I'd like to start an argument on what gets you the best bang for your advertising buck online? google adwords? buying traffic? buying traffic generation programs? articles? links submitters? ????????
i'm sure buying traffic is not a good ideea olso generating traffic only truble ahead ... The rest are great ways to promote/ market/optimize a site if you can aford it go for all
Seems to me that paying writers to come up with content for you is a huge bang for the buck. It's kind of an indirect advertising method because you are feeding the search engines by doing this.
Google adwords, and any other ppc can be expensive IF you don't know how to use it and get your visitors to convert. I personally like to pay content writers. I feel it will help me more long term.
I hear MSN is much cheaper than AdWords at the moment. Perhaps I shouldn't say that out loud though... Generally, I'd say PPC is best. Catch people who are looking for your products, when they're looking for them. One-handed surfers (because they've got their wallets out!) are the best.
Adwords is my favorite. The traffic is targeted and usually converts if you know which keywords to use for which purpose.
