I feel that participation is more fulfilling. I get to share my Internet business and marketing experiences and learn from others at the same time. Interacting with others also gives you credibility as an ebusiness consultant.
Free advertising is GOOD, but I can get more by being an active member of any forum. Besides, I would want people to be active on my site too.
By the way, I like your domain name
Ashley; it reminds me of my own
website.
And thanks to
Snakeair for creating this forum.
