Lightbulb $100 to spend but which is the best way

$100 to spend but which is the best way to increase real visitors with such a small amount.

Already well listed using Organic SEO.

I am saying $100.00 a year, not even $100.01 as this would be too much.

No rubish quick buck heavy copywrites ideas that will take the cash and run.

Real visitors only, people only not other methods of increasing the counter.

Thank's in advance

Good morning (or afternoon ), TrafficProducer.

For such a small budget, the only thing that comes to my mind, you may already have done...a blog.
Of course, your investment in time to maintain it will far exceed the monetary investment. Others might suggest buying some links, but personally, I don't recommend it. I think you might be dreaming to expect a lot of results for such a small investment, without making it up in a lot of effort.
Maybe somebody else will be able to offer an idea, and I'll learn something.

Well... a couple of old adages come to mind but I'll spare you those.

Find a smallish niche site that already has established traffic that would be very interested in your product/service that's sells advertising. Contact them and offer to throw the $100 at them and see what you can get.

PPC... highly targeted to longtail that converts. Even if you rank for it. That extra listing can and does pay. Done it myself and know others who have.

Get a a really good press release written or some nice articles that target something you don't rank for. This can pay dividends over time.

Buy lottery tickets and cross your fingers.

Go to a Casino and cross your fingers.

When it comes to business, I'm never a "take the money and run" kind a guy. Unless I'm getting out.

Dave

I like this one. .
Make the approach polite and personal, and be willing to undertake a give and take attitude . . . many effective small niches thrive and grow on webmaster cooperation, and $100 considerations. . .

I like the long tail method. The cost per click should be low which will stretch your small budget.

Question Re: $100 to spend but which is the best way

PPC, long tail may be an issue with Google; I thought you had to get a certain level of Traffic for there PPC or they will not list.

I can vouch for that! Not the sort of thing to jump into feet-first, when you don't fully understand how it works! I know that some people have made good money with PPC, but others (myself included) have poured money down a rat-hole.

Thumbs up Re: $100 to spend but which is the best way

Thanking everyone for idea's

you could lose your shirt fast... What shirt, can't afford one

So in a way you need money to make money?

If this is true how does any one ever become rich, (honestly), or is it just not possible?

Maybe, using the "Secret Law of Attraction", I should just totally think my self as being rich?

Really I should change the word rich to wealthy because I have a good family which makes me rich indeed, just not much cash

Get a freelancer that can work at 5 or 10 cents per comment, if someone is available. Then tell him to register and comment at forums and blogs with links. You can easily get 1000+ links and hopefully some traffic

wouldn't I would be asking to be banned?

For only $100, I suggest you to invest back to your website, such as adding more content, to make your site be more content rich.

I would invest the $100 in Adwords, but make sure that you get a free adwords coupon first (they often offer $50 to $100 to new users so that will double your budget). Also, focus on getting opt in subscribers - send your PPC visitors to an opt in page so you can keep in touch with them.

Thanks, but I belive $100 in Adwords would soon vanish and op-in's would opt-out after a short while.

What's there to find out? You'd be doing the same thing that zillions of other web marketers have been doing for years. There's no law against paying freelancers to do your grunt work.

I see... So PPC is really risky. Hmm.. I was thinking of using it.
Thanks for the heads up!

I would use it to create freebies to give away or to get posts on blogs or to promote your best blog posts via social media.
