Do I know you, penlost?

[penlost]

I think so, fancy seeing you on here :smile:

You've got a great site, penlost. Good work. Some promotion might help it grow.

[penlost]

Thanks Jeff. I am new to all this so dont really know where to start with promotion!

[Jeff]

You've just promoted your site here. One good way of promotion would be to include it in your signature and get involved in discussions.
Another way is to invite your friends and church members to use it. Link exchange with relevant sites might increase page rank.

Otherwise, you can always advertise through google adwords if you have the resources.

[gibby]

How much does google adwords typically cost? Seems like it would be expensive.

[Jeff]

Sorry for the late reply, Gibby.

There's no minimum spending requirement and the amount you pay for AdWords is completely up to you. For example, you can set a daily budget of five dollars and choose to pay five cents each time your ad is clicked. You're charged only if someone clicks your ad, not when your ad is displayed.

You can chose the best keywords for your site (not necessarily the common ones) so you dont pay as much as your competitor pays. Google adwords provide keyword traffic and cost estimates so you can make informed decisions about choosing keywords and maximizing your budget.

The Keyword Tool generates potential keywords for your ad campaign and reports their Google statistics, including search performance and seasonal trends. Visite this link for the tool: https://adwords.google.com/select/Ke...?defaultView=2

Thanks Jeff. Have you used adwords and has it worked at all for you? It sounds appealing. I tried adsense for a while but the sites that it began to promote were way off of being at all biblical and I only made about 4 dollars in 6 months so I canned it. Of course adsense is something completely different and now I am off of topic so never mind on that...

Gibby, some of the christian forums that I visited were through adwords ads. I was assuming that there might be many like me doing the same thing. I couldn't advertise on adwords for long because I thought I would rather spend that money on buying a better hosting package.
