SSWT Internet Marketing Forum

I am looking for responsive ways to advertise my MLM opportunity for free or cheaply and ways that my downline can duplicate.

I have tried:

1) Google ads - too expensive for most good keywords
2) Search Engines - most affiliate/referral links do not get ranked although I do have my own site I work on
3) Safelists - a waste of time?
4) Yahoo groups - the same?
5) Hitexchanges - used to work but now too many and too many auto-surfs?
6) Ezine advertising - can work if targetted but solo ads can be expensive and other ads get lost.

So where does that leave the newbie wanting to build an online business

I highly recommend focusing on your own content site to draw free traffic in from the search engines, build your own list, and communicate with your target market. You can also use a blog, or a combination of both.

If you are going to pour your time & energy into something, make it something you have full control over and can get the highest ROI from.

I'm in the process of having a blog built which will automatically update itself and hopefully (as has been claimed) attract the search engine spiders as everyone knows Search engines like fresh content.

The blog will have affiliate products and adsense.

I've been really interested lately in blogging as a way to generate traffic.
