You've probably found this article because you did a search for "free advertising" on an internet search engine. You're not alone. Overture reports that close to 20,000 other people search for free advertising each and every month. People love getting things for free, especially advertising for their business.

But, is free advertising possible? Is it even worthwhile if it's free? Free is usually associated with low quality. After all, who would give away something of value for free?

Stop your searching now. I'm here to tell you that internet free advertising works – you just need to no how to do it. I will show you how to do it. Don't be discouraged when I explain to you how easy it is. It is easy and it works.

Simply go to one website, Craigslit.org. Craigslist provides free classifieds ads on the internet. Create an ad for your small business and post it in their "small biz ads" section. That's it.

I know what you’re thinking: "Not another classifieds ads website. Who spends their time searching for stuff on sites like that?"

You're right. Hardly anybody scrolls through the ads on the site. That's not why it works. It works because of another reason: Google. You know that Google is huge and billions of searches are done through Google each year. And, you know what? Craigslist ranks very high on Google. More often than not, a one month ad on Craigslist will rank higher on Google's search results than a competing website that's been online for years. So, if you, for example, have a law firm and place a classifieds ad on Craigslist's Small Biz section, the odds are good that your ad will draw more visitors from search engines than an established website of a competing firm.

This works, not only for law firms, but for any small business – real estate brokerages, marketing & advertising firms, auto dealerships, insurance brokerages, manufacturers, graphic design shops, sales consultants, financial advisors, architects, engineers, accounting firms, office furniture shops, and any other business can get free advertising that works.

The one and only requirement for you small biz ad to rank well is to make the title of your ad very descriptive because that is the main criteria that Google takes into account. Going back to the law firm example, it means don't place the name of your firm in the title. People aren't searching for your firm's name. Rather, the title must be descriptive; include the city that your firm is in and what you specialize in.

Of course, the title of your free ad draws the visitor to your ad but the body sells your services. Don't just create a great title; create a great body to make that visitor a client.
