    I wanna start a Competition on my site http://www.webcosmo.com
    Reward could possibly be 50 dollars for whoever wins.
    Any idea what type of competition it could be?

    Are you trying to gain more traffic or is there another goal?

    Main focus is to introduce the site to a greater audience. More is better.

    You can get 1,000's of visitors, but, you need some reason for them to stay. At the moment, you don't really have that. You should consider adding more features to your site so people have ore of a reason to come back.

    Once you do that... then you can do a contest.

    I'm not sure if you want my unwarranted advice... but, I think it might help.

    Best of luck

    With all respect I do disagree with you at some points you made. I do have some reasons for people to come back when they need. Its a classified site, so people will post when they are offering something. Same way people will come for searching things. In view of this point, its serving its purpose quite well.
    Currently I have about 40% returning visitors, according to Google analytics. Which is actually very good from my experience.
    I do appreciate your taking time for the comments though.
