A. PPC advertising is very powerful and cost efficient compared to other media. PPC can get very expensive if you don't know what you are doing. PPC is extremely targeted, you can target geographic, demographic or you can narrow down and target particular city or town.

Whats the best way to driver traffic to my website?
Q. My website offers online traffic school. What is the best way to drive U.S. traffic to my site. I am all over the PPC sellers already...and i rank high in the search engine results.

Is it better to buy banners? Or should i buy into large directories....or just have a large link exchange program?

and dont say all of the above please!

A. Hi, good question...

There's a whole lot of things you can do actually.

I would try article marketing if you're interested in that. If you decide to go that way, you can download a free guide about how you can use article marketing to bring traffic to your site here:

The other thing I use is http://hurleypix.com/3wl This costs a monthly fee - but it works very effectively at giving you very nice rankings in Google. Look over the site if you want to learn more. :)

Another option is by using web 2.0 sites such as Digg, Twitter, FaceBook, Craigs List, Stumbleupon, etc. You have to get 'in there' and communicate and learn about these sites, build your profile up, etc, but they are pretty good too at motivating people to come look at your websites.

There's other ways as well including press releases and contributing in forums often.

Hope that helps. :)

How can I get 20,000 unique visitors to my web site, on a very small budget?
Q. Our board of directors wants us to get 20,000 unique visitors to our Web site by 2011. So far we are at 2,000+. Any suggestions on how to drive more traffic, on a very limited budget?

We are looking at some advertising in facebook and Google ad words, and we are attempting to utilize social networking, but it's difficult when you don't have many followers.

Any suggestions???

A. Of course press releases are quite valuable for getting mention in news outlets, I'm sure you have tht handled, let me just mention prweb.con is the premier distributor, charging some $80.

I imagine to be cost effective, you would want state specific geo targeted ads, which somewhat narrows the options. I understand perfectly optimized adwords campaigns for non affiliates with keyword quality ratings of 10 might the cost down near 10 cents a click. Similar ppc on yahoo and ms/bing might add another 35% ppc visitors.

I could image paid banners on employment or business sites might help a bit.

You could experiment with CPM media buy banner ads if you can find any that can geo target down to your level, they are less costly than mainstream cpc ads, some of the best have a $100 or $200 minimum.
Advertise.com decent quality, $100 min
AdBrite.com cheap lower quality traffic, good one for affiliates, cpc is safer, $100 min
Clicksor.com many delivery channels, $100 min
MediaTraffic.com CPV, target competitors $200 min
