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.
Ok, a lot of people get a solid amount of traffic and almost no conversions when it comes to cpc or cpa. A good network like Right Media can help you earn from all that traffic. They have several advertisers who run through them and whoever pays the most, gets the ad spot. So you will always get the absolute best paying CPM from them.
Ok this is really only good for Local businesses but my buddy did it with a flawless reaction. He owned a laser tag place about a block from a movie theater and he ran his commercial before the movies. This cost him about $150 a week, which is kind of a chunk of change but it brought in about $10,000 a week in new business. Just and idea i figured i would share to you all.
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.
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.
One of the better experiments i have a ran is with PayU2Blog. I cost a few dollars per post you run but it is great for SEO and to drive some traffic. It is freeform so the basically write a story surrounding your keyword or phrase. With a small campaign i ran i got a boost in PR and boosted up in my keywords.
I was cruising around and found a Yahoo coupon and took their service for a run. It worked about the same as Google and since it only cost me $5 for a $50 credit so no matter what you cannot go wrong. Cruise around and find a coupon and give it a test run.
Here is a nice little vid explaining some search marketing, the only true kind.
