Mr. Sweepy's Forums

He's sent all of us to so many super sweeps and helped so many of us win wonderful prizes! But I keep wondering-

When the entry for asks where we found out about the sweeps, should we be specific in naming this site? I just entered the Colgate-Palmolive sweep that's newly listed today, and checked the "other" category, which asks for a specific source. I know we'd all be delighted to do this whenever possible if it will help the site. But I'm not certain that it will. I wonder if some sponsors dislike getting flocks of entries from sweep websites. I enter about 200 sweeps a day, and the sponsors may not classify folks like me as true potential customers. They'd be wrong, because even my rapid-fire entry does affect my buying habits. I've made purchases, learned about new products and added websites to my list of favorites. And I'm not an easy sell! Still the question remains-

Mr Sweepy, is it helpful to you if we identify ourselves as members of your flock when we fill our millions of forms?

Now I wonder if Mr. Softy can tell us how many entries a day are made from this site.... wouldn't that be fun to know?

At first I didn't, then I started to put ST.  I felt the same as you Lisa, wanting to give Mr. Sweepy the credit for us being there.  Then I stopped because I wondered if that was a good idea or not!  It will be nice to know.

I often put "friend", Mr. Sweepy is one of my very best friends although I have never met him. .  He has created a great site, my family and I love the opportunity to win great prizes.  If Mr. Sweepy would like us to post SweepstakeToday.com I would go along with that.

Yup, the "friend" box is entirely appropriate! I've used it from from time to time too!

Has Mr. S answered this question yet, perhaps someplace else? I have one sweeps asking the same thing, and I do put Sweepstakestoday.com, but also wonder if this is helpful or detrimental to Mr. Sweepy and all of us "sweepers".

If he has answered the question, I haven't seen it.  He is out of town this week, so maybe he'll answer when he gets back!

Hi,  You can say that Mr. Sweepy is a friend...lol 

On the number of total entries, member count, and other information we do not disclose.  Sorry

Mr. Sweepy

Thanks for the answer! 

I'm sure many of us would like to do whatever we can to be helpful because we really appreciate you and the site. Of course there have to be limits. If you gave out your address, you'd be up to your armpits in home baked cookies in no time! I guess it comes back to the basics- we just need to keep our comments helpful and positive, so folks will be comfortable here. And we need to click on the Google sidebars as often as possible. I need to think of it as a quick addition to my daily entries!
