    Hi moiraz - yeps welcome to Compaholics-Not-So-Anonymous :D I enter between 80-120 a day but only for things that I really want to win or that I could give away to family. It took around 4-6 weeks before the wins started to roll in (see my sig for details). There are tools that can help you that are posted in this thread & the thread/s before this to help fill in the forms etc. Good luck! :)


    valleylass - awww I'm sure you'll get a win soon, you just have to wait for the comp end dates to roll around & for them to pick & notify their winners which can take a while. Keep plugging away & the wins have to start sooner or later! In respect of recycling as I say no to contact then I don't get any junk mail through my letterbox & the only increase is a few more email newsletters which I scan through then delete. I'll try sending you some winning vibes tonight! :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Hiyas. Forgive the naivety of a newbie, but is there an MSE tool for keeping track of competitions? Something that would have entries like: OP, date entered, date winner is to be selected, time after selection of winner for notification, etc.

    I would really like to be sure I thank the OP if! when! there's a win (still waiting for first one! lol) I do thank the OP when I read &/or enter the competition....

    I've just not the time to do a spreadsheet or whatever.

    Thanks & good luck, all.

    help, lol I do a lot of comps of parenting sites and have noticed that the likes of mumszone, mumsonline and lots of others have the same prize, I won a weykick football table of mumszone then someone posted a comp from another parenting forum same people who supply the prize, is it ok to enter all of them, seems a bit like the local paper comps, a lot have the same comps can you enter all?

    Hi,

    I find the best way to find internet competitions that are likely to have fewer entrants (therefore maximising you chances of winning) is by putting in 'competitions' into a search engine and then going to the last few pages of the search results as these are the sites which won't be viewed as much.

    HTH and good luck everyone! :T

    I'd like to know this too please.

    I did a search for 'google autofill' and clicked on the downloading buttons and it said it had been done etc..... but <glances up> there's nothing there, no new toolbars at all. Being very untechnically minded I ahem.... gave up on that :o

    Would really appreciate some pointers, thanks :)

    its Roboform that is commonly used, not sure if i am allowed to type links, so try typing that in google, they have a free version that I have been using for a while and have had very few problems with.
