Internet Marketing - A Winning Combination!

Written by Paul White


Continued from page 1

This is whererepparttar combination approach comes in. You userepparttar 119059 power ofrepparttar 119060 numbers of lotto visitors coming to your site, andrepparttar 119061 banner exchange, to 'convert'repparttar 119062 visitors from untargetted to targetted.

This is what you need to do.

Join four different banner exchanges, and placerepparttar 119063 codes on your page. (Do not join more than four, or you may be accused of having a banner farm and will have your site deleted fromrepparttar 119064 exchange.)

Now if each exchange gives you one exposure for every two visitors, then four exchanges gives you four times this amount, which means that for each two visitors you get four exposures.

So if, for example, you ordered 1,000 visitors fromrepparttar 119065 lotto site, withrepparttar 119066 four exchanges, you will earn 2,000 exposures of your banner ad.

So 2,000 new people will see your banner ad. These however are quality prospects,who are inrepparttar 119067 exchange themselves. These people are far more likely to respond to what you have to offer, and will click on your banner ad because they are interested. So now you have targetted, rather than untargetted traffic!

(Incidentally, a cleverly worded banner, which has been designed using simple text, rather than sophisticated artwork and animation, can give you a CTR more like 4%!)

There are many different banner exchanges around, just type in 'banner exchange' at any search engine for a list. Experiment with different exchanges for best results, howeverrepparttar 119068 following I know to be effective:-

http://www.adswap.net http://www.quicklinksnow.com http://www.easyadexchange.com http://www.advertiser-exchange.com

Again there are lots of different Lotto sites, but here are some examples of good sites:-

http://www.cash-giveaway.com http://www.lotto4cash.com http://www.loftydeal.com

So in all of your campaigns, it is not always necessary to find completely new ways to promote your site. With a bit of imagination a combination of already established methods can be highly effective!
