Membership drive idea

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I have a pair of tix (not great seats) to see the Cubs vs Astros on Sept 25. The seats are section 529, row 5. I was hoping the wife would make a late season trip to the game, but she nixed the idea. I'm willing to offer them up as a prize for the site. I know it isn't much, but it could be some form of incentive.

 

I was wondering if increased traffic might lead to increased ad revenue...I don't know, so someone correct me if my assumption is wrong.

 

What I had in mind was maybe a referral contest. A person receives a point for every person that they refer to the site that registers. At the end of a specified period of time, the person with the most registered referrals wins the tix. I know this will likely only appeal to those in and around the Chicago area, but they are also the ones most likely to win since they'll know more Cub fans.

 

Just a thought.

Is there a way that the drive could be supervised to make sure that people do not set up bogus accounts in an effort to land some stuff?

Wouldn't Tim's ability to check IP addresses help with that?

If you made it for premium membership referrals, it wouldn't matter. :)
