If you are reading this you are most likely a “connected” person and well aware of the benefits that can come by putting your business online, especially in businesses like ours (renting and booking businesses).

And one of the most important things on the web that will help you be successful is advertising and getting as many people possible familiar with your services and products. These days the problem are, more than ever, to get the desired search engine ranking, page hits and of course increase the number of leads. And all of that costs a great deal of money, especially getting new leads.

So wouldn’t it be great if someone gave you a chance to advertise for free and not pay for a single click on your ad? Yes it would and LongUrl.net will give you just that.

LongUrl.net in its core function works like any other URL shortening service out there. But there is a twist to this idea. Well with every URL you shorten using their service you’ll get a chance to put your own ad that will be show up at the top of the screen once users open this URL. Here is an example LongUrl link I’ve made so you can see it in action: http://longurl.net/ccode.

So if you are like me, and you daily post a lot of links (I do about 20 of them) why not use them as free ads for your service of choice instead of wasting them and giving free hits to linked websites.

As there are no restrictions where you can post those links places like Twitter, Facebook, blog comments, forums and other will become your free advertising places and people who read, follow and re-tweet them will help you redistribute the ad.
And who ever finds your ad interesting and clicks on it doesn’t cost you a dime but still counts as a potential customer :).

If you start enjoying this service there are also some paid models available. More information about those can be found here.

Hopefully this service will help you save some money during these hard times and bring some valuable customers.

If you have some great tip that can help others please let us know and will post it here, or let you write something about it.
