My Favorite Giveaway Linkies!
One of the easiest ways to draw traffic to your blog is to give something away. It's not just that giveaways are popular--they're easy to advertise for, too! There are hundreds of sites where you can advertise your giveaways for free. Read on to learn some of the best places to list your blog giveaways
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.

Posted every Saturday
International Giveaways
Site usually only accepts giveaways which are open internationally, and has always sent a lot of traffic.
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.

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.
Sweepstakes Advantage (Now Paid Only)
Submit via form. You need to be registered to submit giveaways but giveaway submission is free.
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).
Places to Share Blogger Opps
Are you planning a group giveaway or other giveaway event? Below are some good places to share them (or to look for places to join).
- Giveaway Monkey Giveaway Opps
- Advertise With Bloggers Giveaways Facebook Group
- They have a thread where you can list blogger opps.

CampusBookRentals and Operation Smile
Are you a student? Looking for a place to find textbooks that's cheaper than your Campus Bookstore? When you rent books at CampusBookRentals.com you not only save 40% to 90% off new bookstore prices, you also help a child smile...because for every book rental they donate a portion of the profits to Operation Smile, an organization that performs cleft lip surgeries on children whose families could not otherwise afford it. Check out the video below about how Operation Smile changes children's lives.
I was not compensated for this post. I did create post for CampusRentals on another blog which I was paid for, but when I found out about their partnership with Operation Child I wanted to share about that here for free.

Low Entry Giveaway Linkies
If your giveaway is nearing it's end and you still have few entries, these places might help. Each has a different definition of "low comment/entry." Some are under 200, some are under 100, some have limits on when the contest ends, etc. (I will be editing this to put it in order by day posted soon). And of course, if you are looking to enter giveaways, these will generally be easier for you to win, since there are less people entered to these.
DAILY, MONTHLY AND ONGOING
You can always submit to these linkies. Expired giveaways are removed occassionally, or new linkies are posted daily.
Airplanes and Dragonflies
Lists giveaways daily. Accepts up to 500 entries, but those with 200 entries or less are listed first.
