Who Wants Free $$$??

[just-4-teens]

Im just working on a site that gives away free $$ on a monthly basis.


Would you like to WIN FREE MONEY?

How does it work?

Pocketfund gives away $0.25 per correct answer recieved, then out of the correct answers we choose a winner that wins the free money, if for e.g. 100 people submit a correct answer then the winner will get $25 in absolutely free money.

It"s a fun effortless way to get a little extra money for a movie, a meal, some booze, whatever!

* If you are unsure about the answer to the question use google to search for the answers.
* Every month, a new multiple choice question is posted.
* You have to search for an answer to the question, and click the answer to the right question, this will prompt you to send an email to the unique e-mail address for each option.
* Please use the email address that is registered with paypal, if you fail to use the email that is registered to your paypal account you will not recieve any winnings.
* To prevent cheats from clicking every option, anyone who sends an email to every option get"s disqualified.
* Winners will be paid via PayPal, if you do not have a PayPal account, create one today, They are FREE!


I aint gonna give away the URL just yet, but how many would use this? NO its not a scam and NO your email will not be sold to anyone for any reason (only used to contact you if you win)

I'm assuming you'd have adsense for search on the page, I'd be very careful as they may look upon it as asking for clicks. Other than that, sounds like a good idea.

Is this for a website review?

[just-4-teens]

well yes and no, if i had posted it anywhere else it would of been moved here anyways (dont pretend it wouldnt ;))

and yes it will be just seeing what peoples views are and stuff.

the ads that are displayed on the page are normal adsense ads, no where on the site will/does it say "supported by ads" or "the ads make this happen" or "support us by click here" etc

also ill add this, the ads are well away from the clickable questions, so cant be hit by accident - the questions are labelled clearly with Questions, and ads are clearly labelled ads.


also im doing this site for fun, its funded by my other projects, everyone does something wacky sometimes and this is my way of being wacky and having some fun.

The adsense ads should be fine, my concern would be if you had the google search box as well.

You should be fine then, good luck.

what happens if all of us here at DP start answering your questions? you should put a max on the pay out :) don't go bankrupt by this site ..

but to answer your question: I like sites like you propose (post url please when ready) so I probably might answer a question or two, just for fun. And if I win, beer's on me!

good luck with your new idea!

[just-4-teens]

thanks, i probally will put a max on it at some point (like $50 or something) i might also add some interaction in there like a forum, so that it keeps some of the visiters and keeps them returning, maybe do a promotion for forum members, if a forum member wins the quiz they get an extra $10 or something :)

[just-4-teens]

ok all the site is ready to be torn apart by your eagle eyes :)

money is NEVER EVER free

[just-4-teens]

money is NEVER EVER free

im afraid it is, it might not be costing me anything (since its funded by other things) but for the winner it is free.

[just-4-teens]

come on guys/gurls, someone must have something to say

[Googles76]

I think it looks good. And looks like from what I seen, the google ads are well targetted for the type of people who will visit this site, ie:Fill out servery - Win $1000

Good luck!

I'd sure like to know how many people got it wrong;)

as suprising as it might sound (and considering it was a fairly easy question) 4 people thought D was the correct answer.

You should make it use a form and a database that shows there E-Mail address and answer, instead of geting bombed with E-mail!!!

how i do that?

[Nintendo]

I use


#!/usr/bin/perl

$database = "/home/virtual/site6/fst/var/www/html/win/database.txt";

# Get the input
read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});

# Split the name-value pairs
@pairs = split(/&/, $buffer);

foreach $pair (@pairs) {
($name, $value) = split(/=/, $pair);

$value =~ tr/+/ /;
$value =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$FORM{$name} = $value;
}

if ($database ne '') {
open (DATABASE,">>$database");
print DATABASE "$FORM{'E-Mail'}-$FORM{'guess'}\n";
close(DATABASE);
}

if ($FORM{'url'} eq 'mailto:' || $FORM{'url'} !~ /^(f|ht)tp:\/\/\w+\.\w+/) {
&no_email;
}

sub no_email {
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
print <<EOM;
<title>Thanks for entering the contest.</title>
<BODY bgcolor="ffffff" TEXT="000000" link="red" vlink="blue">
<H1>Thanks for entering the contest!!</H1></center>

PAGE THAT SHOWS UP AFTER ENTERING!!!

EOM
}


$database is where the text file is.

print DATABASE "$FORM{'E-Mail'}-$FORM{'guess'}\n";

is what shows up in the text file.

At the end you enter the HTML that shows up.

<FORM METHOD=POST ACTION="http://www.public-domain-content.com/cgi-bin/contest.cgi">Your E-Mail address: <INPUT TYPE="TEXT" NAME="E-Mail" SIZE=60,1 MAXLENGTH=60><BR>
<p>
<input type=radio name="guess" value="Game Cube">Game Cube
<input type=radio name="guess" value="Game Boy Advance">Game Boy Advance
<input type=radio name="guess" value="Nintendo 64">Nintendo 64
<input type=radio name="guess" value="Nintendo DS">Nintendo DS
<P>
<INPUT TYPE="SUBMIT" VALUE="Enter the contest"></FORM>

for an example of the form.

i have also added a forum where the contest will now take place.
