Local businesses usually don’t have large advertising budgets. Large franchising chains, and brand names usually use their national advertising channels to compete with local businesses.
Internet advertising is becoming more popular for both online businesses and local small offline businesses. There are some quality local business directories online. One of them I’ve found recently is Kudzu.
Kudzu.com is an Internet venture owned and operated by Cox Search Inc., a subsidiary of Cox Enterprises, one of the nation’s leading media companies and providers of automotive services. So, it’s backed up with a well known brand.
Kudzu is running a special for a limited time. They are offering FREE Premium listing through 2008. I have registered my businesses last week, and already started receiving some quality traffic. I wanted to share this information with my readers since it’s a great value (normally it’d cost you around $750.00).
Click to visit to register your business for FREE (No credit card required, nothing to lose).
Here’s how your premium listing will look like at Kudzu.
Take advantage of this limited time offer and register your business for free. Every visitor helps for your business.
* Important Tip: You don’t have to own a local business to be able to register. One of my websites receives the most traffic from a niche local business directory site.

I am really excited about the growth of small business persons…I have always had a strong desire for a business of my own…but I went into military and had to put it on hold…but my family have always been entrepreneurs but at the time I did know it…I did a book report in high school and that is when I knew my family had been entrepreneurs for years..I am now learning about “blogs†and I have also discover another value tool for a non writer like myself call “Glyphius†check it out…
Kudzu is pretty cool, but I’m a little wary of something for nothing. I think if it’s a reputable firm that delivers results, small businesses are probably better off paying a little something.
There are ways to compromise, though. For example, PublicityGuaranteed.com generates PR placements but only charges once the article is placed.
Stuff like that, paying for performance, is definitely the wave of the future for small biz.
