Google Adwords and Google Adsense are so popular in the online marketing world, that they have all but eclipsed the other forms of advertising available to marketers. In their enthusiasm to jump on the bandwagon people are overlooking many other cost effective ways to advertise

Adwords is a method of pay per click marketing. Here is how it works; advertisers are charged a nominal amount every time their ad is viewed. Although the charges are usually less than a dollar, they can accumulate into a larger amount. This is especially true of popular keywords, as these can create a large quantity of worthless leads. It is certainly a risk and if you are not careful your campaign can eat up your advertising budget.

The good news is that Adwords is not your only option for online advertising. Contrary to popular belief it is not the most widely used advertising method. Savvy marketers will recognize the fact that there are many options available for them. When they think beyond Adwords the advertiser will discover more profitable and cost effective methods of advertising.

Utilizing the power of social marketing is an effective way to advertise without Adwords. You can use blogs and forums to your advantage. You will find communities of people who are keen to discuss subjects that interest them. These 2 methods of social marketing will give you wonderful exposure. A simple blog about a particular product, that links back to your website, can give you plenty of free traffic.

You can also try placing ads on other websites. You will need to be cautious before you do this. One thing to consider is the nature of your market and just whom you are trying to reach. To understand your market you must do some analysis on your potential clients. There are 3 different types of advertising available to you when placing ads on different websites. You can use text or banner ads and either pay for each click through, like pay-per-click advertising, or pay a flat fee to the webmaster for the duration of your ad.

The next 2 methods hinge on website content. This is a very effective way to advertise on a partner’s website. Businesses will hire writers to provide them with content for their site. Trust and traffic will be increased by this means. If you are a smart advertiser, you can fulfill this need and get free exposure. They can offer their own articles, with bio to these companies for their website content. Back links will be created by this means.

The success of this promotion depends on the visitor completing the article and using the link in the bio for more information. Unfortunately the chances are slim that they will do this, as the attention span of most readers is short. As an alternative links back to your website can be sprinkled throughout the article. If while reading a person wants more details or better understanding of some points they can follow these links back to your website. This is termed hosted content. If you put in links into your article you may have to pay a commission, because the links will encourage visitors to leave the site.

With these tactics Internet advertisers have a chance to increase revenue. By not taking chances with Adwords they may in fact save money and prestige.
