    Hi DPers,

    I need some suggestions on how to market a cloud computing consulting service offered on my Cloud Business Review site.

    The service being offered is basically aimed at small business owners looking for guidance to move their business to the cloud.

    The service is my partner's as we have reached a deal for revenue sharing. I have placed a form on top-right sidebar for a free consultation, but no response so far. The site is about 1.5 month-old and start to gain traction in term of web traffic.

    Any suggestions and ideas? Many thanks in advance!

    Bust out with some Article Marketing and Press Release submissions.

    You will be providing quality content to the internet, which Google loves and gaining backlinks, which Google loves as well.

    This will even help dramatically in your Google rankings and with other SEs as well.

    it all depends on paid ads or not. but also if you already have a site with visitors then make it obvious on that site that you have a new service, maybe with a banner.

    @ GuruCreation - I'm doing PressRelease but I don't think its effective because I use free PR services - Is using pro PR services, such as PRweb's make any difference?

    @ Giamatti - any approx. on click through rate on FB ads?

    @ rlerza - I've placed a form on prominent sidebar location, but got no emails... any ideas on where to place the form?

    Many thanks for the useful responses, guys!
