Say that you just started a completely new website and you only have 20 bucks to spend on promotion, advertising etc. How would you spend that money?

Of course I realize that some of the most effective promotional techniques don't involve spending any cash, rather just taking the time to promote your site in the appropriate places. But if you had the cash what would you do with it?

Depending on what I was selling I would seriously consider finding a highly relevant ezine and see if I could purchase a solo ad to their list. At the very least, I would try to get a top ad.

or,

If the funds were available on a credit or debit card I'd probably try some low end keywords via PPC.

Buy 1/25th of a Google share and hope someone would give me the other 24/25ths of it for free.

Seriously, I would try to find an advertising venue that would generate more than $20 ROI (not the silly "buy small text links on high PR sites" idea, either.) I would look for a link that would send traffic that would benefit the bottom line of my site.

From there, I'd reinvest the profit.

Text link sales are going to stop carrying any weight in Google if they haven't already.

I would buy a drink, then figure out what to do with the remaining $12 dollars.

In all seriousness, this is an interesting question for which I have no answer.

I would join high PR forums and start talking and ask questions and put my sig on them. Then I'll also get a nice startbucks drink for $4 and spend the remaining $16 on purchasing 4 blog links.

Is it for your hosting referral service ... the one in your signature? That seems pretty unique, and very useful to people looking for web hosting. I would expect that site to spread the word almost on its own. If I were you, I'd put the $20 in a money market account, give it some time, and talk about it on related forums.

Photography has gone digital. A middle of the road digital SLR, something like Canon's 5D, is better than 35 mm film in every measurable way. No one uses film any more, and the few Amish left who do have moved to medium format. There are hundreds of millions of people with digital cameras ... and I've noticed that most of them are looking for a good way to host them on the web so they can share them in forums, blogs, and email them without having to attach big files to every message.

There's a voracious demand for web hosting, so unless I'm off base thinking you're asking about the site in your sig, I think this is exactly what people mean when they say step one is building something people will want to visit.
