Have you done any kind of advertising (free or paid) to market anything online?

Do you track your results?

How good do the results need to be for you to continue your campaign?

I promote with free advertising quite a lot and have recently started tracking my results. It has been interesting to watch and very educational, but randomness seems to play a large part in how well it does.

How about you?

[sherryinutah]

Absolutely. I promote my blog and I'm learning how to use Google Analytics. I'm also learning how to read the charts in my Amazon Associates Affiliate account.

I don't give up easily. Even if I'm not getting the results I want I'll "tweak" things and see what happens. I experiment and learn as I go.

In past I have done few paid advertising on some PTC sites and obviously for money making site. (actually I wasn't intend to cashout so I use cash for ads). But honestly I get nothing out of it.

About blogging, I do free advertise on twitter only. And yes I follow the result and gives good result too.

I promote my blog for free. Have never tried paid ads. I use social media and backlinks. Both have been inconsistent and generate minimal traffic although I haven't been really aggressive at it, I do see a potential for a greater response if I made efforts.

Like @Decentlady, I have only promoted my blogs and articles that I wrote on various website for free, but not even consistent at it. I only do this if the post/or article worth sharing.

I'm not yet comfortable with all this promotion stuff. I'm still learning, and I don't like it (although I know it's necessary). I only use free means at the moment, although I know that some people do paid promotion.

[chikitta]

Nope I have never done any promotions online for starters I don't even know how it's done

[kaka135]

So far, I have only shared some blog posts in Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest. I also shared some referral links in traffic exchange sites.

I just recently knew we can pay to boost up our Facebook pages as my husband recently helped to boost an event his alumni organized, which is a new information to me.

[morgoodie]

I have not ever paid to promote anything online. I have used Twitter, Stumbleupon, Google +, Pinterest, Facebook, and a traffic exchange site. I don't know as any of it has done a lot of good but I know I have gotten traffic from some of them to the sites that I promoted.

I always promote my online work on different social media and get good result for that instantly. I can see the number of visitors provided the site owner has not hidden or stopped crediting the befit to my account but it goes to him indirectly.

[haripriyavkl]

I am a bit newbie in this promotion thing. I have promoted t-shirts for a site called teespring via twitter. And also I have promoted products in clickbank and jvzoo. Now I am starting to learning

[Tyrona]

I have a couple times over the years averaging 1,000.

Yes I've done that before but I used to track it but it's been a while I should do the same for now, but I lost all my stuff but I'm gonna start something new now

[manfrommars]

I promote my business online too, using various means e.g. online classifieds, forums, cold emailing etc...but i'm too lazy to track any results haa! i guess if my online business/ revenue increases, then it means positive results LOL

Sounds like you have a bottom line accountability and that fits with my basic concept too. The ultimate impact needs to be felt there or the rest has no validity.

[Braids]

Sometimes i do but im no good or have no luck in getting referrals. From my free trys ( revshares , Traffic Exchanges , some ptcs that give you free money to advertize and a few other things ) is very very rare someone join.
My paid trys what works best for me is advertize in the clixsense grid but have to be something that is free

[makeinst]

I also promote my online job`s I was using Empire.Kred for free advertising, and also some of website that have l paid campaign like microworkers, Jobboy, and some of free website who give credits for visiting. Sometimes I try to post on Twitter of Facebook with hash tag.

[cessy_08]

I am trying to keep at it. Although I have to admit that it is easier said than done. It takes a HUGE amount (for me) to keep on sharing my post and (hardly) see any results. Oh well, it might be just me trying to balance a lot of things at the same time.

[grecy0905]

When I was very eager to earn from referrals, I promote online. I joined different Facebook groups just to promote my online sites, but due to some of my online sites are closing, I feel awkward to promote now.

[augusta]

Have been promoting my blogs and affiliate products though not paid ad.I think new visitors are looking into the blog. For sales yet to teach the minimum cash out.

Did you notice any traffic from Facebook though ? Sorry if this is kind of late but would be good if we know if you noticed any improvement in traffic ?
