When you post to an FFA page, you agree to receive an email from
person who owns it. In exchange, your link is displayed on his/her site.Just how long does your link actually stay displayed?
When FFA pages first emerged on Internet scene, your link could be seen for as long as a week. Most pages hold between 50 and 75 links, so at least that many people stood a chance of seeing your link. That was also when people had to actually visit site in order to post their link.
This has changed drastically over years. Yes, you can still visit site and post your link, but it's no longer necessary. We now have sites and software packages that will automatically post your link to millions of FFA pages, Search Engines (large and small), Safe lists, Opt-In lists, Bulletin Boards and much more.
There is a down side to this automation:
1. Nobody actually visits site anymore.
2. Nobody ever sees your link.
3. Your link stays on site for 5 - 10 minutes, if you're lucky. Of course, it doesn't really matter since nobody sees it anyway.
4. There are numerous submission services and software packages you can use. By using these services, you could possibly receive thousands of emails introducing you to their business offers.
The only possible up side I can detect might be for a person who is brand new to Internet Marketing who is looking for a business opportunity.
If you choose to use a submission service or software package, I strongly suggest you don't use your main email account. Find one or more Free email accounts that are available, such as Yahoo, Eudoramail or Hotmail to just name a few.
As you research through myriad of emails be careful and picky. Check it out to your satisfaction, first. If all you can find is an email address for a link, delete it and go on to next one. Stick to ones that supply a link to a web site on Internet.
