Nice app recommendation. I’ve noticed many times these types of add-ons might slow your site page load. Have you ever seen this type of concerns for this app? Also does it impact SEO at all? Thanks for sharing.
Great tutorial Bharat. I generally use Rafflecopter to organize giveaways on my blogs, either I do it manually
.
previously I used to use rafflecopter but i am not really satisfied with the results so ill use punchtab for my next giveaway
Thanks for sharing this I would like to use this rather that another one which i usally use it.
Hi Bharat, Great tutorial I came here from FB and got really valuable information from your this post. What do you think which one is better. Roffelcopter or this PunchTab?
Hi Raheem, thanks for dropping by. We tried both Rafflecopter and PunchTab, in our view PunchTab is a bit ahead when compared to RC. For your next giveaway try PunchTab and you surely will like it.
Great Tutorial. Nice to learn about new tools. We get used to Goodbuzz (http://goodbuzz.net) it’s quite similar but with free unlimited promotions
A very nice way to promote your blog! Thanks for the post.
Planning to try out in my website. Let see how the response is. If it is viral then i would be happy
Punchtab is great. I’m currently running a $75 Cash Prize GiveAway with it
thanks for sharing this
Thanks for this article. I just finished my first Punchtab giveaway, and I am sold! It was amazing to see how it got people sharing and helping spread the word about my free handcrafted jewelry giveaways. I wanted to do some research on a comparison between them and Rafflecopter and the need to manually validate entries on Rafflecopter is a big turn off. For what I need to do, Punchtab offers more than enough features and great flexibility…for free! Great app and very responsive support. I do both monthly and random giveaways. This will be my last month doing the monthly manually – way too much work. I only wish I could use Punchtab for both, but you can only have 1 giveaway active at a time. So, I’m going to use them for my monthly and most likely Giveaway Tab on Facebook for my randoms beginning next month.
Does Punchtab work for WordPress.com blogs? For some reason, the snippet keeps disappearing whenever I insert it into my WordPress.com blog. I tried it in my WordPress.org blog (where I don’t actually want it) and it worked. Am I missing something or is Punchtab only designed for WordPress.org blogs?
