My Top 3 Giveaway Link Sites
While there are many, many sites to list your giveaways on, I've found that most bring in few hits (usually around 2-3 hits each, usually). The following sites 10 sites are the exception. When I list my giveaways on the sites below they typically bring in 10-60 hits each. The first three are the real powerhouses...they've stayed consistently on this list through many updates and always do well, but they have some restrictions.
Airplanes & Dragonflies (Giveaway Under 500 entries)
If you have a giveaway with under 500 entries she will post it on her Last Chance giveaway and may also post it in daily "low entry giveaway" posts. You submit giveaways via a form.
Mom Does Review Super Saturday Linky Party
Posted every Saturday
International Giveaways
Site usually only accepts giveaways which are open internationally, and has always sent a lot of traffic.
Past Top Linkies
These have fallen out of the top 10 for various reasons. Some are still good to add too, but just may have fallen below others. A few of these are temporarily not taking new links.
- Contest Listing
- Submit Via Web Form.
- The Steady Hand - Rafflecopter Giveaway Linky
- Ongoing linky which accepts only Rafflecopter giveaways. She has another giveaway linky for any type of giveaway here, but I find the Rafflecopter one is the real traffic draw.

Cloth Giveaway Round-up
Every Friday this blog posts a list of cloth-diaper giveaways followed by a general linky that all family friendly giveaways can be posted on.
Other Great Places to Post Giveaways
While the ones above are my best bets for consistent traffic, depending on the type of giveaway you have, other sites may work better for you. Here are some suggestions.
If you're having a hard time getting people to enter, these lists are perfect for you. Most of the time they list giveaway under 200 entries (sometimes less), and some have time restrictiosn (such as ending within the next week).
If you're giveaway is open outside the US, or is a local giveaway only availaible to people of a certain state or city, than regional or international linkies are a good place to list it.
They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. So if you have a visually appealing product, you might want to list it on one of these pictoral/thumbnail linkies.
There are linkies out there focusing just on specific types of giveaways (book giveaways, baby giveaways, giveaways from specific stores). These linkies might give you more traffic than others if you have a giveaway that fits their topic.
OK, these won't give you any more traffic than others, but the cool thing about giveaways which use a Mister Linky form is that once you've entered your giveaway into one form, usually the next form will automatically fill in your title/URL (you only have to click submit). That makes these forms VERY EASY to fill in, and you can go through a lot of them very quickly. And one or two hits from A WHOLE LOT OF LINKIES makes up for a lot of hits.
Ongoing Giveaway Link-Ups
Most of these are included above. These tend to be crowded link-ups, but if you have a giveaway with a late end date and you get yours in early, yours will rise to the top if these are pruned.

If you want to take the time to list your giveaways EVERYWHERE POSSIBLE, these sites list even more giveaways. And if you're looking for places to FIND giveaways, these might be even better than my top ten (since they may be getting less traffic).
