BloggingI BIT THE BULLET and played guinea pig on this one. I received an email promoting free ads and checked it out. A link in the email connected me to miloAds.com. I was skeptical, but there was a free plan. I couldn't resist. Basically, you insert custom code into your website where you want people to visit when they click on your ad on another website. They place your ad – you design it – on websites hosted by other subscribers to their service. Their ads appear on your website. There's a risk. You don't have control over the ads that appear on your website. I'm sure that some link to sites that may be somewhat scatological, but no one has complained... yet. I've subscribed to their service about a month ago. Thus far I have received 433 hits that were referred by people clicking on my ad. That's about .32% of the total number of hits on my website during that month. It's not significant, but it's free. You'll note that one paid plan assures 1,500 hits per month (which would amount to about 1% of my website traffic). I'm not sure it's worth the cost... yet. My ad appears in three different size options on subscriber websites, and my website traffic reflects the number of hits generated by each one. I'm going to let this go a few more months before I do anything else with it. I'm already buried in deadlines and grandchildren. I'll keep you informed.

Free works every time. And in a world where we never know if advertising ever sells any books, a test for free is worth the risk, which is no risk at all. Let me know how it goes.
