    Keyboardhustler,

    I'd be wary of spending my money on little known programs ortraffic buys.

    You've got a respectable budget for a small project.


    The question I want to ask you is, do you want to rank in Google, or do you just want to get fast, focussed, paid traffic to your site?

    If its the first, then you need to focus on link building and content creation. Perhaps you can use the money to outsource this process.

    If its the second strategy then I must recommend Google Adwords, or it's equivalent programs in the other search engines. This is still the safest and most productive way of driving fast traffic. Before you do this however, it is essential that you get some training in this area otherwise that money you have could be quickly lost!

    Good luck my friend!

    how effective are myspace bulletins does anyone have esperiance with those

    coming to the main question: I think without knowing what product you want to advertise and weather you are looking at short or long term gains its difficult to give you worth while sugestions as different strategies work for different products.

    I agree with dreadman.

    Depending on the product you are promoting, $250 can either be a small or a fair amount of advertising budget. In some markets, PPC can go up to .6 to .9 just to rank for positions 4-6 on Adwords alone.

    If that's the case, spending that money on SEO or articles might be better alternatives.

    Try PPC. Start with small PPC network first like 7search.com.

    I'd drop it in a $10 per day adwords campaign and do some testing. But dont' use that $250 at all, especially if this is your first time online advertising, unless you are planning on just losing it.

    Yup Amac is right, depending on your product/service PPC is probably best.

    Are you planning to spend it for promotion of the site or just for some quick traffic?

    If I could do it all over again this is what
    I'd do. I saw $200 more and get a
    google adwords consultation from Perry
    Marshall. That alone will save you
    $1,000's.

    Buy a good digital camera, open a youtube account and start posting videos. If the site fails, at least you got something out of your money.

    It depends on what you're trying to advertise. If what you're advertising has viral potential, then the 250 may be best spent on a place like stumbleupon. If you're in a niche that's not too competitive, maybe PPC will give you the highest ROI. If you've got a great idea, maybe spending 250 on content or programming for a widget may work best. There's no one answer.
