Question

i want to send fancy belgium made chocolate packages worldwide, how do i market this, apart from paying a fortune to get the first page on google? how do complete stranger's around the world "stumble" apon your site?

Answer 1

What goes well with chocolates?  Trashy romance novels,of course.  Advertising here

smartbitchestrashybooks.com

would be one way to get good exposure and a start on customers, which would start the word of mouth and back links you need.

And there are other sites whose readers might be interested in chocolate, that don't have high advertising rates. Just think "who likes chocolate" and go find a blog that runs its own ads.

Answer 2

Do organic SEO for your site. It will get some time near about 3 or 4 months to get high SERP but it will come.

Decide your target market, their choice for chocolates  and decide keywords. Target those keywords which are highly searched by your targeted market.

Add high quality and appealing content on your web pages.

Do some link building for your targeted pages.

Place it in social media site with fresh information about yummy chocolates.

Answer 14

Look http://www.paidtoclick.in Advertise your website there.

I found there website through an article that specifically listed they as a good website that sells high quality traffic. I purchased 5,000 visitors to my website, and noticed the difference before I even checked my logs! I am so glad that I finally found a way to market my website that can be done quickly. I know how important SEO is, but they have to promote in other ways too. I know I've found a working method!

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with there service. My campaigns were set up promptly and delivered as promised. I was impressed with the results as well. I purchased traffic for two of my websites and I received over 1450 signups for the first website and over 1030 signups for the second. (That's less than $0.01 a lead! Try finding that elsewhere!).

There advertising works great. I'm using a direct landing page for my campaign and have been tracking every ad. A very high amount of visitors have been browsing my site and my conversion rates have gone up..

Ever since I began advertising with Quality Traffic Supply, my sales have greatly increased. Since I now have a steady source of traffic which is targeted to my content, I now get a good return on investment. There traffic has worked wonders for me. I buy about 5,000 visitors a month to split up between my 2 websites, and for every $10 I spend there I bring in another $30!
