    Hey guys,

    Wanted to do an informal survey to see which form of marketing gives the best ROI in your experience?

    Of the marketing methods you use, which one brings the most sales for the least investment?

    :D I use the S.E.O.S.S.. BiG MERV'S SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION SECRET SAUCE.. it's a bloody ripper! :eek:

    have a free taste test.. try doing a search on the following keywords which generate very healthy new unique visitor traffic..

    Search & See.. and you'll end up in my sHaMoZzLe.com website..

    Playmate pet 2 of 687,000
    Wolfmother home 1 of 2,920,000
    Australias fastest police chase 1 of 1,580,000
    Neverending video 3 of 28,900,000
    webcam cybersex 5 of 1,180,000
    Simpsons theme acoustic 4 of 223,000
    Simpsons theme 22 of 7,380,000
    Bill Gates tribute 15 of 2,710,000
    Paris morning Ferrari 3 of 1,040,000
    Paris Ferrari 974 of 12,200,000
    Letterman Microsoft 17 of 927,000
    escape from police video 6 of 9,680,000
    blind guitarist video 10 of 4,750,000
    wrong videos 18 of 50,500,000

    Budweiser tribute 9 of 420,000
    Quiksilver Pro surfing tournament 8 of 40,100
    Merv 6 of 1,990,000

    ..and many many more!! :D

    ..so what are BiG MERV's Secret Spices in the SEOSS?.. well I'm sorry to say they aren't for sale, you cannot buy this secret sauce.. you must make your own recipe.. there's no super shortcut to the sauce that creates long term credible website success.. it cannot be brought.. everything above was achieved without tricks and sauce copyright legal risks.. but the ability to tap into your creative resources which involve empathy towards your visitors..

    ..STOP and think what kind of sauce will bring you the most people to your free taste tests?.. does your sauce leave your visitors wanting to return for more?.. does it evolk their taste buds.. or a feeling of comfort and familiarity in your website?.. or do they feel ripped off never to return.. that's the SEOSS

    Cheers from BiG MERV ;)

    Definitely Pay Per Click Marketing. That's my specialty. I use Yahoo, Google and MSN pay per click. Great traffic!

    I choose "Other" -- build communities around content and have your community members pass it along :)

    The big missing one is: social bookmarking. I love it when a page gets stumbled. But in general SEO is the one I can't do without.

    For me it's SEO and Email Marketing to my list. :) Those have made me the most money so far, and SEO when done well can continue to generate money over and over.

    Hardout! I can't stand being spammed so I wouldn't do it or encourage it in any way either. There are some great white hat alternatives to everything online.
