Trust me just contacting someone giving them the specs on your site will work!

Heck! I sell out on a regular basis of my TLA ads and I never thought that would happen!

I’ve been thinking about holding my own contest, but I didn’t know where to start. Thanks for the tips. I’ll try to get something started. I doubt it will happen, but eh. xD

I have run several contests on the site and they all worked out well for me and the companies who’ve hosted them! So much that their pr companies come back and ask to hold several more!

Amanda,

Have you tried running contests? If so did you have good results with them?

I am going to run a blog contest eventually, just wondering if they have worked for you.

Thanks,
George
