    Hey all,

    My website is being redesigned and to mark that I will be having a massive contest to try and drive traffic. Anyways, I already have about 1000-1500 worth of prizes (mainly my own stuff) but would like to get some more, if possible... from sponsors, as I don't have the funds. Anyone have any idea where I can go?

    Also, anyone want to sponsor a prize? It can be anything, no matter how big or small :p

    There is a hyphen between widget (and) bucks, which if you click goes to his referral link. Pretty smart actually :)

    Find some good websites in your niche (mostly product based) and ask them if they can sponsor your contest.

    The contest I'll be running is mainly to drive traffic, based on the 'point' system- 10 points if you post about the contest on your blog, 5 points if you subscribe to the RSS feed and a point for every contest.

    I have around $1500 worth of prizes, about 90% my own. I'd like to find more sponsored prizes, because I feel this could go viral, and it would benefit those who would- I've contacted the big names like John Chow/Cow, Shoemoney etc and if they plug it, it will have a lot of interest.

    All those who sponsor prizes will get a short review, now I already get 150-200 uniques a day and will be buying a Digg Front Page soon, so it could prove as beneficial to the subscribers as it is to me. The problem is I have no idea where to find them :(

    I can sponsor two micro investments at WordHugger.com ($120 value).

    "WordHugger is a website about micro investments. Investors can pick a word based on their hobby, business, interests, or expertise in a particular field. For a one time investment of $60, you own a page on the site for 10 years, and earn money from advertising or selling your word(s)."

    would be a simple description. If you are interested, pm me.
