    Hi,
    I'm new in this webmaster world
    I got some decent website now, and how I promote this site

    is it more important to advertise this with adwords or just spend money on link development, especially 1 way link with related site or maybe submit to xxx directory

    seems link development is better, but I didn't know since I'm noob here
    please advice

    Thanks

    Well, I would recommend splitting your budget between adwords, targeted traffic, text links, and quality directories (for link development).

    yeah i agree as well, BUT don't use it all at once just use say 10% at first and see where the best results come from then increase it but continue testing.

    be sure! if your site is not a porn site... better not to relate with other..
    Actully 1 way link might not actully count or rather hurt your repo but be sure not to link back to them ..

    I would suggest you work on getting targeted traffic instead of link building. Ideally, you should aim to get natural inbound links. This can be achieved through getting traffic and if the visitors like your website, they are likely to spread the word about your website by posting links, etc.

    Save your money.

    Since you are new to this stuff, it would be best for you to explore the free alternatives (like blogs) before you jump into spending a bunch. If you just jump in and spend a lot of money, you won't learn much.

    After you've learned about attracting free traffic, then you can start dabbling in PPC (google or yahoo).

    andrew's right.don't spend your money first.there's lots of free promotion to start with.it can be slow but you'll save your money and can spend on other things instead.
