I've been thinking about doing some kind of tournament to help get the word out about a new site I am working on. Is it completely worthless to do a free roll? I searched PAW and have seen nothing but negative things being said about freeroll whores and such. I would hate to waste it.

Is it worth it to have a tournament with a small buy in and a good prize (like an ipod or Iphone)? Do your visitors actually sign up through your tracker, deposit, and play in the tournament?

What would be a good buy in amount to keep out the free rollers and but bring in actual players?

Anyone have any good experiences with tournaments like this?
