Would you rather have CASH or PRIZES?
If it's Prizes, what would you like?

Prizes like trips and stuff are best, if I get money I rarely blow it on something fun -
I don't really buy into this stuff with contests and shit. If someone has to get recognized that much then they must not be worth promoting.
Well I suppose thats not always the case. But look at some of the big sponsors. They don't chuck Xboxes at people and money unless they make the sales!Comment

One time cash/prizes don't really do it for me but an increased pay rate gives me wood.Comment

CASHComment

Thanks guys, please give more feedback.
Here's what I'm getting so far
Increased conversions are better than prizes
"Fun" prizes and trips
Increased PAYOUT at certain conversion levels or as a prizeComment
-
Cash, gives you the freedom to buy those prizes.Comment

If I want something I'll just buy it... the only thing that determines where I send my traffic is who sends me the most money. I would MUCH rather just have more money than any prizes/ rewards points etc.

if I get cash, I wont buy myself something nice, I will just use it to pay for bills and such
therefore it doesnt have the same effect on me as prizes such as a laptop or a trip to europe

Contests will not get you long term webmasters.. only your program can do that

I'd say most people would take cash but you should tie it to either a sales goal or a referral goal (of other webmasters).Comment

I don't usually like contests because they usually give the prizes to top affiliates or to the ones that send the most traffic. Those people can buy their own X-Box or trip to Maui or whatever.

I don't ever sign up for cash and prizes...I tend to stick with sponsors that I have been working with.
I have more loyalty in business relationships i guess.
BUT...I do need an xbox or ps2

$5...it sounds like you should offer fun prizes, but also give a backup...if the person doesn't want the prize, give the them cash value instead...
I would want the prize, because if I got the cash, I wouldnt buy something fun...I'd waste it on bills

I would take a modded XBOX and 100 games (cracked is okay)

Yup. There's no real logic in getting new webmasters to promote a program if that's the case.Originally posted by tootie

Yes, but a contest might give you a chance to see/trial a program that under other circumstances you wouldn't try. This can benefit both the program owner and the affiliate if it converts well with their traffic.Comment

cash is preferedComment

Cash or maybe travel.Comment

How about travel to Tahiti or some exotic locale?Comment

Maybe a contest that has 2 levels. one that pays for exceptional performance and another just for a lucky webmaster that signs up.Comment

A Prize gives more of a psychological feel that you've achieved something... so I'll vote PRIZES on your question.Comment
