So how do they find sweepstakes not already listed. Try Google search.

Back when I was an avid sweeper I did my part in submitting sweepstakes not already listed at my favorite site. To find these sweepstakes I used the sweepstakes rules to get me the most obscure results.

To be a legitmate sweepstakes, a contest must have detailed rules. There are various things that all sweepstakes have to say. Depending on the sweepstakes these do vary. To find google results only for sweepstakes I routinely set my search terms to only include snippets of the rules such as...

"To play by mail"

"Open to residents of the fifty United States and D.C., 

eighteen (18) years of age and older"

"PRIZES AND ODDS"

"Total Prize ARV"

Results will vary and most of what will be listed will already be in sweepstakes directories. If your not sure if something has already been listed, do another search using the sweepstakes name, this will bring up anywhere it may be listed.

Pick and choose and play with what parts of the sweepstakes rules you use for searching. Keep in mind that the further back in the google search results you have to look, the harder it is to find for others as well.

Including in your search terms a date will lower the chances of finding sweepstakes that are already over. A good date to use is the end of the current month, or the next month, or December 31st of the current year. For a wider result use just the year.
