Types of advertising techniques that really work

Blog, Blog, Blog - but here is the key, you need to have good content and use wordpress. You need to actually use wordpress and install it on your hosting server. Don't use the free services that are remotely hosted because you can do so much more with wordpress. You can create linkbaits, you can control the look and feel much easier, you can install plugins, it automatically pings, etc.

Use eBay Auctions and Classified Ads It is an incredible way to get leads using eBay. Just put a link that talks more about what your selling to your blog and then you can generate traffic that way! The link has to be very relevant to what you are selling otherwise you violate terms.

Remember this equation: Targeted traffic = leads = big profits!


Use Craigslist, Backpage, InetGiant, etc. Free Classified ads do work as long as you have really good headlines. There are some things to watch when you post on these sites:
- Don't use .info urls.
- Change your IP many times
- Change headlines and ads
- Don't create an account but submit using several different email accounts.
- Avoid subdomain or affiliate links like the plague.

Myspace, Facebook, etc - here is the key - your Myspace page needs to be geared towards your customer, it has to be all about them and it has to brand you as a leader. Don't make your Myspace just a commercial about a business you are selling, make it a commercial about what a great leader you are and what you can bring to the table - make it about attraction marketing! You will be surprised at the kind of traffic that you can bring in!

Forums are a great tool to generate traffic to your website. The key is content. Whatever your business is or whatever your expertise is - you need to give great content. Here are some tips:
- Put your signature in the bottom with a catchy simple headline - avoid the hype it is so low class and outdated.
- Use PS in your posting - this works great
- Once you post a new topic, go back in a few days and then repost to the same topic with some new info on it to keep it at the top of the forum to get it read more - hence your signature will get read more!

There is a pradigm shift that all successful internet marketers go through in their thinking - rather than touting their business, they've learned to put the emphasis on their customers - what value and benefits can they offer their customers? Most people need to be exposed to a product or service 7 times before they invest in it - email auto responders is a great way to build your list and expose your products. You can also put a newsletter opt in link on your blog to grow your email list as well.

Great content - be it information, service, products - providing relevance and usefulness gives you higher chances of making a visitor into a customer.
Forum and blog posting on relevant niche - you participate constructively and learn new things while promoting your site via signature.
Pay-Per-Click - done properly, best at getting target traffic faster on a direct marketing approach to your potential clients.
Targeted Link backs - another premium way of getting the right traffic and would help also in PR building so long as you submit to high PR sites or directory
Article marketing - useful and relevant articles to your niche is a nice way of link baiting.
SEO - through link building - this will get you more traffic in the long run.

Joining the Myspace business chatroom is a great way to meet new prospects in a more personable way.

You could also look at usfreeads.com, scribd.com (Google loves this at the minute).
Build some free sites on longtail phrases, use weebly.com - the sites cool and costs you nothing.



Upload some video with longtail tags to various video sites. These rank very well, and can be indexed in a matter of hours sometimes. Once you have a few of these in place then start submitting them to web 2.0 sites for extra power in their rankings.

One method not to overlook is simply talking to people offline. If you sell a service to businesses you can get a 20% or HIGHER response just by going and talking to them in person. And if businesses can become a centre of influence and send you a steady stream of business you can use the same method - just go talk to the owners. You can waste weeks, months even years of time being too clever. Sometimes it's best just to go straight to the source.

Another really cool way to double your traffic overnight - write an article, then go to base.google.com. Go to reference articles and post your article there with a link to your blog - usually these get indexed within 24 hrs.

Write a press release and submit it to webwire.com. Your press release will be on the front pages of google in a matter of minutes. This is a very effective way of getting instant traffic to your site.

If you are using Craigslist, try using an image based ad where you put your url in the image that way you wont get busted for using the same url to many times. Craigslist cannot read an image. It works like a charm. Then host your images on a variety of free image servers. Make sure that all your images are named differently so that Craigslist does not catch on.

Something you can do quickly every day. Diligently start posting ads to the classifieds. I know a guy who's site ranked in the 200s at Alexa just doing free advertising on a daily basis for a few years. Even today the site ranks well. Don't overlook free advertising.

All the above information was amassed from Forum Postings from people who have achieved success with their respective on-line businesses. I hope they will give you inspiration and the tools to go on and achieve your own success.
