I copied a interesting question from a forum that I go to regularly.  I feel like the answer that I gave is very helpful when people are starting to promote their sites.

The thread copy is this: How can I make sales without paying Google so much money?

One answer was given as:

Its simple to make sales without purchasing/paying for those ads but it takes plenty of research….I personally help people through my website to get free advertising and floods of traffic to their Business…The website lists only the best resources for Google,Ebay,Classifieds and more….Some sites let you place ads that run up to 360 days free…visit the site…what you need is there

I can also place a link for you on my site….lets do the link exchange if you are interested.

The answer given to this post is:

Well I hate to rain on anyones parade but you have to do some serious research when it comes to link exchanges. Most people have absolutly no idea how it is viewed by Google but they dive in anyway. Link exchanges used to be popular, but Google has started to discount them and will soon disregard them in the future. Most people want to do them, because they are easy, easy stuff has a gravitational pull for most. The problem is when you sign up for “instant backlinks” is that you have no idea where your links are coming from until they start showing up. Links on link farms stink, and you really need to know where your link is placed. Its called theme relevancy. If your site is about kitchen gadgets and your link is on a computer site (with no page rank or authority) guess what your link relavency is? Yes you guessed it….zippo. That is because your sites are not about the same thing. Google has a bunch of brilliant people on staff, they know how to find people that are trying to game the system. Link building is a slow process is you do it right, you have to find or create good links to point to your site. Anything that says “free” “automatic” “easy” or “turbo” should be ignored.
