Promoting your web-host

Hi!

I know a thing or 2 when it comes to promoting a web host and here is what i usually do.

I usually look for forums where you can get a site review and post a review of your website but have a subliminal advert for your web host.

Here is one i use for Forumer:


As you can see i ask for a review of my forum as well as having links to forumer and forumer resources.  Also i give a bit of info on forumer as well as asking people to make a forum with them.

Anyway, try doing something like that if you want to promote a web host and the visitors should PILE in!

Hope this helps: :)

?ot a bad idea, but I don't think that people will ever "buy" something when you ask them for a review.

What I mean is that a site that sells something or giving something for free, needs convertions, not traffic alone.

Now as the hosting market is really saturated, I don't think that without spending thousands in advertisment you can do anything.

Just my 2 cents....

I have to admit that you have a point but there are many techniques used by my Forumer Staff and i know that a lot of people have gone to Forumer from those and paid for the ad-removal.

I think your idea to promote things while asking for a review that could work if you have something special on your site...

Your example is more like a advertisement for the service you're using, I think on most bigger forums your request for a review will moved to a different category (or will be removed), and often you have to review sites first, this way you have to work very hard to get some visitors ;)

I think the only way to promote your hosting is using coupons...

Yes, i have noticed this but i just do some reviews and get to place the promo and if someone says its an ad for the host i acn just say it aint.
