Contests discussion

Submitted by tidhar on Thu, 06/26/2008 - 16:20.
Hey
I wanted to hear a bit more about making contest with prizes as a way to advance "stickyness"
This is not about giving incentive for buying a product, but contests that relate to the product being sold.
like, if i sell prducts for dogs I can so "the best looking dog" contest or something.
Legaly, anyone knows if i need to do something before i give people gifts and declare them "winners", is there a template disclaimer fot that purpose?
Is there something i need to do if the voters are surfers at home?
This seem like a nice way to promote traffic, and i wonder if anyone has experience in that field.
BTW, I'm not from the US if that's relevant to the issue.
Thanks!
