I think this is the right place to post this...if it isn't just let me know and I'll be happy to move it.

I wanted to start a thread to get a list of the MOST HELPFUL free web2.0 sites out there for marketing (small businesses in particular). I know of a few (and I'll start the list), but please add on (especially lesser known sites that you think could be helpful...no obvious ones like myspace or craigslist). I'm curious to see what's out there. Please list the site and a BRIEF description of what it does/how it's useful.


PodTrac - Create and edit your own podcast and then link up with interested listeners in your marketing demographic. Fairly simple and very interesting way to use web2.0 for marketing (especially if you have some quality audio)!

DealLauncher - Create a free webpage about your latest special or sale, load in your email list and the site will send out a link to your new page to everyone on your list...eliminate printing costs and still professionally promote your specials!

Well I didn't get any forums but I did read the blog .It is correct .By adding your website URL in your signature vis the user CP,it is evident that you are definitely getting your website a backlink.The last time when Google crawled for pagerank and backlinks mine increased for both and the major links were from forums....
