Increase Web Site Traffic - Drawing Traffic With Online Giveaways

People love to be winners! Even if it is a candy bar in a church raffle, the feeling that you won something is like no other. Consider creating an Internet marketing campaign that capitalizes on this feel good approach.

The premise of the online drawing or giveaway is really quite simple. By opting in to a contest or sweepstakes, your visitor has the chance to win fabulous prizes. Some Internet marketers create offers relevant to their products or services, while choose items based on their broad appeal. Here are some ideas to get you started:

1. Offer a month’s worth of your product free.
2. A free consultation and evaluation.
3. A year’s subscription to your ezine.
4. Tickets to a sporting event.
5. Free airfare (travel agencies or other travel websites).
6. Free software – perhaps it is your software. A limited time offer for the first 1,000 visitors.
7. A year’s worth of free gas (insurance companies, auto dealers).
8. A year’s worth of free groceries (online grocery services).
9. Free phone services for a year.
10. Free DSL or other high-speed Internet connection.
11. A year’s worth of dog food (pet supply sites).
12. Free Internet domain and web hosting package.
13. Provide a donation of $1,000 to the charity of the winner’s choice.
14. A $1,000 shopping spree.
15. Your mortgage paid for a year (a financial institution).

These are just a few of the great ideas that might draw visitors to your site. In addition, keep them coming back by allowing them to enter once a day for the 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 them coming back repeatedly.
