What Is A Plugboard and How Can I Use It To Advertise My Site? 

by Stephanie Davies

♥ A plugboard, as they are termed, is a small script that runs on a website that allows you free advertising of your own website or URL.

♥ A plugboard has a set number of spaces or "slots" for advertising. Eventually, after you have been pushed up through all the spaces on the board, your own advertisement will be removed, and you will have to revisit that board and re-enter your information again.

♥ The most common is a button plugboard, which will require you to have an 88x31 sized button that represents your website. Once you have your button, you would upload your button to your own website server, or to a picture hosting service on the internet, and then place the URL to your button on the space provided in the plugboard. Then you would specify the URL to your own website as well. Then your button would be placed on the board once you submit that information, in the bottom space on the board.

♥ There are also regular sized banner plugboards that use 468x60 banners, which work the same way as the other plugboards only with full sized banners instead of the smaller buttons. You may also run into text link plugboards, which are much less common then the other types, however they are just as useful for advertising purposes.

♥ As plugboards are a free resource for advertising, they should be used if you encounter one. It never hurts to add your advertisement to a plugboard. You also may wish to bookmark the site that you have added your advertisement to, as you generally aren't notified when your add has been removed. Visit the site every so often to check to see if your ad is still there on the board, and if it isn't, take the time to re-submit your information.

♥ Plugboards are abundant on the internet, and can be found in a large number of places. You may also do a Google search for "plugboard" that will net you a ton of results for places you can list your website on free plugboards. Overall, they are a much-overlooked, and very positive method of advertising your business.
