I want to promote my site on the web. Searching for Web Promotion and URL Submit sites I realized that my budget would not go too far. Also I have no way to find out if these sites are legitimate or not. I Need some pointers from Promotion and SEO experts on getting the best bang for the $50 I have in my budget for this month.
Advertise your site for less then $0.05 a click, be viewed by 4 630 Unique visitors a Month just on my web sites, soon to be viewed by thousands more on other web sites. http://www.inethoster.net/ads/client_signup.php
Pay a fast talking sales person 50 bucks to convince the people who control your budget to increase it to a few thousand dollars, and also tell the guy if he successfully gets a higher budget for you, you will give him an extra hundred bucks
You could use it to buy text links on very related sites. I found this works well for me provided its very targeted.
I've only ever once worked with a $50 budget. It got me one suspect, which if I remember never became a sale. It depends what you're marketing though, but $50 is very little
$50 is too small of a budget to get much "bang" from paying someone else. As someone else suggested, you could hire a directory submission service or try an adwords campaign. You really don't need to spend any money - just put in many hours of work it takes to make a site successful. Spend time getting backlinks from relevant sites. There is really no substitution for hard work.
I agree here. Spending time in the trenches is the only way to really learn how it all works, and the benefits of SEO are semi-permanent. Problem is you won't see your 50 turn into 100 right away. If you need a quick fix, build a kick butt landing page, do a lot of keyword research and message testing, then run a google adwords campaign (search only initially) - that's your best bet with a tiny budget IMO depending on your vertical
Any pointers to good articles / forums on building landing pages and keyword search I went ahead and spent $20 on tuning.. I can focus on content than directory submission for that money.
I've not really found any, but I can give you some quick advice. Landing pages: the simpler the better. Just put a strong title on the page, a few bullet points of your best sales points, and put the form right there on the page. Message testing: Google works great for this. Create a bunch of ads and run them against each other. Eventually. the strongest ads will show more and the weak ones will fade. Take what you learned from the ads and put that knowledge to work on your landing pages. KW Research: there are tons of places to find this info. A quick search on this forum will provide a ton of info. I also like highrankings.com/forum/index.php?showforum=30 for this kind of info Good luck!
It would depend on what you are marketting. One way is to get a Too good 1000 word article for $6 or so and send to ezine publishers and article sites. Other than the Bio mention your products in the article itself.( Like if you have a sitemap generator, write an article about sitemaps and mention your product in between somewhere as a resource). 3 ezines publish your article bringing it before about 1500 readers or more. Then readers of article sites and publishers from there picking your article. Then visitors on these sites reading your article creates a chain like structure. If you are on a limited budget , then you know that most of the other things like directory submission should be done by yourself because the money can be used elsewhere. I don't know if running an adwords campaign would be a good idea because I don't know what you are marketting or how strong is your landing page. If you choose to run an adwords campaign then Keep the ad specific . Like "Multiple domain hosting $10 per month" Only those interested in buying it for $10 would click. If you think that visitors of a particular site could buy from you as well then spend a few bugs on advertising there and track the number of people who came and how many became your customers . This will help you decide whether to advertise next month or not. Regards jeet
