Apparently. If they take today as the last day of the competition, Shoemoney beat John Chow by more than 2000 readers and 10% more gain. If they use Feedburner dates, we have to wait until tomorrow because FB stats are from yesterday (see my table dates).
Shoe played his card just 2 days ago because the the huge spike is visible just today (with yesterday stats, remember?). He gained almost 5000 readers in just one day. That’s a lot of readers. I wonder if he used a trick or he just added a subscription popup on one of his ringtones site.
I think I can say that both are winners. Shoe can brag about being the winner of the competition, but John learned a lot of new stuff and gained more than 50% RSS readers, which will inflate his earnings for the month.
This competition didn’t have enough rules. If the rules were to use only the blog to promote the RSS, I think John could have been the winner. John Chow is an expert in blogging while Shoemoney isn’t exploiting it as much as he could. Shoe even said he’s not an expert on that.
Anyway check the chart:
I will publish a long post on how to create this kind of charts soon. Leave a comment if you want to see it sooner.

There were a lot of people viewing this race with interest. I think the freebies they gave out certainly helped them with their promotion and final numbers.
