In the last article we talked about content-based contests, and carrying our discussion further from there, we will be talking about 3 click-based contests in this article.
3 Click-based contest that you may run
Tweet me contest
Twitter is known for its capability to send visitors to a website or blog. You can leverage this tool by starting a tweet me contest. Ask people to tweet a particular post on which the contest is running to get an entry into tweet me contest for the grand prize. Set a time-frame for which the contest will run and actively start talking about it.
Vote for me contest
If there is one contest that you want to run, this is it. It has elements of both content-based and click-based contests. You can ask your visitors to share some tips or a short piece on your blog, which will be open for public voting. The winner will be the one that gets maximum vote.
This is a wonderful way to get traffic as well as backlinks because people participating in this contest will make sure that many people vote on their entry, for which they will promote their entry. It means more visitors to your blog. Sweet!
Send people to me contest
In one word this could be called traffic contest, to participate in which the participants will need to send people to your blog through their websites. You can ask people to post a link to any of their websites, which their visitors will click to visit your page. The website that sends most visitors to your blog will get the prize. For this you will need to install Google analytics in your blog and monitor it for traffic sources.
With this we came to the end of this post. Though I have just listed 3 click-based contests, there are many more that you can come up with. As I see it, to reap maximum benefit from the contests, you should use a combination of both types of contests.

09 Aug 10 3 Benefits and One Drawback of Free Traffic
The word “FREE” takes our breath away, and forces us to stop doing whatever we are doing and pay attention to the item that comes before or after the word “FREE”. Free is very powerful, and so is free traffic.
Just announce that you will get guaranteed free traffic to the first person standing at your door tomorrow in the morning at 6 AM, and you will see a huge rush of people standing at your door a lot before 6 AM choking the city’s traffic, provided you have this reputation of being true to your words.
Free traffic is powerful, and people can do anything to get that, and ironically, they spend a hell lot of money on SEO (search engine optimization) to get free traffic. But, is free traffic worth the money? Let’s find out.
3 Benefits of free traffic
It is Free
Yes, it is free, and there was no point on guessing this benefit, for the topic itself spilled the beans. You do not have to pay any monthly fee or Pay-per-Click fee, CPM fee, or even Pay-per-view fee for this traffic. It is pure gold.
It is natural
Unlike traffic coming from sponsored listing on top of the search engine, free traffic is natural. People feel in charge when clicking on the organic result, for they caused the result to appear, not some advertiser by paying for the listing (sponsored one). This is reason why so many people click on the organic result in the search engine despite the fact that such listings are preceded and superseded by sponsored listing.
It is durable
You stop paying Google and it will remove your ad from the sponsored listing, but this does not happens with the organic listing that you get from Google or any other search engine. The listing stay there and traffic keep pouring.
And one drawback
It is slow
Everything is so good about free traffic, other than the speed of its delivery to a new website. If you have just registered a website, and need to go out soon with your product then organic free traffic is not your friend. Result can take 2-3 months to come by.
It is this nature of free traffic that makes it unreliable and no-so-useful for new websites. But, I would not like to discount free traffic. Instead, I will go with it, and to fill the traffic hole, in the meantime, I will use paid listing. A mix of both will take you a long way.
