I've found that certain websites actually get a good response through free promotional programs. For instance, I always run my ezine websites through my favorite click exchange Webmasterquest because it has a variety of different features and I find that I do get a few subscribers each time.
I also like FFA and Free Link pages because they make me think. Everytime I come across one I have to think about what title I want to use for
ad. I make myself use a different one every time. This helps me out when I do pay for an ezine ad for instance. I've already got a few good titles in my head.
I also love free search engine submission tools. I write a lot of articles and I like to submit
different webpages they appear on to search engines. I wouldn't dream of paying to do this though. But I can go to Addme.com and submit those webpages to a dozen or so search engines for free. And I've found that many of these webpages pop up in some of
better search engines eventually.
So before you totally write off free promotion, take a look at some of these programs and tools again. You might find one or two that can be of use to you, even after you've been on
World Wide Web awhile.
