Hello Everyone,

Before I start I would just like to thank any users in advance for helping me out, with any advice they can.

Our website is: www.linkwheeler.com, we basically sell SEO services and specialize in link wheel creation.

At the moment I have hit a wall on the marketing front. Basically my question is where else should I advertise, keep in mind I do not have a massive marketing budget?

Here is our current marketing setup:

Search Engines:

-Google Adwords
-SEM services on a weekly basis (blog comments, article creation, link wheel creation and so on)

Forum Advertisements:

-Warrior Forum
-Digital Point
-V7N
-Webmaster-talk
-Promojunkie
-Webtalkforums

Paid Advertisements:

-Various Blogs

Social Networking:

-Twitter
-Facebook
-Mailing List

We are also building an affiliate program which should be ready in under 2 weeks.

Any suggestions as to "what else would you do" would be fantastic.

    classified sites like craigslist, outsourcing sites like odesk, elance...

    also if you target local business with your adwords campaign you will get some good leads

    Are you tracking stats? Are you testing different pages? Testing different ads?

    How about focusing first on improving your conversion rate you get from the traffic you already have.

    Hello Guys, and thanks for the replies.

    The only tracking we do is through google analytics, and we do get a good amount of traffic through our advertising sources.

    What programs and systems do you WF members have in place to track exactly where a sales is coming from?

    Regards Dave

      Are you tracking conversions through Analytics or just traffic?

      Also, how are you tracking all your advertising sources? And, again, are you tracking just hits or conversions?

    Contact Hosting Services and request to be included into thier services. What will happen is they will send you a media kit.

    A few seo services have done this and were placed within the cpanel under "other services" of the hosting companies for thier clients.

    OrangeSoda(an seo service based out of chicago) did this with hostgator and it worked very well.

    At the moment we are tracking only traffic.

    However we have plans to track conversions, we just need to set it up. All tracking will be done through Analytics (for every advertising source) unless you can suggest something else?

      No, there are other ways but, as you know, Analytics will do the job for you.

      I think you'll find it will motivate you to focus on what's important.

      I wish you well with it!
