This is again only good really for local businesses. Head out to your local race track. You can get a decent size ad on a car for dirt cheap. I am talking $50-$200. It might work it might not. It depends on the business mostly. For that money you can get a hood ad, door or fender for cheap. This would most likely be in the bomber class but you might get lucky and hit up the Street Stock. Check it out, it could pay off big.
Some people over look the simplicity of old games. I have a few friends who are staying with and i had just picked up the electronic Monopoly and Life. We have been playing them almost every night. Cheesy yes but fun. We cruised to target tonight and picked up Sorry, Apples and Apples (great game) and Risk. All great games and been doing some normal life stuff for once instead of the High Tech way.. Well kinda….
Myspace marketing was once a great way for PR and SERPS but now they have a URL shortener that kills your direct links. You were able to blast comments and get an insane amount of back links daily but they killed it. IT is down but not gone. If you have a site that can be fueled by direct traffic like image uploaders or a cool content site that needs pure viewers to spread then it is still perfect. So SEO and PR pointless, traffic and spreadable content = Gold.
People take this shrewd piece of information as fact and it is pretty absurd. Some people think by giving external links that it hurts their own PR. External links from your site has nothing to do with your PR. If you have 10 external links on a PR5 site you are dividing the PR you send out by 10. If you give a hundred links you are dividing it by 100. Yet this does not harm your PR, you are not giving yours away, you use your clout to vote for other sites. Nothing more. so by having more links your vote does not count as high but you do not hurt yourself in anyway. You could trade 10,000 links and still have great PR, your site would be full of crap and look bad but it would hurt you none..
Another blog ad company i took a test run on was Pay Per Post. I got a coupon from a forum a while back so i gave it a try. You have a lot of control over your posts, what PR they go on, what Alexa range and categories. They charge a 1/3 charge on whatever the bloggers get. It was a nice run and also helped PR and SERPS. Once again it helps drive some traffic if you get decent blogs. They also have PPP Direct if you are looking for specific blogs. It is actually a lot cheaper if you go that route.
Do not take most information on blogs and sites at face value. 90% do not know what they are talking about and spread their false words as fact and next thing you know they are considered an expert in the field followed only by sheep who will take what they say as fact instead of using common sense of their own. It is just frustrating seeing fools follow fools in this market but then again it lets the people who know what they are doing take full advantage of any situation.. Gotta Love the Internet.
With all the new advertisement companies out there i have noticed a large hike in blogs. Many of them are around for money but there is still a lot out there that are just for fun. I have couple i just post on strictly for fun. No ads of any kind. They are there for the sole purpose of sharing my views and opinions no matter how much they dick people off. Do you Blog for fun or money???
Many people start out for fun but quickly turns to money. It is a good market with plenty of need for it.
I ran a few AdBrite campaigns. If you are advertising it is only good for foreign traffic really. And for a publisher you have to have an insane amount of traffic and clicks to do any real damage.If you are trying to get traffic but do not care about quality then it is a great way to go. There is far better ways to spend money on advertising and i would suggest you dodge that bullet.
This is a nifty little program that allows you to earn points from links and you can use them to get thousands of other links in return. This is a cheap looking banner but their program is decent. They have to many Russian sites but it all works for PR.
Check them out and see if you dig it. Works flawless on WP sites with decent PR.
I am a video junky and in about a week or so Halo 3 is going to drop. I will be on it like a fiend. I was a huge Halo 2 nut and well i just can not wait for this. I am stoked about the ranking system. I got hooked on ranks in Rainbow Six Vegas. Heard they have some new vehicles and got some new weapons and spruced up some old ones. I will miss some of the old levels they are not gonna include in this one but hey we will get new ones. Here is the trailer.
