Ok, I have a site called PS3Tag.com and I've been given 500 dollars to market/advertise this website. What does everyone think I should use it on? I don't want to blow it all on something that isn't going to show good results (traffic). The only thing that comes to mind is Google Adwords, but is there anything else that works?
I would suggest buying some pretty strong links from gaming sites. Sure you probably will not receive traffic from it today...but it will help you rank better on google for all sorts of ps3 keywords.
I would use the DP marketplace gain links for the best long-term benefit. If you spend it on AdWords in a competitive industry it will be gone quickly and have nothing to show for it. Think... directory submission social bookmarking stubleupon exchange article writing and submission etc. use $200 to do this and repeat in 30 days. With $100 left repeat what you think may be working best. If you get results, ask for a budget of a couple hundred a month to continue trying these opportunities. At least that is what I would do.
this are the best suggestion you can get so far. make sure you manage your budget well and continue spending on methods that works best. Repeating promotin is the thing you should do. great suggestion.
I agree with tradeya, webthisways' advice seems to be extremely sensible. I know I would have done that if I had to spend 500 on promotion.
Adword is good but if your website is product based along with Aword i recommend you that you should try yahoo search marketing and Adcenter as conversion rate can be ranked as Adcenter, yahoo search marketing, Adword.
take adwords coupons and move ahead, also pick active members in some top gaming forums and buy their sigs / avatars.
Thats not a big budget over time. You need permanent links. Take a look at our service below in the sig line - thats how I would spend the money. After that when you are earning some then adwords.
Use youtube marketing...it will suite best for your website and if you need any more details on how to do it PM me
