Where is the best place to advertise my home business on the Internet?

Here is a new book called "The Web 2.0 Traffic System" that will get your business recognized and get tons of new traffic to your site and mostly free to set up. This e-book costs a little pocket change but it well worth it. http://thewinners.blogap.hop.clickbank.net I am sure this will work for you as well as it has for me. Jerry

Well for the first thing , you can go to Google , type add url. Then enter you url in Google's database.(it's free). This will get you listed. Next go to Google , type Google analytical . Google Analytical is free and will track your visits,where they are from, time on page, exit points, etc. This is the basics. Now you are ready to start building traffic. There is a website that works with small businesses , called www.hypedrive.com. They specialize in blogs,reviews,links etc. Check with them or another company and compare quotes. You will have to decide if want to outsource or keep you marketing in house. Good Luck.

Once you get your site up you need to build inbound links. Most of the directories online charge a one time fee to review your site and add it to their index. Here are three of my favorites: http://www.avivadirectory.com/cgi-bin/affiliates/clickthru.cgi?id=kahmer http://www.kahmer.com http://www.joeant.com The more inbound links to your site, the better you will rank with Yahoo / Google / MSN. Also work on your meta tags. Here is an article on how they work: http://www.richkahmer.com/meta-tags.html

Have you thought about pay per click programs? The two biggest, I think, are Yahoo! and Google A few free resources – check out the sources box for links: 1) Create a blog pertaining to your field 2) Use Yahoo! Local & Yahoo! Groups – Be sure to read the TOS for each one! 3) Write articles pertaining to your field and/or expertise. 4) Advertise on Craiglist Also, consider signing up for an affiliate program. These programs enable you to advertise on other's sites (your affiliates) and once a sale is made to you, your affiliates & the program are paid a commission. I listed a few handy sites & articles relating to marketing, promotion & advertising. Here are some book titles that are relevant: * 301 Do-It-Yourself Marketing Ideas: From America's Most Innovative Small Companies by Sam Decker * Off The Wall Marketing Ideas: Jumpstart Your Sales without Busting Your Budget by Nancy Michaels, Debbi J. Karpowicz * Guerrilla Marketing for Free: Dozens of No-Cost Tactics to Promote Your Business and Energize Your Profits by Jay Conrad Levinson * Entrepreneur Magazine's Ultimate Small Business Marketing Guide: Over 1500 Great Marketing Tricks That Will Drive Your Business Through the Roof by James Stephenson Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

The best place is Google Adwords. You need a budget of at least $5 per day and .05 per hit. You can specify that once your $5 is used up for the day to pull your ad. They son't charge you unless you actually get a click on your website. Google will try to intimidate you by recommending that you spend $20K per month but just ignore them.

First of all, my best wishes for your success in Internet Marketing. The answer to "where is the best place" depends on what is your target market, where your customers come from etc. If you want instant "quality" traffic, you must try Google Adwords. Done properly, Google Adwords will reward you with instant traffic from among your target, niche and specific segment of potential customers. -- Joseph Ponnou http://www.internetmarketingtoolsntips.com

Internet marketing is a huge topic so for the long-term I would recommend that you set out to learn as much as you can about it. Some resources that have helped me include: Free e-books on a dozen different Internet marketing topics. They do promote SiteSell products but nonetheless provide a lot of great information: http://freetrial.sitesell.com/mdw.html (affiliate link) http://freetrial.sitesell.com (non-affiliate link) I have a Squidoo Lens that lists many free resources: http://squidoo.com/best-free-internet-advertising A few of the links on that page are mine but most of them were contributed by other Internet marketers. By the way, building a Squidoo Lens (free) is another great way to slowly but surely drive traffic to your site. You can sign up when you visit the site above. Visit forums, get to know people, help out, ask questions and include a link to your web site in your "sig file" or signature at the end of your post. Some good forums: http://wahm.com - Work At Home Moms -- you don't have to be a Mom to visit the forum but it is mostly women on the forum, which many women find very helpful. This is a great group of people--they are *very* helpful and many of them have years and years of home business experience. They even tolerate us guys who visit the forum! ;o) Look for "Message Boards" on the left side menu when you get to the site. Conquer Your Niche Forum -- A lot of newcomers ("newbies") to Internet marketing visit this forum because there are a lot of other people with experience who help them. You can also earn free ads on the site every time you read someone else's post or make a post yourself. As with the WAHM Forum, ask questions, help others, and include your web site info in your signature. Also post your ads. http://www.conqueryourniche.com/forum/mworthen - affiliate link http://www.conqueryourniche.com - non-affiliate link Note: When you sign up for the Conquer Your Niche Forum, you'll see an offer to upgrade to an "Elite" member for $197. Although if you use my affiliate link and were to buy the Elite membership, I would earn a commission, I do not recommend it. I just don't think you get $197 worth of extra features unless you plan to post several times a day. To learn how to write great ads, look at the ads that grab your attention on the site. Also invest in Headline Creator Pro, which sells for under $20 if you look around--search on Yahoo and Google and check out EBay. In five minutes it will generate over 50 possible headlines based on basic information you input into the program. Advertising on the Pay-Per-Click (PPC) programs like Google Adwords and Yahoo Search Marketing can be very effective but you really need to know what you are doing. You can lose a lot of money fast otherwise. There's a great guide at: http://payperclicksearchengines.com That site also ranks the PPC programs. You might want to start out using a smaller search engine such as GoClick, MIVA, or Enhance before Google or Yahoo. GoClick in particular is low-cost and has good service.
