    Hey all..

    I have a question and hope to hear some feedback about this ASAP.. how would a small web hosting company go using adwords ? would the cpc be too expensive since the major players would be able to bid much higher ?

    I am considering starting a web hosting service.. as the nice is saturated i would have to rely on Adwords.. and affiliates etc etc...

    Please leave your thoughts about this if you can spare a few moments to leave your thoughts.

    Cheers

    Hi zinghana,

    Which type of web hosting will you use to start your business, global or local service ?

    If you start your business in global, you will have to face with tons of competitors and tons of money. However, if you do it in local or in region, you will have more chance to win first ad position and customers will come to you. :)

    For affiliate, you can buy ad space or leave your affiliate links in web hosting forums to promote it. This is my personal idea :D

    Appreciate your feedback.. yes i will try locally first i think as it is a saturated nice, i may even try facebook advertising and only display adverts to people in my area.

    Thanks

    Twitter works better than google ads in my opinion.

    You can get customers in other places than ad's like forums, social networking and more. Just use your imagination.

    adwords for webspace is a very expensive thing! you should better make alternative traffic for that money ...

    yes you can make it work, just test first before sinking a lot of cash, make sure you have a easy to understand capture page...like dreamhost has and then give it a go!
