Webmaster Resources for driving traffics

Several years ago, the founder of Wrigley Chewing Gum was on a flight from New York to his home in Chicago. The passenger in the next seat recognized the chewing gum tycoon and asked him a question. "Mr. Wrigley, I know your company enjoys over 90% of the chewing gum market. Yet, last week I read where you are increasing your advertising budget by over 30%. With such a large share of the market, why do you continue to spend so much on advertising? Why not save that money or use it for something else?" Mr. Wrigley replied, "how fast do you think this airplane is flying?" The man answered,"oh, I guess about 600 miles per hour." Mr. Wrigley responded. "I think that's fast enough, don't you?" The man agreed that indeed, it was fast enough. "Well then," asked Mr. Wrigley, "why doesn't the pilot turn off the engines and save all that expensive jet fuel?"

This little story, is to illustrate just how vital a consistent flow of advertising is to any business. It doesn't matter if that business is online or offline. It doesn't matter if that business is a small one-person operated web site like yours or a giant like Mr. Wrigley's. To be successful all businesses must advertise, advertise, advertise. If the advertising is weak, in either quality or quantity, the company's revenue will be weak. You must have well written ads and you must get your message in front of a lot of people. Selling is a numbers game.

The Internet offers a wide array of advertising venues: ezine ads, classified ads,FFA (Free For All) ads, email ads, banner ads and links on other web sites. Many of these venues are free and those that are not, are very inexpensive compared to the cost of offline advertising. By the way, offline advertising for your online business can be very effective, but it is very expensive.

In summation, I leave you with my mantra:

Promote, promote, promote! After you have set up your web site, it is time to makeit work for you. There are various methods of promoting on the internet for free. In fact the more effective methods are free.

Search Engine Rankings

FFA Secrets Revealed

Here is a little known FFA PAGE SECRET! Did you know it is far better to host a FFA PAGEthen post to it?

Let's think about this. When you post to a free-for-all site, you get one line to describe your site mixed in with hundreds of other links. What is worse is that the majority of FFA sites are never seen by most human eyes. In an effort to make better use of your time, most people like yourself are using submission software or services. What you end of with is a mailbox full of confirmation letters and you are probably noticing you are not gettinganywhere with it.

If you host your own FFA page, you will receive hundreds of posts to your page daily. Every time someone posts a link to your page, your confirmation (SALES) message is automatically sent to them.

For a better result, join a FREE FFA networks, that requires people to "validate" their email before they can post. This means a special code is sent to their email along with instructions. If the person was planning on using an autoresponder or a fake email, they will never get the message. This method helps improve the chance of someone actually reading your message.

Be the person who host the FFA page, not the person who post to the FFA page.
