Posting Free Ads Still Works
Written by PLRMan on February 14, 2009 – 7:32 pm -Although they are largely wrong, many webmasters would probably say that free advertising is dead and gone. While it’s probably true that paid advertising is more effective, free advertising is far from dead.
There are many forms of free advertising, such as forum signatures, viral ebooks, and article marketing, which is indeed proof that free advertising is not dead. In this article however, we will just be looking at a simple and easy method, that of using free ads forums and classified advertising sites.
When it comes to placing free ads, it’s largely just a numbers game. The more ads you have circulating, the better the results. And there are countless sites that will let you post free ads. One good thing about a lot of free ad sites is that you can post your ads over and over again. Some free advertising forum sites allow you to bump your ads up to the top just by making a quick reply to the thread in which your ad is posted.
It’s easy to find sites to post your free ads. You can use Google or basically any search engine to do searches for terms such as post free ads, free classifieds, free advertising forum, and so on.
Persistent effort is the key to be successful with free ads. You pretty much have to post day in and day out. If you track your results, you’ll quickly learn which sites and what times are the most effective for placing ads. Getting a feel for the best sites to post ads will save tons of time and make your life easier.
In the end, your offer will largely affect your success when it comes to free advertising campaigns. Advertising something that has wide appeal and is also free, will likely yield the best results. Offering something that would appeal to other advertisers and webmasters is a good thing, because those are the people that spend the most time at free ad sites. If you are offering something related to advertising, particularly free advertising, your ad will very likely be successful.
While posting free ads may not be the most effective traffic generator, it can certainly be effective enough to start pulling in some good targeted traffic, especially if you make the effort to do it on a consistent basis. And combining this method with other forms of free advertising, such as using forum signatures, social bookmarks, submitting articles, etc., it is quite possible to get a brand new or unnoticed site off ground in just a few short months.
