How to Get Internet Advertising Cheap!

<h1>How to Get Internet Advertising Cheap!</h1>Author: <a title="Mike Koenig" href="http://www.articlesbase.com/authors/mike-koenig/29793.htm">Mike Koenig</a> How do I get internet advertising cheap? Awesome question. Well lets start off with free internet advertisement and then move to cheap internet advertising.

Free Internet Advertisement

Among the best ways to get free ads for your site online are link exchanges. While frowned upon by some I have found them to be extremely successful. The basic concept of it is "you scratch my back and I'll scratch yours". You put my link on your site and I'll put yours on my site.

Sounds easy enough right? Well it really is.

To get started with this link exchange concept you will need to create a links page on your site. Decide up front whether you want to put text links, or image links. Image links require banners and may make your links page load slow, while text links load faster and often don't take away from the overall look and feel of your site. I would suggest text links. In order for this free internet advertisement scheme of ours to work you need to find sites you would like to place your link / or ad on. It's always best to put your link on a page of similar content. The reason for this is simple; If you run a website for "Beach Volleyball Lovers" and you put your free advert on a site for Russian Hockey Fans you probably aren't going to get many people clicking through to your site. So find a site that is similar to yours and contact that person via email and say something like hey I run such and such site, and I would like to exchange links with you. The more people you contact the more internet advertisements you get.

Once you have that Free Internet Advertisement / Link exchange stuff down to a science it may to time for you to purchase some cheap or affordable internet advertising

Cheap Internet Advertisement

My 2 personal favorites on the way of internet advertisement companies are the 2 giants; Yahoo and Google.

Google Adwords and Yahoo Publisher are my current solutions to internet advertisement on the cheap. Yahoo currently has a .10 CPC(cost per click) minimum on all ads. Google on the other hand does not. It's possible to put ads on Google syndicated searches for .01 CPC That is as cheap as it gets. However if you want the ads on their search engine search results I believe there is a .05 CPC minimum. Either way Google seems to be the cheaper of the two companies as far as the advertisement goes.

Another concept I would like to touch upon is "branding" or getting the name of your company out there. If you sell antiques and put an ad on Google, it may be displayed 1,000 before it is clicked. That means your banner or ad with your Sites name was displayed 1,000 for .05 cents. Well.. dam that's a deal. Eventually people will start to associate your sites name Bubbas Antiques with quality quality antiques. Believe it or not people branding is what sells. If you are thirsty and see 2 pops (sodas) on a table one says Pepsi and the other says Bubbas cola you are most likely to buy the Pepsi.

So again there are many ways to get internet advertisements cheap or free. All you need to do is get out there and do it.
