Google Adwords

[frdjns74]

We were one of those newbies, we where giving out more than we where earing and got too expensive to keep up, but it really is trial and error, we researched it and use it every now and again but never for too long and is very targeted.

Adwords is expensive and you need to target properly it's still better than Facebook ads.

That is a very good point. Never trust a company that promises a guaranteed top spot or amount of traffic. Google is an unknown quantity and you can estimate based on previous traffic but you can never guarantee anything with search engines.

Excellent comments. I am new to this area and have found the information here very useful.

So as a newbie on a very tight budget, can anyone recommend other ways to get targeted traffic.

Some websites now offer guest blog spots where you can feature articles you write, this can help gain good targeted traffic as most allow a link to your site as credit for the piece.
