$500 Getaways Contest
The $500 Getaway Contest is a contest I have decided to put together as a way to share regional travel expertise among all members of the traveling community.
Unfortunately, most people have to balance their passion for travel with other responsibilities like work and family life. This means that extended long-term travel just isn’t much of an option, and that they must make due with the 2-4 weeks of vacation they are allotted each year to appease the voracious “travel bug”.
That is why I have decided to put together this contest, as a way for experts around the globe to share their destination specific knowledge with short-term travelers looking for interesting and inexpensive, short-term getaways.
Prize:
The winner of the contest will be awarded $500 USD, in the hopes they will use that money to take advantage of one of the $500 Getaways (however it is up to them what they actually use the money for.
Payment will be made through Paypal.com
Other benefits:
Aside from the $500 prize to the eventual winner, this contest is a good opportunity for travel bloggers, tour operators, and other travel enthusiasts to show off their favorite corners of the globe. Related links to personal blogs and websites are encouraged, and will likely yield high amounts of traffic.
Upon completion of the contest, all travelers will have an extensive list of exciting and inexpensive “getaways” that they can reference to plan upcoming vacations and world trips.
How to Enter:
A contest entry involves writing up a short description of an interesting “getaway” to anywhere in the world that costs under $500 (NOT including airfare). The getaway must be for a minimum of 5 days, and cannot include any inappropriate, illegal, or unethical activities (I’m talking about really bad stuff. Gambling, cock-fights, etc. are fine with me).
The description must include the following (Example Submission):
- Original Title
- Destination
- Time
- Cost not including airfare (must be under $500 USD)
- Total cost including sample airfare from New York, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Sydney (please use dates from June 2008 for sample airfares)
- Short Description (max. 100 words)
- Daily Itinerary (including cost break-down for each day)
- Any extra or important information you want to include.
- Optional but recommended: 1 original or properly referenced photo related to the “getaway”.
- Optional but recommended: Links to any related content on the web. These can be back to your site or blog, or anywhere else related to the “getaway”.
***Please send all contest entries to GoBudgetTravelGetaways@gmail.com

How to win:
Once your entry has been received I will post it to GoBudgetTravel.com on the page $500 Getaways.
From that point on, visitors to the site will be able to vote for their favorite “getaways”. The entry that accrues the most votes by October 31 at 5pm EDT will win the contest.
In the event of a tie, top entries will be entered into a drawing, and the ultimate winner will be chosen at random.
This contest will last a little under 6 weeks, so there is plenty of time to get your submissions entered. However, due to the nature of the contest, the first submissions will have the longest period of time to accrue votes giving them a better chance of winning. So, don’t wait too long before submitting.

These overlooked issues are generally our prime bases when choosing a specific game. What we think are better for us or things which will look good with us are the stuff we usually get ourselves associated with. And as for car games, the types we play are reflections of what we are and what like and love.
If you are a tourist visiting New York City, you can stay in Secaucus, New Jersey, a town right across the Hudson River. If you are not looking forward to spending a great amount of money on a hotel room, Secaucus has plenty hotels you can stay at with reasonable prices.
If you are a tourist visiting NYC and would like to visit some place else, come to the Meadowlands! There are many restaurants (Chili’s, Outback Steak House, Red Lobster, etc.), entertainment (Medieval Times Dinner Tournament, Giant Stadium, Izod Center, Chuck E. Cheese, etc.) shopping areas (The Plaza at Harmon Meadow, Harmon Cove Outlet Center, etc.) and much more.

I don’t engage in any on the bogus search engine submissions, nevertheless.. . For PPC, I charge exactly the same fee for setup, along with a monthly fee equal to 20% from the PPC spending . . Blog setup and promotion are also billed at the $150/hour price.
How can I add a byline to the beginning of my blog posts?
Lady Gaga cried for a week or so the minute she found how well her current album ended up selling. The singer was not able to keep her inner thoughts in check because she was so overcome due to the strong reaction to her LP ‘Born This Way’ once it was unveiled last month.
I want to start my own blog: are there such thing as blogs that are totally “open”, and anybody can view it? I keep coming to the kind where you have to add other “friends” to use the site. . Links appreciated. Thanks!.
I get your drift on where you were going there. I often think of my past and use it as a means to analyze where I am and where I want to get to. Where I struggel is balancing it all out. How do you guys balance things out?
Hey man I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write something worth reading . I am all over the internet and I see so much pointless content that is just created for the sake of putting something new on their site . It takes devotion to make good stuff, thanks for caring.
Did they release another update to the way google ranks websites? Ive noticed over the past few days some websites seem to bounce from ranks one to page two etc. This high rate of fluctuation makes me wonder what bases determine a websites’s rankings and whether changes in the results are determined by changes made in Google’s system or within the websites itself. If I had to guess, I believe this determination is based on a combination of changes both within Google and persistent tweaking of a website that could keep it balanced somewhere on page one.
