I did make an account but after I found out that scripting is the only way to win a prize I left it ;). People still tried more and I think most would have shown their backs later. Dont know how its doing now though. And yes, free gifts are surely great to have. But have you yourself gone back to ibibo after getting your gift?? @khare: Its tough to compare Bingo's success (?) with ibibo, Yaari's gifting strategies. Bingo was new and claimed to be different so advertising was important , and people always like change for their tongues . But ibibo, yaari are no (atleast not much) different from blogger, wordpress (orkut, etc) and other sites, and there is a cost thats involved in shifting to a new website for a user. Its not as easy as getting a grab from a shop. I feel Bingo did not do anything great. Their catchy ad would surely make people taste it once, but for long term success they ought to be good . I bought two packets but did not like both :)) . @ranta: I quiet agree with you on 2 things..IBibo after its initial round of cash gifts has probably seen less active users.

They didnt have anything new as far as product was concerned, but they made some eye-catching ads. And that worked for them. They sold the product well .. targeted the right audience and made money. Now a days most shops have more Bingo packets than Lay's Packets. ( I should know .. I survive on Chips ). Free Gifts and Offers are good for starts if you have something new to show to people .. if its something as redundant as a search Engine i dont think anyone is ever going to give up Google for guruji. PS -> when do we see your product in ads ? he he he .. thanks :)
