The word “free” is the favorite word of mostly people on the internet and also in real life. When I hear that word, it sounds so cool. Many internet users are like to type that magic word (“free”) on Google, if they want something to get or to download. Internet users wants it digital products like mp3 and software for free. Some Newbie bloggers and Internet Marketers wants their websites, blog domain and web hosting for free because they don’t want spend money. Yes,  free is good thing in this world but also there is always a catch if you want something to get it for free. Now,  here are some of the free on the internet that you can get but you should also you should avoid if you want to be free. Always think wise.

If you have a blog domain name that is top level domain like (.com/.net/.org etc), hosting it into online free web hosting is a very bad idea and it is not wise. I know some many newbie bloggers are opted to host their domain name into online free web hosting. Yes it is very cheap and you will not spending money on web hosting, but also, there is a catch. Hosting your blog into free web hosting providers can create you headache and trouble, because free web hosting is very unreliable.

Reasons why it is not wise to host your blog or sites into free web hosting providers

1.       You have no control of your own blog, so there is 100% possibility that they will delete your blog anytime without any prior notice. I heard some bloggers are deleted and canceled their blogs because they are hosted at wordpress.com.  So, it is recommended to always backup your files and anything if you hosted on free hosting.

2.       Web hosting companies that are providing free host are not permanent and can die anytime. One example of this is the Yahoo Geocities who closed their service last April 2009.

3.       Free web hosting service loads very slowly. Yes, your blog will load slowly; your visitors will close their browsers and shift into another blogs because your blog will load inefficiently. Another is your blog will not become SEO friendly and Google spider will ignore your precious blogs and you can lose many visitors and readers

Avoid free laptop, Ipod touch, Ipad on the internet

There are many websites that are offering free laptop, Ipad etc. You should avoid this because it can waste your precious time. Always use your common sense, there are no such a free things in this world, even on the internet. We are in global economic crisis, there are no free, if there is free things, there is always a catch.

Free laptop on the internet is completely spam. Their victims are the internet users who are lack of knowledge on internet and lack of common sense. Their tactics is, they create a website that will provide a free laptop, ipad etc. The internet user must fill up and complete the form in order to get free laptop. The bad thing is that user will not get anything. Like I said there are no free things in this world today. Only they need are the list of names, address and zip codes of the internet user, which will they are making money on it per sign up of internet user and they are using Free laptop as a bait in order that the internet user will signup.

Avoid free online downloadable music, software and others

Downloading music, mp3 and software on the internet can infect your computer some malicious viruses which seriously harm your computer. Although, I am always downloading anything on the internet, I am always having an Anti Virus for security of my computer. So if you don’t have antivirus on your computer, it is strongly recommended not to download anything free on the internet.
