This thread (started in 2007) asks where to advertise for free. Free promotion still exists, but the real cost is time, content and credibility. Early replies touched useful points — mentioned classifieds, and warned about link-swapping and mass solicitation, and offered free space. The practical options below update those ideas with modern, low-cost tactics that produce measurable results.

  • Claiming and verifying a Google Business Profile and Bing Places entry; add photos, a clear one-line value proposition and a call-to-action.
  • Publishing one high-value asset (how-to, checklist or template) on the site, then sharing it to relevant communities (niche subreddits, Product Hunt, Hacker News) while following each community’s rules.
  • Writing useful guest posts or resource pieces for industry blogs and newsletters — target sites with real readership rather than link farms.
  • Using targeted classifieds and local community boards with honest descriptions and good images; renew strategically instead of spamming.
  • Listing in industry-specific directories and trade aggregators, keeping NAP (name, address, phone) consistent across listings.
  • Tracking results with UTM-tagged links and free analytics so time is focused where it works.

Cautions: avoid large-scale reciprocal link swaps or schemes intended to game search engines; those can harm visibility. Verify any “free space” offers for domain quality, traffic and moderation before relying on them. For fundamentals and policy, see Google’s Business Profile, the SEO Starter Guide and Google’s link schemes guidance.

I agree that you wont get your add on any of the realy good sites and from what I know link exchanges are pretty useless unless you can find sites that are related to your theme. Remember that in link exchanges you will be linking mostly with people like yourself. If you only want to get your site out there and seen on other sites then go with a link exchange. If you want quality and pr then try to find a diffrent route. What we do is write a general letter and send it to sites we would like to see our logo on and then mail it to them. We havent had to many responses but we have had a few.
