    agreed. 100 bucks wont do much. With that kind of budget link buying is pretty much out of the question.

    perhaps try payperpost

    Sorry, I ment one-time promotion, not a total amount to spend for the site. One week or one month listing somewhere for example. Sure later will spend more money on the promotion, maybe the monthly 100USD if it's useful.

    You can do plenty with 100. You actually can do alot without a dollar to spend.

    It will take you more time to convert though, but the end result will be the same.

    If you insist on spending the $100, I would suggest you spend it this way:

    - 25-50 on adsense - bid the lowest, unless you are making alot on your items

    - $12 on exactseek.com <--tried this a couple of days ago, not bad

    - $35 on some text link ads - some site with PR and some traffic.


    some people will take $100 for about 500 manual directory submissions - i am not quite sure that that is better from what I mentioned abve - but directory submissions are good.

    I personally think you should keep the $100, submit your site to search engines, start writing up a plan to promote your site, and start executing. You will probably need it later to buy some tool such as mass article submitter.

    Another good alternative would be to test your site with adsense with the $100 - see what is your conversion rate, determine your optimum bid and keywords. You might be suprised and this might return good money for you. I am not sure how you convert on your site, but I think you should know.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,

    I think you are talking about adwords and saying adsense. Worth trying it.

    But, If you are a newbie to adwords and do not have much $$ to throw aways in testing then I suggest not to go for adwords. You should go for some permanent promotion kind of thing.

    Eg- buy permanent links from high PR and high traffic relevant sites.
    - Sure directory submission can bring you links for lifetime.
    Try to get as many permanent backlinks as you can in $100. I think this is the best for you.

    I also suggest. hire a good content writer and have 2-3 quality, unique, interesting and useful article. Then submit them to high PR article directories.

    Good Luck.

    The first think i would do is to buy some good links, in sites with traffic and pretty high PR, and target a good keyword!

    Also i have to say that first you can do many things with paying any dollar. Make some link exchanges which are free, submit your site to some free directories, announce your site in some relevant forums!

    Hi Comfis!

    I'm not sure that this way is so valuable thing (buying pretty high PR links).
    I remember, I've readed here on DP 1-2 months ago that to buy links in avivadirectory.com worth, went to buy one and finally i see nowhere the result of this. I can say you it's worth nothing. Maybe you know more valauable and better directory sites (Yahoo with his 300USD?) i don't know.

    I'm not a SEO expert yet but my experiences collected in some months says, a forum signature on a high pr forum with much visitors much more than an avivadirectory.com link or something like this. So maybe better to buy signatures.
