Reader Loyalty Has Its Rewards



Our new Reader Rewards Program is our way of saying "Thank You" to our dedicated reader audience of webmasters and site owners, many of whom have been following SPN since our launch in 2001.

Each month we plan to add quality giveaways - ebooks, whitepapers, software, and product/service discounts - that we're sure you'll find beneficial in managing and promoting your website(s).

The best part? The Reader Rewards program won't cost you a nickel. And don't mistake "free" for "no value". These are quality products and services that can help you in your daily work and in making your website a success.

So, what do you need to do to start downloading this month's giveaways? The answer is simple - just keep doing what you're already doing - read the SiteProNews newsletter.

For a detailed explanation of the program, read the section to the right entitled "How The Reader Rewards Program Works".

How The Reader Rewards Program Works

As noted, each month we will be adding to the list of quality giveaways - ebooks, whitepapers, software, and product/service discounts - that will be available for you to download.

A point value will be assigned to each of the "rewards" offered. The point value will be dependent on what we determine to be the relative value of the giveaway. Some rewards will only have a value of one point while others may be valued as high as 8 points.

To collect a given reward, you need to accumulate the necessary points for that reward. You do that simply by reading the SiteProNews newsletter. You can receive a maximum of 1 point per week by reading at least 3 of the 6 issues we publish weekly (includes dedicated advertiser mailings).

Once you reach the required point level for any given reward, the link for that reward will automatically become a live download link. Until then, it will remain greyed out.

In brief, whatever your point total, you will be able to download any reward that has an equal or lesser point value. So - if you have 4 points, you won't qualify for a free ExactSeek ad, but you will be able to download ebooks, whitepapers and software.

IMPORTANT: To receive any points, you must ensure that you receive the SiteProNews newsletter (white label "sitepronews.com" when setting your e-mail or spam filter rules) and that you do not have "images" turned off in your email program settings.

How To Determine Your Current Point Total

In most SPN mailings we will include a text link or linked Reader Rewards graphic which will enable you to access your Reader Rewards member page by clicking on the link or graphic.

Your member page will display the following:

• Your current total reward points.
• The current list of monthly rewards.
• Links for redeeming rewards for which you qualify.
• News about, or changes to, the Reader Rewards Program.

Contribute to Our Rewards Program and Go Viral!

Now that you know how the Reader Rewards Program works, we want to go a step further and invite you to participate as a contributor.

Our criteria are as follows:

• Your offering needs to be free
• Your offering needs to offer real value to our readers
• Your offering cannot easily be acquired for free elsewhere
• Your offering needs to be hosted on our servers, except in the case of product/service discounts.

In short, we are only interested in quality, value-driven bonus reward giveaways that will be of real benefit to our readers.

If you would like to offer product or service discounts, contact us directly so we can work out the best method of implementation.

We expect thousands of downloads monthly with numbers rising sharply in the second and subsequent months of the program.

Our Reader Rewards program can provide your website or company with a unique means of building your brand and exposing your website, products and/or services to a targeted and responsive audience.
