subject: Free Advertising Helpful For Sites Strapped For Cash [print this page] As people are striving to increase awareness of their products to potential customers, its becoming quite clear that advertising can be quite expensive. There are many forms of advertising, and depending on how much someone wants to spend or what kinds of people they want to reach they can choose from a variety of different option to suit their personal and financial needs. Some advertising, such as putting ads in trade magazines or setting up a book at a trade show can be affective to an extent, and often times come with a huge price tag. Other advertising, such as the use of television and the radio are very expensive and smaller businesses or services dont have the money to put into these types of advertising. Thats where free advertising comes in, and usually can be quite effective at providing internet websites with an increased number of hits per month.
There are many websites out there offering different levels of advertising but few of them have the ability to provide a business with possible free advertising. Paying a small fee per month is typically much more effective at increasing the level of hits a website gets each month, and an advertising site does so by applying different factors regarding the advertisement itself and how it appears on a site. By making the text of the advertisement itself bold, or by using graphics and pictures in conjunction with text, a site that specializes in advertisement can increase the amount of clicks a link receives, thus increasing the amount of hits a clients website receives on a month basis.
A free advertising option is available for someone who does not have any money to put towards advertising, or someone who is just starting out and perhaps wants to test out the waters of internet advertising. Although this mode of free advertising is typically not the most affective, and is the most simple in terms of design and appearance, it will definitely increase the amount of hits a site gets by some extent. Usually these sites allow for this type of advertising being free by asking the advertised website to add a link to the website doing the advertising, so in a way they are mutually helping each other by providing more hits for each website. This type of advertising does not employ the use of bolded words, graphics, pictures, or the position on the site itself to increase hits, as these sorts of features are only available to customers who agree on paying a fixed monthly charge, typically priced very reasonable.
For someone who does not have any money to put towards advertising, this type of free advertising is definitely better than no advertising, and although it may not generate thousands of additional hits per month, its still an option to consider and costs absolutely nothing. By posting a link of the advertising website on the site to be advertised, a link can be put up on the advertising websites page and thus act as a free sort of advertising.
