FFA Links simply stands for Free For All Links.

The best way to utilize this type of a service is to be the one owning the link page. If you are the one submitting to others link pages, it is not very effective.

The whole purpose of the FFA link pages is to have the permission of your link submitter to send them an email. Of course the submitter thinks he is getting the advantage of a free link from your site so he agrees to this.

Not all FFA Link Pages are FREE, some cost money so watch carefully.

A Strong Warning

If you use any of the millions of FFA FREE submission services, be aware you will get TONS of email back with every scam, scheme, and deal known to mankind.

If you have autoresponders set up and automatic kill features on the email you use for submitting, there are ways to take advantage of this, but if you don't, look out!

You will literally be inundated for 6 months with hundreds if not thousands of emails every day.

How do I do it?

If you decide you want to go ahead and set up a FFA links page as a traffic generator, the best way is to join a commercial service.

Some of these services force you to use their replicated sites, and some give you the CGI to put the system in place on your own server. I recommend the ones that let you put it all on your own server so you don't need to have all the junk advertising of someone else's commercial site.

There are systems that allow you to host a FFA Links page service. You can then tie into services that will have people send links by the thousands for a Free placement. On each ad that comes in, you are authorized to add them to your mailing list and send them your offer. It is a shotgun approach, but it can be very effective.

Reciprocal links can also be done in this case. People want links to their sites from other sites regardless of who it is as it can help to improve your search engine rankings when you have lots of people linking to you.

As your site traffic picks up, you can start to sell priority link space and put all your paying customers in priority placement on your FFA Links page.

FFA Link ad customers can also turn into e-zine classified ad customers. Fantastic revenue producers.

Mostly used by business opportunity seekers and such, so the odd legitimate company that gets involved, tends to get a lot more attention than all the riff raff get rich quick schemes.

Submitting your ad to all the other FFA Link pages can also be effective if you know how to deal with the thousands of Spam type offers you will receive.

We are not really sold on FFA Link pages as viable real business. We think a well done reciprocal link program can have more impact on your site, but in order to maintain completeness, we have included this section.
