging away!
How To Enter:
This one’s super simple… Spread the word about our little birthday celebration and just write up a post about the ProBlogger Birthday Bash and link to it. Then, come back to THIS post, and leave a comment below with the link to your blog post about the Birthday Bash, and after that link, the word “DisplayLink” (yes, it’s case sensitive, and once again is to help us choose qualifying entries as well as to help us get the valid comments out of Akismet easier).
Example comment:
http://www.yoursite.com/archives/the-post-you-wrote/
DisplayLink
And for those of you who have already linked to the competition, simply place the link where you did it in comments below THIS post like outlined above and you still qualify!
Hopefully this competition will generate a little buzz and add a little value to our sponsors by bringing attention to the competition. Don’t worry – it’s the only giveaway that we’ll ask for a link back to ProBlogger – the rest will be different.
We will once again close off comments and choose one winner at random on Friday at 8am (EST). Winner will be notified by email, and will receive their monitors in 4-6 weeks.
Please note: If you enter for this prize and are chosen as the winner, you will not be eligible to enter for any future giveaways throughout the end of the Birthday Bash (with the exception of the final giveaway on Monday that everyone will be eligible for), so please make sure that you’re either willing to risk missing out on something else or that this was “the big one” you’ve been waiting for (keep in mind that over 700 people entered the first giveaway – so you’re not guaranteed of winning anything – it might be best to enter everything you have some interest in winning). You can always enter on the other posts between now and Friday morning, however if you are chosen for one, you will not be chosen for this one or any others.
Check out the full prize list and our previous giveaways thus far, here, here, and here.
And remember to subscribe to the RSS feed if you haven’t already! Coming this Friday will be several posts that are very time sensitive!
Update
We’ve closed off new entries and the winner of the monitors is Vincent Sparreboom!
Simply awesome!
Can’t wait to get rid of my old 15″ boat anchor!
Thanks Darren!

This is a bit underhand, to say the least.
In order to enter the competition, we have to spam the blogosphere with ProBlogger ads.
Darren: How do you expect to be taken seriously when you promote this kind of thing? All these posts on people’s blogs are not because they are recommending ProBlogger – they are undermining their own credibility on the offchance they may win a prize.
In future, I think you should consider if you would be willing to use ProBlogger to enter a similar competition, before getting other people to use their blogs in this way.

Dom – thanks for the feedback. This isn’t about spamming – it’s about spreading the news of the competition and giving a little value back to our sponsors who’ve been very generous in supporting us. People are welcome to say (or not say) anything in the post. They can give me a negative review and still link up and they’ll be eligible – I don’t think this harms anyone’s credibility.
They’re also welcome to use nofollow tags if they don’t want to pass on google juice OR they are welcome not to participate.
Of the numerous giveaways that we’ll be doing this week this is the only one that requires a link back to ProBlogger. One out of 100+ prizes given away isn’t that big a deal in my mind. I know that this won’t fit with every type of blog which is why we’re only doing this on one of our competitions. If this doesn’t fit with your blog or you don’t think you could do it with credibility you are more than welcome to pass on participating and putting yourself in one of the other competitions that we’ll run in the coming days that don’t require you to post anything on your blog.
