Are FFA Pages For You?

When you post to an FFA page, you agree to receive an

email from the 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 the 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 the site

in order to post their link.



This has changed drastically over the years. Yes, you

can still visit the 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 the site anymore.



2. Nobody ever sees your link.



3. Your link stays on the 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 the 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 the next one. Stick to the ones that

supply a link to a web site on the Internet.



When you do find one that you want to investigate further

look for a couple of major items on their site. If you

can't find out who owns the site and/or an email address

to contact them with, don't waste your time or money.

Even if you do decide to join, you will probably be left

to flounder on your own. You need to know that someone is

going to be there to help you when you have a question

or a problem.



Can you figure out what product or service they are

recommending and can you get enough information about

it so you understand it? No! Next!



Look at the commission schedule. If it doesn't pay on more

than one level and pay at least 20%, don't waste your time.



If you have made it through all these tests and you are

still interested, don't stop yet. If you have any

questions - no matter how stupid you may feel they are -

email the owner and ask. The only stupid question is

the one that didn't get asked.



In summary:

Be absolutely sure that this sounds like something

that you think you can do and want to get involved

with. Don't just join things helter-skelter. Be sure

that you understand what you're getting involved

with completely before joining.



Following these few steps may save you a lot of time

and money. There truly are a number of good business

opportunities on the Internet. It is possible to make

money as long as you are careful. I wish you all the

success in the world! Happy hunting!
