Ok, we have all heard about the tons of free stuff floating around the web.....we have also heard "there is no such thing as a free lunch". They are both true.

There is lot of genuinely free merchandise and services on the Internet. These goodies are given away by companies that want to get their name in front of you. The idea is basically simple and as old as consumer marketing itself.

Widgets R' Us will give you a free widget because every time you use that widget you will think of Widgets R' Us.

Then the next time you have to buy a widget, who you going to think about.....Widgets R' Us.
