    Hi,

    I will soon create and open some websites and I need a quick start talking about visitors (targeted).

    I will have a budget of about $3500 for the first 4 websites, what would be the best marketing strategy to get as much visitors as possible in the shortest possible time.

    looking forward for your answers.

    Since yours is a news site, it could be possible you will get a lot of search engine traffic after your sites have aged for awhile. The fastest way to get the most traffic is almost always going to be paying for it through ppc on Google and putting banners on other sites.

    As gai001 mentioned, the fastest way to get traffic is through PPC. However, once you stop paying the bills, the results stop. If you combine PPC with article marketing, you get the best of both worlds. The PPC can give you immediate results, while the article marketing helps you move up in the search engine rankings. Plus, if you have good, solid content, article marketing can make you look like an expert - and that's something that will really help you if you're in a news niche.

    is there a possibility of affiliate or just free membership on your website? Than you could buy traffic initially, but then later rely on the existing users or affiliate to spread the word and bring more people in.

    So, a good combination would do the job.

    working out at:

    $2000 on PPC
    $500 on forum/blog posting/backlinks
    $500 on article writing
    $500 on banner advertising

    does it sound good for you?

    No one can break it down for you exactly the best way to spend your money. What you should focus on is what you do with the traffic once it gets to your website. Don't spend all your money at once, test out different landing pages until you find something that converts, then bring the traffic.

    No Indeed, I understand what you mean. Also this cash I have for marketing is only 30% of total funds, this is only for the quick start

    I don't think you should spend money on PPC advertising since you are not selling anything. Spend money on PPC only if you can find clicks for less then $0.01. I suggest you to spend everything on forum/blog posting/backlinks and article writing. But make sure you make some test (with let's say $200) and see what kind of results will you get. If you want to, I can help you with this if you pay me at least something. I would like to start my link building company but I don't have any references yet.
