Question by Mike B: What is the best way to advertise a website?
I manage a webstie www.brimz.com. For the last year I have tried differnt ideas for advertising the site. It just seem very difficult becasue the product is NEW to the market. I feel that consumers having not seen the product are wearer to buy it. I have done diret mailings, magazine ads (baseball magazines #1 marktet), banner ads, Yahoo search marketing (overture), and banner ads. The only one that has had a good return was the product reviews, but they were very time consuming and unstable. Also we are on a LOW budget for this. It is a start up company.

In my area, the TV news networks have websites which have a community board for just such things. You might check with your local tV stations to see if they have one as well. Radio stations will do free “public service announcements” for things like that as well. Put your info in writing, keeping it short and sweet, and be sure to include a contact name and number if they have questions. Send it to all of them and sit back and wait.

Start a blog at eblogger.com. Research keywords for your product and write articles with the keywords inside. First, learn how to write English……here are some examples: home-based, not “baste”. It “helps” the body, not “help”. You won’t get anyone to read a blog with bad grammar.

Answer by Asher Heimermann
You could advertise on my website (www.AsherHeimermann.com). I charge $ 15/month for a banner on my website or $ 10/month for a link on the Marketplace page. My website adverages well over 1,500 visitors per month and 95% of the traffic comes within the United States of America. For 2008, my website had over 24,000 visitors. Contact me thru my website for more information.

Good luck.

Question by charley: What day of the week does the Guardian (newspaper) advertise environmental jobs?
The Guardian (newspaper) has adverts for different job sectors on specific days but I can’t find out what these are. I am looking specifically for graduate and environmental jobs, so want to know which day of the week to buy the newspaper. A full list of which jobs are advertised on which day would also be helpful.
I want to know the day of the week so that I can buy the paper on that day, rather than having to check the website (which I am already signed up to).

It really depends on your budget. You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com

Here are some shoestring marketing ideas that can help you get the visitors you need at the least cost possible:

1. Create the best content you can with the best products you can possibly offer. Your content is your best advertisement – if visitors love your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.

2. Make it easy for users to recommend your site. Viral marketing is very important — and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Get a Recommend this Site script from websites such as cgiscripts.com and similar directories of scripts. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more – that’s additional traffic that you get for FREE!

Recommend Site Scripts (various) http://php.resourceindex.com/Complete_Scripts/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Big Nose Bird Recommend this Site http://bignosebird.com/carchive/birdcast.shtml
CGI Resource Index http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/Website_Promotion/Recommend_Site/
Hostscripts http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Scripts_and_Programs/Site_Recommendation/index.html

3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.

If you are going to read only one piece on search engine optimization, I suggest you read Brett Tabke of WebmasterWorld.com’s “Successful Site in 12 Months with Google Alone: 26 steps to 15k a day.” http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum3/2010.htm

4. Send out press releases. While outfits charge as much as $ 650 per release, there are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.

5. Submit articles. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.

Answer by imisidro
You need to think of two things:

- Getting TARGETTED TRAFFIC (those interested in what you actually offer, not those get-100000-hits-for-$ 29.99 types of sites which is useless traffic)

- CONVERTING those visitors to buyers (getting them to your website is one thing; but making them actually buy is another thing)

You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use Google Adwords http://www.google.com/adwords or Yahoo http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com
