they were popular in the early days of the web but I wonder who is still using these sites
and if so - which submitter /service are you using and do you get some results out of it....

Karsten,

Man, I haven't used FFAs for a very long time. I think like 1995 was the last for me because Google was changing, plus other SEs considered links and ads on FFAs to be spam. But, I did hear of a couple of people that I know that are still using them, and do get signups and sales.

The last submitter I used was by a Sabasten somebody or somebody Subasten. And no I don't know his full name or the name of the product.

Now I do have a very very old CD that has a submitter on it, but I wouldn't begin to venture where it is after I moved this last time. You could probably Google for one, or have you tried that?

lol ... Useless things .. always have been... They do nothing at all for you and certainly dont give you traffic. I have not even looked at a FFA site in many many years.

There are no results with them and never have been, search engines look at FFA Farms as a Spam Farm and will not count those links...

Yes I know but the fact is I rather have quality traffic and keep my reputation. Those places are bad news and that is not just your site on the line but also your reputation...

You can always build a new site but you can't always rebuild your reputation...

Now of course some will say use a pen name.. Ok fine use it, if someone finds out its you then you look even worse for trying to hide something... Personally myself I put my name on everything I sell.

I only sell my own stuff though, I do not do any affiliate stuff...

Well then......
If you have several hosts.....you can develop a program (catch page) depending on your niche and products....
To gather subscribers and not endanger any of you primary sites....

Sometimes you have to think "outside the box"

Again in all fairness ...not the best method to build a business...

The (FFA) free for all pages would get cluttered with more and more aggressive ads until it became useless and full of porn sites
A free for all page allows any person or mechanized worm to list a link on a page. This has no human intervention and your site may list between the MLM work at home and the Illinois Nazi sites.
