About 10 years ago, when I created my first website, I found that adding a free contest giveaway, would get me a good amount of traffic. Whether or not it got me targeted traffic is another question, but I did get a few jobs from traffic that came for me free baby plaque or step stool. As google changed the way it ranked blogs, and free stuff sites became less prevalent on the web, this marketing technique became less popular.
Today I stumbled across this post with made me immediately put contests on my blogs. Whether or not the contest traffic brings someone who will complete a sale with me, there is a good chance that they will click on one of the ads on my page... Read the post. Giveaway something. Get traffic. You might like it.

Your Yahoo Profile as a Business Tool
When is the last time you updated your Yahoo Profile?
Was it around 1995? No way, where did the time go?!?
Chances are, your details have changed!
You may use Yahoo for email, or you may have a Yahoo username for Yahoo Groups.
Your Yahoo Profile can be a useful sales tool for your business. Did you know that you can have as many as four website links in your Yahoo Profile? Why not also use your Yahoo Profile to tell people a little bit about yourself and your business? Get your business link in there!
There is the concern about privacy, if you use your Yahoo ID to go to Yahoo Chat, then I would recommend a more detail-hidden Yahoo ID and Profile, but for business networking groups, I would definitely keep my Yahoo Profile filled out and up-to-date. If you don't want to post a photo of yourself, remember that you could instead post a photo of your product.
