If you have been in this industry very long you understand the power of using the internet to build a massive list of hungry people who are desperately in need of exactly what you have to offer. By far the most powerful way to marketing your business or product is with Google Adwords.
With the surge of internet activity over the past couple years Google Adwords has become such a highly competitive marketplace for the mlm, direct sales and affiliate marketing industry., that it is getting harder and harder for the “little man” to claim his stake and strike it rich in the internet marketing gold rush.
Search marketing with PPC (Pay-Per Click) allows a user to target their market more tightly then any other form of marketing on the internet. So without further ado.
Are their really Google Adwords Alternatives.
Yes!
It would really be sad to think that this whole industry is dependent on the fact that Google is the only option to create a full-time income from the comfort of your own home. Your constantly hearing this….Google this and Google that. Learn Google SEO, master Google Adwords. In reality there were and sill are people on the internet that are doing very well for themselves who have never even opened a Google Adwords account.
Here are your Google Adwords alternatives for those of you who are on a budget and would really like to step into the search marketing arena.
Google Adwords Alternative #1
Yahoo Search Marketing was incorporated in 1995. Although Yahoo was the leader in websearches for many years, it quickly fell behind Google.com. But even it has fallen behind Google their search network is a great Google Adwords Alternative. Yahoo may not receive as much traffic as their more powerful competition but advertising with them is still a sure way to get a ton of targeted traffic at a fraction of what you would have to pay through Google.
Google Adwords Alternative #2
Bing.Com Bing.com is a very new search engine that was just launched in June of 2009. The search marketing platform is just as powerful as Google and is growing in popularity by the day. Because Bing.com is still getting started you have an opportunity to tackle it’s search marketing with only a portion of the competition that you would get with Google.Com.
Google Adwords Alternative #3
Ask.Com Ask.Com is sort of like the the forgotten search engine. If you remember, Ask was highly dominate a few years back when it was AskJeeves.com. You all remember the commercials. But with a recent marketing marketing campaign Ask is slowly coming back up in rankings after falling close to 200 in mid 2008. Last time I looked Ask.com was ranked 43 in overall visitor which means that it is still rocking out for marketers like you and I.
Google Adwords Alternative #4
Miva.Com Miva.com is one of the internets largest independant marketing network in the world. They provide auction based search marketing based on cost per lead. (CPA- Cost Per Acquisition) They have been in the industry since 1999 and were recent acquired by Adknowledge to build an even more massive market place to compete with Google and Yahoo Search.
Google Adwords Alternative #5
7Search.Com is a very powerful search marketing medium to work with. The click prices are very low and the search volume although not nearly as high as Yahoo or Google has shown some great results to high competition keywords that would otherwise cost you an arm and a leg through the major search engines site. Also,
Along with Yahoo, 7Search allows you to pay your balances and fund your account through your paypal account. And if you are like me you like to keep everything coming from the same source as much as possible.
So there you have it, my 5 ways of knocking out the competition with sources other than Google Adwords. Remember, I am in no way saying that Google is not the way to go, because once you learn how to master Google you can literally profit to no end.
What I am giving you here are some alternatives for the little man to step into search engine marketing without having to spend every dime in their retirement fund just to get through the learning curve. Because I promise , Google is a bear and can eat you alive if you are 100% sure of what you are trying to achieve and how to get there.
