Contest people are 'real people' too. They have needs and they by products
and services. That may not be their intention when they come to a contest
site... but the idea is to get them in, expose them to your product and
hopefully close them.

As a matter of circumstance? Would that circumstance be that you are
already at the site and noticed they had a contest you would be interested
in winning. If so that really doesn't help attract new traffic... although
it's a darn good way of building a database.
