Running a Forum Competition

Posted on March 10, 2007 by Adie Forums 2 Comments

I’ve just finished a new article over at Forum Rank that goes over the benefits and pitfalls of running forum competitions.

Forum competitions are an increasingly popular way to attract visitors and incite interest in a forum, particularly if you are just getting started or simply need something to freshen up the boards. Many successful forums run regular competitions as a means to generate continued interest in the forum, incite competition between its members, or simply to provide casual visitors with a reason to register. The real beauty of running a competition is that the prize itself does not have to be particularly valuable or difficult to obtain – small cash prizes or vouchers for popular online retailers can generate huge interest and give you an excellent return for the relatively small investment. Services are also popular prizes, and if you can supply them yourself, may be a more cost effective solution depending on what you have to offer.

You can read the rest of the article here. If you enjoy it, it’s also on Digg. Let me know what you guys think of it.

    great ideas. I have some kind of forum competetions in my mind for some time, but I was never able to finish and make some shape to them. This is the final hit :) Thanks
