Hey, I recently started new site www.realwebtalk.com As a promotional offer im offering domain names for free to the people who post in my site. The ratio is fixed at 150 points for .info and 500 points for .com,.net and all. The thing is to earn points i have alloted 2 points fer thread and 1 point per post. Also referral earns 5 points and also article submission earns 5 points. I wanted to ask will this offer work out coz im seeing not much of the response to this kinda of offer. Also can ne1 suggest ne changes in this offer to make better of it. Thanx for your time. Admans.
I fear the quality of the posts will be such that they are worthless to the topic of the forum. I would not be lured to post for a domain name. Shannon
Can you suggest the alternative offer which can lure people into joining the forums and making posts. If i offer a domain for 10 articles/tutorials will it be of usefull? Thanx for the opinion btw. Regards, Admans.
yeah i think same, if you want your forum famous then you have to think about his quality,every user needs a quality forum which gives him nice knowlege. if your forum was about dating related then it was fine but your forum has nice topics so they need nice valuable post..
I don't think it's a bad idea as long as you moderate the forum well and delete all the spam/i-just-want-a-domain posts. But do you really think many people will want to make about 500 posts just to save $10? Maybe you should lower the requirements a bit...
Domains are not expensive, and if someone wants to buy one, I guess they just go and get it. Posting for several days/weeks to get a free domain name is not something I would do, for sure. Why don't you give them something else? For example free advertising on each page of the forum or something.... Just an idea.
