I once was on a forum that did not pay for all contributors but only to the contest winner. Every week he forum organized contest, I won a couple of times

I have never organized any contest on my site, my site is basically a content website that tries to build traffic from search engines and social sites. Contest works for user generated content site.

I don’t have any now but I’ve checked many account online that keep giving people give away and the process is really helping them to boost the account

Giving freebies or rewarding users has been one of the most salable contents when managing website. If you don't give your users what they want either by rewards or quality contents, the website is going no where.

I think asking them to subscribe to newsletter for a price would be great. A typical price you can use can be affordable digital products or great e-books. I have used such method before.

Organising of occasional contents in your site or in your forum can actually gain you some kind of activity because many people will want to jump on the opportunity.

I don't know much about sites but I have learned from this forum that you can do giveaways like giving something to those that click on your site. And by referral contests.

As a website owner and blogger, I really don't use contest to bring traffic to my website. The least I do is to work on search engine optimization on my website and bring good traffic

 

[Shaffy]

I've never done any contest. But I've seen a few being done. One thing is that people love free things. When there's an offer especially an expensive one and coupled with referrals, this will bring a lot of traffic, at least in the short term

Free giveaway is usually a sure way to get both old and new customers active again. I have seen alot of persons make use of such methods and it usually works

Well, contests can be a good way to boost traffic. You may actually reward people for sharing your websites on social media. The highest sharer or the contestant with the highest fan following on social media will get the prize for sharing site. This will boost the traffic of your website.

Normally posting contest help to boost activities in the site and it is indeed something that worth hanging onto . Also referral contest helps in bringing more people to the site and in promoting engagement

I'll not say I've had contests but I've done giveaways which is more popular here in my country. Though I don't do contests because of the kind of service I'm promoting. But I'll look into it, especially referral contests, it will help grow my audience
