Google Adwords Alternatives

By: Ronald Kang

Currently, it seems that everyone is buying into PPC promotion methods such as Google Adwords, Overture and Yahoo Search Marketing in an attempt to drive traffic to their sites. While these methods may be good and even effective, there are a great many other ways that are inexpensive or even free. You can drive tons of traffic to your site, but not just any ole traffic, "targeted" traffic! You will get people visiting your site who are looking for what "you" have!

Videos Rock! You can go a long way in driving traffic to your site by using videos to sell your product. You Tube is a huge, widely popular video site where you can reach a lot of people for free. Think about it, you have probably, at some point, opened your inbox to find an email from someone telling you to look at this funny video or that interesting video. What did you do? You likely clicked on it to see what all the hub bub was about, then you probably passed it on. Promoters who make videos have discovered that they can get cheap promotion by making interesting videos and putting them on YouTube. A video on YouTube can be up to 10 minutes so you have that amount of time to explain your product or service complete with pictures and sound. You may want to keep in mind the average person's rather short attention span and create your video accordingly.

Amazon and eBay: In on the Game Amazon and eBay are also breaking into the PPC market with their own programs. Amazon's ClickRiver.com and eBay's AmpKeywords.com place your ads on their sites allowing you to put your product or service in front of actual buyers.
