2-3 dollars a click might be a little expensive ur better off going w/ google adwords , there is definetely a tremendous increase in ur hit meter by google adwords

Okay, so you want to advertise your site on a site specifically about web hosting. Understandable.

Have you submitted your site to the hundreds of free directories around the internet? If you haven't, you should - any exposure that you can get for free, is an offer for exposure that you should take up.

Yes, it is highly recommended that you should submit your site to the web hosting directories which can bring you lots of potetial visitors. Most of the directories offer free site submission to their database. I can understand that it takes time to explore and submit details in directories manually, but in long run your time will be rewarded.

Here is one more suggestion:

Active participation in forums like ev1servers, webhostingtalk, ensim etc... will also generate customers for you. Very target customers...

Prefer clicksor though. Adbrite is very good too.

PPC sites like Adbrite are good, but the best way for you to get to the next level is posting on forums and newsgroups. These are the best ways to gain new customers especially if you have left this area untapped.

Forum and newsgroup writers are active and if they like your hosting service they will tell others. Those who only read and do not often post like myself, still have a higher chance of telling others about your services than someone who clicks on an ad.

Just my two cents really.

Esp if your hosting company has a niche so you offer hosting plans aimed at clan gamers and can then make posts in gaming forums, or you offer hosting plans focused on creating your family tree and you can post in those forums..
