Are Free Internet Ads Really Worth It As far as most people are concerned, anything that is free and has a good page rank in the search engines is worth it. It doesn't matter if it's a free site or not. Honestly, spreading the seed around when it comes to your website is in your best interest anyway. So if you can find a good and honest way to spread that seed around - go for it! One of the best things you can do is to use Social Media, and Social Networking websites. These sites include the likes of Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, and Sokule.com just to name a few. The most important thing is that you do not spam. Spamming will do one thing - get people to delete your ad. So make sure you have permission TO post whenever it is that you are posting. Be sure to follow the guidelines at each site so you can really get all you can out of these free advertising websites . Here are a few factors to consider: Title: Your ad should have a title. Don't make it super short or really long. It should be catchy and it should be relevant to whatever your ad is about. Please don't try to fool people. For example, you are selling an energy drink, and you are posting a title that sounds a little too much like a title of an explicit website online. When people click your link and get to an energy drink website, chances are they will leave in a second. It's not what they expected, why would they stay! Body: The body of your ad or post should not be a 6 page sales letter. More important than not making it super long, it should not sound spammy. If you are writing to a person like they are only another sale, people won't be interested. Talk to them like they are important. Tell them why they need whatever you are selling. Also, if this is going to be public, include some of your keywords that you are trying to rank for and don't forget -- ADD YOUR URL! This is the point of all this after all.

One of the best things you can do is to use Social Media, and Social Networking websites. These sites include the likes of Twitter, FaceBook, MySpace, and Sokule.com just to name a few. The most important thing is that you do not spam.

Spamming will do one thing - get people to delete your ad. So make sure you have permission TO post whenever it is that you are posting. Be sure to follow the guidelines at each site so you can really get all you can out of these

free advertising websites. Here are a few factors to consider:

Title: Your ad should have a title. Don't make it super short or really long. It should be catchy and it should be relevant to whatever your ad is about. Please don't try to fool people. For example, you are selling an energy drink, and you are posting a title that sounds a little too much like a title of an explicit website online. When people click your link and get to an energy drink website, chances are they will leave in a second. It's not what they expected, why would they stay!

Body: The body of your ad or post should not be a 6 page sales letter. More important than not making it super long, it should not sound spammy. If you are writing to a person like they are only another sale, people won't be interested. Talk to them like they are important. Tell them why they need whatever you are selling. Also, if this is going to be public, include some of your keywords that you are trying to rank for and don't forget -- ADD YOUR URL! This is the point of all this after all.

Keywords: There will most likely be a keyword section in the form of the ad or post. Again, make sure that you your keywords are relevant to what your website offers. This is not only important for the people that will be reading your ads, but it's important for ranking as well! This rule also goes for categories. Post in a relevant section. If you cannot find a relevant section, pick the best category if the site offers these.

Pictures: If the social sites allow you to add a picture, add your personal photo or your business logo. Don't post a product you sell unless you are specifically posting an ad for that product! If you are advertising your business, put your logo up so it looks more professional!

These are a few main key rules to follow when posting to social site. Also, if the site has a privacy or FAQ section, please read this. Some sites don't allow certain keywords to be used or certain sites to be advertised. If you follow their directions, your ads will stay up for a longer period of time.

Remember: Social networking is called this for a reason. The social side comes first. Try to engage your audience in a conversation, you’ll find they will be more responsive later on.
