Image credit: Mazda6 (Tor)My boss is doing an experiment which I have not tried till now. He started a competition to win a poken. Let see if it works. The principal of a community is not only to get something but also to give something. This applies for both sites. Another way to give is to write interesting content. And indeed, I like to read the blog of my boss: http://www.aadjemonkeyrock.com/. I have no idea if the experiment will work. We will see.
Do you have experiences with a competition to give something away? Was it successful?

We do this at our website ( http://www.collect4all.com ) every now and then. For example, we send a free product to everyone who leaves his name. Works quite well, but we have a steady number of visitors ( 500+ a day ). I don't think it works for attracting visitors, simply for the fact that people have to find us before they can get a free product. Also I don't believe you'll create a hype unless you have something very interesting (= expensive) to offer.
Another thing you want to ask yourself (which is probably the case with the poken give-away) is whether you want quality or quantity traffic. I prefer 10 buying customers anytime over 1000 visitors.
Also, it is a good thing to experiment with the time of publishing, but I think no conclusions can be drawn from a small number of visitors (the law of large numbers does not apply).
