Just curious as to people reactions to this kind of offer.

Hecklers, basically just shows people a picture of your product in exchange
for you donating it. Kind of the exposure you would get on the Price is
Right. I am currently involved with several contests where you actually get
visits to your web site, either thru a clue being hidden on your site (as in
the Lost Dog on the Net) or via a question being asked about your web site
(as in Volition's Big Giveaway). None of these contests get 5 millions
visits per month even if you counted each time the same person came as a new
visit.

I have plenty of sponsors for our current contests, but if (when) I start
another one, I would like your input as to what marketers prefer. Do you
prefer a contest that shows a Jolt Cola t-shirt to X number of people and
says you can win it, or would you rather have 1/10th X people asked a
question about Jolt Cola and sent to the web site to find the answer?

thanks,
Ray
