5 Little-Known Ways To Get FREE Advertising!

1) Sign guestbooks

You can sign guestbooks on blogs and websites. Usually guestbooks give you a way of leaving your URL in there. You could say you liked the site or comment on the topic posted. You can also comment about the graphics or the colors of the site.

2) Send articles to editors

Whenever you write articles, send them to editors of ezines. Ezine editors are always looking for good content to publish in their ezine, and if you article fits the bill, it could get published, giving your business free advertising. It’s a win-win situation.

3) Submit testimonials

When you purchase a product or service and you think it deserves your testimonial, give them one. Talk about how you benefited from the product or service, use power words if possible. Give them the permission to publish your testimonial and include your website URL with it.

4) Post in forums

Although this is not really a little-known way, it can still be considered underused. Forum marketing is one of the best ways to get free advertising. Post useful content and ask questions. Include your website URL in your signature file and it gives your website completely free advertising.

5) Write reviews

This is highly underused method which many marketers have not discovered yet. You can write reviews of products you have used on sites like Epinions and Amazon. The trick is to have your website URL as your username. If you write reviews on a popular product, your URL could be seen by thousands.

thanks!

good ideas there and you're right, I hadn't considered most of them!

time for me to get busy

 

Thanks for the post.

I really like the idea of writing a product review on amazon with your url as your user name

 

Here is one of my techniques that i haven't yet told anyone.

6. Search google for the following term "This is a WordPress Mu powered site."
From here you can find loads of free blog hosts (some on .edu servers) and easily create your own. Just create a disposable email account: http://www.emailondemand.info for the registration, and then make a post You could even link them all together so they get indexed more easily. A couple of days work at most

 

Sending articles to editors is actually a really good one too. A lot of people get so focused on the article directories they don't think about publications that would go along with their site/blog.

Good tips!

 

Every little bit of exposure counts, after a while these links and references build up...

 

Articles to editors is only one i have not done. Guest books simple but not much traffic on most. You can sometimes get a good link from one.

 

Good tips pal!

Article writing works well for me, but it takes a lot of time, and I get lazy to often,lol

Good post on the editors.For most of the time, the focus has been article directories.Few people think about ezine editors but i also believe they need good articles to publish in their ezines.
