-Free Classifieds are more important than you think. They give
you experience writing copy before you plunk down hard cash on
more extravagant ads. Many marketers still manually post their
ads and browse the free classified afterwards. A few
interested readers will visit your site.

-FFA Links are important too. When you submit to the ffa pages
your website`s search engine position increases because it
links to more sites. (Although it is temporary and you`ll have
submit on a regular daily basis.) This will circulate your
name to a wider Internet market. And before submitting to the
ffa pages, get a free email account to receive the multitude
of ffa responses. You certainly don`t want these responses
mixed with your regular email account.

That`s it! Experiment with the methods above! And have fun
learning what works for you!
