Golden Ticket is a WordPress plugin which encourages user interaction on your website. When used properly, Golden Ticket will increase your page views, time on site, interaction, and conversions.
The theory is simple, you hide these tickets randomly throughout your content. After something triggers the ticket (this something is user definable, such as a timed delay), your ticket slides into view, revealing a bonus for your reader thanking them for reading your content. This is a great way to reward those visitors who actually stay and read your content. By setting a user interaction trigger to show the ticket you’re almost guaranteed to target a user who is interested in reading your content.
Golden Ticket is not intended for things like opt-in forms, or banner ads. It’s designed to give the reader something as a reward.
Usage is simple, just insert the shortcode [goldenticket] in your content where you want the ticket to appear.
<h4>Demos</h4>
<a href="http://thepluginfactory.co/distribution/submitting-a-plugin-to-the-wordpress-org-plugin-directory/" rel="nofollow ugc">Golden Ticket Demo Link</a> – At the top of this page is a hidden Golden Ticket. Either move your mouse around near the top of the first paragraph, or simply wait 10 seconds to see it appear.

<h4>Usage</h4>
The three ways to reveal your tickets are:
<ol>
<li>After a set amount of time – If you want to reward only the most loyal of readers, set the delay to something like 30 seconds. If they are still reading your content after 30 seconds, odds are they will read the ticket when it appears. </li>
<li>When the mouse is over the ticket – The ticket will remain invisible until the user hovers over it with the mouse. This is for those readers who scan through the content with their mouse cursor. </li>
<li>When the ticket is scrolled into view – The ticket will remain hidden on the page until the position of the ticket is scrolled into view. This means if you hide the ticket near the end of the content, it will never show until the user scrolls to that point. </li>
</ol>

This WordPress plugin that makes it quick and easy for you to:
<ul>
<li>
Create daily giveaways for your users to enter once per day
</li>
<li>
View the results in admin settings page
</li>
</ul>
1) Plugin creates a “Giveaways” content type with “Why,” “About,” “Rules,” “Number of Prizes” (available), and an “End Date.”  Fill in these fields, upload a featured image, and  the giveaway will be created for you.
2) When a visitor sees the page, they will find an entry box requiring their email and name, and will be allowed to enter every 24 hours until the contest ends.
3) All published giveaways will appear at the archive page for giveaways.  When contest has ended, it will still appear in the archive, but now it will indicate that it is closed. If you have your urls set to the “Post name” structure, your archive page will be found at http://your-site-name/giveaway/
4) To view a sortable table of entries, go to the “Give it Away Now Entries” page found under the settings tab.
5) Please note that plugin creates a custom image size, so giveaway images should be uploaded through the giveaway content type to insure they appear properly.
6) If giveaways do not appear when clicking the view link, or paths appear broken, the permalink pattern might be stuck – choosing a different permalink setting, and then switching back to the original setting should fix.
