What form of Advertising has worked best for you?

Let's get a list started ....

1) What type of e-commerce store do you have?
(I.e., candles, crafts, organic, "green", etc etc)

2) What method of advertising pulls in the most unique traffic for you?
(I.e., traffic exchanges, safelists, forum signatures, link exchanges, etc etc)

3) What day of the week seems to have the most traffic and page views for you?
(I.e., you would have to look at a stats program, usually in your cPanel in hosting admin to see.)

4) Add any additional information you feel would be beneficial to everyone here concerning marketing/advertising.

I'm wondering if certain types of marketing works for certain kinds of sites. For example, traffic exchanges work best for green-friendly houseclean supplies, and forum signatures for candle related store ... that sort of thing.

(I.e., candles, crafts, organic, "green", etc etc) I don't offer anything but (anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, patch management, security alerts, $25, 000 Identity theft Insurance, FREE TECH SUPPORT right here in the US.....in ONE complete package)

With my situation, relationship building...especially from our cause. Very scary and many think it is another 'hacker'..trying to hurt someone

3) What day of the week seems to have the most traffic and page views for you?

The days I get on the phone. I have only had 2 people to sign up for the service so far with out speaking to me....and I don't blame the others!!!

4) Add any additional information you feel would be beneficial to everyone here concerning marketing/advertising.

I was using Norton and found out I was not being protected! I am helping others find out (McAfee, Spydoctor, free downloads....all of them) that they like scamming MLM's...are being lied to!

I have not sold to anyone. With over a 90% customer retention rate..
It is the best word of mouth service out there!


How do I advertise? I tell everyone I know about Invisus Direct..because I KNOW and believe in them! Does everyone listen?? NO! But once they do...I am thanked!

Find something you FULLY believe in...and YOU will succeed!

I have http://www.sanseveria.fsc2.com ...it is a general mercantile and gift store with candles and nice smelling stuff as well as toys, cameras, leather apparel etc... I focus on building my affiliate downline... not on selling product!

2) What method of advertising pulls in the most unique traffic for you?
(I.e., traffic exchanges, safelists, forum signatures, link exchanges, etc etc)
Traffic exchanges... sometimes. I get the occasional sign up now because there is a new opportunity out there... that big FREE Mall... so, sign ups are way down... I do know the website gets hundreds of clicks monthly so the sign ups I do get come in from all over!

3) What day of the week seems to have the most traffic and page views for you?
(I.e., you would have to look at a stats program, usually in your cPanel in hosting admin to see.) Thursday thru Sunday... or any time 24/7 becasue soemwhere in the world it is day time or nite time! The first weekend of the month and the last weekend of the month are good! around the 15th is a payday and people seem to join then also... holiday weekends... anytime there's holidays there's folks online who aren't with family.... and they are looking for businesses!
