Free Classified Advertising

A: Posting free ads is still a good working alternative when you cannot afford to invest any money in your business when starting out. If you have advertised your site month after month with low results, then you are probably continuing to repeat the same mistakes over and over again. Here are some tips and tricks to avoiding timely mistakes:

• Get a personalized domain name:
  Why not use a free domain service? Because you want your own domain name, not a root from some other company's site! You want to pick a personalized name for YOU! Try picking out a name that catches the eye and is easy for someone to remember.

• Use a Hit Tracker for your site:
  You need to know where your visitors are coming from and how that found your site! Hitbox will help you track your ads. The free version will track up to 100 visitors per day!

• Start Advertising:
  Start out by placing 100 ads per day. Ad Wizard will help you get the job done a lot faster! Don't be surprised if you only see a handful of visitors. Next, write down the sites that produced visitors and place ads on those sites again, AND add another 100 more sites to your list, eliminating the original 100 that you used the first time around (except for the ones which produced visitors). Keep repeating this process until you have found at least 30 to 50 sites which bring traffic to your website. It may take anywhere from 10-25 visitors to produce one sign-up. Once you are at a point where you can spend a little bit of money, start adding a few paid classifieds to your free sites and build up your list from there. Always spend time looking for new sites. Why? Because as your profits grow, you will be able to invest a portion back into your business.
