Hey Guys, This is my new website I created over the past month or so.

It is an automatic entry service for online competitions. For only $20 per year, Members are signed up to over 1000 online competitions to win anything from a $500 supermarket voucher to a vacation to Paris.

When members are signed up they are given a new email address which will be their competition email and all that is required of them is to check it every week or two to see if they have won any of the competitions we have entered them into.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Especially with regard to SEO and marketing the site online

I get the feeling that the website only applies to people who sign up in Australia. You should make it more clear that is for Australian residents only.

It's a pretty cool idea though.

An important disclosure is that i am a friend of the founder, but to get the discussion rolling a few things he needs to fix is:

-To add a Blog to the site.

-To fix up the prizes page as it doesnt present well.

-To redo the homepage as it is not perfectly clear what the website is doing.

I think its a great idea though so I wish him all the best and I signed up as well. I'd better win though.

Great idea! Might you do this for Canadian residents?

That is the plan. Australia is lucky in that it has a large population of "compers"/people who enter competitions as a hobby and as a result there is a large number of online competitions available to enter. With the target market being middle aged women and the demographics of Canada and Australia being almost identical it has become our first step in expanding overseas. Britain unfortunately has a few competitors which obviously has pro and cons for entering the market there.
