can hold competitions for your members to receive

[CM-Host]

Hi all hosts , Just a idea for you what do you all think of adding a competition to a site to win a free hosting account, as a way of driving some initial traffic to your site???..you will get enough traffice through that..u can hold competitions for your members to receive free upgrades, domain names, etc.

Just my idea

thanks

Not a bad idea, however you must be careful when running such promotions. You need to make sure you do not give away to much for free so you go bankrupt.

I was planning to run one of these and auction off a dvd player. =)

Just make sure that you do not make too big a loss, or even better, make sure u make a profit out of that. Your idea is good, but most people would visit your site out of getting freebies (the unwanted traffic) rather than purchase your stuffs ...
