Internet Advertising Help?

[eaziduzit23]

This question is probably a silly one to ask , but I actualy have come to a point where i cannot think anymore. I need to know how to advertise a website. Im currently using a company called [snip]. They seem to be okay.. but i wanted something alot better. Iam willing to pay good money to this company as well, but i want it to be just everywhere, but not spamed, This is also a normal website, does not consist of anything sextual at all. If anyone has any thoughts, ideas, to give me that would be very appreciated.

Thank you...

First off, I would consider doing some research for directories, either for your region or your niche.

Yahoo Directory and DMOZ.org are two obvious ones, but it is likely that if you are a car mechanic, for example, that you can get listed in a state or city directory.

Look at what sites are top listed for your keywords, and see who is linking to them, and see if you can get links from those sites as well.

Depending on your niche, if you have a particular area of expertise, it might be worthwhile contributing articles to another, busier website in exchange for a link to your site in the tagline. Those kinds of links can give you long-term traffic from people who read your article in the years to come, as well as search engine benefits.

Finally, depending on the goals of your website, you might find that advertising with Google Adwords, or Yahoo's Overture Pay per click services might bring your additional visitors, but keep in mind, you are paying for every click, so paying $5 to get $1 in sales, is not a good idea.

I don't know anything about the company that you referred to, but frankly I would not really recommend paying any company to get me listed "every where" - those kinds of services usually end in tears.

Well to make it simple, it is a baby website. I sell baby products,and my wife gives advice about babys as well. So I just wanted to be put out there. But not to over the top. Just somewhat out there.

Thanks for ur replys..

Why not try a free banner exchange program? If you search google for "show your site" you may find something that will suit you, but basically you join a community where each of you display a banner ad on your pages, and these banners rotate among all the members so you all advertise each others sites, without charge.
