Ads With No Adwords

Google Adwords and AdSense have become the rage in internet marketing, enough so that many have forgotten there are other means of advertising which can be equally successful and require the investment of much smaller amounts of capital.

If you are not familiar with this topic, Adwords is a pay-per-click advertising/marketing business; when someone views an ad posted with Adwords the advertiser pays a fee.

Fees for pay-per-click are normally well under one dollar. But these small fees quickly combine to represent a lot of money. This happens more rapidly when the keywords that are used are very popular and general and create higher than average false leads. This method is a gamble and like casino gambling it is very easy to eat up a large advertising budget.

Fortunately, contrary to popular belief AdWords is not the only means of advertising on the internet; as a matter of fact, it is not even the most commonly used technique. There are many ways with which to skin a cat, and the internet marketer intelligent enough to step beyond the boundaries of AdWords will quickly find their profits growing without the continual draining of their budget.

The simplest and least expensive method of advertising without AdWords is to utilize the powers of social networking through blogs and forums. Each of these is a community feature, which allows web surfers to come together to discuss topics that are of great interest to them, and the exposure is unbelievable.

If an advertiser puts a post on a blog whose topic is related to his product or website, and in that post he includes a link to his website he can increase his websites exposure to people interested in what he sells. And he doesn't have to put out any cash.

Advertising on some other businesses website is another great marketing method. The trick comes in choosing the site to advertise on. The most important thing is to analyze with care his desired audience and find the sites they visit the most.

There are three methods of advertising on another individuals site.

You can put together a text or banner ad and pay the desired site a fee to put the ad on his site. You should be aware that this might not be better than the AdWords/ppc method. The exception would be if they will charge a customary charge for the time your ad is on display.

In the two other ways you use the might of quality web content. Quite a few companies will pay writers to compose articles that contain information about the topic of their website, so they can put them on their sites to improve their search engine standing and increase the traffic to their site.

To help others build content and get free advertising you can practice what is known as 'link building'. The way you do this is create an article on a topic related to your product or website, then offer this article to a related website as content so long as they put your name and site information at the bottom as a resource.

Of course, link building only works if the reader in question actually reads the article all the way to the end, then decides that they liked it well enough to see what else the author has to offer. With the short attention span that most internet web browsers happily boast, this is not very likely.

Another way is to write the article with links to informational location on your own site sprinkled through the article. So when the reader comes to an idea they want to know more about they can click on it and they can go directly to your site where there is more information.

This is what is known as hosted web content; most other sites will charge a fee for this service, as it draws visitors away from their site.

With strategic use of these ideas you can be profitable and limit your use of the, sometimes dangerous attractions of AdWords. You can walk away with pride and wallet undamaged.
