I think this thread is COMPLETELY off-topic for this forum.
It reeks of advertising your blog, and nothing else.

I'm sorry if that's how you feel, I thought I was helping out the community by providing legit access to paid apps and games, which might other wise be stolen. From there people who like the apps will spread word to their friends, generating much more income in theory.
Why don't hold the giveaway here on xda? Seems like you want to generate traffic to your blog and harvest email addresses. You didn't even describe how winners are selected.
I only require emails to contact them if they've won. I don't use the emails for anything else.
Winners are selected at random, I posted that in the initial giveaway and forgot to put it in the second. I use random.org to generate a winner.
As for posting this on XDA, I use the blog because I don't always have apps to giveaway, so in the meantime I update it with other articles. This takes some time and energy on my part as well, corresponding with dozens of developers trying to work out some deal, so yes I do hope it generates traffic.
Your not actually giving them away,people need to win them..the title is misleading.
No, the apps are being given away, there are just limited copies available so it's only fair that the winner is choosen randomly.
I hope this falls inside the rules for this section.
I now have yet another reason to be jealous of iPhone users. This does not often happen, but at times it still does. Cinemagram, is an app for building cinemagraphs right on your phone. Here is a tumbler feed with supposed examples of what the app can create. http://cinemagram.tumblr.com/
I contacted the developers of this app, Factyle Inc, and did my best bit of groveling for an Android version. It seems I wont need to be jealous for too long. Here is the reply I received back in a matter of minutes.
"LOL!!!
We'll get there soon "
If you want this on Android as much as I do, please email the devs and let them know there is an audience for this app on Android.
I dont want to post up their email, so take a look at the bottom of their site for their email link. http://cinemagr.am/
Great idea ...
171 views, but has anyone actually sent them an email?
we have many developers on here and cinemagram has a posting on there site looking for android developers. http://cinemagr.am/home/jobs
Is there is any way to chat online on xda for problems
25 views but no reply
Whats happening:what:
That's because, there is a facebook group about our phone, but mostly because that's a forum, not skype. Idea is not to chat, idea is to bring something useful, not to talk about "how are you" or "what are you doing today". About problems(if you are talking about forum problems, there is a thread for that), there are a lot of subforums where you can get and give info, also search engine is pretty much close to perfect, so there is no need to chat. It's as simple as that.
Hey guys @short_sam here,
So for a while now I've realized that your devices don't get the features explained that you would benefit from. So I would like to propose a video series where I explain these 'features' or innovations that make things easier for you. If you would like to me to feature your Rom, Bootloader, Recovery, or even news in my video shoot me a pm, a tweet, a Facebook message, or G+ hangout. My twitter name is short_sam, my G+ is +Sam Short, my facebook username is samshort13, my email is [email protected]. What will happen basically, is you will send me a video request and I will try my best to cover it in the video. I hope to bring to light what all of you amazing developers have been working on. You guys honestly have saved me a lot of trouble when it comes to support for my phones. I look forward to working with you all! The op will be updated as new videos are added.
-Thanks fellow xda members!
