I'm curious now. As a blog reader, are you more likely to comment if there's the possibility that you might win something? For me, I don't think it makes much of a difference, although I have won some giveaways after commenting on certain posts.
Just in case you were wondering, I have one guest appearance this week and that will be Friday, May 27 at Borders True Romance blog. I'll be talking about dedications. Am I offering a giveaway? You bet. One commenter will get a $25 AMC Theatres gift card. So come on by.

I was confused about the efficacy of giveaways until I talked to one of my writing idols. She has thousands of followers on her yahoo group, even though these loops are dwindling now. She said she holds a lot of contests. Blogs seem to have replaced the yahoo loop, so I guess that's where people are looking for contests now. Hey, if it works, and you can afford it, why not?
Thanks for the advice, Ash. Yeah, Yahoo groups definitely seem to be on the decline.
Big decline on groups, I have first hand knowledge.
I'm still ambivalent about contests. But I too appreciate that comment Ash.
I'm still ambivalent about contests too. Thanks for that feedback Ash.
I don't do giveaways much, so I don't know if they help or not, but I haven't noticed a jump in sales after I've done a giveaway.
*hugs*
