3. Free Links and FFA Pages Most people just submit to these, but you really need to consider owning one or two. Surely you have been torepparttar Free Links Pages where you submit your URL, and your webpage remains onrepparttar 125249 top, then scrolls off as others are added. The scroll-off time depends onrepparttar 125250 traffic atrepparttar 125251 particular webpage you submit to, usually 1-2 days...and yet sometimes 10 minutes. One of my FFA pages delivers me 400-600 emails every day- people waiting to receive my ad. Can you imagine how large my database has become, just from one service? 4. Free and paid Classifieds Placing Classified adds requires more than just submitting your URL. You need to be able to create a SHORT, but exciting description of your business/service. You only have a few seconds to GRAB your readers before they click away to someone else's ad. Classifieds do last longer than FFA's- sometimes as long as 3 months, and can be edited if your program changes. There are thousands of places to submit your classified ad... some free and some where you must pay. Always use a combination of both. Nothing works well by itself. Adland.com is great and free! For paid Classifieds, here is a good example: http://submit.websection.com/agent.cgi?id=10591 5.Replicating Websites These will work as long as you are willing to promote them.Place your ad, thenrepparttar 125252 entire page is duplicated. The company will send you a URL to promote, along with any other programs you are involved in. Your ad stays on top. 6. Offline Advertising You can not have a total promotion package without it. By offline, I definately DON'T mean sell your product or sevice to all your relatives and friends. Never a good thing to do! You can promote offline easily by purchasing inexpensive items to place on your vehicle, window, or anywhere. I have found two terrific tools that are inexpensive... Web-Decals- Place these in your car back window-advertise while driving: http://www.webdecal.com .cgi/100654 Id It Plates-Again for your car: http://www.iditplates.net/new/1642/index.html ****************************** OK- followrepparttar 125253 examples above for a COMPLETE promotion package you can put together YOURSELF at a reasonable cost.
