I know of google AdWords and Yahoo Search Marketing, but what are some other really good internet advertising sites that are free or very low cost to use?
craigslist.com
myspace.com
Here is the description for a site where you can place free ads:
Free classifieds. Place your classified ads here – Huge traffic, active buyers and tens of thousands of fresh daily visitors ensure your items sell fast.
The site is http://www.usfreeads.com
I've used this several times and have had some good results using this technique. You can advertise not only products, but also services, websites, and ezines.
Even though you are aware of Google's AdWords and Yahoo Search Marketing, have you considered search engine optimization (SEO) of your website which truly promotes your web business without spending loads of money to become a "Sponsored" advertiser. You are invited to read the following strategy.
With 85% of Internet surfers using search engines/directories such as Google, Yahoo or MSN to find goods and services, it is very important to promote one's website by first publishing one's domain named website on these major search directories. To publish your website's domain name for FREE at Google's search directory, visit "http://google.com/addurl/?continue=/addurl" and fill-in the form. In another way, Google, Yahoo or MSN provide a Yellow Pages kind of advertisement for every website according to a set of ranking protocols. And there's where web designers and search engine optimizers play an critical role in marketing websites which in turn, display goods and services to be discovered [via search directories] by the rest of the world. The greater the appearance or presence that one's website can generate on search directories, the greater number of customers will accordingly visitor one's website.
As for the cost to market one's website via the Internet and more particularly — search directories, will depend initially with the proper design of webpages and the proper placement of metatags which are: <Title>, <Description> and <Keywords>.
A searchable <Title> would be "[name of the goods/services - a generic domain name is okay unless you own a well-know brand], [city], [state - postal abbreviation]" — up to 65 characters and spaces. The <Description> would be up to 20 words comprising a complete readable sentence which promotes interest in your business, i.e., "We sell quality _____ at a reasonable price, etc." And <keywords> would consist of 12-15 compound plural words separated by commas, i.e., "cars, planes, transportation, etc."
In conclusion, webpages can either be rather straightforward using only HTML text or be crafted totally as a graphic Flash configuration. Either way, care should be taken to complete the Properties entries for Title, Description and Keywords so that there is something that search robots can index. The more one is educated in crafting effective webpages along with metatag placement, the less will be spent to hire third-party consultants to assist you in this matter.
To demonstrate how search engines/directories work, go to Yahoo.com and type in the following search query: "pizza downtown los angeles." [Note: do not include the quotes (").] Again, this is a very generic query which means you want to order a "pizza" from "downtown" and in what city — "Los Angeles." Sounds fairly simple and then hit Enter. In a moment or two, there will appear some 1.3 million search results and among the top Five rankings will be a business called "Pizza Next Door, etc." The significance of this demonstration is to illustrate that most Interest shoppers will discover "Pizza Next Door," forthright because of its high web presence and ranking within the Top Five. So these shoppers are more or less likely to patronize this pizza establishment and hopefully in the long term; validate the owner and his family as having a profitable Internet enterprise.
Good luck!
The most effective form can be free advertising, and there are a lot of methods to do it. The problem though, is the same with using paid methods: they take time (and time is money). If you don't know what you are doing you will run into various problems with any free advertising campaign; wasting your time with advertising that just doesn't work. It is one thing to get traffic but it is another to get quality traffic that wants to visit your site.
There are lot of books that go in to detail about this. The most recent one I bought (and probably the best) is this one: http://urlfreeze.com/1/L-15cc/ It goes into a lot of detail about free and low cost methods of gaining traffic.
