    I hear contests are a good way to promote your site? I've been up for 2 months now, and I average about 300 visitors a day, but I don't think that's enough to get the word out to. How do you promote a contest?

    If you have a blog that you are running a contest for, one of the best places to seriously promote your contest would be at:

    ContestBlogger

    This guy will draw some serious attention to your contest!

    If you have a website you are running the contest for, I'm not sure about where to promote it...hope this helps though!

    Make catchy captions and try offering non-monetary incentives to winners, certain special privileges and stuff.

    Alright, I set up my contest and emailed Contest Blogger about it. The contest is to photoshop a picture of Michael Vick and Cho Seung Hui together.
