You can run a contest or sweepstakes from your site provided there is no entry fee or other type of payment required for entering the contest/sweepstakes, and provided that the contest/sweepstakes conforms to your local laws and regulations. You may also have links to such contests/sweepstakes on your site.

A sweepstakes can be used for any number of reasons: to help boost circulation, to encourage completion of surveys and questionnaires, to get consumers to register their purchases, to generate sales leads, to reward loyal customers -- the list goes on and on.

We generally try not to overlap very similar contests so that they don't compete with each other for talent. Therefore we'll run them on a first-come, first-serve basis. Generally the longest waiting period is not more than one week. Most contests run within a day or two of payment receipt.

For sheer numbers, sweepstakes generally pull better than a contest. That's because of the ease of entry requirements (remember the "no consideration" element?). But maybe you want to focus your promotion on the benefits of your product by asking your customers to take a few extra steps, such as writing an essay, submitting a photograph, or sending in a recipe that uses your product.

Do you believe in life after death? We do, because it exists. When your written word continues to inspire living souls after you die, this is what we consider immortality. Such a word was written in the book Parenting For Everyone, which we, two volunteers from Kazakhstan and Alaska, read and were inspired to follow it, to disseminate it to other people, even though we never met the author of this book. That is called life after death.

This depends on a web host and a plan. Most plans will allow running scripts in languages such as Perl or PHP. Some plans will also allow you to compile program in C/C++ and run them.
