[A276]Advertise My Business For Free

by Leon Klepfish, Leo

One of the ways to do free internet business advertising is to create hub pages on other websites. A lot of different websites these days allow you to create a profile and add content, just like you would on a blog. You can generate a lot of website traffic for free by creating hub pages on websites relevant to your business. You can write content that's promoting your website and that makes other people interested in it. You also get one way links from those pages that are great when you want to rank higher with the search engines.

Social marketing is a popular and smart way to advertise your business online for free, and hub pages are included in this. Social bookmarking is another part of social marketing and when you join social bookmarking websites you are able to both get one way links to your site and you can also submit your website or a part of it and in this way have people interested in the information and be redirected to your website. Some of the most popular social bookmarking websites are Digg, StumbleUpon and Reddit but there are hundreds of them and you can find sites that are either of a general nature or more niched. On these sites you are able to add tags to your submitted sites that makes people searching for content related to those keywords find your website easily.

By using these tools you can really get a lot more visitors to your website, and the best thing is that this type of internet business advertising is free. Not only do you get a lot of web traffic, but you also generate a lot of backlinks, or links back to your company's website, and this helps with your site's search engine rankings. Create a profile on some of the most popular sites and let this be one of the ways you are using to do free internet business advertising, along with other great tools, such as article submissions to some of the article directories and submission of your site to some of the great amount of web directories there are on the web. It is well worth the effort if you want to have your internet business being seen by others.

I bet you thought that was against eBay's term of service right?

Not exactly....

If you utilize a little known loophole in eBay's listing policy you will have the opportunity to expose your website to dozens, or hundreds of new customers every day.

A quick look at the eBay linking policy shows that you are allowed "one link to your email address that opens an email client for potential buyers to ask questions about the item in that listing". Now many people simply use a text link saying email me, and those afraid of an influx of spam email might use a generic address like ebayquestions@hotmail.com, but by doing that you are missing a prime opportunity to advertise your business directly inside your eBay auction listing.

If you use a text link formatted like ebayquestions@mywebsite.com your website URL will appear right in your listing without violating any of eBay's listing regulations. Any reasonably intelligent eBay'er will know that if they plug the URL mywebsite.com into their web browser they will be directed to your own private website.

I actually format my links like this: ebayquestions AT mywebsite.com. I have tested this format and it actually produced 11% more clicks than the first format and it cut down on problems with the email harvesting programs running through cyberspace.

Most web surfers see hundreds of links a day formatted generically and tend to overlook them. My non-scientific guess as to why my clicks increased is by using the word "AT", the format looks unorthodox and attracts visual attention to the text of the link itself.

So take a few minutes, revise your eBay listings, and start generating some free traffic to your website...all courtesy of eBay.
