A new wave of banner exchanges is growing though at unprecedented rates. What they do that separates them apart is that they will give you a 5% to 20% credit of banner impressions of anyone's site that you refer. If you refer a site which gets a million hits a month, you would get 200,000 free impressions a month extra.

7. Start Your Own Mailing List

If you want to make money online, start your own mailing list. It is the best way to keep contact with your prospects and your customers. It is also the best way to build the credibility you need to make sales to your targeted market.

A little less talked about advantage to having your own mailing list is that you can use it to trade ads with other ezines out there. If you trade ads with 10 other ezines out there, you could easily be saving yourself $100 - $500 in advertising expense every week!

8. Banner Ads on Individual Sites

When people think of banner ads they almost always think of the major search engines or major sites online. Well, I have been advertising lately with banners, and I can tell you something.

Making money using banner ads on these high traffic high cost sites is extremely difficult and risky.

These sites will charge you $20 per 1,000 impressions to general audiences and $50 per 1,000 impressions to targeted markets.

By seeking out individual sites who get high traffic (50,000 hits to 1,000,000 hits a month), you can actually get rates of $1 - $10 per 1,000 impressions of your banner ads. By finding 10 - 20 of these sites, you can quickly build yourself an overwhelming river of traffic to your site for a much lower cost than the major search engines.

9. Advertise on Overture

Overture has come up with a great advertising plan for businesses. You can actually go to Overture and bid on traffic for your site. You pick keywords for your site and then place a bid of whatever price you are willing to pay for traffic from that keyword.

Then, Overture will only charge you for the actual hits you receive from them. If you bid five cents for the keyword and you receive 10 hits from it today, you only owe 50 cents for the day. This low cost traffic building method cannot be beat anywhere.

The key to making it work for you is to come up with hundreds of possible keywords for your site and bid low amounts. Then, check your stats continually and find out what kind of traffic you are getting.

10. Free Stuff

The KING of traffic is free stuff. If you want to get real traffic to your site, provide the kind of free content and services that your market is hunting desperately for.

Provide free articles to other web sites. Provide free downloads. Give away free CGI programs. Provide hundreds of links to needed tools. Provide links to downloadable software. Give your visitors what they want and they will keep coming back and referring their friends.

I wanted to take the time to congratulate you on your news letter. I've been in business for 15 years as a consultant specializing in martial arts business development, and I knew nothing about the internet. My marketing strategy up to this point has been from word-of-mouth and direct presentation. In November of last year (2001) I hired a company (eMerchantclub) to develop a web site for me. My rep at this company subscribed me to SiteProNews at that time.

During this last year I've learned volumes from reading your newsletters. I've even gone into your archives and saved every past issue. Recently I added a links page to my site and a link to your site was the first on my list. This has been a special gift to me, and would be a special gift to all those who are struggling to understand the internet, develop an effective web site, and market their products and services via the World Wide Web.

Thanks, and keep up the great work.

In a worldwide web full of junk mail, I just wanted to forward my congratulations on your newsletter which I have found helpful, useful and very welcome when it arrives. Many thanks for your helpful tips and informative articles. I have been developing our site www.bodespa.com and have been reading and applying your newsletter tips.

I receive so much junk mail that I thought it was time to send a note of appreciation to one of the few mailings I've found that repesented the best of what the worldwide web can be.

Many thanks for your efforts.
Mark Webster
