Every-time I look into spending some money promoting my site, I always end up putting my chequebook away. I have tried a few experiments like buying text-link-ads to take advantage of the $100 in free links, but never anything major like creating adwords campaigns.
If you are on a tight budget then this may be a good post to read. SEOish asked 7 Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) experts:
“What would you do, if you only had $100 to spend on marketing a website?”
Some of the responses are quite interesting and witty. Common themes though seem to be invest in good hosting and just concentrate on writing good content. I kind of agree with these sentiments, but I’m really struggling to work out what to do next to break through to the next level, once you’ve established a decent amount of traffic like this blog.
Have you got any tips for me, or for any budding bloggers who are just starting out? What has worked well for you in the past? Did you put your hands in your own pockets and splash out some cash?
