Free For All Sites (FFA's)
For those of you who don't know what an FFA site is, it's basically
a
website where you can post a link to your website for free. Generally
it is also posted to many other sites at the same time and hopefully
somebody sees your link...free advertising in other words. When
you
post a link, you are also giving permission (whether you know it or
not)to receive confirmation e-mails back from the site owner.
What seems to happen though, is many people see this as free
advertising and get angry when not only do they not see a flood of
sales come
pouring in, but they start receiving other people's offers.I know when
that first happened to me, I couldn't figure out what was going on
and
was frustrated.
Let's back up a moment and look at the bigger picture of what an FFA
site is and its TRUE purpose. The true purpose of an FFA site
is for
the owner of that site to promote his/her business. It's really
not
just because he's a nice guy giving people a free advertising place.
(If it was such a goldmine in pulling in sales, he would be doing it
himself). That is just the bait, getting people to his site to
post
their links, thinking they are getting free advertising, so he can
respond with "confirmation" of your link, and his business ad.
Those confirmation e-mails are NOT spam. You had to agree to receive
them in order to post your link. Who is reading these ads anyway?
Is
posting to FFA's a total waste of time? Not neccesarily, you
do get an
occasional sale, people do go to post their links and sometimes take
a
quick look through the links to see what's there while they're posting.
So what's the answer? Get your own FFA site to promote your business.
There are many excellent resources out there. I have found from personal
experience however, that many of the services offering FFA's sites, offer
a free version or a paid upgrade. The phrase "You get what you pay for"
comes to mind with these. I've used several kinds and found that the paid
upgrades more than paid for themselves in spades. Shop around however
to
compare between companies.
There are many other really good ones out there.
You can promote any product through this method; information products,
crafts, vitamins, whatever. You could have the very best on the entire
internet, but if nobody sees your offer, it's not going to get the
sales you desire. It takes traffic to get sales. These sites are options
for
driving those numbers to your site. Free classified ads sites
are also
in this same category with the same purpose and can be worth pursuing.
Best wishes to your promoting!
