Tip: Another Good Resource, The Free Advertising Forum

The Free Advertising Forum is another great place to advertise. I have found that posting in the Free Advertising Forum is very effective. You must register for an account before you can post, but registration is free.

There are several categories to post you ads in, Computers & Internet, Money & Employment, Marketing & Advertising, Sports & Recreation, Business to Business, Health & Fitness, Home & Family, Fun & Entertainment, Society & Culture. You must follow the forum rules and post your ad in the appropriate category. You cannot spam the forum by posting your ads in all categories.

Try to come up with some good ad headlines as that is what people will see first. Try to convince them to click on the headline to read your ad. Make sure your headline relates to your ad copy as another rule of the forum is no inappropriate thread titles. Trying to trick someone into opening your post is not going to work anyway. No one is going to trust you if your ad copy is totally unrelated to your ad, such as what spammers do when sending bulk email.

So give the Free Advertising Forum a try. Be sure to read the rest of their posting rules before you begin. Not following the rules could get you banned.
