Here is an idea for free offline promotion.

Put a big sticker in your car with your url, best with a color that will attract the eye (eg. orange), and park it on a high traffic road.

I think this could work. What's your opinion?

It's possible that it could work - especially if your URL is catchy and short.  This technique is especially beneficial if your website is meant for a local audience Smiley It may work for general-audience websites as well, especially if it's an entertainment/humor site Smiley

This is an odd form of advertising, but you could leave flyers around in coffee shops with free wifi.

I hope posting my own link is not disallowed here. But this is something I would like to share. My friend who has built a large tupperware business using offline promotion techniques wrote an article for my site which I am sure you will be interested in

I think that a lot of those ideas wouldn't work for a wine website ;o)

I have been meaning to get my url on the back of my car for ages!

Propably you should try spreading flyers to quallity restaurants, or park your car (with the url on it) on a place like that Smiley

I agree. You can many of the things suggested, provided you choose carefully the places where you spread the word.

I need to take offline promotion more seriously.  I guess I am turned off by the fact that google PR doesnt work offline. Tongue

I have a nice big advertisement on my cars windshield.

The only reason it sucks is because I cant check my views to conversions ratio.

The only way to check this is by promoting this way a new site, and wait a little before you promote it with other ways.

I know that this is impossible, but I would love to find someone that did it.

Make me the right offer and you can have your very own WebDigity.com banner on my car Wink

Some more ways:

Go to office depot and get a stamp for $20 that has your URL and a brief description.  Pickup a 1000 pack of bright colored notes. Get to postin and stickin.

I used to advertise my friend's local/online Tshirt shop  this way... He asked me if he could put a "banner" on my second car.
