7. Ask your visitors to sign-up for a chance to get a web site award. Have them e-mail you their contact and web site information.

8. Have visitors fill out a survey on your web site. Give them a f.ree gift as an incentive to complete the form.

9. O.ffer a free online service from your web site. Have visitors fill out their contact information to sign-up to the f.ree service.

10. Ask visitors to sign your guest book. Tell them they will get a f.ree gift in return.

11. Offer a free affiliate program for your visitors. They will have to sign-up in order to receive marketing materials and commissions.
