Is their a sweepstake script where you encourage people to promote your website and by doing this they will be enter into a sweepstakes automatically. Therefore, I want to have a script, or a software, or any other method where it can be known who is spreading the message and promoting my website. And wha they will do is, they will just be telling others about my website via email or bookmarking or through site like digg or facebook. Will a tell-a-friend script work for this or an email subscribition (however both method does not say who is promoting the website and who is not)? So please tell me how do I carry this out and what should I do! thank you in advance!
what you are talking about doing is the most classic basic affialiate solution you allow people to signup as affiliates and they get a code -- on every link they give out to people via email or whatever they tack on their affiliate code and that's how you track how many visitors are coming in through what affiliate the sweepstakes thing is just your incentive -- I wouldn't concentrate on that too hard -- as it'd be easy to pick a 'random' person from you group -- although you might want to reward someone who does the most traffic instead -- up to you of course
