There's quite a bit of good info int he team resource site link at the bottom of this dboard page.
Those who are having some success with free ads may give advice but will not reveal where they are placing ads -- because then those sites would be overrun with SFI ads and be worthless to them. |

I have a question and a comment for you
I started the SFI program about 3 weeks ago. Since then I have gotten a free URL, done advertising on classified, done banner ads, printed flyers, posted my link and just recently submitted to search engines. I have done all this for free but the problem is, is that I'm not getting any "hits" whatsoever from any of these things. I am trying to promote ALL of the products, is that my mistake? Should I just pick one or two and do most of my advertising for just those? Maybe I'm trying TOO hard to make this work. Is that possible? Ok. those are my questions, now for my comment. I've seen alot of people saying how helpful you are so this won't be anything out of the ordinary. You are so unbelievably helpful. Everytime I have a question about something, I come to this board and find your posts on the subject that I need. You are really great.Keep up the great work!
I haven't been through the entire board yet so any thread you can redirect me to to help me along would be greatly appreciated. :D |

please help
I think I'm doing it wrong...when you are placing free ads you search for say "home business" then you go through those sites. Are you looking for classifieds within those sites? I've e-mailed a couple of different places about posting a link on their website and as you can guess this hasn't worked wonderfully without a webpage of my own to post a link to their website. I'm just confused on where I should be placing the ads, I'm not asking which sites are the best or anything like that...I'm just trying to figure out how you find classifieds within home business sites. I haven't seen any home business site that has say a classifieds link, most are selling their product and that's it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

feeling lost and dazed!
I'm new to this whole thing too, my biggest confusion though is where to find a web-site for myself. I read that you can't put the hit-tracking material on the web-sites SFI provided for you, so this must mean that people are using personal web-sites. I don't have a personal web-site and if one costs money, I can't afford to have one. So, if I can figure out how to have a web-site, I put that URL on the calssified ads? And then within my personal web-site, I would put the banner ads and such that SFI provides? Every time I feel like I'm understanding this I get more confused. Someone, anyone who can, please help!!!
Thank you, Lindsay Quote:

Submitting classified advertisements
Hi good people. I am new to SFI and have been reading your articles on free and paid advertising with great interest.
I am working this business part time and therefore do not have as much time to spare as I would wish. As it seems it is necessary to submit adverts frequently is there some way of automating this task? Is there any sofware that allows one to submit adverts to ones chosen classified sites? All advice will be appreciated. |

No Problem Lindsay
Hey there Lindsay,
It is a bit confussing. First of all, You dont need your own web site to use the hit tracking tool, or to even get started. SFI povides us all with 13 URL's free. To start using your hit tracking tool right now, get a sheet of paper, write down any 5 numbers you want within the range to be used, which I think is 01-99. But just pick five for now. The easyest way to start some free hits is to use some of the page exchange programs out there. They are free. Say you sign up for No More Hits.com. They will give you two links. One for your member login to the back office, and one to make as your browser home page. Everytime you open your internet browser, someones else's page will come up. Every two times you open you browser, Your page is sent out. So, when you sign up for these programs, write them down and give them a tracking number. When they ask you for your URL information, put the link to your FREE page in, just after your member id #, place the number you give that advertizer from your sheet of paper ".05". Like this, www.infocenter.1234567.05/FREE. Now, when ever someone clicks on that link form that exchange program, it will be indicated on your hit tracking page in the resourses area. Hope this helps. , or just reply here on the DBoard. We are all working towards the same goals. All my best, Buck sends... :F) Quote:

Actually....
You can use the hit track feature number ranges from 01-999, more then enough to put on one thousand different places . Of course you can repeat the ads, like any link that comes from your website use the same key code to know they come from your website. If you post regularly on a free ad website use the same number everytime you post on that specific place

The original post by Johann about free ads was posted quite some time ago.
More recently, he post that "free ads still work". However, free ads will work only if you place massive amounts of ads and keep placing them for some time. This is one area where massive action is needed to get results. |

free search engine advertising
See free search engine advertising of, "free ads still work". Johan, your free search engine advertising, for Yahoo certified make money potential keywords, is due to Yahoo's "search engine advertising logic".
Please note: Our search engine optimiaztion case studies have revealed Yahoo's "search engine advertising logic"!... ...Yahoo publishes advertiser sponsor ads where known traffic exists for keywords. Lots of requests (traffic) must exist for the keyword phrases: "free ads still work" and "small guide to free advertising". For example, Yahoo , listed & highly ranked "free ads still work" #1 of 31.7 million web-sites. In fact, Yahoo is utilizing, sfi, and other online consumer keyword searches. It's publishing advertiser sponsor ads to relevant keyword search engine category; "free ads still work" for possible generation of pay-per-click (ppc) residual income. SFI Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Notice: The Yahoo keyword search engine category. It's the same as title of the information "Johan" posted to the, sfi, dboard forum. Believe it fellow, sfi, affiliate program affiliates. Simple search engine optimization works. See the proof. Check out the link below: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=fre...&cop=&ei=UTF-8 Important note for, sfi, affiliate program affiliates: Don't submit direct to Yahoo, Google, etc. It's better to let the natural order of search engines work for you. List your website content with no human intervention. Believe it, you have proof the natural order of search engines will work for you. Simple search engine optimization Simple search engine optimiaztion, seo, begins by designing a search engine friendly keyword domain name. The website domain name must have the same keywords as the Yahoo keyword search engine category, for easy Yahoo listing. SFI affiliates must alos learn how to write search engine friendly content that's relevant to Yahoo search engine category. How, you say" By requesting, precise, specific, keyword searches within quotation marks that are relevant to keyword search engine category you want to target. Thank you, ABCOS seo Quote:

A webpage listed for a keyword may not be seen.
Just because you optimize a web page for a keyword that you know gets a lot of searches, may not actually get your web page seen, unless it is in the top 20 or 30 pages returned by the search.
Most searchers don't view results much beyond the first pageful (Top ten??) If there is a lot of competition, you might do better choosing keywords which you believe would target potential sales but with a lower number of competing pages. john |

Johan's guide to free classifieds.
Quote:
I have been reading your posts about posting in the free classified sites. Let me ask you when you find a free classified site, do you post TO all the other people's ads on that one classified site or do you post one ad in that specific category? Here's an example: Jeff's Free Classified ad site (fake url) www.jeffsfreeclassifiedads.com and there is a category on there that says Business to Business and there's 30 different ads in that category, do you post your ad to 30 of those ads or do you put one ad in that category then move on to the next free classified site? I am asking you this because I have taken the free classified sites on as a challenge for myself over this past weekend. I started using the keycodes and I've posted one or two ads at one site in 2 different categories. From that site alone, I've already gotten one sign up. This morning at 4 am, I had 8 hits with my keycode. I was thrilled to find out I had accomplished something that has been baffling me. This morning at 6 am, 14 hits. My adreline is pumped up! I feel like I've found my gold mine. I've posted to 2 free classified ad sites and I am getting results. Today I am going to write a letter to my downline and ask them to take on a challenge, write two ads and post them to one or two sites. Wait until tomorrow and find out if they've gotten any hits. I believe this will help motivate my team in doing the same as me. All the best! Jeff Anderson |

Janderson,
Like many other established, successful affiliates, Johan has not been active on the DBoard for a long time now, so I will answer this one. First, read the rules for the site. A very few require that you only post one ad at a time on the site, others require similar but looser restrictions, others don't yet care much. Almost every site requires that only one copy of an ad be in any one category. Some require only one copy of an ad on the whole site. Most sites will accept as many different ads as you wish to place, so long as they properly fit the category in which they are placed. Be on the lookout for special features, such as allowing a picture or allowing HTML in the ad. In your question, as you asked it, you should place one ad in each allowable category, then move to the next site. As long as the site allows you to post more than one ad, that means, for example, that you could post an ad for NOC, one for our ISP, and one for the FREE gateway in each allowable category, so long as each ad is entirely different from the others.

-------- Sidebar here. I've started writing you about 15 times and removed what I've said so far. I end up not liking what I've been trying to say here but here goes.. --------- First of all, stop paying for those ads until you know they are producing. Paying for those does not mean you will be producing leads unfortunately. What you can do is go to your search engine and type in "free classifieds", save that page. Pick one or two sites, read the rules (very important). If they allow these kinds of ads then it's ok to post on there. I've already made the mistake of not reading the rules on one of them. Bam, got myself deleted from there. Now I read the rules on every site I find, the ones that dont allow work at home ads, I move on to the next site until I find one that allows these ads. I can tell you this, you are doing what you are supposed to be doing! Keep looking and you will find them. (This took me about 30 minutes to write..) goodness I'm tired. :) I hope this helps.

Free ads example
I am new to this forum, but I always have heard that if you give a man a fish, he will eat for a day, but if you teach him how to fish, he will eat for a lifetime. This makes sense to a point. I took my family fishing for the first time a few years ago and my daughter did not know how to bait the hook. I had to bait it for her then get the fish off, too. She caught a fish every time she dropped the bait into the water and I didn't have time to do much fishing. I say this to illustrate a point. When a person who doesn't know how to find a free ad site that works and asks for an example, just one, I think someone who has had success should help that person by baiting the hook (give them an example). Just one free ad site that has worked for you may make the difference in another's success and ultimately your success. Also, it would make a little sense to give an example of one of your ads that has worked, too. It can always be re-written to fit the advertiser's needs.
May you be blessed in everything you do. Philip |

The Thorny Question Of Free Ads
Do free ads work or not?
This is a question that many have asked - unfortunately it is not always possible to give a precise answer, this is because it depends on the product you are selling and the audience that your free advertising system is attracting. However advertising is free for a reason - the purpose is usually to get your email address and bombard you with offers, so the free advertising services use you as a potential customer, to bring in revenue for the site. The purpose is not for you to make money, so you shouldnt be too surprised when you dont! It really depends what exactly you mean by "free ads" - if you are referring to free classified ads, where you post your advert and must come back and repost frequently, then I would say you are unlikely to get very much in the way of results. YES you will meet many online tricksters who will swear blind that "it works", but in the main these are people that have no idea what they are talking about. You see people that run free advertising services are basically running a business. The idea behind the business is that you need so many people to post their free ads to get one person to pay for their advert. Its the people that pay for the ads that keeps the website running and make money for the service. The more members the site gets then the more money it will make, simply because of the conversion rate to paid ads, and because people are so desparate to get "traffic" and sales etc that they will eventually give the paid ads a "try". Now the person that is running the free ad service to make money from paid ads knows that most of the ads wont work - this is why the owner quit trying to promote programs long ago themselves, and started making money from the advertising service. Now its worth asking why these free ads type programs give such dire results. The problem basically is that to sell anything online these days you need truly huge advertising. So a few clicks here or there will do nothing - you need thousands of click throughs on your ad to achieve anything. Most paid services such as PPC will give you enough clicks to make that illusive sale, but unfortunately the cost per click will make the sales pointless, and you will not recover a postivie ROI. So how do you make free ads work? The key is to look at free ads a different way round. Remember the problem with free ads is not that "free ads dont work" but that its simply impossible to post enough ads to get enough clicks to get your product or membership program/downline to work. Its simple a numbers game and you need thousands of clicks for free to get the number of affiliates you need in your downline to make your "business" work. So how do you ratchet up your clicks so that you have literally thousands of clicks and ads all over the internet for free? One way is suppose you own the program - you are the guy that takes the money from the paid ads. You know that these wont work for the advertisers because their ad is only on the system for a short while, and they wont get enough clicks to get anywhere. However as the owner you dont have that problem, your ads can be on the system permanently, together with email ads sent to eveyone who registers. In other words reverse marketing is a very effective way to use free ads - the ads to you the owner are always free and you might even make a small profit from the paid ads. Another side to the question of free ads is to regard things as free that cost something. This might sound double dutch but we have already mentioned this above. If you run a free ads site is costs you hosting fees etc to run the service, but actually it is free in the end because there are enough people to pay you to make the service free for you Another example is when you have an autoresponder. It might cost you $20 a month for the service, but it is free advertising for you, because enough people will buy the products you are selling via your email messages to more than pay the fees. So I would say try and expand what you mean by "free ads". I know people that run safelist networks with memberships of over 100,000. They put their own text ads and banners across all the sites. Although the hosting fees costs quite alot every month, its actually free advertising for them because the revenue from the sites pays for the hosting fees. They cant put their banners and text ads for SFI across all the websites, and therefore they no longer need to go through the time consuming process of posting ads every week etc. So yes "free advertising" can work if you have a system for ratcheting up your adverts so that you dont have to waste time posting ads or even sending out email, because it is all happening automatically. |

I just want to add in
Another free way advertise your business is buy creating a blog and then sign up with yuwie.com and join social clubs. post the contents of your blog on the comment board of the club and add in your site links. I have done this with multiple business's and got great results espcially with the triple clicks and click bucks. post it on as many social networks as you can.
