Just wanted to say that for a company blog post, this was really great. It's data-rich, it tells a compelling story, the site has a solid visual design, and the multiple calls to action were well placed and didn't detract from the post.

I don't know this industry niche well, but I'm guessing Rafflecopter is a chief competitor. I think if they see this blog post, it'll rattle their knees a little :)

Soooo is it acceptable/moral to gamify likes/+1/reposts/shares like this ?

They are presenting their data to us in that fashion, so what specifically is morally questionable about it in your opinion?

Like our facebook page to enter this contest?

And after say look how many likes we have (cuz many people only gave a shit because of the ~free stuff)

Hey there, co-founder of ViralSweep here.

Liking a Facebook page was not a requirement to enter the giveaway. If you look at the section that shows the giveaway design, the only requirement was to enter your email address. The page they see after they enter contains the social options which are optional to complete.
