I want to have a competition on my site, I tried a competition before with a $100 payout but response was poor heres the details if your interested. Big payout competition Anyway now what I want to do is have 2 competition one competition for suggesting a competition that if I use I'll pay you $10 And another competition with a payout of $20 - the competition needs to be easily manageable and I would Ideally like it to bring traffic and links to my site. Your suggestions please
I suggest you hold a competition where people get an entry everytime they give out a link to your site. For example, by posting it on a forum signature, a forum thread, on his/her blog, etc. How you would manage this competition is to create a blog post or something and get people to leave the links to his/her blog, forums, etc in the comments. Every link that's valid = one entry. This is a good contest to hold because it's easy to manage and most importantly, you get traffic to your site. Good luck!
Thank you a good suggestion, the problem is I won't be able to control where the links are placed and could get accused of spamming
I Think Blend Contest / Design Alot of people would like to enter.. at lease 10$ for this contest Win A Domain..that will catch everyones eyes now and days people want domain so u can say that in order to win a domain people has to vote for them and they can put a link on there site and it will refferal people to ur site as well..so yeah hope i help
Hmm, if you want to get traffic to your site, I would suggest having a blog contest. Get people to write up a little something about your site. One entry = one blog. So if someone has more than one blog, they get more entries.
If i were you I would offer 100 music downloads from Itunes and tell people that to participate they must have a link to your homepage and the contest page with the anchor text of your choice 100 song downloads may cost just as much but it just seems like you are getting so much more and you can pickup itunes gift cards at walmart or online and send them to the winner then offer all of the contestants a linkback so they will be more willing to participate
hey - I see the problem here is that people are not doing things just for the money... forget that also $100 is not much to make people go crazy my current sweepstake for my master thesis (see sig link) ha $ 4500 in prizes... and despite that and about 60,000 post sig links to it, AND about $ 700 spent on those adword banners on top of DP .... most people just dont care to win those prizes and that are links for $4500 ! I would like to win them myself! but no, of about 30k users only 300 pariticpated so far... 1% is pretty poor so, better rethink WHY people should do you $!100 competition if they dontwant to win $4500!! best,christoph
