Wow, that’s a mouthful isn’t it Roll Eyes

You may have seen some sites that provide free stuff and ask visitors to click on links to generate them some PPC revenue. This is kind of like what I am talking about but this is not permitted by advertising companies and can easily get you banned and maybe black listed.

Better ways are to imply that the user can’t get what they want off you unless they do something in return.

Examples are they have to link to your site to get listed in your directory or link to you to get an entry in a free draw.

One thing I am trying out at the moment is to get people to sign up for a series of emails about one of my programs and enter a free draw in return for me giving them free advertising on one of my sites. After all, I did alot of work to give them this free service and it’s still free, but I ask them to spend a few minutes reviewing my offer in return. Unfortunately, I can’t automate the thing so I have to let them proceed even if they don’t do what I ask because I can’t tell automatically. All I can do is make them think they have to do it Wink

Before I just hoped the ads on the site would generate revenue which they do, but it is pretty low from this particular site.

In magazines I see competitions where you have to answer questions based on information contained in an ad, this is another way to stop people ignoring your ads.

Has anyone else got ideas or experience of this way of marketing ?
