Do ffa leads work?

Ffa leads or free for all links leads are the email addresses of those who have posted free ads on free for all links pages. Usually these online marketers will respond to sites which say something like "Place your ad on 1000s of websites in one click!." Most of the time these services such as Worldsubmitter or Lead Club will place your ad on 1000s of free for all links pages. Usually links rotate off on free for all links pages. Sometimes your ads will stay on for only a full minutes! As you can see, to get any benefit to promoting your site on free for all links pages your campaigns have to be constant and massive.

Most experts believe that placing ads of free for all links pages is rather marginal advertising. The reasons are that nobody really every sees your ads because they rotate off too fast. However, is this true? Actually these ads are often seen. Not by the public but by the owners of the free for all links site. Smart marketers will use free for all links marketing to market to page owners not to the general public. So who are the page owners? They are other marketers. So if you have products which would appeal to other marketers free for all links advertising is not a waste of time.

If you are trying to sell real estate in Nova Scotia free for all links advertising is probably a waste of time. However, if you are selling a new internet marketing tool or software you might do well with this type of advertising. When you submit your ad your must use a service which submits to massive ffa networks. It is also good to offer something free in your title. "Free ebook, Free software, free leads, etc." Your idea is just to get their attention to draw them to your site and to stand out from the other links. We have actually used tracking urls to track our campaigns and we have consistently received hits when offering 10,000 free leads.

You may receive some traffic from posting your ads on free for all links pages if you offer something for free like free leads and your product appeals to online marketers. However, we have had even better results being the owners of the free for all links pages. You see when online marketers place their free ads on free for all links pages they do so in exchange for giving their permission to receive a one time email advertisement from the owner of the pages. You can join FFA Networks such as Lead Club and they will give you your own ffa page and they will drive about 2-4000 posts to your page per day. You then get to collect the email addresses of all those who posted an ad on your free for all links page and send them a confirmation email with your advertisement attached. This is called reverse advertising.

When sending out your confirmation email keep in mind who your audience is. They are other marketers not just the general public, For the best results your ad should appeal to other online marketers.

Some internet marketing experts complain that people just use junk email addresses when posting to the free for all links pages. This used to be true. But, now for their ad to appear on the free for all links network they must confirm their email address, This means they have to go to that email account and read the emails. That is why it is so important to have a real catchy subject in your email. Usually offering something for free works well.

We have tested ffa leads over and over and we have often had better response to these leads than to the more expensive surveyed leads. People read those emails. It is just up to you to have something very interesting to catch their attention.
