Start Your Site FREE! How to promote your website without spending
money...
Being the
owner of 3 sites it is easy to say I need to get creative in finding
ways to try and advertise my sites. I do pay to promote my sites
on other websites, and also do some pay per click sometimes too,
but I soon learned there are many FREE methods of advertising
available.
I want to
share with those of you whom do not already know about how to
look for free advertising methods. A lot of times a site will
offer at least one type or more of some type of free advertising
ways for you to promote your site. This is a great way to gain
extra exposure for free. You just need to know where to look!
I have listed
below the most common free methods that I have found:
1) Link Exchange
- this is where you place your text link on the person's site
in exchange for you placing their link on your site!
2) Banner
Exchange - Again, like link exchange but you swap banners or button
sized images, which is usually more exposure then just a text
link exchange.
3) Weekly
or Monthly Stories/Articles - This is where you can submit a work
at home story or article you wrote. If your story is featured
you will usually receive a link to your site for the credit
4) Top Sites
List - add your banner freely to top sites lists. You can get
your banner raised higher by putting a vote for you button on
your site.
5) Free Classifieds
- Many WAHM websites offer a free classified section which usually
has a work at home opportunities and sometimes a shopping/selling
board too!
6) Webrings
- You can make a webpage to place all your webring codes on so
you can participate and add your site to as many webrings as you
can that interest you.
7) Become
a site's partner - Some sites have an area for you to become a
partner with that site, this is usually for those whom own their
website fully though. Each site has their own rules on becoming
a partner.
Good luck
in promoting your site and don't forget to check for all the free
advertising methods I mentioned above the next time you visit
a website.
