I'm thinking about placing this video on the ActuallyFree.info home page because it lists in a nutshell many of the strategies that are described in detail at ActuallyFree.info. The only problem is I'm trying to avoid anything that might slow down the loading time. Until the decision is made you can enjoy it here.

Free Money Success - Free Website with Adsense
ActuallyFree.info received it's first check from Google in December! Whoo Hoo!
This demonstrates that it is possible to get free money by owning a free website and getting paid to place ads on the site.
You can find resources that offer free web space on the Webmaster Freebies page. The free website service that ActuallyFree.info uses is officelive.com. Although, if you're serious about getting a website, you might want to try some of the other resources available. Office Live is as user friendly as Microsoft Word, but its difficult to modify the website code. This limits search engine optimization.
The advertising that AF gets paid for is Google Adsense and a number of affiliate programs. All of which are free to join.

Truth be told, I had to pay for a domain name, so AF wasn't completely free up front. And the check I received was hardly compensation for the time that I've put into the site. I could theoretically leave the site as is and continue to get paid by google. But there are many more ways to improve and continue providing freebie information for people that can use it.

ActuallyFree.info won an award!
ActuallyFree.info won a Bronze Award from NodusAwards.com!
Check it out on the About Us page
The bronze award is given to websites that have "good quality in most areas but lack a polished feel overall." They rated the site based on criteria consisting of 16 questions in 3 or 4 different categories: Appearance, Usability, Content and a Bonus Point.
In those categories ActuallyFree.info received the following:
To qualify for a silver award, a website has to score 11 points. ActuallyFree.info was only 1 point short with 10 points. Darn! . . . I realize there are lots of areas where the site can improve. Its a lot of work for one guy who barely knows his way around HTML. And to improve the site's rating, I'm certainly open to suggestions.
I was a little disappointed that they didn't give the bonus point. The question for the bonus was "For whatever reason, do you believe the site to be special and an outstanding contribution to the web?"
I'll admit that I'm bias, but ActuallyFree.info is the only free site that I've seen that offers as much freebie education (not just links but good information), that offers freebies directly and even a personal service to help people find specific freebies. I'll always believe the site is special, and an outstanding contribution because it helps people in a lot of ways.
But I'm not complaining. An award is an award! Thanks Nodus.
