Let's assume that:


We have $1,000 advertising budget:

Let's assume that we need many targeted visitors to [our site]- quality traffic, no spamming or anything alike... people who will view some pages and will be intersted in web hosting.


So, after assuming that, anyone has any advice about a marketng plan? what sites to advertise, etc etc.


The main idea is to get as much traffic as possible!

I would suggest you to join clickxchange.com and set a pay per click campaign, buy banner ad from banner exchange company, buy targeted ad in mailing list (example: buy ad slot at sitepoint newsletter, hitbox newsletter and other webmaster newletters)
I though you could get 1 targeted visitor per 5 cents.

Stop it already, we are asking for advice - where to advertise, we're not offering you anything, we are searching for people like sodapopinski to give us some answers...


Again, we're not offering you anything, we just need some marketing advice.

Why do people always like to make these annoying posts, saying that we are spamming when we're not even offering anything???


thanks sodapopinski, we'll look at those ad networks.

Lonny, I've removed signatures and reference to your site so that people won't think you are trying to get exposure this way. The question still stands and now this won't be an issue anymore.

I think you should consider advertising at SiteOwners.com , SitePoint.com and CodingClick.com

Their main target is Webmasters and I guarantee that the result would be fruitful..

they have extrenely high CPM, we're looking for UNIX/Linux webmasters to keep our CTR of the adverts on our sites high :)


don't need just general webmaster traffic :)
