The Deception of FFA Advertising

FFA, or Free For All sites are the next generation of internetmarketing. Or at least that's what many want you to believe.FFA sites are places where anyone can post a short ad with alink, as long as they agree to accept emails from the site owner.Some of the most popular sites are(1)ffanet.com(2)myebiz.com(3)prolinks.com(4)kiosk.com(5)ffamailblaster.comAt first thought this seems like a remarkable way to advertise.But, there are major problems here.First off, the only way for the advertisement to work is forpeople to visit the FFA site where it is posted. But the onlypeople it seems that visit these sites are those that post an ad.To make matters worse, 99% of posts are done now throughautosubmiters. So who actually sees your ad? Absolutely no one.You may have received emails from FFA site owners of claimingthat advertising via an FFA is worthless unless you actually ownthe site. Their flawed reasoning (which I will explain shortly)is that as the owner, you get to post your own ads on the site,and better yet, collect the email addresses of everyone posting.Moreover, you receive commissions on anyone signing up topurchase an FFA site of their own.But wait! It gets better. The same people will claim that whensubmitting your ad, create a separate email account to store thelarge number of autoresponder messages you will receive and otheradvertisements. So, if you don't want your primary email accountto fill up, create a secondary account and simply delete theemails as they come in.Now i'm really confused. If people who submit to my now owned andpaying monthly FFA site, create a secondary email address tosubmit when posting, only to delete all of the advertisementsthey receive, why exactly do I want their email address?The entire logic of using FFA's for increasing site traffic andadvertising is severely flawed. Wha

's even worse is that mostsearch engines rank these sites lowly if at all. So whereexactly then do you advertise your FFA site?I performed a very simple test. I created a simple E-Zine sign upform, separate from my site, and used a well known autosubmitsoftware to "Blast" my add to the entire FFA network, whichclaimed millions of page views per day. Submission was done onceper day, at the same time for a period of 1 week. How manyresponses? 1! A single response that did not even sign up.FFA sites for advertising are worthless. You'll hear many arguethat they work if your careful. I would like to believe it would.Definitely easy to submit to and the exposure would bephenomenal. The cold hard truth is that they do not.Below are a few of what I find to be comical ad headlines postedat FFA sites. Enjoy!(1)"Get your classified ad in 5,000,000 emails and 111,000websites everyday for free without spamming". (If you follow thelink you find that what is being promoted is another FFA site!)(2)"$1.67=massive income" (I wonder if they know that this is notan equality?!)(3)"Getting 5,000 opt-in leads daily." (1 year amounts to150,000 subscribers. Just about the population of a small town!)(4)"Delivers an endless flood of traffic!" (Perpetual motion?!)(5)"Retire in months for only $6!" (The state of Florida is aboutto get an incredible population boost)(6)"The secret to getting a million visitors to your site!" About the Author
