Default Most effective ad campaign

I recently tried PPC but it did not work for me (its also time consuming) what advert methods works for you best?

PPC advertising is, by far, the most effective advertising venue on the Internet. And you're right, it's time consuming at first.

Though it's more expensive per click, Overture/Google Adwords are well worth it. I'm not kidding when I say I'd rather have one click from Yahoo/AOL/Earthlink than 20 from the 2nd tier PPC search engines. But the 2nd/3rd tier PPC search engines have their place also. I think they are a great resource for those new to the PPC scence, as you won't have to invest as much money to find out what works for your niche'. Once you find out what works, take it to the next level, Google Adwords and Overture/Yahoo.

No, it's not easy and initially it's not cheap. When you actually figure it out, the cost is ZERO. It'll actually be like sticking one coin in a slot machine and getting 4 back, EVERY TIME. And so the more you put in, the more you get back.

I don't look at legitimate PPC advertising as an expense, but rather an investment, and a very good investment at that.

Good Luck!

In a niche market I use ppc for my ads campaigns, it converts pretty good. Using Adwords and Overture for that.

When targetting a bigger audience ppc can not convert that well. And will only cost you money. I tried goclick, 7search, searchfeed, adwords and overture. Didn't convert very well, only adwords and overture are good. Tried banner and textlinks aswel but I still believe that natural rankings work the best when selling products online.

I quite agree with you what I find, natural linking is the best

Sure, top rankings will always be the best converters, but you can't count on being at the top forever. Just when you're at the top, the money's rolling in...BAM...the SERPS change and you're no where to be found.

Knowing the art of PPC is just as important as knowing SEO.

Remember, you don't "Try" PPC. PPC will "Try" you, though. It's something that takes a lot of time to master.
