You'll find a wide range of advertising methods on this page, most of which are FREE. Try out each method as a means to promote your web sites. As you become familiar with each method, you may choose to concentrate on the two or three you're most comfortable working with. Your goals are to have people see your site, get them to visit without ever spamming anyone, and to get a contact email address so you can correspond with, and get to know, this potential friend, colleague or client ...your absolute Top Priority. In so doing, you will be using the internet, your website and email the way they were meant to be used.

If you're new to the internet, I'd advise you NOT to jump right into a big project. Take it slow at first and stick with the FREE stuff out there. Believe me, there's so much free information available that you shouldn't feel obliged to pay for anything except your internet connection for a long, long time ...AND, if you're paying more than $9.95 a month for dialup service, you're PAYING TOO MUCH!

While surfing, when you run across a site you feel would be of interest to your visitors, contact the site's owner (if they list a phone number, call them) and try to arrange a link exchange. Agree to display his/her banner or text link on your site for as long as your banner or text link is displayed on theirs. This arrangement costs neither of you any more than the few minutes it takes to set up the link and can have a very positive outcome for you both. You might also want to consider joining one or more of the SITE RINGS that will be added to this page in coming weeks. Check back here periodically ...this site is an ongoing chronicle, changing and evolving as my activities on the internet change and evolve.

Now, let's go promote our sites!
