    It very much depends on your target market and your product/services. There isn't really a one solution fits all answer to your question.

    If you are selling a B2B service for example, UK Business Forums might well be a good place to advertise (as we do for example). However, if you are selling a consumer product, UKBF would generally not be a good place to spend your advertising budget.

    You have mentioned some of the obvious ones such as Bing, Google and Facebook.... but as above you really need to consider where your target customer is looking, before you can decide where to spend your budget. If the demographic of your customer comes into play (such as their age), then Facebook is going to offer a nice easy solution.... if your audience is quite broad then you have to start drilling down and looking at the average surfing patterns and try to target those sites as advertising channels.

    What are you trying to sell, and who are you trying to sell it to?

    I'm wondering if you really know how to use Facebook and Google when it comes to ads services provider because they are the best and widely used by your targeted users. Try to dominate the major search engines for organic traffic for your audience.

    thanks for your reply. I have small dating website and I don't want to target broad audience at the moment, i want to target people around Manchester, Leeds, Bolton and Lancashire areas only. I can't use Facebook because they don't approve dating ads but to be honest i don't really want to use Facebook because too many dating ads on Facebook already.

    facebook Paid ads is kickingbutt right now! You can target by niche/interest/page engagement etc etc. The targeting is extremely powerful!
    Regardless of the targeting, people on facebook are not in buying mode. I'm no fan of G Adwords, but we've never seen any facebook campaign that comes close to outperforming G Adwords. Or for that matter just about any other form of marketing. IMHO you'd probably get better results from handing out leaflets on the high street - at least the proportion of buyers would be higher... :p

    It is not time to buy traffic, you are talking 2-3 years in past. Today you have to gain good quality traffic rather than buying links from other website.

    And how do you expect to get on such sites, so this amazing traffic passes to you? If site A (sells beetle wax) and you need sales from beetle owners right - and site demands £30 - you saying you wont pay up to get traffic?

    Its very much popular. You can pay for media, banners of all sizes and using services like traffic vance, leadimpact and google ad planner you can target sites by buyer demographic. The very top affiliate marketers do media buys on huge traffic sites to generate revenue.

    Agreed. Well you don't know where a prospect is in the buying cycle as opposed to being able to target 'buying' keywords on Google adwords.

    You need to intimately understand the demographics of your prospects and match your offer exactly.

    Leaflets, biz cards and flyer hand-outs is waste of time, unless you send out 50ks worth. We took on a contract for a major high street retailer doing exactly that, and is bombed big-time.

    Had 5 of us standing outside, shooping centres and in tube stations with flyers to commuters - it too failed big time. Footfall was there (maybe), just too much of the wrong types walking on by. Even with targeting, too slow to get the results needed to get shoppers into buying mode.

    Exactly what I originally said. (But not just affiliate marketers who rake in the cash) Companies are even looking to pay blogs and forums nowadays to get that advantage. There's make-up/fashion tip blogs that get paid thousands by companies for mentions/links.

    How can there be too many dating ads on Facebook already if they don't approve dating ads?o_O

    I suspect we'll never find out...

    Steve

    PS I've a feeling I heard you can't target dating ads at married people on Facebook. But, of course, that doesn't mean Facebook "doesn't approve dating ads" - only that it restricts who you can advertise to.

    If you are looking for buying the best targeted traffic, i would suggest you two sites - Facebook and Google Adwords. Nothing beats them..

    However, they are way too expensive. So if you want free traffic, i would suggest you go for Traffup. But like you said you are looking for targeted traffic, at fraction of a cost of Google n Facebook, go for traffup pro (its paid version)
