Besides using TE’s, Safelists, and Text Ad Exchanges what are some other good free or inexpensive ways to market online for people who might just be starting out and want to expand their marketing into other areas?

You could look at targetting forums, blogs, and other sites in your target market. Some might have an advertise page like mine, but others a friendly request might help. I wouldn't go out spamming template emails though.

What if any is a good FREE Auto Responder?

I've never used it before, but MailChimp.com has a free plan up to 500 subscribers and 3,000 emails a month. They seem to know what they are doing though from a technical standpoint, I've subscribed to their blog.

But what is necessary when starting an online business of my own?

You'll need to talk to a lawyer and/or accountant. I'm neither, and I probably live in a different state then you if not country. I do know that if you are running your business, and it's just you, you'll have to pay Self Employment tax in the US. And it's expensive. 15.3% on top  of your income tax. Woohoo! But really you need to talk to people in the know in your area. I've also used LegalZoom.com to setup an LLC recently, which went well. But they only setup the company, they don't do any tax stuff.

(SuperSurf) What’s exactly make it works consistenaly?

We've had a few bumps on the re-launch. An exchange went down, we switched from email to IP, etc. It should be working now but I haven't checked this morning. The main reason it wouldn't work now is if your IP changes every page view. This happens for Satellite users, and maybe some dialup users. I'm looking into making it easier as we want it to work consistent but with very little user input.

(advertising blogs) Would you use traffic exchanges, and if you say yes, how would you use them

I do use traffic exchanges! The way I do it, I put a video of me talking about my blog and have an email subscribe form next to it. Most exchange users don't understand RSS, so the email form is necessary.

All your instructions to the letter, so what am I missing?

There seems to be a bug in the current editor. For whatever reason, some people this happens to others it works fine. There is a new editor that will be released hopefully in the near future. Just trying to get all the kinks out of it. Sorry for the problems!

To be honest I don't see the point in it. So you've got a Google search box, and it says search the internet. Well, if I'm going to search I'll just type words in my address bar and it automatically sends me to Google. You have some content, but it seems there is no direction. You need to figure out direction ;-)
