making contests

I think declaring a contest in the forum or site will help immensely in boosting the site. But one problem that may arise is that because of the contest one may not be able to get quality postings done. only a handful will post dedicatedly even in a contest. But surely this is a tecnique wherein it brings huge traffic.

Declaring of contest is not a bad idea, but it all depends how strict rules you have kept for the contest and moreover how managed is your Forum's Team so that incentive traffic can be controlled in better way.

Contests are good, I would suggest having 1st, 2nd, 3rd place prizes so people don't give up when they think 1st place is unreachable.
