\"what's The Best Place To Advertise Online?

By Don Bethune

This question, \"What's the best place to advertise online?\" is one that I have toiled over. My husband and I are in the process of starting our own business and we are looking to see if we can get some free website traffic.

There are so many companies that offer either increased website traffic or some free website traffic. But the demographical choice of where you place the ads are based on the product. If the company that will be creating potential traffic for our business isn't knowledgeable with the product that we are selling, we will end up loosing money through advertising and loss of revenue.

I guess what we are searching for is a company that isn't afraid to be sold on them selling us an advertising package. If we are going to trust them and give them our money, we should also feel as if that company believes in our business.

We want to find a company that is like the well known insurance company that says aIf we canat save you money, weall find someone that can!a Finding a company that has different specialties in what products they advertise for is very important to us.

Of course the first and most important step in this transaction is to have a solid mutual understanding of the product that we want advertised. We believe that with this understanding the advertising company would be able to offer us a free trial as a good faith effort. This would show that they are not afraid of failing on the amount of traffic they can increase on our site.

The fact is that starting and managing our own business has many risks involved. I do not want to take on the risk of choosing a company from a phone book. That choice is just not a risk that we are willing to take.

It is scary dealing both with the advertising company that places the ad and the one who canat provide the traffic we want. This is true especially if they do not have a real understanding of the product we are offering and exactly who it is geared to.

That brings me back to the same thought again aHow to know the best place to advertise onlinea. I have come to the conclusion that the only way to know that is to listen to what other businesses are saying. In the long run I will have to take a chance on what they say.
