People who do giveaways...

[MrOSX]

Hello, Just a suggestion for anyone doing giveaways...

BE CREATIVE

Can people do anything else rather than just doing Domain and Hosting giveaways, I know that this is a webmaster forum and people want domains, but there is a new domain contest every 24 hours. How about changing it up, if you were going to spend $10 on buying someone a domain, why not buy them something else worth $10, or simply do a $10 giveaway as that could be more valuable to someone. Additionally people giving away hosting? How about not give them like a $5 voucher for your hosting company? So they could put it towards something else like discount from a VPS, RDP or Dedicated?

Regards,
OSX

Well i guess domains and hosting are the most request by people.

Yeh there requested, but im sick of it. Hence why I said do a $10 giveaway, they can still buy a domain if they like, or a hosting voucher so they can buy hosting if they like.

Being we are on a web master forum it is appropriate to give away items related to web mastering.

A giveaway has to comply with site rules as well.

I dont see the point in complaining about what people are choosing to give away. There are plenty of other things besides domains being given away, i see hosting,domains,graphics work and plenty of other things being given free on here all the time.

Yeh there is other things given away you are correct, but 6 out of 10 are domain giveaways.

The giveaway / contest section was created for people that were willing to giveaway something out of goodwill.

Quite a lot of these 'giveaways' are now trials of webhosting companies who see it as an extension of their sales thread.

Some people giveaway domains that they don't need.

Well I think they can also give some cash.
