You’ve indeed made a list with unusual places to drop your URL :-) Nice out-of-the-box thinking.

You can also print your URL on some stickers and paste them at different places like lampposts and billboards etc.

Donate t-shirts and caps with your URL to clothes drives. Gives you exposure esp. in the 3rd world.

Eduard, printing stickers with your URL is also a great one.

Donating clothes with URLs is hilarious, Sebastian, never thought of it :)

10: On your underwear, especially if you are promiscous.

Well…what about leaving my URL HERE ?! :D

Amusing Stuff! Stumbled and Sphunn :)

* Tattoo (old news)
* skywriting
* sleeping bums (see #1)
* Bleach on your neighbors yard
* spell it in birdseed, you know what happens next
* Burn outs on the local high shcool football field a la NASCAR
* Diamond Grill a la Mike Jones (small URL or big freakin mouth)
* Pee in the snow (I live in Wisconsin)

For those that live in Florida instead of Wisconsin, you could write it on the beach in sand. I’d recommend in front of a high profile, 20+ story condo or hotel. Make sure you do it before the tide comes in though!

Funny list and I thought the underwear and donated clothes additions were hysterical.

Hilarious post! I just had to leave my URL here! You could leave your URL posted on those bulletin boards at the grocery store and Wal-Mart too.

‘I write messages on money.
It’s my own form of social protest.
A letter printed on paper that no one will destroy
passed indiscriminately across race, class and gender lines
and written in the blood that keeps the beast alive.
A quiet little hijacking
on the way to the check-out counter
And a federal crime.
I hope that someone will find my message one day when they really need it.
Like I do.’ — Rage Against the Machine. Of course, they wrote things like ‘You are not a slave’, but URLs work too. As I understand it, writing on US currency is legal so long as it’s not intended to make the bill unfit to be reissued. (http://www.bep.treas.gov/document.cfm/18/104)

Creative list – when glance over #6 – at first I thought it said “pen!s” and that really got my attention!

Get a tub of paint, get a water pistol then fill the waterpistol with paint then go to a wall in the city or something at like 3 am in the morning, then write your url on the wall with the water pistol,

its genius

Skywriting, lawn bleaching, sand writing and money writing… Great tips :)

Offer to put up changing tables in local shops’ restrooms, and have them silkscreened with your URL. Stamp it on magazines and leave them in the gym or the doctor’s office. Chalk it on sidewalks in the areas your target customers frequent. Make it into an optometrist’s eye chart, a vocalise, or a reading game and distribute it to suitable optometrists, voice teachers, and literacy coaches. Have it made up as a self-inking rubber stamp and surreptitiously stamp it on all the paper napkins at a fast food restaurant.

Some good tips there although I don’t think that painting your URL on your roof is for everyone…

The t-shirt one is what i was going to do for when i go running.

Another good one if you play online games is to append your website to your name. Or to prefix it. In counterstrike i am protella.com-[kensai] got about 40 people to my site in a weekend session :)

Or in supermarkets where you can post an ad, just put it there.

Love the ideas, especially the license plate.

Make up magnetic signs for your car. Flyers in parking lots. I like some of the others listed, donating clothes is hilarious!

Stickers are a good idea. Stick them on videos at rental stores, on the bottom of shoes at shoe stores, the bottom of coffee mugs at Starbucks. I guess with stickers you could put them almost anywhere…

Great ideas there dude…

This post is another place for dropping your url =)

A good place for an url might also be across your dog’s coat as you take it for a walk.
Another good place might be at a train crossing.
Another place Ive seen them is in the sky ie sky writing or above pedestrian crossing over freeways.

Another place hmmmm let me seee. Below is another place, but its an annoying place, and Im sorry if it offended –

Thats it for me.

Also …

Voice 2 page – record by phone – internet website audio are places where people ‘drop their url’ and register for audio adverts on their websites.
February the 1st it all starts – looks promising.. take a quick look

How about right here? Thanks for the tips man, gonna get on my roof and tip-ex my url into the tiles.

http://www.bbhd.co.uk/ hehe

nice thinking ! to promote your web unusual.

tips no 1 is still the best and no 8 the easy way to promote your website.

use a sticker and put @ your car, your domain name.

Not too bad of a list. It wasn’t really what I was expecting, but they are practical ideas to get your website URL out there.

Hey pretty cool ideas

how about going to your local library and a business card with your url on inside the back cover of a book that is relevant to your site??

I think one of the BEST places to drop your URL is on SIGNS! Google “cheap signs” and find a vendor. For less than a dollar a sign you can then drop them all over town in front of FORECLOSED HOMES! This also works with family and friends homes too. Lots of exposure, minimal work and very low cost!

Stand around at the airport with a sign with your URL, as if you were waiting for someone to pickup and collect. Might be somewhat time consuming though;)

This is a great post – love all the great ideas. It is so easy to get caught-up in online marketing efforts that you forget about opportunities close to home. :)

Doubt the hubby will want me painting the roof with a URL anytime soon, but I am not above wearing a self-serving t-shirt…..as long as it is stylish, flattering and makes me some money LOL!

I think that I like the URL on the license plate frame too. I’m seriously checking that out.

To promote a new motorcycle domain I went to a huge bike show with a paper sign on my back. The domain name was written with magic marker on piece of typing paper clear taped to the back of my jacket. Everywhere I walked I would hear people saying “mydomain.com” as they walked behind me. Some took pictures. Some people mocked the idea and made fun of me. Many people stopped me and told me they thought it was a great idea. Some gave me their card. I never said a word to anyone unless they spoke to me first. Within hours I had traffic and $. It was worth the embarrassment I put myself through. A year later the domain still pulls it’s weight even though it does not rank at all on google.

Additionally, have your URL painted on your wind shield top. I have received quite a few awe stricken eyebrows after I did this.

Some good ideas there, I was searching for good places to get backlinks but this is another different idea – definitely is “unusual”!

For brand awareness purposes I think we might give one or two of your suggestions a go!

Thanks

You could put your url on golf balls, then watch your web-site fly.

If you have a website for kids, design an educational poster, get it printed (on sufficiently large print runs, that would cost you about 10-20 cents per copy) and give the posters away for free to schools, clubs, etc. –don’t forget to add your “Sponsored by” URL in a prominent position… ;-)

You can use your name at social network site too. It works nice.

Printing your domain name on the roof seems to be at least retarded. I think Google Earth isn’t scanning the whole earth every year. So maybe your domain never appears. And who else cares if you only see the domain on your roof?
There are some useful tips but some of them are just time consuming without any success. Just my 2 cents.

Balloons and teddy bear labels can be unusual “places” where a URL can be. Even digital devices like a laptop or iPod-player can have skins that announce a URL. Creative marketing!

I like the liscence plate idea, very cool list!

Yeah you stole the idea. i was going to put it here.

Indeed very impresive ideas, ahh ahh let me tell you one.what about placing your link in newspapers a very cheap media..!! or say about on your school bag, college bag ??

I like the business cards in the library books idea. That one is easily done.
I thought about having some beermats made up so you can leave them on the table of local pubs.

This post is so funny. Specially the roof idea is great. i have an idea. you should publish your site in facebook profile situation. :)

Great list some real good ideas well done and thanx

Hey

You have stolen my idea with the pencils.

Wow, this was not what I expected. I thought every post would be jokingly written. It’s great a few really good but not obvious till you have read it ideas. I wonder if the licence plate thing will work in the UK on number plates. How about leaving business cards on busy long journey train rides at rush hour. Buy one of those led programmable scrolling displays for the back of your car in traffic. Definitely going to get a Polo shirt printed up.

Cheers Guys and Girls

These are all good ideas though funny.

i’ve put my url as my name whenever i go online with my Wii

I still like the pens the most. They steal more from your office than what you can give away at a conference.

Your roof is a classic……I am calling the painters tomorrow :D

put URL on 4 sides your car with attractive color :)

I know I’m late to the party on this one but a nice variation of the license plate url is the mesh back-window decals for your car. They’re inexpensive (about $75) and probably worthwhile if you have a memorable url and a traffic filled commute. A friend has a stationary supply company (one man show) and gets a few calls and emails because of his.

Thought this article was going to be about leaving your URL at various places on the web…. what a surprise, you mean actual physical places!

Never would have thought of that.

Number 7 could lead to madness. I have visions of me visiting all the internet cafes and changing the home pages…. or is it such a crazy idea?

@Zafar

Crazy but funny as hell. I see it as win-win. As long as you’re buying coffee and services from the internet cafe who is losing?

Excellent post! unfortunatelly I livin in an apartment building and there is no way to paint my URL on the roof. However, this is a great idea.

I would add a bumper sticker as another idea to promote a URL

On your company’s intranet classified section if you have one?

I love the licence plate idea, why did I never think of that?

And then pens as well, for work and then let people steal them brilliant.

Some of these are more obvious than others but it’s good information. Kudos.

Great list, I really liked the roof idea.
