    Looking for innovative ways to attract users to your site? What about this:

    The National Cuff Link Society is sponsoring a contest to promote the wearing and collecting of cuff links. Entrants need only describe in 250 words, or less, the reasons they enjoy cuff links. First prize will be a pair of solid gold Power Cuff Links made by the contest's co-sponsor, LEONCINI Power Cufflinks. Twenty-five runners-up will receive free one-year memberships in The National Cuff Link Society.

    The National Cuff Link Society is a membership organization dedicated to the cuff link collector. The $25 annual dues provides many benefits including a giant quarterly publication, The Link, discounts at participating antique shops, flea markets, and jewelers; free appraisals, "locator" services and an annual convention.
