Newsgroups

Usenet has been around a lot longer then the World wide web, with thousands of topics in pretty much every subject you can think of. However, there are few groups in which you can actually post your advertisement and not be considered a spammer. Be careful when posting, and be sure to read the posting rules of that group before you post your message. Some groups will allow you to use a signature, and if you are posting relevant information concerning that topic, some of these groups will allow you to use a signature ( such as your name, company name, web address, etc. ) in which you can give yourself a little free advertising. Do NOT cross-post your message to newsgroups, this is one method of spamming and could get you banned from your ISP if they catch you.
