    I am in SEO business for last two and half years and in web designing for one and half years.

    Until then I only used to use Forum Signature Marketing (especially DP) and DP market place for promoting my business.

    But now for two months I am having very less business and my earnings go down to 60%.


    I wish to do more promotion inorder to make my business steady.

    All the tips and recommendation are very much helpful.

    Try classified ads sites; big ones. I had a few projects from those sites before.

    Newsletter marketing. Remind your customers what you do and capture new visitors to your website that will forget about the site in a few days.

    Targeted people come from Articles as well. It takes a TON of writing and a long time to see any real results, but once it's started.. hang on because you won't be able to stop the results coming in if you tried :)

    Yes, writing articles and submitting them to directories will bring you a lot of hits (providing the articles are well written and interesting). If you don't like writing yourself, get someone else to do it. It's pretty easy once you get started. Visit www.ezinearticles.com and www.goarticles.com to read articles that are similar to what your site is about in order to get some ideas.

    Answering questions on Yahoo Answers and putting your site as the "resource site" is a good way to bring traffic as well, just as long as you don't outright spam.

    You should try websites like Craigslist, eBay. They can make you a lot of money than forums.

    First you said....

    Then you said....
    Are you high?

    Since signatures bring in little traffic, and far and in bewteen sales, if any at all, your, "business," must have been miniscule from the get go.

    Come on, man, bring yourself back to reality, will ya?

    Two years in SEO business and the only strategy you have been using is forum signs? And after two years you need still help?

    Sorry but this information confuses me :confused:

    Make some linkbaiting with webdirectories with high PR and with comments in DoFollow blogs.

    Also, as some members said, spend some money in PPC... If you have an stablished business then you should have no problems with quality score. I mean that you probably have "about us", "privacy policy", "contact" and all those essential pages that Adwords likes to see.

    what a great piece of advice, remind me to put you on my watch list as a potential new online marketing guru.

    Since I was providing good service I don't want to look for more marketing to promote my business.

    Firstly well done for surviving for so long just by using sigs. However I would imagine sigs would make up only a tiny percentage of your overall promotion strategies.

    I am however confused that you have been doing SEO for 2.5 years which is a lifetime on the net and not know all the other ways of promotion.

    Anyhoo why not make a list of your keywords then do a search on Google for sites relating to those keywords. These site should be where yuor potential customers hang out. Then either blog comment, advertise, join community and post, offer free articles in return for a bio/link back.

    Pay an SEO to promote your sites :) sorry couldn't resist it.

    Search the information packed DP threads.

    You could also try social networking sites such as facebook. They can help drive relevant traffic to your site.
