Web Advertising

banner ad price depends on type of site, usually very expensive. If you need to get your logo out use a banner, otherwise go with google. they key to google is not to include your ads in affilate campaigns. It will get very expensive if do a content network campaign. Content Network=fraud.

I've found in my experience that the most important step is to insure that your website is attractive, up to date and easy to use. If you can do all of these things then your current customers will begin to talk about it which will get the initial "street talk" going. Beyond that I would reccomend that you hire an company to do most of the marketing for you. You will never be able to do as good of a job as them and then this will leave you with more time to invest into your actual business.

i agree with a few points above, yes content networking does = click fraud & is a real pain. I run a Google AdWords Consultancy here in the UK (pinksheep.co.uk) & there's a lot more to AdWords than just entering some Keywords & letting it run itself.

Things like these do take time & a lot of care, you'll be suprised at the amount of people i speak to who are wasting thousands of pounds each month due to lack of monitoring or adjusting on their accounts.

If time is a big issue then i highly recommend an Agency or Consultancy with professionals to look after it for you...

Hi guys, I am new to this forum...

I tried few attempts of banner advertising but the results weren't as good as ezine ads or other ads methods. Your site visitor will tend to ignore banner ads. Because they feel that banner ads are not genuine, the owner is trying to sell them something.

In online world, presell and recommendation will always work better than selling straight to your prospect. Nowadays, customers prefer to deal with people who are genuine and sincere.


Personally, I found that link exchange, ezine ads and search engine optimization will be far more effective than banner ads. I feel that banner ads might even run down your site's image at certain times. It's just my personal experience.


About Google adwords, if you have some money to invest, it is definately an effective tool to promote your stuff. Same as overture, my personal experience is, overture is so far the most effective par-per-click SE. But, these 2 ways of promotion will require some investment, you have got to calculate your bid and the max you are willing to pay properly. This is because you definately don't want to put a too high bid for an ad copy which it not proven to work right, in another words, the ad copy is just a trial copy. On the opposite, if you are sure that your ad copy will give you a 2% conversion rate, then you will have a better control to minimize your risk and forecast your return of investment.


I got to stop here or I might keep on writting and writting. Till then, take care buddy and all the best in business...

Web advertising is important for promote the business, without advertising is not easy to promote it.Social media is Best for advertising.

You should like at the sites stats first on your own not what they say or what media kit they give you. Use Compete.com or PR tool bar so you can get a feel of their traffic before you start looking at paying money. Adwords is great, make sure your budget is right. If you dont know what you are doing you are going to lose money quickly. Negative keywords or long tail suggestions can greatly help your campaign, adjust your bids daily.
