Free Advertising for your Internet Business
Category: Free Advertising | Dec 24, 2009 |
When starting off in business one of the first major tasks to get done is to get your product infront of people. This obviously is done by advertising. But for many an advertising budget just isn’t possible when first starting out. This is where free advertising can be very effective.
For free advertising to have a good effect on your business you are going to need a few things. Time, patience, drive and consistency. Free advertising takes alot of time, but is well worth the effort in the end. And you will need to be patient because it won’t bring results straight away. So you will need to keep going, testing new sites, testing what ads are working and which ones are not. And stay consistent by advertising daily.
Finding what advertising sites work is going to take a lot of searching. So I would suggest that you advertise from 30-60 min per day and spend another 30-45 min looking for new sites to advertise on. Keep track on which of the sites are bringing you the best results, and which ones you can leave and look for new ones.
Because you are advertising for free, many sites are going to send you their own advertisements. So open up a free email account and use that when joining new sites. To keep your email account from getting full, simply empty it once a week or so.
Some types of free advertising sites are Traffic Exchanges, Link Exchanges, Classified Ad sites, Banner Exchanges, Free Opt-in Mail sites.
* Traffic Exchanges work by you surfing other peoples sites, and for each site you look at you will earn credits.
* Link Exchanges require you to add other websites links onto your website and Vise-Versa. This type of advertising can also rank you higher on the Search Engines.
* Banner Exchanges are like Traffic Exchanges but you will put other sites banners onto yours and again each time they are shown you will earn credits.
* Classified Ad sites are pretty straight forward. You will be able to place your ad for a certain amount of time. That could be a few hours to a few months. The longer the ad stays on the site the better chance of it being seen.
* Free Opt-in Email sites you can advertise to every member. But they can also send you their email ads, so this is where you will need that free email account. Depending on how many of these sites you join, you will be better off having an email account for each.
Free advertising lets you keep all of the profits that you make. It is a great way to build your Internet business without spending your hard earned cash. So you can save your money until you can afford to pay for advertising. Just remember, all you are giving up is time, so you have nothing to lose just to gain. Stay focused and consistent, and before you know it you will notice that you are getting good results.
All the best,
Campbell Shaw

Small Business Marketing Strategy: Target the up-and-coming search engines
While Google still rules the roost when it comes to Internet search engines, and Yahoo is firmly entrenched in second spot, a number of new start-ups are hoping to give them a run for their money. And a good small business marketing strategy would be to check them out and see how you can make them work for your site!
Some of the new up-and-comers include:
Powerset : ( http://www.powerset.com ) A "natural language" search engine
Hakia : ( http://www.hakia.com ) A "meaning-based" search engine
Wikia : ( http://www.wikia.com ) A "community-based" search engine
ChaCha : ( http://www.chacha.com ) A "social networking-based" search engine
Snap : ( http://www.snap.com ) A search engine that offers visual previews
It's a smart small business marketing strategy to continue optimizing for the Google, Yahoo, and MSN search engines as they are by far and away the most popular — but niche search engines could provide new opportunities to reach your market. Be sure to check them out!
Getting traffic is a combination of a lot of things. The key to success is to create great content that visitors want to use, search engines will love and other websites will naturally link to. Of course, it's easier said than done.
You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com
Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:
1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.
2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that's additional traffic that you get for FREE!
Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html
3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.
If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com's "Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day." http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm
4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.
Here is a comprehensive list of where to submit your articles http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=AhzreGmnCUicOoyedqypscUjzKIX?qid=1006022407481
6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:
Craigslist http://www.craigslist.com
Google Base http://base.google.com

Text Link Exchange http://www.txtswap.com/

In the cities (mostly major) where it operates, Craigslist is an excellent resource for "getting the world out".
If you visit Craigslist.com, take a look on the right hand side of the page for all the cities that Craigslist serves – the homepage is for the original Craigslist site in San Francisco, so you'll probably have to click through to another homepage.
This day and age, I'd say post something on MYSPACE.
Have you thought of craiglist.org and I don't know if you want to but here in Chicago we have a free classified ad paper that comes out every Friday called the Reader.
