The difficult part is finding the methods that work best for you. One handy method that often passes under the marketing radar is the use of classified websites to increase backlinks and help create organic traffic too.</p> <p>There is little difference between the traditional classified ads you see in a newspaper and classifieds on the web, except that you can post your ads for free on all the websites we mention here.</p> <p>Most people use classifieds as a way to increase backlinks. However, do not discount the organic traffic that it might gain you so spend some time writing your classifieds. Keep them catchy and try to come up with a good headline. Also, use your targeted keywords in classifieds as much as possible.</p> <p>There are a number of websites you can put your classifieds on but Craigslist is a good place to start. This will take a bit of work as there are hundreds of regions and you should post five or ten different classifieds in a number of different regions. Aim for the more populated regions and try to include keywords in your classifieds in all cases.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/50303-promote-your-product-with-classified-ads">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/50256-use-content-to-promote-yourself-in-the-web-2-0-world 2008-10-10T18:20:11Z David Skul <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6X-DHe3NWYM&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6X-DHe3NWYM&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/50256-use-content-to-promote-yourself-in-the-web-2-0-world"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/61037" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>The internet changes every day.

You can now get written, audio, and visual content about your product on the web for free. You have the potential to expose yourself to millions of potential customers.</p> <p>Blogs, social networking websites, and other products of the latest internet technology shift have changed the way we think about online marketing, and marketing in general. In fact, it is now accepted that traditional marketing techniques are losing their effectiveness as young people spend less time in front of the TV and more time in front of the PC.</p> <p>One of the most popular free ways to market products is on Flickr. Ultimately, Flickr combines social networking and media sharing by allowing users to upload photographs.</p> <p>So what does this mean for you? If you want to increase exposure, especially if you sell a product, you can simply publish product photographs on Flickr. If you can provide useful captions for your photographs, you'll be ahead of the curve.

But do you know why blogging is good for your business? Do you know how it affects your bottom line? </p> <p>Take a look at why blogging is a win-win situation for businesses as well as for their customers. </p> <p>Why Your Business Should Have a Blog</p> <p>Blogs are one of the best ways to broadcast information and establish credibility. Whether your posts include industry news or whether you provide valuable insider information, your audience will begin to label you as an expert. They will also begin to see you as a business that is interested in its community rather than just commercial activities. </p> <p>One of the most surprising benefits to blogging is getting media attention. Traditionally, a business would send a press release to media outlets announcing "major" news then hope they get featured. But a press release is just another form of interruption marketing. Journalists are bombarded with press releases. Most are simply promotional pieces disguised as news.</p> <p>If you are blogging interesting, informative, and thought provoking ideas, the media will come looking for you, without you having to pitch them. Journalists are looking for experts that know what they're talking about.</p> <p>Because of instant syndication, blogging is the preferred method to distribute content quickly, establish yourself as an expert, and get featured by the media.</p> </div> <a href="/blog/39458-understand-why-blogging-is-good-for-your-business">Watch the video</a> http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/36705-optimization-techniques-for-web-2-0 2008-07-11T08:31:38Z David Skul <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/gtXYugEFCs0&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/gtXYugEFCs0&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/36705-optimization-techniques-for-web-2-0"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/41318" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p>Although search engine optimization (SEO) remains as important as ever, the ongoing development of Web 2.0 technologies has changed the way we look at optimization.
