Your advertiser teaser is basically a text and would be like creating an ad for AdWords. Good title and a short effective description. Yes that’s correct.

And that teaser goes into the message text area of the submission form? The url to the landing page goes in the web page text field of the submission form?

A "landing page" is just a page that convinces someone to take action. The action could be anything... like buying a product, downloading an ebook, or even subscribing to your rss feed. It's really just a fancy name for a sales page. So, as an example for your blog, you could create a new page that convinces people to subscribe to your feed. Sell your site's feed to them. Give them the benefits of being a subscriber... explain how your site can make their life better. :grin: I hope that helps. I admit that this contest is more involved than most but I wanted to make sure I mentioned it here for those who might be interested and don't visit Copyblogger regularly. Hi Phil and Roberta,

I'm not really sure what's involved in making a landing page, either. I've just gotten my blog to look the way I want it to (for now --women are fickle, ya know), but I don't like the idea of having to change it. But, 10k is a whole heck of a lot of money....

That doesn't mean I have to change my blog's home page, does it? I'm not clear on what a landing page is.
