If you had $5000 to spend on your site...

    If you had $5000 to spend on your site, how would you use that money to promote your site. Would you do advertising or build links? Do you think it would make any difference SEO wise?

    I would spend most of it on adwords. The rest I would put towards a banner ads on popular blogs.

    Yeah I'd invest the $5k in a PPC campaign... but only if I already had a profitable campaign running.

    Else, I'd spend $1k developing a profitable campaign, then invest $4k in it!

    I would spend the money on both ad words and link building. Remember ad words are only good until the money runs out. Link building will help build page rank so the people will come organically. I would spend my money first on a page rank 6-8 site two links two different sites. Then I would spend the rest on ad words.

    I'd probably put 1k down on SEO, and the rest trying to get on authority sites in my field. I wouldn't waste my money on PPC campaigns, never seem to have any luck with them!

    I'd buy a crap ton of good quality content with 2.5k. And then maybe a banner ad on a popular site with the other 2.5k.

    I'd invest in Facebook integration. If your site is halfway decent it won't take long at all for it to go viral on Facebook. (Not talking about spamming Facebook here either.)

    I would probably go with 2k on google ads and the other 4k on a good publicist for a month or two. If the publicist could get you interviewed on 4-5 websites plus get your press release on 40-50 quality websites then that beats any SEO company.

    I think I will buy a good hosting plan and many domains for adult blogs. After I buy this stuff I will start making adult blogs everyday. I think that if I work responsible I would reach a good profit after a while.

    You needn't any coding knowledge for this, just read some about search engine optimization and adult affiliate programs, learn how to install wordpress.

    That's what I would probably do with this money amount. :)

    I'd pay for professional design and scripts to make my website better than any competitor's sites, then use whatever I had left to buy links and PPC.

    I would certainly work with a few good ezine publishers and try to get some endorsement in a message they send to their list.
