    Offline can be very effective for marketing your online business. There tends to be less competition, especially from other affilliates. I have done some marketing offline, but I usually target people who I know are net savvy (at least to some degree). The way I find these type of prospects is usually where a large number of public computers are readily accessible, like the library or workforce centers. On the sly I usually just drop market by leaving a few flyers at a time at the computer login desk, or on the computer where I know people will sit. Depending on the program, this usually gets me some quick sign-ups! It really all depends on what you're marketing tho. I'd say this technique will work best if you're marketing a product/service that appeals to the general public.

    Well, I think anytime you can tell people about your business then that's always good. But you have to be logical about it. For example, if you are a print company that can do jerseys and stuff, you might spend some time out at the soccer fields and hand out your card to some coaches that might end up buying from you later on. However, a mechanic out at the soccer fields handing out cards is far less likely unless he comes across someone who is having car trouble.

    Depending on what you are selling, over-sized postcards or flyers work well when left on a bulletin board.

    The majority of my advertising is free advertising so I would say it was effective, it just depends on how you use it.

    free advertising is effective if you know how to use it. Search engine traffic is the best.

    Really, ralikiti5812?

    Okay, why don't you give a few pointers to ibros on how to do it?

    Oh, and, organic traffic is not the best. That is, even if one is lucky enough to land high enough to be even seen.
