Thanks Mesas for agreeing to me. You can also get good results by advertising on Social networking websites.

Paid: i am already try paid advertising and invest $150 and get only 5 - 10 click :(

but Free Advertising is good, Search in google "Free Classified" and submit your classifieds in all free sites.

- Blog Commenting
- Forum Posting,Reply,etc
- Advertise on your own other sites
- Free Classifieds
- Free URL Submission

Cheap Paid Advertisements:
- Business Listening in Yellow Pages
- Hosting Directory(Costly)
- Buy Links
- PPC Advertising, Page Impression
- Hire someone for posting your advertise in free sites. :)

Word of Mouth
While you can blab all you want about your business, people will listen only if other customers talk. So encourage them to spread the word about your business, if they are happy with your services and products. When people listen to reviews of fellow customers, they feel that they can trust the business better. A small trick here is to hire a 'talker' who will pretend to be your customer – for a fee – and talk about your business to prospective customer and talk at length about the awesomeness that your business is.

I do not agree with you. Free advertising is not as effective as paying. For example, if you sell using Facebook, otherwise paid advertising will be difficult to reach potential customers. This will take a lot of development opportunities of the business.

So, combine paid and free ads appropriately. Calculate budget for advertising in a reasonable way.

free & paid?

please could people help me out here, thank you

regards,

Both free and paid advertisement is useful post brand awareness. For free techniques go with SEO, SMM, SMO and for paid go with PPC and google adwords. Both the techniques can get your site a better search engine ranking by boosting traffic to site.

Both the ways have their own pros & cons.

In the paid advertisements, sometime returns are much much lower compared to the cost of advertisement. For example, a banner on a well known hosting directory in a particular category will cost you $400 to $500 a month ... and returns are not that high :(

Free advertisements are much cheaper, but it is hard to find a good traffic using it. Or you need to do really hard work to have very good traffic.

Hi,

Paid advertising can not be ever equivalent to Free advertising. It depends on your business nature. If you get free advertisement that effectively caters your business needs so you must go with it otherwise not.

In general, paid advertisements have been found most reliable and quality oriented as compare to free advertisement.

If you want quick results then paid advertising can be option but keep in mind its long term process at start there will be no profit. For long term seo and for seo the best option for me is the same thing which digital ocean do their tutorials come whenever I search for seo and they are best you can do same and get good results.

If you are looking at online advertising, then there are various free resources that can be utilized. You can make use of the article directories, blogging websites, forums and communities for advertising and for backlinks as well. With a good online presence, getting good incoming traffic will not be a problem at all.

Working on SEO is a must for every website to get in the serches. If you work properly on the On-page and Off-page SEO techniques, you will be benifited. You can use forums and blogs, include your signature for advertisment. Apart from this you can opt for banner advertisments and text links on high PR websites.

Its depend on your business both are good. If you want to go for free then do off page SEO or do social media and play and on Classified Sites. If you you want paid then you can play ads on Facebook and adword but its depend on your business If your targate customers are on facebooks then its worth full.

The best way to advertise your website or business are SEO and internet marketing. They are really effective in generating traffic and visitors. Some SEO strategy that you can use to advertise your business or website are link building, social bookmarking, article submission and directory submission.

I think free advertisement are better than the paid ones. They are giving the response as slow but, the advantage is that they last for long time and thus, the customers will get all those benefits as they are getting in paid ones, but here they are getting free of cost that is non-paid.

If you work properly on the On-page and Off-page SEO techniques, you will be benifited. You can use forums and blogs, include your signature for advertisment. You should advertise your products in relatives sites or directories. It will help you more to increase your products value.

The most cost effective method is probably SEO - generating your traffic through organic search.
In the web hosting business, you probably shouldn't go for PPC because the leads are very expensive. It could go up to $20-30 per lead which is really not worth the investment.

I believe that social media marketing nowadays is the most profitable way of advertisements. It gives user interaction and good amount of traffic of your targeted customers if everything is done properly. However it is very competitive niche and you must be very fast in that.

For Long term advertisement you need free marketing..
Do paid advertisement when there is some festivals, Other wise Free advertisement is the best way. You can post your Offer, ads into Social Media, in Forums, Blogs, Optimize your pages so you will get good clicks etc..

There are many ways for adveting. You want to know which one is good paid or Free they depend on your need or Budget If you have hight budget then play full paid marketing if you have low budget then do proper off page SEO and little bit invest money on paid ads.

WAYS TO ADVERTISE YOUR BUSINESS
Use the local press
Create and distribute niche flyers
Win over an influential blogger
Invest in Google AdWords
Try social media advertising
Create a Google Places listing
Honest advertising practices

Marketing Online

1. Start a web presence
2. Use Twitter.
3. Create a Facebook page.
4. Get on Yelp.

6. Create an account with a free online directory.
7. Join appropriate online communities.

Look for good forum to advertise.Put all the info and details of your products including external links but before that make sure to read rules and regulation of one forum before you post to avoid banned and to have a title of spammer.So be careful

I think the best way of advertising is promoting link on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and media websites such as youtube !! Another way is working on SEO or web developing!!

Both Services are good for online advertising, it completely depends on the requirement of any business. SEO is a very slow process in the promotion of website but very stable and long term helpful. I would like to suggest you go with SEO.

I think internet is the best way for anyone to advertise. You can try up for free rather than paid one, as it has more cost effective, and price issues which will easily attract to the customers and will affect to the purchase.

The best ways of advertising are Search engine optimization and Pay Per Click. Business email list marketing is a highly cost-effective method of reaching business by specific industry with your product or service messages.

Both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages include with them. But, I prefer to free web hosting service, their results came across little slower but, they last for long and are more reliable than paid ones.

Some companies are using email and sms marketing for advertising its services. Perhaps this is working and it is efficient if you have a good email database but if you don't this could be useless and recieved as spam.

They are really effective in generating traffic and visitors. Some SEO strategy that you can use to advertise your business or website are link building, social bookmarking, article submission and directory submission.

Its depend on your business but I can give you some general tips which evey business need. Like you sholud to Off page SEO ativity and do man focuse on Social media for brand awareness and side by side play paid ads.

The best way is Social networking websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, tumblr, vk, Flickr, vine, meetup, tagged, ask, classmates, plus.google, meetme, YouTube, snapchat, Reddit, swarm app, v tag, pheed etc..

There are many ways for running free ads but I suggest you these activity (.Classified Sites. Social Media. Blog Commenting and Article Submission.) And for paid ads (Google Ads. .Guest posting Facebook paid ads.)

I'd say target forums that allow advertising, try to join the community, not just register and posting, and also try other methods mentioned above. Also SEO might be a good choice too, so keep that in mind.

Paid and Free both are good If you go with paid advertisement you will get instant result but you will not get estability and If you go with free advertisement you got estability but not get intent result.

Pay-Per-Click(PPC) is the Best way for Advertising..
This makes your site listed in the top of the google page..

If you want to avoid spending cash, forums are a good place, although you have to join in with the community first.

Use all the free solutions ( usually they are time consuming) and paid advertising if you need it.

Facebook is the best option for advertising. You can increase the page rank within few days.

Also emails is a good source of marketing also its very cheap solution you can consider it.
