Best ad methods with low budget

Hey guys. I know adwords and stuff like that are good choices, but too be honest, they are too expensive.

What are some good methods you can use with low budgets of money? I am talking about $20-$40 here!

Currently, I started off with $9. That was for domain.

Now in first week, I have gotten 5000unique visitors and $12 in adsense. Am I going good?

Need methods people. All help is appreciated! Also my site is in my signature if that help!

 

5000 unique visitors in a week with no paid advertising.

I would say that you are doing very well . Where did those visitors come from ?

 

Well since my site is a photoshop tutorial site, I just submit them to tutorial directories. Most from there. Then I am doing interviews with artists and also running competition

 

well done,

if you want to expand you could use video marketing. Spend a little bit of time creating videos - ( make the video titles match the keyword that your customers will type into the search engines ) and then upload it to http://www.tubemogul.com/

They will then upload it to all the top video sharing sites out there.

just one idea that might help

 

So video tutorials maybe?

 

absolutely...

video marketing and on-line video training is growing hugely. If you have good content and create videos explaining how to put it into action, that will capture the user much more than written explanations.

or if you just want to promote the content you already have in article form, create a short video that explains how good the written content is and use it to generate traffic for your website.

but if you have the time and inclination,..video tutorials are a very good way to go

 

Thanks for that information. Any other methods I should know guys?

Thanks for that link

 

Sounds like you're doing really well already. Try some blog commenting too. Don't spam but contribute to the post and you will see some traffic from that.

Also, I might suggest that you add more adsense blocks to your site. You'd likely increase your earnings significantly.

 

Thanks. Yes, already started doing blog commenting

Google doesn't like me though. I've done so much for backlinks and everything, but still not very high in google
Only have had like 20hits from google which is really annoying!

I am only gonna stick with 2 adsense blocks for now, until I get move to www.buysellads.com:)

 

Video tutorial is worth trying.

 

Yes, try video tutorials, and maybe post them to youtube as well?

 

Thanks guys. Gonna start with video tutorials now. But first can you tell me the best video capture software please

 

you get 5000 visitor and 12$ adsense >>>>> i think it is not quality traffic >>> if it is you should make from 50 - 200$ as i think

 

Really??? So for every 5000 unique visitors should i be expecting $50-$200

 

Try guest posting in popular blogs, in addition to blog commenting.

 

You should advertise more on bigger sites.

 

For Google Ranking, maybe you should go for a linkwheel and see if you can improve your ranking.

Do some seo, along with some facebook ppc for non competitive terms.

Also try adbrite, you can choose a really low ppc or cpm, and get tons of views for just a few cents.
