I have a pet-related site and I need to build some backlinks and traffic so I was thinking of creating a contest. I'd love your opinion.
The contest will be either "World's loudest cat contest" or "World's strangest sounding cat contest". People can post videos of their cats on youtube that I can embed into my site. Then people can come and vote for which one they think is best. (Of course I will have to put a disclaimer that any video that looks like the cat is being abused will be disqualified).
The way I see it, I will get traffic for people competing, but I will also get people linking to me so that their friends can vote for them.
I was thinking of making the prize a $20 gift certificate to one of my affiliate merchants.
So, here's what I'd love to hear from you guys (cause you are soooooo nice in helping!):
-Do you think the contest will attract traffic?
-Do you think $20 is enough to attract people?
-Can you see any additional ways that I can milk this contest to increase my SEO, traffic, backlinks, etc?
Any help would be appreciated! And, if you have a loud/strange sounding cat you are welcome to enter once the contest is up!
