There are four different types of free advertising online that actually produce results. These free advertising methods are the only methods you should use to advertise your website, products, and services online.
Most other free advertising methods just don’t work. If they do, I will definitely inform you of the ones that do on my blog at http://www.WebMarketingBusinessTips.com. But here’s the four FREE types of advertising that REALLY WORK online guaranteed!
#1 Free Banner Advertising
Banner advertising is when you pay a company a certain amount of money to display your banner ad on a network of websites for a certain amount of views. It’s really an Internet billboard. When you pay for this type of advertising you pay for a certain mount of views. When a certain number of people view your ad the banner comes down. Sometimes you can pay per click (meaning instead of paying for views, you are now paying for a certain number of clicks on your ad). When you reach that number of clicks your ad comes down. Simple as that 
FREE banner advertising works a little different through free banner exchanges. Free banner exchanges work by you joining a network of other advertisers (who’s number can be countless) who are willing to place your free banner ads on their sites if you place their free banner ads on your sites. Every time someone sees one of the pre-loaded ads on your site, someone sees your pre-loaded ad on one of the websites throughout the entire free banner exchange.
It’s a win-win-win for all. You get free advertising, the network gets free advertising, the web site visitors get targeted ads that are unobtrusive.

#2 - Free Safelist Advertising
Safelists are email lists of targeted prospects who are all willing to receive email from members of the safelist itself. Instead of spamming people and getting in trouble for unethical advertisements, you can join a safelist. A safelist is a list of advertisers who all want to advertise their products and services for free. When you join a safelist, you agree to receive ads from all of the other members of the safelist.
The good news is all of the members on the list also agree to receive YOUR ads as well. Every time you send an ad your account with the safelist is tagged letting the system know you sent your ads and that you will not be able to broadcast another message to the list for a specific pre-determined period of time which is generally seven days.
In other words, you can broadcast your marketing messages and advertise to these lists totally free once a week.
You can do one of two things when sending ads depending on the type of safelist you join.
If you join a normal safelist, you will generally be able to send your ads in certain time intervals such as every 2, 3, 5, or seven days. Since this is the free option you’ll be using chances are you can only send every seven days.
If you join a credit based safelist this means you get a certain amount of credits every time you read someone else’s ad as long as you click the link inside of that ad that says “Click here to earn credits”.
The way these safelists work is you only get to send your ads to as many people as your credits allow. You only earn credits by opening the email ads you get and clicking the link as stated above. The good news about this is now people have at least an incentive to open your email ads. Now they HAVE to be exposed to your marketing messages otherwise they don’t get what they really want (which is the same things as you – more credits to send more ads) 
Generally one credit equals one person you can send your ad to. However, the good news is that for many of these safelists you will receive hundreds of credits per email ad you open and click on. So the credits add up very fast
This is also in time intervals but they are all different. Some free safelists that use credits let you send every day. It all depends on which free safelist you join.
There are many kinds of safelists, but just so you go with the right ones guaranteed to give you the best results, choose popular safelists from the list below.

#4 - Free Traffic Exchanges
These aren’t really just free advertising. These are actual web site traffic generators. However, they work. All you do is join the top traffic exchanges online, list your site, browse the traffic exchange, and watch as others do the same for you and land on your website!
There are many free traffic exchanges online but only a handful are worth your time and effort (especially since getting lots of traffic from these methods can cost you lots of time).
A traffic exchange pretty much works in the way the name is said. You simply exchange traffic with other webmasters. You visit their websites, they visit your website. You stay on their site about 10-20 seconds (depends on the rules of the exchange) and you get credits for viewing pages. The more credits you have the more visitors you receive.
It’s as simple as that. The key to making them work is to simply keep browsing and surfing their sites. Don’t get stuck reading their offers as many of them are quite compelling and you’ll find yourself spending your advertising time getting sucked in to their marketing messages. Before you know it you will have wasted two hours getting nowhere. Don’t do that.
Here are some of the best high traffic free traffic exchanges online that produce positive results consistently:
Remember, not all free advertising is created equal. The above methods of getting free advertising for your websites, products and services are the absolute best available to you online.
