Guide Review - Somewhere in Canada - Sweepstakes Site for Canadians
SomewhereinCanada.com has been providing information for Canadians online since 2000. Although the site has expanded since its conception to include jokes, shopping portals, freebies, a UPC database, and other information for Canadians, its first and largest area is its sweepstakes section.The sweepstakes listings are broken down into categories like "Regional," "Creative," and "Daily-Entry" to make finding the sweepstakes you want to enter easy. Icons, which include Canada, Quebec, and US flags, also show who is eligible at a glance. This is a very nice feature for quick entry.
However, when I visited the contest section recently, I've noticed quite a few things that seem out of date. An in-house contest to reward people who submit sweepstakes to the directory was still being touted, even though its expiration date passed two months before. The Top Ten Sweepstakes by Rating section had only one sweepstake in it. Ten Cool Contests had only a couple of active contests and a number of expired ones in it. Some links were broken and outdated.
SomewhereinCanada is an important resource for Canadian sweepers, and I hope that the mistakes and outdated information are only temporary, and will soon be resolved.
