Hi, I'm managing an online shop, http://smeaudiosolutions.co.uk, I'm looking for more ways of showing my products online, do you know of any sites that accept products listing etc for no fee per click? I tried looking at Kelkoo and few others but they all want a certain amount of money per click, problem is that at the moment we don't have a marketing budget, so we're looking into free ways of improving our exposure. Any ideas?
I'm working for a Dutch comparison company and advertisers pay us by CPC as well. They also advertise on Adwords and there you pay CPC too. Why are they still doing this? Because it pays off! Free links, free listings, free posts on forums can be found. But you need to work very hard for it, and the traffic is in most cases very limited and it's not worth alot. You could give surfer forums a try and post links on them but that can be very time consuming. Besides that forum traffic is free traffic, incoming links to your pages means 100% free backlinks (SEO SEO SEO) so this is definately worth a try! You can also try to be very creative and do stuff like press releases, make igoogle gadgets or even try free offline promotions like handing out flyers.. But.. If you have a marketing budget, and you should, I would advice to start slowly with buying traffic via AdWords search network. This can bring in good sales and if you do it well this pays off very quickly!
