Calling All Businesses!

Have you ever wanted to offer a sweepstakes to your customers? Would you like to increase your link popularity and generate interest in your products? The Sweepstakes Wire is offering businesses the opportunity to partner with us on a sweepstakes or contest. It is simple, you offer your products as prizes in the sweepstakes, we build, host and promote the sweepstakes. Both logos appear at the top of the sweepstakes and the sweepstakes links to both sites. What is really amazing is that this offer is absolutely FREE*. Click here to find out how you can become a prize partner!

Your sweepstakes will be a mini-portal to your site. We will help you build an optin database, increase traffic to your site and provide the tools to allow players the ability to earn additional entries as they spread your marketing message with our viral marketing component - the "tell-a-friend" feature. Click here to see a sample email.

Member's Only! What's Going On?

You will see a few changes during this and the next coming months while we change our format a little to more clearly separate our newsletter from our website. The newsletter will remain monthly and will continue to feature our sponsor's sweepstakes as well as news about our winners and other community news. Beginning with the March 2003 edition, the newsletter will be sent in HTML format. This decision was made based on the prelimary results of our recent survey as it appears to be the preference of the majority of our members. You can still get your vote in as well as an entry to win a cute little bear in The Lotsa Luck Sweepstakes. Hurry! The sweepstakes ends on March 5th!

When someone queries a major search engine using a keyword related to your site's products or services, does your page appear in the top 10 matches or is it your competition? If you're listed, but not within the first 10 to 30 matches, you lose, no matter how many engines you submitted your site to. Ranking well on the major search engines is the real key to bringing free, targeted traffic to your Web site.

WebPosition Gold is the first and only product to combine all the following features designed to launch your Web site to the top of the search results.

The Sweepstakes Wire uses WebPosition Gold to improve its rankings within the major search engines. Why don't you try a 30-day free trial version of WebPosition Gold today?
