Any advertising ideas for a bail bond company?

Question

Ive asked a question like this a while ago, but figured I would try and see if any of you guys know any good ideas for advertising ideas. I work in Brevard county, Florida and have a web site, www.celticbail.net. Now Im trying to decide what to do for it. Ive heard that buying keywords to promote my site could cost 100 bucks a month, but I found a site, www.brevardcounty.com, that shows up first when I type brevard county bail bonds in a yahoo search engine. Its only 500 bucks a year to get first in their list of bail bonds. So do you think its better to pay the 500 to get to the top of the list on www.brevardcounty.com, or should I pay more to try to promote my site and if so, any cheap ways to promote the site? Thanks

Hi,

I have a lot of experience marketing small companies online (I have 3 companies).  One of the best ways is to sign up at business directories and protals.  These are basically listings of businesses (simliar to the phone book).  The advantage is that these portals usually get a lot of traffic and they're ranked high on Google because of all the quality links they contain.

My favorite portal is called Directory Exclusive.  I signed up a few weeks ago because they're giving a away a free business card holder when a person enter's their company info.  I received it in the mail 3 days ago =)

I don't know if they still have that promotion, but you can try to get the free card holder here:

There is a bail bond company in cleveland that advertises on buses( AT Bails has the keys to the jails) and in the free papers.Do the people who end up in jail have internet access? I would look at a referral program to compensate people who refer you( could be done on a bizz card and pass out plenty of them).
