CJ.com has plenty of cheap hosting companies paying $40 to $50 per account for new accounts referred to them. -Affiliate Programs Can Be A Good Way to Go-

If you want a #1 listing at Yahoo, you'll currently pay Overture $5.50 per click for traffic. You'll get targeted potential customers, for 5.5 bucks each, plus you'll pay the same amount for folks to find you searching to sale you advertising.

I've had success using Overture to promote other business sites, however hosting is so competitive that the cost per click is too high in my opinion. Yes, I know about using keywords that aren't as competitive as the words, web hosting, I also know your traffic levels will be so low that you won't have an acceptable level of growth. And any pay-per-click listing not in the top 3 search results in probably a waste of time and money.

Newspaper: I haven't tried it, please share your experience.

Radio: I know FindWhat relied heavily on Radio ads during it's start-up and credits them as a effective means of advertising. Of course they are simply seeking any traffic from any source. Any success to report with radio?

TV: Anyone game enough to have tried TV?

Sales Staff: If you use a sales staff to make cold calls on small business, please let us know how it goes.

Any Other Successful Ad Campaigns? Google Adwords, Email, Ezines or whatever?

Many Thanks

I have my company in a different busniess right now, travel agency to be exact.

Newspaper is probably the best ad for my work, it should be the same with webhosting. I pay 400 dollar for a fair large ad in the paper, which in turn results with a lot of customers.

Some ppl dont buy directly, but within a month or two when they are going somewhere they come to me because theyve seen my ad.

Websites are one of the cheapest though, i dont know how the market in the US work, but here i can make deals with the websites so i only pay for the customers who buy from me.
Thats the best ad i can get.

One paying customer is usually coming back, in this busniess they stay for that sake.

TV is way to expensive, for a little ad in the TV its over 10k dollar.
Not the best time to make a ad in TV either.


However im hiring a man in 2 weeks to call companies and sell through phone, ill get back to you if you want.
