Plan: Start a contest with prizes and getting other companies/websites to give some away and of course offer some from myself. How to promote this to its full potential? If I just post it on sites with contests I feel that will not generate enough interest but maybe I am wrong. Anyone ever ran a really successful contest before please let me know what you did that worked. Obviously having a valuable prize they desire is very important.
I'm releasing a contest tonight, learn from the master Naah, have a few decent prizes and you'll get loads of interest
You could digg, stumble, and advertise it on related forums. I wrote a blog post about it (see next to avatar).
