FFA Links While searching and placing free classifieds, you'll likely come across sites that provide free links, typically referred to as FFA sites, or "Free For All" links. These are specialized Web sites that allow advertisers to post short ads in various categories. The difference with FFA links is that you typically are only allowed a few words to describe your site, but with a simple click, prospects are immediately connected to your web page. It's important to choose your words carefully and include a major "BENEFIT" in your offer, rather than just a descriptive feature. Examples include, "Lose 20 pounds in 20 days!" or "Cut Your Legal Expenses In Half." Lead with benefit, follow up with features. In most cases, once an ad is placed on a FFA site, site owner then replies with an e-mail, acknowledging receipt of ad, accompanied with an ad of their own. Because of massive amount of link placements, FFA sites continuously drop old ads and replace them with new ones. So it's a good idea to revisit these sites regularly to re-post your ads. To find suitable FFA links, go to your favorite search engine and type in "FFA links." You will be provided with hundreds of different sites from which to choose.
