Running ADS Any new ideas?

I have tried the sites that you can advertise your site with free. I get a lot of traffic and no orders. So this has been an experiment for me this last 2 weeks. I actually signed up with several of the surfing sites that let you have your ads for free. You then are required to surf and look at others ads. I even upgraded with one who seems to be showing my free ads with fair results. While I had a lot of traffic, over 800 hits on 6 sites, no one was buying anything. I figured out they were just surfing for credits just like I was and not looking to buy anything.

Was it a waste of time? At first I thought so, but then I realised that I gathered some needed information about where to spend my dollars on ads, and that the free sites were not what they appeared at first. It all boils down to the best use of our time each day. Do you want to spend your time surfing looking at other peoples ads, or spend your tiem & money figuring out something worthwhile that is MAKING money?

Maybe others have had good success with these free sites, but for me it has not worked out. After 2 weeks and that many hits, the odds are not good in my favor. Had there been any buyers of any of the products, I might have a different prospect.

Have any of you used any of the free surfing for credit websites with any good results, and by that I mean purchases of your products?

If you have I would love to hear from you, and hear your comments on running ads with them.

I have added a new site for your review, again post a note and let me know your thoughts.

Happy weekend

Regards
Terrie
