Spottt Launches, Offering Free Web Advertising for All

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Spottt, a new service that provides free advertising for website owners, launched today and is publicly available at http://www.spottt.com. Site owners, bloggers, and users of social networks can easily add a Spottt to their web page and receive free promotion from other Spottt members. Spottt is a creation of AdBrite, the Internet's Ad Marketplace.

"Many people want to promote their sites and online profiles, but aren't interested in paying money for advertising," said Philip Kaplan, creator of Spottt and AdBrite's co-founder and President. "Spottt's mission is to provide free advertising to this massive and underserved community."

The concept is simple: by joining, members agree to display ads for other members. It's automated, and uses a small snippet of HTML inserted into any web page, including blogs and MySpace profiles. The amount of free advertising members receive is directly proportional to the amount they give to others. Spottt ads are 125x125 pixels.

"Traffic is the true currency of the internet," said Kaplan. "Spottt helps site owners, bloggers, and social network users take advantage of their existing traffic by using it to promote their site for free."
