They often leave their email in the comment, where it&#39;s vulnerable to harvest bots (and later, spam!). For more on that, see this post: http://is.gd/1k06T.<br /><br />Recent blog post: <a href="http://www.blogcoach.org/2009/06/twiveaway-review-part-2-after-giveaway.html" rel="nofollow">Twiveaway Review Part 2: After the Giveaway</a>angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-43355602435873412772009-07-01T01:10:26.000-04:002009-07-01T01:10:26.000-04:00It is a very nice twiveaway for us to participate. Thanks! In a blog giveaway, the entries are posted and can be seen immediately. In a Twiveaway, would the contestants be able to see her own and the overall number of entries?redstarfishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-13012625854863673022009-06-29T21:13:45.000-04:002009-06-29T21:13:45.000-04:00If you&#39;ve never done a giveaway? Take a look at the Twiveaway site and read the .pdf and see if you&#39;re comfortable. You should be very familiar with how Twitter works.<br /><br />I feel like the giveaway got more entries than I would have had I just run the giveaway on the blog. It definitely drove some new traffic to the blog. I generally do giveaways through the BlogCoach Community Boards rather than on the blog itself, so I can&#39;t say whether the site got better traffic that day than it would have with a &quot;normal&quot; giveaway. I think it did. <br /><br />As I say above, I feel like the new followers I gain are folks that have a good chance of visiting BlogCoach in the future via the links I post on Twitter.<br /><br />Recent blog post: <a href="http://www.blogcoach.org/2009/06/is-summer-heat-drying-up-your-traffic.html" rel="nofollow">Poll: Is the Summer Heat Drying Up Your Traffic?</a>angienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-64491032814258534802009-06-29T21:03:59.000-04:002009-06-29T21:03:59.000-04:00So, for someone who&#39;s never hosted a giveaway before (hint, hint, that&#39;s me!), would you say this is a good way to start? <br /><br />Did you feel that you lost out on entries, or are all of your readers on twitter anyway?<br /><br />Did you see as much, more, or less traffic to your blog post as you do for other giveaways? <br /><br />Thanks for your assessment of this program!<br /><br />Recent blog post: <a href="http://minnemom.com/2009/06/26/theodore-roosevelt-national-park/" rel="nofollow">Theodore Roosevelt National Park</a>Lindanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1646050951626315427.post-79739589620280009132009-06-29T15:22:18.000-04:002009-06-29T15:22:18.000-04:00First of all, I am a new reader here, and I really enjoy your site.<br /><br />Secondly, I loved how the giveaway was set up through twitter, very easy to enter.<br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />Recent blog post: <a href="http://escapetothought.blogspot.com/2009/06/musical-monday.html" rel="nofollow">Musical Monday</a>Amynoreply@blogger.com
