In the hub entitled, Advertise Your Home Business, Herald Daily offers a bit of instruction, along with brief reviews and links to a few free online classifieds sites.
According to Herald, "If you hope to expand your enterprise, you must spread the word and advertise your home business as much and as best as you can." The nice thing about his advice is that it only costs a bit of your time, there's no money involved. Pretty hard to beat free advertising.

A History of Advertising
History of Advertising
The Ancient Greeks and Romans had advertising, did you know that? Oh, yes. They would print their ads on papyrus and circulate them by hand or put them up on a wall for public viewing.
If you're interested, you could go to ancient Arabia or even to Pompeii to see still existence remains of advertising there.
These people put the 'history' in the history of advertising.
Boy, have we come a long way since that time. We no longer use paintings on walls to promote business and people, we have modern communications and Google for that.
This interesting article about the history of advertising is a summary of sorts. It takes you through ad development and is quite enjoyable. You'd think it a very long read but it's not. It's more like an abridged version presented in an entertaining fashion. It's worth taking a few minutes to read. Who knows, you might even learn something.

Traffic Exchanges and AdSense
There's a note at the top of this blog about NOT putting AdSense on any sites that you want to use in traffic exchanges.
The reason that I stress this periodically is because people who are new to AdSense or online traffic may not realize the harm they can cause to their earnings and their relationship with Google.
The Dangers of Mixing Traffic Exchanges and AdSense
The reason that I stress this periodically is because people who are new to AdSense or online traffic may not realize the harm they can cause to their earnings and their relationship with Google.
The Dangers of Mixing Traffic Exchanges and AdSense
- Google will not pay you your AdSense earnings
- You may get your AdSense account suspended
- It has the potential to affect your Google rankings
Google considers the clicks their ads receive via traffic exchanges to be 'illegal'. The reason for that is quite simple. They feel that the people viewing your ads are not organic, targeted traffic. They have not sought out the product or service that you are advertising and therefore are wasting the advertiser's resources. Folks pay Google to show those ads that appear on your site, so they are intended to have the highest conversion rates possible. If they are not being shown to the intended target audience, the impression is deemed wasted. Google gets testy about that.
If you are already committing this Google sin, take heart. You may be able to redeem yourself and get back into their good graces. Remove the AdSense code from your site if you want to continue using traffic exchanges. You can add it again when you are ready to use 'legal' means of generating your traffic, such as classifieds, Adwords or forum signatures.
If you have already received notice that your earnings or account is in danger, remedy the situation then contact Google. You may be able to reinstate your account. Many people have been in this position, accidently or intentionally, and have been able to rectify the situation.
