People love contests, prizes, and winning. You can use that bit
of knowledge to really bring a lot of traffic to your website.
Consider some sort of online giveaway as part of your strategy
of getting increased website traffic. Even if it is a $10 gift
certificate in a charity raffle, the feeling that you won
something is very magnetic.
The premise of the online drawing or giveaway is really
quite basic and easy to set up. By opting in to a contest or
sweepstakes, your visitor has the chance to win fabulous prizes.
Some Internet marketers like to create offers that are relevant
to their products or services, while others choose items that
are based on their wide appeal. Here are some ideas for
giveaways that you can use to increase the traffic to your
website. These ideas are certainly not the only things that can
be offered, they are merely presented to get you started:
1. Offer one or two month’s worth of your product or service.
2. A free consultation and evaluation by you personally.
3. A year’s subscription to your ezine.
4. Tickets to a professional sporting event.
5. Free airfare (this works especially well for travel agencies
or other travel related websites).
6. Free software – perhaps it is your custom software or script.
7. A year’s worth of free gas (this works very well for
insurance companies, auto dealers, but with high gas prices it
would likely be a great draw to any website).
8. A year’s worth of free groceries.
9. Free VOIP phone services for a year.
10. 6 months free DSL or other high-speed Internet connection.
11. A year’s worth of dog or cat food (this works well for pet
related sites).
12. A Free Internet domain and/or web hosting package.
13. Provide a donation of $500 to the charity of the winner’s
choice.
14. A $500 shopping spree.
15. Your mortgage paid for 6 months (this works well for
financial websites). 16. An autographed photo of a popular
celebrity (can be purchased for a reasonable price on ebay).
17. A new set of golf clubs (obviously a great draw for golfing
related sites). 18. Use your imagination! These are just a
few of the great ideas that would draw visitors to your site.
Also, in order to keep them coming back, it would be wise to
allow them to enter once a day for the entire duration of the
promotion. Contests and giveaways are a great opportunity to be
a hero and make someone a winner. They are also an excellent way
to keep website visitors them coming back repeatedly. This is a
very powerful method to get increased website traffic.
