Edit: Updated to reflect May and June 2011 traffic sources.
Whether you’re a company wondering how much exposure your product will receive from hosting a giveaway on Freebie Spot or if you’re a blogger looking to promote your giveaways, the following is a complete list of resources of where Freebie Spot giveaways are promoted.
I do not list my giveaways on every linky or giveaway directory on the internet. Why? Because most of these linkys provide little to no return traffic. It is not worth the time required to list giveaways there. I am constantly testing new sources for traffic so it is possible that this list will change over time. If you have a linky or giveaway directory you would like me to try and potentially be added to this list, please contact me.
The following traffic-tested list is ordered from highest traffic to lowest traffic, but even the lowest traffic site listed still produces great traffic numbers since this is an exclusive list.
Freebie Spot approved traffic-tested list:
- Online-Sweepstakes (304 March; 758 April; 785 May; 696 June)
- Sweepstakes Advantage (185 May; 101 June) – new to the approved list!
- Prizey (n/a March; 118 April; 87 May; 95 June)
- Tip Junkie (n/a March; 44 April; 113 May; 74 June)
- Blog Giveaway Directory (n/a March; 40 April; 48 May; 19 June) – reciprocal link required
- Pixie13-Just Contest Stuff (19 March; 14 April; 36 May; 15 June)
Currently testing (not approved yet):
- Free Blog Giveaways (18 May; 26 June)
- Giveaway Scout (11 May; 4 June) – auto-scans blog for giveaways; must be approved; reciprocal link required
- Blog Giveaways (12 May; 45 June) – submit via email
- Contestgirl (5 June) – new!
No longer using due to low traffic numbers: I deleted some before making this post. I will add names as I remember them.
- Contest for Moms (www.contestformoms.com) little to no traffic
- Mom Audience (www.momaudience.com) little to no traffic
- MyWeeView linky (www.myweeview.com/category/linkup/) little to no traffic
- Mom Giveaways (www.momgiveaways.com) (1 May; 0 June) Late in posting giveaways; little to no traffic
- Prize-a-tron (www.prizeatron.com) (0 May; 2 June) They pick and choose what to post and from who; little to no traffic
Hi there! I'm Jenny, a coffee-addicted, busy-body, work at home mom of two insane boys age 10 & 4. I'm married to my best friend, obsessed with the Packers, and I love to cook, read, and design blogs.

You can add Freebies, Contests, Sweepstakes, Giveaways, Tech Deals and Bargains here: http://gizmorati.com/forums/
Thanks so much for sharing this! I'm so glad I found this list because, just few days back I was looking for ways to promote my giveaways. I'm pinning this up! :)
Hi Jenny! Could you include our website as well in your list for submitting and promoting giveaways? It's http://www.contestheat.com :-)
Have you tried Win Prizes Online (http://www.winprizesonline.com) yet? This one is kind of a pain to enter because you HAVE to post a 250x250 image, but the traffic it has brought me has made it worth the time it takes to make that image.
Over from PITM!! THanks for this list! I need to start listing my giveaways at these places! I swear I run out of time and don't post them there. I think I am super lucky and have great readers, but I'd love more entries! :) BTW how do you find out what your numbers are from these places???
I may eventually stop posting giveaways at these places because I'd rather have my dedicated readers win rather than someone who only visited for the giveaway. And the numbers are from Google Analytics. :) Thanks for stopping by!
Thank you so much for sharing this! I often wonder if I am posting my giveaways on the proper sites... This will help immensely! Here from PITM! Have an awesome day! =)
Glad I could help! Thanks for stopping by. :)
Thanks for sharing! I really need to start using these more!
I have been surprised! The ones I thought were good.. aren't. :)
I just started a new blog and I have a giveaway going. This post just marked a big item off my TO DO list for the week! Thanks so much!
You're welcome! :)
We too are new bloggers and we have never actually given away stuff on our site. Article started some new thoughts for us! I think we will take it slow though, it is tough enough coming up with new content all the time! ;) CC
Thanks for doing all the hard work! I am a new blogger and am trying hard to get traffic to my site. This helps so much!
You're welcome! I'm glad you find it useful. :)
Hey I've recently created a giveaway directory please drop by http://giveawayscentral.blogspot.com/ and include it in your list to help spread the word :)
Sorry Sonia.. I don't do international giveaways. :(
Thanks Sonia. Checking it out now.
I really appreciate you posting this! Love that the list is traffic-tested to save me some time. Online-Sweepstakes, Prizey,, and Blog Giveaway Directory I have been using. I will now expand to Tip Junkie and maybe Pixie 13. Thank you!
You're welcome! :) Glad to help.
