If these methods are done well, it is probable that you will get
traffic. Some argue that the amount of time you spend using FFAs
would be better spent using a more proven marketing method. I'll
let you be the judge, but if you do want to try FFAs the
right way, the article below will give the FFA recipe for success.

I hope that you enjoy this issue,

FFAs Are A Waste Of Time...Or Are They?

This is the view held by many internet marketers although, on the
other hand, there are others who would say that it's a great way
to get traffic. FFAs have always been a hotly debated subject.

1) Your FFA posting will never last very long. As each new user
posts his or her an ad, so your own submission is quickly being
moved down the page. In fact, on most popular FFAs, your ad would
last no longer than a few minutes before being shoved off the bottom
of the page and cast into oblivion!

2) Your inbox is quickly filled with junk mail. The reason that
FFAs are free is that in order to post your ad, you have to agree
to receive "a few confirmation emails" from the people running the
site and their premium users. N.B. For "a few" read "hundreds!"

So, you post your submission on an FFA page and what do you get for
your trouble? An ad that lasts for about 10 minutes and an inbox
full of junk mail!

So, FFAs are a waste of time, right? Wrong!

There are a couple of things you can do, which will make posting to
FFAs more effective.

1) Keep submitting your ad over and over again.

The theory is that if you submit constantly to a large number of FFA
pages, you will end up with a decent amount of traffic. However,
whatever you do, do NOT try to do this manually! Automating this
process will enable you to submit to hundreds of FFA pages without
spending hours slaving over a hot PC.

There are many places on the Internet where you can get hold of FFA
submission software. However, my own recommendation is Roibot:
http://www.roibot.com/r.cgi?R22292_ROIbot. This program provides a
completely automated process for submitting to FFA pages on a
continual basis. You set it up once, and then it does the rest for
you.

2) Run your own FFA page.

This is a great way to generate traffic. You can usually set up your
page so that it has links and banners to your own site. And, best of
all, most FFA programs offer you the facility to send an automated
email to each and every user who posts to your page. Now you can fill
up everyone else's inbox!

Again, there are many sites on the Net which can offer you your own FFA
page. One of the best programs I have found is run by Multi Links.

So, posting to FFAs, a waste of time? Not necessarily. Not if you
go about it in the right way. Just follow the simple steps above and
make FFAs work for you.
