Description:

It is time for our second promotional contest. Spread the word about Slickguns.com and win these cool prizes. Share good deals with your friends to earn points. Top promoters will earn prizes, in addition several lucky promoters from our raffle drawing will recieve prizes. Every promotional point you accumulate enters your name in the raffle, the more points you have the greater your chances are for winning prizes. Please read our Contest Terms first.

Update - June 4th - 2012 - Effective immediately, promoting our website on any firearm forum is prohibited. Points accumulated until now will be accepted, but new posts and points from any Firearm Forums with referral links will be deducted and Promoters will be disqualified.

From now on, Facebook clicks will be rewarded with 2 points instead of one.

We apologizes for any inconvenience, but some promoters are violating our own contest rules and the rules of many firearm forums. Due to the post editing options on many forums, it is increasingly hard to determine who is abusing these rules.

Update - Promoting our site on AR15.com is not allowed. Points accumulated until now will be accepted, but new posts and points from AR15.com with referral links will be deducted and may disqualify the Promoter.

If you would like to support our contest with one of your products that you manufacture or sell through your store, please send us an email to office @ slickguns.com to work out the details.

Update - Promoting on social network sites (Facebook, Twitter, G+) is allowed, and it always was!

from the terms & conditions - http://slickguns.com/contest/latest-contest

Every promotional point you accumulate enters your name in the raffle, the more points you have the greater your chances are for winning the prizes.

every point enters your name in the raffle once, more points, better chances.

3 promoters with the greatest number of points get the first 3 prizes and they are not eligible to participate in the raffle portion. We do this to encourace as many visitors as possible to participate.

Hope this helps.

Awesome, thank you sir.

Well, good luck everyone. Since this is just for FB and the like, I'm no longer posting links. I'm a teacher, so the brunt of my FB list includes anti-gun ultra liberals who threaten to cost me my job because of posting gun links on a page that can be viewed by students.

Best of luck with the contest.

Id like to know if all those points were within the contest terms because thats pretty damn impressive if they are. Must have A LOT of facebook friends willing to help out. Hell I have 460 facebook friends and I cant even pull off that kind of jump in points. Ive exhausted all my resources so if he continues getting 1750+ points per day Im not going to last long.

Submitted by ers001 on Sun, 2012-06-10 05:18.

What I find with my links is, the day that I post them I get a surge in traffic (as expected), but then it tapers off by about 50-60% each day... So if X-Number people click on day I post, then only 1/2-X on day #2, only 1/4-X on day #3, etc. So as the links get 'stale' after 3-4 days, it's important to I repost the link, taking care to describe slickguns a little differently each time, so as to not appear spam'ey.

The last time I hit slickguns really good, was in a big rant about how gun control in the UK doesn't really work (so it's on topic), and then listed slickguns as a convenient way to shop for guns and ammo online. That was on Friday morning, ans as you can see, the traffic has pretty much tapered off.

How does the raffle portion

Submitted by MLMLMLML on Thu, 2012-06-07 06:03.

How does the raffle portion of the contest work? Is each point counted as an additional raffle entry? Would someone with 3000 points have more odds of winning than someone with 3 points? Also, would the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners still be eligible for the raffle if they've already won their respective prizes?

I vote each point is a chance

Submitted by Ninja on Thu, 2012-06-07 07:06.

I vote each point is a chance to win. But then again I may be biased :)

But it really does make sense, why should the guy who comes in 4th place who spent dozens of hours repping slick guns and who got thousands of his friends to click the links have the same chances as someone who signed up and did nothing?

Also only one prize per

Submitted by Ninja on Thu, 2012-06-07 07:12.

Also only one prize per person, but the random prizes should be drawn first, and if someone in the top 3 happens to win, they should be given the choice between their drawing prize and their placement prize. These are just my humble suggestions that I'm throwing out there.

Submitted by Ninja on Fri, 2012-06-08 03:17.

I think they should allow the top three to be in the raffle, but of course only allow each person to win one prize. So hypothetically if someone in the top 3 should win the raffle, they choose between their top 3 prize and the raffle prize.

As much as I like this idea,

Submitted by ers001 on Tue, 2012-06-12 04:01.

As much as I like this idea, I hope they don't allow prize swapping because people have this amazing ability to turn into complete jerks whenever something free is given away. Let's say TopTraffic #1 -- because he has the most raffle chances -- also happens to win Raffle #1 and decides that instead of a Kel-tec carbine, they want the Saiga 7.62x39, so they swap prizes and the Kel-Tec becomes the #1 raffle prize. Now when Raffle #1 is re-picked, whoever that winner is will complain that they've already got a 9mm carbine, or don't like Kel-Tec, or specifically wanted the Saiga, or don't like folding weapons, or any one of 100 other sour grape reasons.

I think the prizes are what they are, we all knew what we were getting into when we started sending traffic. Effectively the top 3 traffic people are being compensated for their efforts, so making them ineligible for the raffle portion, much like the way that radio station employees are exempt from radio station contests. You win one of the top 3 traffic slots, congratulations here's your reward for your hard work, move along. Whoever wins the three raffle slots, congratulations, today's your lucky day, count your blessings and move along.

The only possible exception would be if a TopTraffic winner would choose to forfeit their TopTraffic prize, and thus keep themselves eligible for the raffle portion, but then they take their chances just like everyone else and run the risk of walking away empty handed. In such case -- and I think they'd be crazy -- the TopTraffic #4 person just moves into the winners circle as TopTraffic #3.

But, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Then what happens if the

Then what happens if the person in the #1 spot decides they want the raffle prize instead of the 1st place prize? Does the #2 go to #1, and #3 to #2, and #4 to #3. But then say that #3 (the former #4) wants the raffle instead of the 3rd place? And also #2 is kinda pissed because he wanted the 2nd place prize and not the 1st, because he already has it.

I think this is good because all the firearm forums I go to have been flooded with slickguns links so I didnt post any because I didnt want to contribute to the onslaught of new posts. Its good to get deals out to people but when you make it a contest it just turns into a free for all post-a-thon which can somewhat compromise the integrity of the forum.

I think this is a bad idea. I have stopped by your site a few times, but now after a few message boards that I am on have been constantly spammed by trolls that post one slickguns referral link after another(in violation of forum rules), I will not be visiting your site anymore, and have already suggested to the forum admins that any and all links to or discussion of slickguns be banned. This will be happening shortly, and based on the growing negative responses to the increasing number of spamming trolls on the forums, I am not alone in staying away from your site.

Submitted by GunsNThings on Sat, 2012-06-02 14:04.

I won the contest last go around and I can attest to it being possible to get a bunch of clicks in a very short time if you HAMMER it...However, it is VERY difficult to do so if you're abiding by ALL the terms of the contest. (i.e. Not spamming and flooding forums) - And typically, it'll only be possible a few times before your resources are completey tapped out.

Aside from maybe 1000 clicks or so, I can almost guarantee most other peoples clicks are from spamming forums and their friends and posting on other deal sites which is prohibited. Hopefully those people who have chose to do so will get banned from the forums and be disqualified from the contest for spamming.

Hopefully slickguns will not get a bad reputation and all links be banned from forums just because of some bad promoters with no common courtesy or regard for the rules.

Its not that hard to accumulate points. The last contest I had over 6k points at the end of it and still only got second place. I assure you everything I have done to get points abides by this contests terms and rules. I have A LOT of facebook friends and they are already annoyed because they thought the last contest was the end of my link posting. But now that I see there is another contest its time to get some traffic to slickguns. Remember, this isnt my first rodeo and good luck to everyone.

There was a post by mark or someone that it was illegal this time around to post on Facebook/social networking. I'd like to know where that went. Suddenly, it's not there or I can't find it. If this is nothing more than a Facebook "get your buddies to click-a-roo," rather than actually promoting this site to people who will actually make use of it, then I don't see much point in continuing.
