Discover the True Purpose Behind Free For All Sites

For those of you who don't know what an FFA site is, it's basically a website where you can post a link/add to your website for free. Generally it is also posted to many other sites at the same time and hopefully somebody sees your link...free advertising in other words. This also creates backlinks to your website. When you post a link, you are also giving permission (whether you know it or not) to receive confirmation e-mails back from the site owner.

For people new to all this however, it can be baffling. Sometimes they are angry when they not only do not see a flood of sales coming their way from their posting, but they start receiving other people's offers instead. It can be quite frustrating for a newbie.

Let's look at what just happened and the true purpose behind a FFA site. The real reason for a FFA site is so the owner can promote his products and services to the poster. They are not just being nice people who give free advertising space to others, if it really worked, they'd be diligent in doing that. When people post on their page, that's the bait so they can send their confirmation emails with their offers to you.

These confirmation emails are not spam, as you had agreed to receive them in exchange for the privilege of posting on their site. Who reads these ads? Are posting on FFA's a total waste of time then? Not necessarily, occasionally you will get a sale or two. People do come back to repost other links and sometimes do look through the links to find where their own ads are located, sometimes finding your posting.

So what's the answer? Get your own FFA site to promote your business. There are many excellent resources out there. I have found from personal experience however,that many of the services offering FFA's sites, offer a free version or a paid upgrade. The phrase "You get what you pay for" comes to mind with these. I've used several kinds and found that the paid upgrades more than paid for themselves in sales. Shop around however to compare between companies.

You can promote any product through this method; information products, crafts, vitamins, whatever. You could have the very best on the entire internet, but if nobody sees your offer, it's not going to get the sales you desire. It takes traffic to get sales. These sites are options for driving those numbers to your site. Free classified ads sites are also in this same category with the same purpose and can be worth pursuing.
