PPC is highly effective when optimized correctly as you only pay if anyone clicks through to your website. This is also one of the easiest ways to lose money fast.

Publish educational articles on your website and other authoritive article directories. Interested website owners can re publish the content on their own sites if they reference you as the author and a link to your website or blog is in the content.

Use your website URL in your email signature, business cards, flyers, brochures, direct mail, etc. You will get more targeted traffic if you use all of your marketing strategies together to reach your business objectives.
