advertising, here it
is!

There
are lots of ways to advertise for free but they
are time consuming so I guess technically, they
are not free because your time is worth
something! But if you have the time and not the
money this is for you.
I posed the question of “free advertising” to a
few forums and they all can back the same, but
with new links to check out. It’s basically
what I already knew, but it’s nice to try and
find new ways of doing things.
For this article that has helpful links in it,
Please go to my Website and click on Free
Advertising.
Link Popularity:
This is the most important thing and in doing
any or all of the below things, you will gain
link popularity. Links to your Website, wither
you link back or not, gets you ranked good with
search engines ( the best free advertising of
all) and you will get visitors from other sites
that are “targeted visitors” that are
interested in what you have to offer, and that
my friend is your “MAIN GOAL”
So here is what I know about free advertising
and what I have recently learned in no
particular order:
Articles:
Writing articles and submitting them to
different Website will get you the exposure you
need and also build your credibility. It’s not
so difficult to do this, just give good advise
on a subject you know a-lot about, hopefully it
is somehow connected to the product/service you
are selling on your Website. Make sure in your
signature that you have your URL or a way to
contact you. When you go to submit your
article, they usually give you a step-by-step
way to do this. You can always go to one of the
site first to get an idea of what you will need
to write and publish your article. You can also
go to my Website and see how I have written
them.You can go to Google or Yahoo and search
on “Submit your article for free”.
Classified Ads:
Classified Ads are another way of getting free
advertising for your business. In this you can
highlight the benefits of your site and/or
offer a special to get people to come to your
site. These have limited space, so you need to
make it short-n-sweet, and to the point to get
them to your site. The key is to have a
headline that sells, I can’t give you my source
because I buy a program to get this kind of
info., but you can do a search on Google or
Yahoo for “Headlines that Sell” and it will
give you some resources. If you would like to
know what program I received my sources from
e-mail me and I will give you the link.
Again, you can search on “Free Classified ad
submission” to find places to place your
ads.
Forums:
Forums are not only away for free advertising
but you can also ask questions from people that
have different way of looking at things or just
plain have the answer to your questions. You
can also answer question for other; it builds
your credibility up and gets you exposure for
your business. The way to find forums that
relation to your Website is to do a search for
“______ forums”, example: it could be video
games forums, cb radios forums, Internet
business forums, etc…
Press releases:
Sounds so professional, but you can do it, I
have faith! A press release simply tells the
World about your company and that you are ready
to do business. Most sites you go to will have
a temple you can go by to do this, I will be
providing that soon, maybe by the time you read
this. It’s pretty straightforward and anyone
that can type can do this. You can do a search
on “ Free Press release submission”
Link exchange:
Link exchange is a good way to get free
advertising and looks good for the search
engines. You can do this in a couple of ways
but you need to do what is right for you! There
are link exchange programs out there that are
for free and some you pay for. Stay away for
ones that you cannot pick and choose which
sites you want to link with. Link farm are very
bad for your site and can go against you with
the search engines. Link farms are from
companies that upload, let’s say 100 links to
your site and those same links will be on all
the other sites as well. It’s like a generic
links pages, way not good. It defeats the
purpose of links and shuts you out of search
engines.
Paid vs free, Paid everything is done for you,
all you have to do is accept links from other
sites or go out and request a link exchange
with another site with basically a touch of a
button. The free link exchange you have to go
out and request individual link exchanges
manually. Then manually add their links to your
site and there is not guarantee they will link
back after doing so. It all depends on how much
time you want to put into this.
Good Luck and Please contact me if you need
help or have any questions. That is what I’m
here for,
