1) Flood the search engines with adverts for 'free £30 Amazon voucher' for any search. Even fish.

2) Send people round the streets with big billboards on them saying 'the end of the world is nigh...but you could win £30 of vouchers with Freeola Chat'

3) Put up billboard posters on every bus stop in the country while no-one is looking.

4) Give out T-shirts to current members saying 'CHAT.FREEOLA.COM FREE £30 VOUCHER' in big letters and order them to wear it at least once a week. (those who wear it every day will get a free deodorant spray)

5) Create a furry mascot advertising the site and do a deal with McDonalds to give it away in a Happy Meal.

6) Hire a zepplin and write 'FREEOLA CHAT WIN A £30 VOUCHER' on it, then fly it around the UK.

7) Phone in to Radio 1 and local radio stations to enter every competition, then blurt out the website live on the radio.

8) Hire a streaker to run across various sporting events with the website tattooed on them somewhere on their body.

I have a great idea :D, it came to me in a dream. A secret forum that you can only view after posting a certain number of posts each month, like 100. We can use it to talk about Sleepy and hippyman ;)

So yeah another secret forum just like the new Mods Only Forum we have at the moment, that the normal regulars don't know about... oops ;D

Round here they have people carrying these for sale type signs advertising shops etc, maybe that would be better? :D

You've underestimated doing round where I live - it's more like £15M and 750 years.

THEY RUN 5 MINUTES BEHIND LIVE SO THAT THEY CAN CUT THIS TYPE OF THING OUT, AND WE DON'T KNOW THE ANSWERS TO THE COMPETITIONS.

GOOD IDEA. THERE MIGHT BE A PROBLEM WITH THE POLICE THOUGH. ESPECIALLY USEFUL FOR PROMOTING OUR NEW PARENTAL CONTROL SOFTWARE WHEN WE LAUNCH IT.

I think you'll find this is due to Freeola tightening up their sign-up process, which stops the spammers from being able to post so easily.

It's a testament to the forum's unpopularity in that there hasn't been one of those 'Get Rich Quick' spam threads in a while.

The only problem with the t-shirt idea is that it would have to have to look good enough to wear and not just to chuck in a draw.

Maybe if it was introduced, have a prize once a month for the best photo of someone wearing the t-shirt in public, this would encourage some people at least to wear it out and about.

Heres my suggestion:

Runs on the same lines of pb's suggestion of a free t-shrit but freeola only send out free t-shirts to current members of the forum who have won a gameaday and the t-shirt shall read "I've won one can you?" on the front and on the back "Freeola.com Gameday £30 voucher" so aslong as your not wearing a coat to cover up the back people in the street will be intruiged.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Excellent support service!
I have always found the support staff to provide an excellent service on every occasion I've called.
