The picture above shows a cluster or gaggle of folks waiting to get inside a venue somewhere. Looks to be somewhere in Vancouver, British Columbia that is hosting an event for the Asian community. If I cold have the heads in that line to visit my site via Google, Bing or even Ask, I would be happy. Stretching around the corner and in a nice tightly compacted group, all of those different opinions looking to share what they think and feel about a particular subject is appealing to me.
Having the means to pay for a marketing campaign via the usual suspect of Google Adwords is completely out of my scope right now. Many people that visit here are simply looking and not supporting bloggers. For this reason alone, I tend to stay within a small circle of friends that sally comment or may even ask me a question or two via the contact form.
Commenting and adding my two cents helps me to vent my frustrations. It’s good to see that on other’s sites they have the same issues that I do. Presently, I have no paid campaigns for advertisements going on. This has hurt traffic quite a bit. But a good lesson is being learned.
Do you se any unconventional marketing methods if you have no budget for marketing your site? Drop a few comments below and let me know your thoughts.
I comment my ass off and I use Twitter and Facebook to promote my site. It's hard work, very hard, but eventually it does pay off.
My recent post Knock It Off-

Well Tony I think most those are maybe going into see John Chow or someone like that I think he lives in Vancouver.But the sad thing about it is that all of us bloggers are just linking to those A-listers and tweeting them they write no better than you or I, They just seem to have found something that worked for them and they get loads of traffic because they tell us that is the only way to do things.When I see people tweeting Brogan or Copyblogger I am not Interested in them and it makes me sick that most people are afraid to give credit to anyone unless they have a high page rank or are using thesis theme because they do not think that it's cool to give credit to little known bloggers
My recent post Compete Stats or Alexa Rankings
I feel the same about the so-called "gurus". They are merely people that were in early on the whole blogging as a business model. Simply tying their names to e-books and seminars to line their pockets has become more frequent. I refuse to visit the sites of a John Chow or problogger. They are merely passing along what I have learned but with all of the bells and whistles that corporate sponsors allow them to.
Thanks for stopping by and adding your comments.
