The Truth about advertising in simple, you must advertise to
bring people to your Website. The Myth about advertising is that
it must cost a lot to be worthwhile.
In my many years working on the web, I have experienced multiple
ways to advertise my various websites. Early on, I was caught in
the hype of paying top dollar to advertise everyday for a
million or so hits. With no download required, I thought I found
my advertising answer for only $50.00.
For two weeks I merrily advertised my heart out, receiving only
4 or 5 hits a week to my website. In the beginning of the third
week, I went to the advertising site that took my money and the
site was no longer there. That's right-gone. Website could not
be found. In other words they took my $50. and ran.
The ten hits I received did not produce any sales and cost me
$5.00 per hit! Thus started by hunt for Free/very cheap
advertising
Traffic Exchanges: I tried them, but they never worked for me.
The reasons they do not work for obtaining quality leads/sales
are as follows:
1. You site must load fast or no one will see it. 2. The people
using the traffic exchanges are just clicking around like you
are trying to get credits. You may get hits but unless you are
lucky you will not get a sale.
Remember: You can get 20,000 hits, but if none produced a sale-
What good were the hits? You need quality hits not quantity.
I recently rejoined a popular Traffic Exchange. I wanted to run
a test and see how long customers stayed at my site. The result
55% of my hits stayed less then 5 seconds! The 55% all came from
the traffic exchange. Again, they were empty hits, worth nothing!
Here is what I found that does work! Google Ad sense of course
E-zine Publishing This I found to be the best either free or 2
bucks http://hop.clickbank.net/?works/paaads
http://subscribeme.net/ Automatic submitter- Great submits to
classifieds, FFAs Search engines in all countries for $10. a
month its well worth it. http://www.worldwidepromoter.com/
Blastomatic- good but not great, but I use it anyway. It is free
and it's Supposed to submit to 20,000 various classifieds and
FFAs. You will get some traffic...Free so why not.

Happy advertising and remember if you think you have to pay for
advertising Look for the free or very inexpensive type of
advertising. very inexpensive kind. They work.
