Simkl today released Promo Manager http://promo.simkl.com, a FREE service for promoting your Website, Startup or Online Shop on Twitter and Blogs in exchange for giving away Invitation codes and Promo codes (Coupon codes, Vouchers, etc…) to your users.
If you have something that people want (a Coupon code, Invitation code, some content hidden behind a secret URL, etc…), you can exchange it for a post on user’s Blog or Twitter account using Simkl Promo Manager. Simply add your promo codes to Simkl Promo Manager, enter what you want users to Tweet. Simkl will create a special page for your promo code or Invitation code which you can give to your users. Here’s a demo: http://activatepromo.com/57/.
Simkl will automatically post your message to user’s Twitter account or Blog, then it will check the post and will give the user his Promo code, Invitation code, URL, or whatever you choose.
Why distribute Invitation codes through Simkl?
- When you have a closed registration and people can register only with invitation code, you get a lot of requests asking for the invitation. Using Simkl Promo Manager you can give out Invitation codes automatically only to those people, who are really interested in your service, and who are ready to promote your service. Those are the people to whom you really want to give Invitation codes.
- Automatically detect and invite enthusiasts who are ready for small bugs on your new startup.
Why distribute coupons/vouchers using Simkl?
- To encourage people Tweet & Blog about you
- To increase your customer base
- To increase customer loyalty
- To encourage sales (e.g. of excess inventory)
- To increase brand awareness
- To reward existing customers

Good Job, but is it possible to add a website address to the very last page? (The page were the user gets the promo code)

You can just add promo codes that include your code inside the URL, for example:
http://website.com/promo.php?code=42421
