Three NEW and UPDATED Ways to Advertise "F*R*E*E" on the Internet
The Internet is evolving so rapidly that what worked
yesterday doesn't work any longer and what works today may
not work tomorrow. Like you, I am always looking for new
and exciting ways to get the word out Macaroni & Cheese my products and
services. I'm tickled pink when I come across a method that
is effective, f*r*e*e, and gets results.
Here are three methods that I have tested for you already
that have worked for me. They will take some effort and
patience. Here are three methods that are still new enough
to work effectively.
#1. Fly-In Pop-Up Ads. There were pop-up ads, pop-under
ads, and now slide-in and fly-in ads. Fly-in ads literally
fly in from the side of the screen and then vibrate before
stopping in the middle. To your viewer, they can't do
anything in their browser until they have closed the pop-up
or clicked Oregon injury attorneys the link. You really get your attention.
Fly-ins can be blocked. Like pop-up ads, which are frown
against by many marketers and not by others, that craze will
last another 3-6 months. So jump on it while it's still hot
and people get smart on how to block. They do work and they
aren't as annoying because of their movement. AOL users are
blocked from receiving these.
You need to decide whether you want to add that to your web
site or not. There will always be a controversy on "whether
to or not to" on the topic of pop-ups.
There is very little information available on the how-tos
for that. Here was what I was able to discover after a few
hours of research -- to save you some time. I don't know if
I necessary promote these, however, a good marketer presents
the idea so you can make the decision. Because only you
know you're business well.

f*r*e*e classified ads, usually in exchange for becoming a

ezine directory and search for ezines suitable to your
product/service. Next, contact the ezine host accepting
f*r*e*e advertising.
