Free For All Sites (FFA) are sites where a person is able to post a link with a short ad to a website, many times it also posts to many other similar sites at the same time, creating free advertising and free backlinks to the poster. When someone posts a link, they are agreeing whether they know it or not, to receive a confirmation email back from the site’s owner.

What seems to happen though is many people see this as free advertising and get angry when, not only do they not see a flood of sales come pouring in, but they start receiving other people’s offers. I know when the first time it happened to me, I couldn’t figure out what was going on and was frustrated at the results.

Let’s back the truck up a minute and really explore what just happened and the true purpose of a FFA site. The real purpose is for the site owner to promote his business or product to you. He’s just just being a nice person giving people free advertising space. If it worked that way, he’d be using it as his own goldmine. This is just the bait so people will post their site, so they can send their offers to you via their confirmation link. Brilliant isn’t it?

The confirmation emails you receive are not considered spam, as you had agreed to receive them for the privilege of posting on their site. Who reads these ads anyways? Is posting to FFA’s a total waste of time then? Not necessarily, as you will get an occasional sale, people do go back and post repeated ads and sometimes take a quick look while trying to see where their links are.

To get the real benefit of FFAs for your business, get your own FFA site so you can promote to those who post to it. Shop around among the many resources of them to find which suites you best. Most have paid and free versions, but the saying “you get what you pay for” comes to mind here. I have done several paid versions that more than compensated for their cost.

Many things can be promoted through FFA sites, information products, crafts, vitamins, and anything else you are selling. If you don’t have traffic coming to your site, it doesn’t matter how great what you have is, you won’t have sales. These sites provide methods to get traffic to your site. Free classified websites work in pretty much the same concept and can be another method worth pursuing.
