Ads With No Adwords

For many advertisers Google Adwords and Adsense are synonymous with internet marketing. They either forgot or never knew that other methods of advertising can be equally profitable and take a smaller amount of cash outlay.

For people who do not know it, Ad Words is a marketing business offering payperclick advertising. With every viewing of the advertisement the person who posts the ad is assessed a minor fee.

This fee is generally less than a dollar but can quickly add up over time, particularly if the keywords chosen for the ad are ones that are very popular and are therefore going to generate a large number of false leads. It is a gamble, and in the same manner as a casino it requires very little effort for a pay per click marketing campaign to slowly drain the coffers of a company's 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.

A blog or forum is a very cheap way to use the power of social networking to get your name and cause 'out there'. A blog or forum is very useful for people who are interested in a certain topic to meet with others of similar interest. This is a great way to get some exposure.

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.

One other method is to post an advertisement on another businesses website. Your choice of sites is the thing to focus on, and the use of careful analysis to discover sites that people interested in your subject might visit often is important.

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.

Rather than being paid for writing an article a canny advertiser will write the article and offer this article for use on a related website as content in exchange for including the writers name and site info at the bottom as a resource box. This method is known as link building.

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.

Instead, the author can write an article which will have links to key information locations on their own website scattered throughout the article. If the reader comes to a point where they wish to explore an idea more thoroughly or they cannot grasp what is going on they can select the link and it will instantly transport them to the other site.

This is called hosted web content and the majority of sites charge some kind of fee in exchange for displaying your article because a visitor can be taken 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.
