Free guestbooks for websites

Guestbooks might seem a little "old school" in this day of blog comments, Twitter followers, Google Connect and Facebook fan pages, but often a simple public feedback form can really add a sense of community to your website and keep visitors coming back. Here are some great free services worth checking out:

• A Free Guestbook is one of the original sites for free guestbooks online.
• Guest Book Central offers a hosted guestbook solution for those who need free support for their guestbook.
• SmartGB also offers a convenient web-based guestbook generator, with built-in spam blocking and other useful features.
• WebsiteGoodies has a simple online wizard to create a guest book right here.

Some scripts for intermediate-advanced users

PHP Hosting
If you have PHP enabled on your webhost, there are numerous free and cheap scripts you can use to put a guest book on your web site. ArdGuest is one of the most popular; check out this list at ResourceIndex.com for even more choices

Windows Hosting
If your server uses Windows hosting, which is typically enabled for ASP.net rather than PHP, here is a great ASP-compatible free website guestbook.
