ThatForumSite.com topic popularity competition - cash prizes

Unread postby ThatForumSite » Wed May 23, 2012 10:18 am

We have decided to launch a new competition on ThatForumSite.com which has a slight twist compared to others that we have run. We want to see how creative you can be and how popular what you have to say is, no matter how controversial it may be. As such we will be running a topic popularity competition which will be ongoing.

We want you to try and get your post in to the top 10 most viewed topic on ThatForumSite and as a reward we will give you £100 cash. At the time of writing the tenth most popular topic has had 2944 views. You can see the top 10 viewed topics on the relevant Statistics page.

The topic can be in any of the main categories and on any subject, as a bit of advise, to increase views you can share your topic on social networking sites with the easy to follow links under each topic posted as well as telling all your friends and family to come and have a look. Generally the more posts on a topic, the more views it will get too so ask your friends and family to join in and respond to your topic.

As well as the standard ThatForumSite.com Rules the following rules apply to this competition:

  • You must be the original poster and topic starter to qualify for the prize of £100
  • You must notify an administrator as soon as you see your topic in the top 10 views on the statistics page
  • You must do a screen capture of this as proof to send to an admin should this be required (We will of course be keeping an eye on it anyway but this is required just in case we miss it

This competition will continue to run until further notice so if you are one of the first to get in to the top 10 it is easy money and will become harder as time goes on so good luck and i hope you are first to the finishing post!

Great competition, I will be giving it a go certainly. What's to stop one refreshing the page a few thousand times? Who would do that though and have the time to do that....

Ok, so do you have any hints and tips on how to get my topics get more views? Turns out refreshing the page is boring and I want to win this fair and square.

Quick question too, can you win more than once (with different topics of course)?

I did think that refreshing the page may get a little tedious and there's no sense of achievement doing it this way really is there.

You can win as many times as you like, you will only win the cash once with each topic though so if your topic drops out of the top 10 and then gets back in to it at a later stage you will not win a second time. You can win with more than one topic though.

My advice to getting topics more views is to share them on social media, twitter and facebook for example (easily done using the "share on" links under the first post of each topic). Do this more than once too, ensure you use relevant tags on the topic and a brief summary. Ask you friends to join ThatForumSite and post replies so you have something to respond to.

Choose a topic which has scope to provoke a discussion rather than asking a closed question. Keep the topic alive, if someone responds and almost closes the topic, try and revamp the discussion.

BRILLIANT! Hmm... what could I do with an extra £100 from here and £50 from there?

(Walks off scratching head, muttering, plotting and planning. ;) )

PS - That's 2 posts towards the 50 in July. :mrgreen:

Haha, you sound so confident! At the time of writing you need to get over 3824 views on a topic you've started, it almost sounds like you have a battle plan for this.....?!

Not a bad idea at all, think you might be on to a winner there! Don't forget to take a screenshot if you do see it enter the top 10 in case it isn't when we check it and good luck :)

Takes a while to formulate a winning strategt but being skint often helps move things along... 3/50 and now off to see what I started that I can now try and get folks to read (and enjoy). 8-)

And join up to reply....! :D :D

Sharing on social networking and a couple of back links seems to do the trick. Gonna start getting trickier as time goes on though, if anyone can get in that top 10 I'm sure you can Frugaldom!

Thanks for the vote of confidence! :D I'd certainly like to think that people are interested in their own financial well-being so they can afford to live the lives they want to lead. It's either that or I'll spend every day chatting to myself - saves me going elsewhere and spending money. :lol:

Looks like the Frugaldom Arms has hit 198 views now, a couple of shares on twitter and the like might give you a boost.... ;)
