    What would you do if you only had $25 and 1 hour free time to promote a website?

    Would you:
    • Buy articles & submit to article directories?
    • Pay someone to submit your site to Link directories?
    • Social bookmarking, PPC ... etc

    That really depends on the type of website.

    I'd put that money on Adwords. I believe it will pay you back well (especially if you can get pretty high on $0.10 clicks). I believe that will be most benefit for your $25.

    I would have use ebay classifieds, best place to get buying customers rather than getting researching customers from Google adwords.:)

    I'd pay someone to submit the site. Then I'd spend the rest of the hour posting comments to relevant blogs.

    I would do both pay someone and do it myself. think about it, not only is the person submitting for you but you as well or you can even post on youtube or on myspace.

    I would submit articles to ezine directories, then jump on forums and use your signature to promote your website. If you had a few bucks more, I would also do a media release, provided you could write one then submit it to news outlets.

    I would buy a few social bookmarking packages for various pages on my website.

    That amount of money is well spent in a search marketing campaign, provided I have something on the website to recoup the investment.
    If it is simply to advertise the site in order to get regular visitors, then purchasing signature links on a similar niche site would be the ticket.

    You're talking about having a goal in making money from it, right? Having quality traffic, right? If so, I would use it to buy a small ad, and then build on it from there.
