    Do you companies that do contest threads think people actually give a shit?

    I haven't participated in any contest threads, I usually don't even bother reading them, not sure what real benefit you think they are doing for you

      They get attention. Lots of them, And a lot of the guys that start out in them end up moving some traffic.

          Most of the guys that start out in those threads aren't even webmasters.

                                                              Yeah, we're just getting ready to start advertising on GFY this month and that is one of the benefits of advertising...

                                                              I'm feeling bad about the contest, but of coarse we want the affiliate exposure and I have heard that it brings them in.

                                                              Sorry in advance.

They didn't start advertising on GFY til many months later.

                                                                                                              If your shit converts, affiliates will want to promote it. Bombarding GFY with the same old generic ads won't get you that far...

So sure, it gets views... from people who sign up in hopes that they win that 50 spot for $120 instead of trying to make enough sales to get that payout.

It has to do with keeping the company name towards the top of the thread list on the main page. They could give a crap if the thread gets 1000 or 100,000 views. That's why the entire post is summed up in the title..

The point of the contest is not to reward affiliates, its to keep the message in front of the real webmasters for a week straight.

It has to do with keeping the company name towards the top of the thread list on the main page. They could give a crap if the thread gets 1000 or 100,000 views. That's why the entire post is summed up in the title..

Just because companies do similar marketing campaigns doesnt mean they are playing one expensive game of keeping up with the Jones'. It also could mean....drum roll please...it WORKS!!

                                                                                                                                                          Not to hard to figure out. For a few hundred or small 4 figures they keep their name and new site/promo in the top half of the top industry board for over a week straight. I wouldnt be surprised if it had a higher ROI then the banner ads. But let me guess those companies doing banner ads are just sheep as well right?

                                                                                                                                                          We'll just play it your way...all companies that start a thread contest are just doing so to keep up with a competing company (repeatedly) and they are worthless because all webmasters have some obscure program installed so they dont view the promo thread in question. You go with that.
