Online Marketing-Adwords-SEO-Overture

dvdfan

Hi,

1) Has anyone any recommendations about online advertising. I had a look at www.promote.ie and there 99 euro a month package that tracks your search engine placements every month and submits your site to several directories looks good value.

2) I am also thinking about using a company to manage my adwords campaign. Is this a good idea to let someone who has good marketing skills to pick and manage my keywords and get a better return for my money or should i just do it myself?

2a) Do you know of any good companies or have you any personal experience?

3) Also ive used adwords before but ive never used overture,does this work the same as adwords and is it as good or better than adwords?

4) Could i get a company to manage both adwords and overture campaigns?

5) Is there any other good value online advertising methods that i havent taught of?

My business would be online tech support supplied to all english speakig coutries worldwide and my budget would be around €500 a month starting off.

I'd recommend concentrating on making your site search engine friendly and getting good organic results first.
Adwords can be very good, but you can easily spend more than €500 depending on the keywords you choose

Right, so you're setting yourself up as an expert worldwide. Don't start off throwing money at advertising. Build your site and build your expertise. Write articles, post them on an article marketing site (e.g. articlemarketer.com), see what conversions you get from article traffic first before spending a penny on advertising.
