Online advertising can be costly; however, there are quite a few
techniques for online advertising that are absolutely free. While
there may be some upfront costs for the preparation of online
advertising materials (unless you prepare them yourself), the
fact that there are no monthly fees or cost-per-click fees
associated can save you tons of precious dollars that you would
normally spend on online advertising. The two most highly
productive online advertising techniques that don't cost anything
are obtaining an organic search engine listing and distributing
expert articles with the rights to republish the articles. Other
low-to-no cost online advertising options include link exchanges,
banner exchanges and participation in online forums.
Organic placement in the search engines is a form of online
advertising that doesn't cost you anything except perhaps the
upfront costs of search engine optimization. To maintain the
position in the search results, you need to continually monitor
your search engine advertising results, but most likely you can
maintain the position yourself rather than paying ongoing fees.
Participating in online forums about online advertising is an
excellent way to get new ideas for your online advertising and
for new search engine optimization techniques that are effective
as the search engines change their ranking rules. Such networking
activities keep you in touch with internet business gurus who
share their challenges and strategies opening up new avenues for
obtaining expertise rather than relying solely on trial and
error.
Another online advertising technique that is virtually free and
extremely effective is distribution of expert articles about the
industry for which you provide products or services. When using
expert articles for the purpose of online advertising, you
produce articles that have valuable content and include a
resource box that directs readers to your website for more
information or related products and services. This method of
online advertising is exceptional for promoting your business or
for promoting affiliate products and services.
There are a couple of advantages to using expert articles for
online advertising. First, other websites will publish your
article so you will benefit from their web traffic which will be
driven to your website increasing your own website traffic.
Second, link popularity, the number of links from other websites
to yours, is a factor in search engine optimization that is
considered by most search engines when ranking your website in
their search results. Because link relevance is also important to
search engine optimization, it is best if you can get your expert
articles published on websites whose topics are related to yours.
The question then becomes, how do you get your expert articles
republished? There are a couple of ways to go about that. First,
you can contact relevant websites by phone or by email with a
free content offer. Successful website operators know the value
of content for their websites and if your expert articles are of
a high quality and provide beneficial information for their
target audience, they will most likely be pleased to republish
them. When they publish your articles, you effectively get free
online advertising. The second technique for distributing your
expert articles is to post them on free content sites or in
industry-related forums.
The Warrior Forum at warriorforum.com/forum is an online
advertising related forum that has discussion boards that are
useful for networking with other online advertisers and even for
building joint ventures. They also have a free content section,
called the Warrior Article Database, where you can post expert
articles with the rights to republish. There are even links to
free ebooks and a free online advertising section where you can
post advertisements to be viewed by other forum members. There
are a number of other forums online including industry-specific
forums as well as free content websites that will make driving
traffic through the use of free online advertising techniques
easy.
