If you submit your URL(s) either by hand or use a web submission service, or belong to any of the many affiliate programs, you should read the following VERY carefully! It will save you lots of time, energy, and effort. And it will also save you many headaches.
Each day the internet welcomes thousands of entrepreneurs each eager to claim their fair share of an incredible income. In life things happen in stages and in this article you are going to learn what really happens as opposed to what you may have been told by some shall we say "crafty" marketer's! Get ready for an eye opener.
I have seen time and time again, people lose motivation very quickly after they try marketing on the internet, and do not immediately get thousands of orders like they may have been promised. This is very sad as ( if given the honest information of how to properly market) many of these folks would be enjoying an abundant and blessed income right now! Here's what happens but doesn't have to happen to you.
When first starting out, most have little to nothing in their advertising budget. In fact most have to scrape together the funds to advertise at all. Some try to find free places to promote their web address. These people sit for hours and manually type their ads to list one or more URL's to the many "Free For ALL" or FFA pages. They sit back and wait for the big payday for all the hard work invested. Guess what, it doesn't come. Next they learn there are submission services that for a small fee, will do the submissions for them to thousands of FFA's, links pages, directories, search engines, and commercial newsgroups etc. On the surface this sounds like the way to go not to mention saving lots of time. Well not quite, here's what really happens and why you should give very serious thought to how your web address can actually be BLOCKED BY THOUSANDS of sites all over the internet! Make sure you know who you are doing business with or they may do more harm than good for your URL.
Many web submission services are nothing more than a person who bought a web submission software package and are using it to submit many people's sites. Many submission services abuse your URL in the FFA pages using the very methods in this article. This is one thing they do not tell you when they take your money!
As a webmaster, I have a very successful web site. Thousands each day submit a link to their web sites on my FFA links page. I'm happy to provide a free source of promotion however, like all things in life their are a few bad apples who are causing many honest folks to permanently suffer without their knowledge or approval.
A webmaster ads a FFA links page to his site for two reasons. First it is a great traffic builder. Second, in exchange for allowing posted links, the webmaster (under the terms listed on 99.9% of all FFA sites) will send (using a cgi script) a short confirmation of the successful post to let the poster know the ad was received. These confirmations often have some very good marketing articles, tools, software and related items to help anyone marketing anything online or off and shouldn't be overlooked. There are many free valuable resources on the internet!
Some people decided along the way they wanted to gain the benefit of the webmasters FFA service, yet didn't want the webmaster to be able to gain the benefit of the follow up confirmation email. How is this fair to the webmaster? Well as a result the webmasters quickly came to the conclusion that if someone wants to use the service but can't agree to getting an email confirmation, why then should they allow them to post any further ads? It sounds reasonable enough. After all it's much easier to just BLOCK the person from posting any further ads. It doesn't stop here as many webmasters share the names and domains of people who use fake email addresses, auto responders etc. and those sites get blocked on not just one, but THOUSANDS of sites forever!
