If you are looking for a free way to advertise your business, you might consider merchantcircle.com. They allow both paid and free services. I have not used the pay services yet as the free service does allow for more than other paid services I've looked into.

The Good:
-Allows you to list your website.
-Connect with local merchants. Send invites and messages for free.
-Upload products with pictures and descriptions.
-Create coupons that are shown for your local area.
-Write blogs and participate in writing questions and answers for just about everything.
-Show up on Google and other search engines. Google has already recognized it as link to my website which helps it SERPS.
-Received over a 1000 views to my profile and a handful to my actual website.
-Schedule an Appointment button on profile and the ability to install it and other widgets on your website for free.

The Not So Good:
-Currently I have not made a single sell from this community. (This in and of itself keeps me from giving it 4 stars. Communities like this are supposed to make you money.)
-Their paid services look nice, but they only add a little more to your free experience but cost a little bit too much for my taste.

Overall:
-A Great site for spreading brand awareness. It does this better than any other site I have come across so far. It can't hurt to have free links, pictures, reviews, etc. It has helped my Search Engine Placement. Just don't count on generating much revenue from the site and you won't be disappointed at all.

I was looking for a website that offered better quality business cards than were I usually go vistaprint, but at an affordable price. I found www.doitprint.com.

The Good:
-Best quality for an online printer I have found to date.
-Great Customer Service
-They create custom designs at a reasonable add-on price. (Not as cheap as pre-made designs, but cheaper than hiring some design firms)
-Very reasonable price. (Cheaper than a lot of other print shops. Not always the absolute cheapest, but the quality makes it worth the little extra.)

The Not so Good:
-NO online designer
-NO Templates (This one can swing either way really. When talking their rep, he explained that they don't believe in pre-made designs, as a business should have a unique image. They have a blurb about this on their home page.)
-Must upload your own design or pay (a reasonable price for professional work... we are all just use to designers I guess.) for a professional design.

Overall:
I am more than willing to pay the little extra for a superior quality, custom business card with my unique design on it. I've received so many compliments on my professionalism since purchasing these latest cards. I love Do it Print!
