    Sponsors have two options on this messageboard when starting a contest. Attract webmasters or give away money to surfers. For some very, very odd reason they always seem to choose the 2nd option.

      No contests should be allowed that simply require you to post. They should ALL have something to do with sending sales or something.

              Id say if you give away prizes make sure they are webmaster prizes like gallery spots, partner passes and stuff like that. Not only will you attract webmasters to your contest but as a sponsor you will also benefit from it since you will get signups from those gallery spots obviously.

              But no, that doesnt make sense. Let's instead give away 1000's to underaged surfers who dont own a single site.

                I agree. I can buy my own fucking X-Box.


                They REALLY should re evaluate the contest rules.

                      You can do that with webmasters as well. There are plenty of them on gfy. I dont see why you want to rewards surfers with money.

                      I am a webmaster and unlike those surfer idiots i can send joins and traffic but you know what, i totally avoid those contests threads and usually the sponsor as well.

                        well, you're making some sense, but.... not much

                        because you say you're not going to waste time and power post in a contest so that you make post no 300 and win $50. Fair point.

                        But at the same time you suggest that contests shuld include webmaster prizes.... so would you power-post in a contest thread only to win a stupid submit pass ( probably worth also $50 or so )
                        I don't use ICQ anymore.

                          Not a stupid submit pass. But the right webmaster prize, yes i will post. Give me a spot on worldsex or the hun or 3 month submit pass to video-post stuff like that. Hell yeah, i love prizes like that, i would post.

                            Yes well a webmaster who makes $10K a month would not post in a contest thread. If you want to post 20 times a day for a chance to win $100 in gallery spot if there are even any that cheap then i will glady start a contest like that but I guarantee you it will not even hit 1000 posts.

                              Too expensie I can pay basically .10 cents a post and get the results I want. And I already pay more than any other company on the adult space so i figure I must be incentivising affilaites pretty well.

                                No real webmaster would post thousand of times in a thread (and keep it on the first page for weeks).

                                  ok yeah, I agree, webmaster prizes could be better, but they'd have to be worth something

                                  if not, personally i'd rather get $50 cash than 1 free month of some virtual hosting package worth $90, but with no real use for me
                                  I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                      GFY administration should ban these stupid "contest" threads and sell 'Sticky' instead.

                                        Well, its not like those threads HAVE to be here. Id say simply find another way to advertise your stuff. Just stop giving away money to surfers.

                                          I do contest because they work when they stop working ( Working means making me money) then I will stop contest

                                          I feel our webmasters are Already getting a crazy deal making more money with us than any other program !!

                                            For instance. Good point.

                                              You are missing the point. Lars doesn't care about peons who post in his threads. All he wants is to see his companys name at the top of the board for a few weeks.

                                                                              Any easy way to appease both sides is to either a) require x amount of valid incoming adult traffic to the program before the prize is paid, or b) require signups in the affiliate account before payment.

                                                                              Just a thought.
