Armand Audrey Industries has a few ways of helping you to improve your business without having to shell out any money. First I'd like to say that as an entrepreneur, I personally understand what it's like to look for advertising and networking on a tight budget, trying to figure out how to get exposure and having to be creative about it, because who starts out being able to afford multi-thousand dollar advertising campaigns, right?

I use a variety of different services, social networking sites and web-rings, but I'm not the type of guy who's content to go with a cookie cutter method. If I can't customize it, I can't stand it. That's just me, of course. Different things work for different people, but because I want to help you all out, I've included this section for cross promotion, networking and affiliate marketing and a little info on what works for me.

Let's start on my homepage.(das Englisch webseite) Scroll down and you'll see a link for affiliates and an icon that says "The Armand Audrey Advertising Ring."

These are both good places to start if you'd like to network with me. I don't yet have an affiliate program, but will be getting one in the future. If you go to the Affiliates section you'll see several links. These are my affiliates. I also do banner exchanges, and can get your ad up on this page if you'll send me an email. Those who aren't familiar with banner exchanges, here's how they work:

You send me a message asking for a banner exchange, tell me a little about your site, and then I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Just go to the contact section and use the form or send me an email. When I get your message, if I like what I see and it fits somewhat with the format of Armand Audrey Industries, I'll message you back and we swap links. You can find ready made links to my site under the "Like us?" section on the homepage.

Now when I say "fits somewhat with the format," this isn't very strict. I'm not particular, and the standard webmaster common sense applies. Don't send me something packed with busted links, super low-resolution graphics that take six years to load, or more viruses than an "Economy" prostitute. Likewise, all websites should be similar (not exactly the same, just similar) in political and religious sentiments. If not, then they should be totally secular and apolitical. If you don't touch politics or religion, that's fine too. This is as easy as glancing through my products before sending a message. I don't want an army of clones, but don't expect a response if you have a pro-Obama or Christian website.

The next starting point would be joining my advertising ring. Just click the link the says "The Armand Audrey Advertising Ring" and follow the instructions on the screen. I have to go in and manually accept new members, so please don't worry if it takes a week or two to show that you're in.

After doing these, I recommend Google Adsense, if you haven't already signed up. Once you sign up, get Adsense for search, which allows you to put a custom search engine on your site. When you configure it, you can either configure it to search the entire web, or to only search within specific sites.

Configure it to search within specific sites, and add my URL, http://www.armandaudrey.com, and let me know and I'll add yours. That way when someone searches for something on either of our sites, results will pop up for each other's sites. I'll only do this if your search box is configured not to search the whole web, however, because that way the search results will be more refined and there will be far less competition.

Use MySpace? Add me and send me a message, and if you put me in your top friends, then I'll put you in mine, so long as you have over 500 friends. I currently have just under a thousand and growing in my friends list.

Thanks for visiting this page, and good luck with your website.
