What is the best paid method of online advertising ?

[greenowl123]

I have been using primarily free methods of advertising...

very time consuming and want to know what would be the

best investment of $100 for paid advertising for my site.


Would it be sending out Solo Ads, Buying Links, buying ads on an existing ezine, or some other method ?

Thanks in advance to all sincere answers !

Perhaps you should try Google Adwords.It is a quick way to get traffic, but there is a risk you will lose money if you have no idea what you are doing.

There is no single best way. What if you could find a high traffic blog that is very targeted toward your niche? Buying ad space there might be your best bang for your buck.

But what if you can't find the perfect site to advertise on? In that case maybe Adwords is best.

It really depends on your product and what your real options are in that area.

Best paid way is to take your $100 and get 10 quality, keyword-laden articles written - put them on your blog and add in some crazy LSI, then make go to Ezinearticles and make a killer headline and resource box. That will keep you in traffic for a pretty long period of time, particularly if those keywords get articles ranked.

Article marketing works.

edit - don't forget to submit them to other article directories... If you submit to 100 directories and get one hit per 6 months from each that's still approaching 1 extra sale per month, depending on your product ... not to mention all the backlinks.

I would go with article marketing as above poster says, you can actually get cheaper articles than $10/pop. But then...i actually also like purchasing banner space on highly related sites and blogs. I would make it a combo and try both, spend $50 on a bunch of articles and the rest i would scour forums and buy banner space.

Both free and paid advertising has its own advantages and disadvantages.

After working on PPC (a paid advertising method) for a while, I started to like it for the following reasons:

• Ads appear quickly usually within 15 minutes
• Flexible keyword targeting: Broad match, phrase match, exact match, and negative keywords
• Geo-targeting: Target prospects from pre-defined regions; show different marketing messages to people from different regions.
• Able to split test ads to determine the optimum ad title, ad copy, etc.
• Able to set preferred ad position: There's no guarantee but it's much easier to influence the position of your ad

hi guys

i find that ads can be quite expensive for the return you get back. If say you are in the make money online niche it doesnt get any better than a WSO or the classified section. I do both regularly and always get amazing results from both of them.

If i was to spend the money in any niche on one thing - i would go for premium listings on a classified site. If you choose your keywords right in the ad you will also get yourself highly ranked on google for the pleasure.

kind regards

CPV advertising is a really good option if you're looking for spending $100.
Your ad will be viewed for only $0.01 each time. On some websites also, your actual webpage shows up as a popup window. So people will be coming to your website no matter what.

It's a really good way to advertise and i'm suprised not a lot of people are taking advantage of it.

Or - you can create a CPA campaign and pay for performance when publishers refer sales to your site. You'll need to have a unique and high converting product, but with a affiliate program you will always have a measurable and pre-determined ROI.

PPc can be the most effective but you need to get your keywords right and not use too many.Try to group keywords around a common word e.g nice car, cars for sale, vintage cars....
Matrixmails isn't bad for low cost advertising but it all depends on what you're selling or offering.I'd need to know ehat you do.

[pheonix44]

If you are looking to test and see which keywords are effective consider social network marketing. It is really cheap and can be tested out quite inexpensively.

[dave147]

Get as many as you can: 500 word articles written on 4 niches.

Submit the articles to the top 10 article directories. (don't forget your sig)
then
Submit the articles to the next 400 article directories. (articlebot)
next
Submit the articles to an article submission service (like contentcrooner or submityourarticle)
then
Socialize the articles, eg... tweet and stumble them

If you are promoting a "sought after" product then you will see your $100 multiply

[JAIDEEP2959]

You can submit your product to Clickbank and let affiliates do paid advertising for you such as Google adwords for search and content network, yahoo search advertising, Facebook advertising, CPM advertising etc.

Best paid method will be advertising on Google Adwords using less competitive and specific keywords.
