Winner of a game of his choice - mickey, for his suggestion of a 'Gameaday Receipt' idea, of which many of you suggested, but mickey got their first. Well done, mickey.
Runners up prize of a DVD of his choice goes to Aliboy, for his 'Santa' idea. It's well put and a nice festive idea, so it's definitely worthy of a prize. Congrats.
Thanks to everyone for all your entries, we read them all and found them to be very useful. Peace out, and complaints to the usual address. Cheers
Ali

Explanation
This would be an extra Gameaday prize running in conjunction with the promotional campaign. Designed specifically to draw in new visitors.
The winner will be the person who makes the suggestion MOST LIKELY to draw in extra visitors. The deadline for entries is the end of October.
Tricky eh?
You may have notest the two letters of SR stand out in the word sorry.
Well most of you know places like G*eocities.com and exp*ge.com???
Well they both give out free websites but the URL consists of their name, and they put a free ad on your site. Although both give the option of an owned domain, and hosting.
SR host and sell Domains. They could do the same but the addresses could be like so:
www.zeldapro.freeola.com...or...www.zeldapro.sr.com
plus put a banner on the site. Plus people could make it online, or make it offline and then upload it to an FTP like:
ftp.freeola.com??
Now this is what made me write this in the first place before remembering the SR don't ddo this service (currently).
The banner you put on the FREE sites, could be one of the ones on this Compo listed (or your own) and that way it would be viewed from millions of websites, and the advertisements wouldn't be costing you a thing, since they are on the sites that you let people use.
