7 Ways to Promote your Site with a Bit of Money

Some time ago I wrote an article titled “Are you marketing your blog?” where I argued that there is a myth around the Internet that bloggers and webmasters should not spend money on advertising. The myth comes in great extent from the success stories of people that managed to create popular websites without spending a dime on advertising or other paid promotion techniques.

The reality is that most of those successful websites were pioneers on their niche, hence why they became popular without spending money on advertising. Now a days the market is crowded and you have thousands of websites and blogs even for small segments. As a consequence paid promotional techniques are becoming an important factor of any successful marketing strategy.

Below you will find 7 ways to promote your website or blog with a bit of money. You can use them to generate raw traffic, improve your search engine rankings, gain visibility on your niche and so on. Despite the initial investment most of those techniques will pay off on the short to medium term. If you are expecting to make money with your website there is no reason to assume that you will not need to spend some as well, right?

1. AdWords: Google make billions of dollars every year from the AdWords-AdSense combo. Why is that? Because they work. Adwords is probably the most efficient method to generated raw traffic for your website. In order to get started you should create an account, add lots (by lots I mean hundreds if not thousands) of keywords that are related your site and set the maximum Pay-per-Click rate at $0.01. After that raise the rate by $0.01 every week or so until you start getting the desired amount of daily clicks. Notice that at lower bids the keywords will be reported as “Inactive for Search”. Do not worry about it, it just means that your ads will not appear on the search network (Google’s search results), but they will appear on the content network (websites of people that use AdSense).

2. Site-Specific AdWords: if you pay attention to the AdSense units you will see that most of them have a link titled “Advertise on this site”. This feature enables AdWords advertisers to create customized ads that will be displayed only on specific websites. Those ads work on a CPM (cost per 1000 impressions) rather than a CPC (cost per click) basis, but they can generate a good amount of very targeted traffic since you will be in control of where the ad will be displayed and of the message. You can get even better results if you use some creativity when designing the ads, click here for some examples.

3. StumbleUpon Ads: StumbleUpon is a very innovative social bookmarking site that allows users to discover great websites by using a browser toolbar. When the user clicks on “Stumble” he will be delivered a website that people with similar interested rated positively. The user is also able to give positive and negative ratings to any website that he visits on the Internet. StumbleUpon also offers advertising campaigns, called StumbleUpon Ads, where you can deliver your website directly to those “Stumblers”. It costs $0.05 per page delivered, but since the websites that appear on StumbleUpon usually have a high quality it is very likely that part of that paid traffic will convert into regular readers.

4. Text Link Ads: if you are trying to increase your search engine rankings to leverage organic traffic you should consider buying some text link ads. While those text links can also generate direct traffic the biggest benefit you will have is an improvement on your search rankings, specially if the links are placed on authoritative and relevant websites. There are several places to buy text links, including specialized companies like Text-Link-Ads and Text Link Brokers or online forums like Digital Point’s market place.

5. Direct Banner Sales: most established websites sell banner ads or sponsorship plans directly. Those advertising deals usually are structured with weekly or monthly fees, regardless of the number of impressions or clicks that you will get. Despite this characteristic a banner placement can represent good value for money because apart from the direct traffic you will also create visibility and brand awareness. Readers of the website where you will display your banner will associate the message on the banner with your site or blog. Should they come across that banner or message two or three times it is very likely that they will get curious and decide to check what the buzz is all about. Another advantage of banner placements is the fact that people will unconsciously think that the author of the website endorses your content or product.

6. Sponsored Reviews: buying some sponsored reviews is a good way to kick-start a website. They will bring backlinks, traffic and RSS subscribers. There are many market studies confirming that “word of mouth” is the most efficient way to capture people’s attention, and that is just what you get with sponsored reviews. You can either pay a low price (sometimes as low as $5 per review) to get a large number of reviews from small sites or you can focus on large players (which can charge several hundreds of dollars for a single review) that are authorities on your niche. The best way to purchase sponsored reviews is through sites like SponsoredReviews.com, ReviewMe or PayPerPost.com.

7. Blog Networks: there are several blog networks founded around a traffic exchange principle. Basically you create an account for you blog and you earn credits by surfing other members’ blogs. Afterwards you can use those credits to make people visit your blog or to display your banners around the network. The interesting part is that most of those blog networks allow users to purchase credits with money, and the price is really convenient. You should be able receive hundreds of visitors or to get thousands of banner impressions for less than 10 dollars. Some blog networks that sell credits include Blog Explosion, Blog Soldiers and Blog Advance.

    I’m so far behind the times with all of this advertising that all of the above seem like they would be a ‘next step’ in the blog evolution for me.

    I have maintained personal blogs in the past that have amassed a good loyal base readership so I’m fine in the aspect of getting readers to like ‘me’.
    I have also created websites that have, in one example, generated thousands of daily users.

    The problem is I have always footed the bills for the hosting and such and had the frame of mind that I want my sites to be ad-free for my users.

    Recently I’ve wanted to learn more about domaining and adsense and such, so flew over to LA for Domainfest in January. Since then I’ve become more interested in how advertising works, who gets the money, what the deal is with keywords etc.

    The reason for setting up my blog was so that I could a) keep up with the industry a little, and b) test the waters with these various cash generating methods.

    I see now that there are many things to learn, and that the industry as a whole (PPC etc) is not as easy as it is made to look by those earning a good income from it.

    I also now have a change of heart for those who use adverts. I’ve gone from someone who has never used it on sites to someone who would jump at the chance, and from someone who though PPC was evil, to having a few websites parked myself.

    I now even tend to reward people in the blogosphere by their advertising. Example, there were two comments on one of your recent posts - one I disagreed strongly with (due to the ignorance and harsh nature of the commenter) so I visited their site, had a brief read and then moved on. The second comment I agreed very much with and thought was insightful. So I went to their site and clicked on an advertisement, hopefully earning them $1 in the process.

    I used to simply ignore advertisements, now I seem to be using them as I would a ‘vote up or down’ button on a social networking site.

    But still, I don’t think I’m ready to delve into the paying side of the industry just yet - I want to get fully comfortable with the way it all works first.

    Thanks for the post.

    Amos

  2. Maki @ DoshDosh on March 29th, 2007 9:11 am

    Great post Daniel.

    I would personally save all that money and hire a great SEO to increase search traffic. Maybe a proven link baiter as well. You really only need one great article to explode in your niche.

    Sponsored Reviews are really the only other option that I think are worth while. Also note that Blog traffic exchange networks might not work well with bloggers running Adsense.. because you’re basically autosurfing your way to impressions and clicks.

    Some bloggers have gotten letters from Adsense disapproving of the blog networks you’ve listed.

  3. engtech on March 29th, 2007 9:14 am

    Once again I have a similar post to this in the works :)

    I’ve been playing around with different advertising methods and I’m writing a summary of my experiences. I’ll be posting it on monday.

  4. engtech on March 29th, 2007 9:18 am

    Also, might want to check out this Yahoo Pipes for getting an RSS feed when your side is submitted on Reddit or Digg: http://pipes.yahoo.com/pipes/p.....h___l7okhQ

    It can be very useful for going back and adding a digg/reddit vote widget directly to the post. Having those widgets with the Digg/Reddit vote counts goes a long way to getting votes.

    cheers

  5. Daniel on March 29th, 2007 9:23 am

    Amos, thanks for sharing your point of view. I agree with you with the fact that it depends on your objectives and what kind of blog or website you are trying to create. There is no need to invest money into a personal blog with the simple objective of sharing ideas and meeting some new people. If you are trying to make money though I think paid advertising options need to be considered. Even high profile bloggers like John Chow are starting to spend money with marketing.

    Maki, I also think that hiring a SEO could be a good investment, but usually they cost a lot of money so you should have a clear strategy on how this money will return. Better yet would be to invest some time and learn SEO yourself :).

    Also thanks for the heads up on Adsense issues related to the Blog Networks, that is something to keep in mind.

  6. Maki @ DoshDosh on March 29th, 2007 9:24 am

    Engtech.. I’ve read your post and thought it was great. Don’t you think the link you inserted is a little irrelevant to Daniel’s post?

    He’s not writing about social networks or link baiting. He’s writing about spending money on advertising to promote a specific website.

  7. George on March 29th, 2007 9:34 am

    If you have Adsense on your site you should avoid using systems like blog explosion, because they are against Google’s TOS. Or at least that is what someone from Google told me when I researching it a while back.

    Great article though.

  8. George on March 29th, 2007 9:35 am

    Ooops, just noticed that Maki said the same thing as I did. My bad…

  9. Andrew Timberlake on March 29th, 2007 9:37 am

    I’m no expert on StumbleUpon but have read that most of the users are more like channel surfers of the web so you shouldn’t expect a high number of repeat visitors.
    Not sure how accurate that is but worth considering.

  10. Daniel on March 29th, 2007 9:39 am

    Engtech, I am looking forward for your post describing the promotional techniques that you use.

    I will explore that pipe, I am still learning how to leverage them to promote feeds and stuff so it will be interesting.

  11. egon on March 29th, 2007 9:56 am

    George, that would be a good thing to look into, it’s important to understand which methods are incompatible with each other, otherwise you’ll be marketing and the next thing you know you’re banned from AdSense.

  12. Mark on March 29th, 2007 10:30 am

    Daniel
    Your Adwords idea of bidding $0.01 is very, very interesting. I have run a couple of adwords campaigns already with mixed success but during the adwords set-up stage I always increased my bid to a higher amount until I receive the ‘active for search’ sign. Your statement that lower bids are possible (albeit results are shown on the content netword) is a real eye opener.
    Anyway I’ve just altered all my max CPC bid amounts to £0.01 (about 2 US cents), got the ‘inactive for search’ warning and will sit back and see what happens.
    Thanks in advance for any money saved.

  13. George on March 29th, 2007 12:38 pm

    I am sure that blog explosion is against Google’s TOS, because I looked into it when their site was up for sale.

    As far as, stumbleupon, I am not sure I would buy ads there until I see some good research on stumbleupon user habits. I have been testing it out as a purely free traffic source recently, but don’t know how valuable it is for gaining repeat visitors.

  14. Brian Auer on March 29th, 2007 2:46 pm

    It’s funny, I have the “Advertise on this Site” option on the ads in my blog, but I never thought to actually sign up for that on OTHER sites. I’ll have to look into this — thanks!

  15. Sujan Patel on March 30th, 2007 11:50 am

    Another great post. I actually spend quite a few dollars with su ads and it worked out great. It helped jump start my post. In total I bought 5000 clicks from stumble upon which resulted in 14000 visitors because alot of my stories made the buzz section. Just FYI.

  16. Andrew Timberlake on March 30th, 2007 10:39 pm

    Sujan

    I’m sure you can get a lot of traffic, but did it have an impact on your long term traffic and/or subscribers or was it just a spike?

  17. Daniel on March 31st, 2007 1:53 am

    Sujan that is a good investment I think. 5,000 clicks costed you $250 right? But you ended up getting 14,000 unique visitors. That is huge traffic plus I am sure at least 10% of those visitors will return to your site, and some might have grabbed the RSS feed also.

  18. Hammer on March 31st, 2007 4:58 pm

    Are you insane? $.05 per click to send traffic to a blog that probably isn’t monetized for a $.05 per impression ROI? How desperate are you people for readers?

  19. Daniel on April 1st, 2007 3:01 am

    Hammer, its not about buying raw traffic. Bloggers are not affiliate marketers hehe. When you do a marketing campaingn with StumbleUpon or anything else you are betting on the quality of your content. If the content is good you will get regular readers out of those campaingns, how can you calculate the ROI of a visitor that will keep visiting your site for the next year to come, contributing with comments and supporting your ads? Quite a difficult task eh?

    You can’t fake quality and thus buy readers. If you have good and useful content your blog will do well, the paid marketing campaigns just represent a way to make more people discover your content faster.

    Also you said “How desperate are you people for readers?”. Well, I think the proper phrase is “How confident on the quality of your content are you people?”. Because if you are that confident than $0.05 for a new reader is really a good investment.

    Don’t use blog soldiers like sites if you are using adsense , they will ban you. I got a warning from adsense team, i removed it that moment from my site:www.actresssnaps.com. So I escaped. I have heard stories of people getting banned because of that.

    Blogdemic is a new service that allows blogs to trade imps, base on related topics etc.

    Blogdemic can dynamically/automatically create your advertising banner using your RSS feed and we also allow our users to setup default tags (like google adsense) to be disable along with our blog users tags (you can set the percentage)

  37. sponkit on November 2nd, 2007 2:23 am

    The tips are helpful for bloggers who are just starting but to those people who use Google Adsense, I think it will be fine if the bloggers will generate natural traffic (a kind of traffic that would be generated from the search engine or pinging sites) so the blogexplosion won’t be okay to use.

  38. Purpleminded on November 11th, 2007 9:59 am

    Thanks for the heads-up on the blog networks. I’m intrigued by the low ad rates at Blog Explosion. Just wondering if you, or any of your readers has personal experience with them. The banner exchanges of a few years ago weren’t very productive.

  39. PurpleMinded on November 13th, 2007 6:48 pm

    I keep reading about Text Link Ads, but the costs they’re quoting blow me away… can it possibly be worth it? Anyone with a solid experience with them? Thanks!

    Two new studies show why some people are more attractive for members of the opposite sex than others.

    The University of Florida, Florida State University found that physically attractive people almost instantly attract the attention of the interlocutor, sobesednitsy with them, literally, it is difficult to make eye. This conclusion was reached by a series of psychological experiments, which were determined by the people who believe in sending the first seconds after the acquaintance. Here, a curious feature: single, unmarried experimental preferred to look at the guys, beauty opposite sex, and family, people most often by representatives of their sex.

    The authors believe that this feature developed a behavior as a result of the evolution: a man trying to find a decent pair to acquire offspring. If this is resolved, he wondered potential rivals. Detailed information about this magazine will be published Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

    In turn, a joint study of the Rockefeller University, Rockefeller University and Duke University, Duke University in North Carolina revealed that women are perceived differently by men smell. During experiments studied the perception of women one of the ingredients of male pheromone-androstenona smell, which is contained in urine or sweat.

    The results were startling: women are part of this repugnant odor, and the other part is very attractive, resembling the smell of vanilla, and the third group have not felt any smell. The authors argue that the reason is that the differences in the receptor responsible for the olfactory system, from different people are different.

    It has long been proven that mammals (including human) odor is one way of attracting the attention of representatives of the opposite sex. A detailed article about the journal Nature will publish.

    Sponsored review can be quite costly. Most reviews also have short display duration and you might not cover the cost. It all depends on which site your review will be posted. If it is a massive traffic site, then it might be worth the money.

  43. Aneesh on December 3rd, 2007 5:05 am

    I have tried adwords once and it generated quite a good amount of traffic to my blog..

  44. Mr.Pinoy on December 7th, 2007 8:00 am

    I have pretty much tried all the tips and tricks but I think in the end it just takes time and good content…

  48. Lindsay on February 16th, 2008 8:58 am

    ….I also wanted to get some advice in terms of what to expect from my blog. In the month that it has been active, I have only made $1.17! I wonder if this is due to the lack of traffic (averaging a measly 50 hits a day right now), or if it is the placement and types of ads I am using. If someone feels up to taking a look around my site and giving me some advice on this topic, I would GREATLY appreciate it!!

    Nice summary of the services out there. I personally am a fan of stumbleupon ads as it also provides you with feedback and reader’s thoughts/reviews on your blog.

    In the same vein, we recently rolled out a Featured Blog program that lets bloggers promote their blog on Youlicit (http://www.youlicit.com/) using a neat widget.

  61. Embryo on May 31st, 2008 9:12 am

    StumbleUpon brings lots of visitors, but the problem is they are not very valuable. I don’t use it for long (maybe 1 month), but I already noticed the following: usually, the average time a user stays on my blog is around 40 seconds, maybe less or more (the blog is new), while the visitors who accessed my site via a StumbleUpon link only stayed around 3 seconds. I’m using Google Analytics to track my site. So practically, what happens is: someone finds a link to my blog, checks it out and quickly closes the session. I know you may argue that the content may be the problem, but how comes visitors from other sites stay even 1 minute or more (that’s enough to read a full article plus look a little around).

  62. SEO Genius on June 3rd, 2008 1:29 pm

    Some great tips again thanks :) i am rather interested in trying the stubmle upon idea :)

    You can also use paid newsletter advertisements: For example paying someone to add your website as a link or an advertisement box to their newsletter which would be in the same niche.
    An SEO website paying for someone to advertise their website in an SEO newsletter which maybe sent out weekly or monthly.

    Adwords will certainly add traffic to a site. Lots more traffic actually.

    Before I started using Adwords, someone told me that they were paying .01 per click. When I tried it, I just assumed that Google had raised the price, but now I know the deal.

    Thanks for all the useful info! It is very helpful!

    …I go against paying something for advertising my blog. Simply because I don’t need to spend money to advertise it, since I don’t take any $$$ from my blog. ;)

    But this might be useful for people that want to earn living from internet, though.

    I had not considered advertising with Stumbleupon. In fact, I didn’t know you could do that. Of course I have tried to get some traffic from the site, which can be difficult–but buying ads may just be a good way to be more effective.

    A year after this was written, and still extremely relevant. Thanks for the stumble upon tip - hadn’t thought of that.

    I tried adword and it works effectively for me.

  87. Bluewire Media on November 21st, 2008 11:37 pm

    Thank you.

    StumbleUpon ads are something we hadn’t heard of until I read this article. For us, Google Adwords get the best result for paid marketing by far - provided of course it is monitored closely and fine tuned regularly!

    What are some of the metrics to look for to know how well paid advertising is working? What percentage of visitors should I expect to come back, assuming of course quality content?

    Thanks for the heads-up on the blog networks. I’m intrigued by the low ad rates at Blog Explosion. Just wondering if you, or any of your readers has personal experience with them.

    To get noticeably better search engine results you should get listed in one or two high quality directories. The best one for the value, in my opinion is BEst of the Web (http://botw.org/?uid=34078). I think the improved results make the fee worth it.
