This site is dedicated to the memory of the victims: http://www.september11victims.com/september11victims/ This site is very haunting and it brought tears to my eyes.

Competition's High but My Prices are Down-To-Earth! Quality, Affordable & Friendly Ad-Writing Services! http://www.freewebs.com/suz1of6/ ========================================== Feature Article ========================================== Swap Ads for Free Exposure © Terri Seymour Finding effective and free advertising for your ezine can be very time-consuming and a lot of hard work. But on the flip side, there are many ways that are exactly that - Free and Effective! One of the more power-packed methods of free ezine promotion is Ad Swaps. An ad swap is when you run another publishers ad in your ezine and in exchange he/she runs your ad in their ezine. Ad swaps are a great way for publishers to: *Get FREE Advertising - You get your ad placed in a variety of ezines for FREE! *Make New Contacts - The publishers you contact can become a part of your networking list of names. *Find More Resources - Ezines are a goldmine of information and resources. *Get More Ezine Content - The ads you run in your ezine can provide useful content for your subscribers. *Build Relationships - I have made many friends and associates from the publishers I have contacted for ad swaps. To find publishers who also want to swap ads, there are a few things you can do. Visit Google and do a search for ad swaps. Also search for ezine directories. Often times, the publisher will state if he/she is interested in ad swaps. When you find publishers to write to send a brief but professional sounding email to see if they would like to swap. Let them know about your ezine and where they can read a sample issue. Offer various ad swaps to show you are willing to work with them for a swap that is beneficial to both parties. I keep a file with all my swaps printed out, with the dates they are to be published. This helps to keep organized and you also want to keep two or three issues ahead on your swaps. Another effective thing to do is to send each publisher a courtesy copy of the issue that contains their ad. They will very often subscribe to your ezine. Each time my ad from an ad swap runs in another ezine, I notice a surge in subscribers. Sometime the surge might be slight, as in less than ten subscribers, but sometimes it is a big surge, way up into the double digits. As I stated before, the benefits of ad swapping are much more than the free advertising, which in itself is worth the work. But the relationships you sometimes build with the other publishers are far more priceless than any free promotion you receive! ************ Terri Seymour has over ten years online experience and has helped many people start their own business.
