    Hello,

    I have just secured futher investment for my business,

    I will now be able to put $1,000 a month into pure advertising for my web hosting business, I am wondering if anyone could tell me the best possible ways to use this money to make my advertising work correctly,

    Can anybody offer me anything?

    Is it worth - giving users $7 per customer they bring to me?
    would you do it if i offered it you?

    Google adwords?

    banner advertising?

    Thanks,
    Adam

    Google Adwords might be good but you should start with lowest budget and increase your daily budget monitoring your performance.

    Now don't just pour all money.
    1. Start google adwords with low budget campaign.
    2. Buy banner spots at webhostingtalk.com and freewebspace.net
    3. Make offers for referals.
    4. Buy banner spots at big forums.
    5. Build a blog about your webhosting review and couponcodes.

    Hope it helps.

    I am curious to know is there anything called as adverts with google ? They have two one is adwords and other is adsense, the search engine listing will show the advertisement from the adwords user ads only, i checked this adverts but it is leading to adwords only.

    For the OP do not spend much in advertisement initially allow the site to be promoted organically, target your market and search a lot to find the advertisement opportunities, wise spend is the best spend. For webhosting business first try to get few clients and review by them this is the best way of promotion. Release small advertisement in hosting related sites for creating brand awareness

    I know a site that is growing by leaps and bounds. It is new, but it is very effective. It cost 6 dollars a month to join to be a gold member, but well worth the advertising dollar. The site is pyrabang.com. You can join for free and earn money by advertising on it if you are a gold member. You should check it out. Use me is your sponsor, 2-4freedom.

    Adwords works. Try banner advertisement on high traffic sites.
