I'm collecting invaluable information from experts and newbies alike. Would you mind helping? If so, please do let me know your answer on this question -

If you ever had the chance to market your business online, which do you think is the most effective that you've used? Any tips on how to keep getting the best results from this method?

Any advice will be great help for me.

Thanks!

For what we've done the best method is Google Adwords.

The best free method would be well-written articles submitted to well-known article sites. They're less transient than press releases and forum posts, although IMHO forum posts come a very close second.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'll take note of all of it.

I've been working on marketing our website (Salesconx) through social media and so far, so good! Sites like LinkedIn, Biznik, Facebook, and the tons of others out there are really active AND are free to use. Some sites ask for a small fee for added features, but you can still get a lot out of a free membership.

Be sure to be active and keep pushing for more new contacts so your message is heard.

I agree with Elisor about writing good content, too. Nothing is more convincing than a well-written and thought-out whitepaper/press relsease.

Good luck!

article marketing works well with me. the only tips I can give is set a goal to write a certain amount of articles per day. Working hard and you will see the results.

there are lot of FREE ways to promote a site actually. dofollow blog commenting, submitting to social bookmarking sites, submit to free directories thats doesn't require you to link back to them, article submission, press release, submit to RSS directories if you have a RSS feed setup on your site/blog, just to name a few

I use to own a local business and my best traffic source was Craigslist. Not only did CL generate search engine traffic it also referred a lot of direct traffic.

article submission, affiliate links and seo seem to work well - if you have th etime to spend doing it all!!!

I think Online Media Buying works well

If you can find a free voucher online ( which they are) then google adwords, otherwise...write articles and forum marketing.

If you don't have time, SEO is the main one..

**kb241** · 09-13-2008, 05:49 AM

Craigslist! It's given me tons of business each year.

**gdiwin** · 09-13-2008, 09:10 AM

article marketing and forum marketing are the best free ways for affiliate marketing.
But it takes time, diligence and persistence.

3 of the best article submission sites:
goarticles.com
ezinearticles.com
ideamarketers.com

For me the best free method has been submitting Articles to Ezine Articles. The Articles are based on my particular niche and has done wonders for promoting my Blogs. It has been a great Traffic tool to substantially increase visitors directly and from Search results !!

Try wikia search, you can choose your key words and add your link

Google adwords is the most popular, and there are a lot of sites offering free ads. Forum postings will also help a lot.
