Power Up Your Traffic By Running A Contest:
Water for Elephants21
For sure, a lot of your customers may be looking for the type of product or service that you
offer. So, how will you attract those buyers who are not yet familiar with your site and those who
you want to have come back again?
How will you gain visitors and drive traffic to your site?
One answer is to run a contest. And not just an old contest. It must be crafted to keep them
coming back to your site. Lots of clever people will say that running a contest will help, but they
won’t give you tips on how to do it.
Benefits of holding a contest
One of the biggest benefits of running a contest is traffic. A contest can help you increase
traffic to your site. Studies show that a contest, if held during a full month, can gain 500-5000
visitors and more. So, imagine that opportunity!
Your potential consumers may even tell their friends about your site and it’s also a chance to
boost your sales.
Some affiliate programs online may also be curious of the number of visitors and page views
you have. And one way to increase this is to run a contest.
Contests also help if you plan to sell ad space on your site.

Generally, if you write a monthly or weekly newsletter, running a contest and asking those who
enter if they want to subscribe to your newsletter will usually result in about 1/3 of them signing
up.
And lastly, those who have a business but don’t have a website can also benefit from a contest.
The types and rules might be different, but running a contest would get you noticed and get
people to come to your site again and again
