Like large companies, small business and home business
owners need to advertise. When it comes to advertising
dollars, small businesses don't have the budgets of large
companies. They must be more careful about how and where
dollars are spent.
Because small businesses and home businesses typically
don't have the budgets to hire search engine marketers to
optimize their websites for first page ranking, the best
way to get found on the internet is to use Pay Per Click
Advertising.
Pay Per Click Advertising is an online advertising format
that enables you to place your advertisements at or near
the top of search engines for your keywords based on the
amount you bid.
Google Adwords and Yahoo! Overture are the largest and
best known PPC search engines. To get your keywords placed
on the first pages of these first tier search engines costs
two, three, or many times more than getting highly placed
on second tier search engines. Of course, the first tier
search engines get about 70% of the market. But that means
that the other search engines get 30% of the traffic (about
a billion searches per month). Most small businesses don't
know about or think about this rich resource for
inexpensive advertising.
Here is a list of search engines that require a deposit of
$25.00 or less and have low (as little as $0.00) per click
rates: (I have included the Alexa Ranking (a low number of
1 is wonderful - a high number of 5 million is not good.)

Once you have started to make money using the second tier
PPC search engines, part of the profits could be leveraged
to invest in the first tier search engines to increase your
traffic and profits even further.
To summarize, if you use thesse suggestions, you will be
able to compete with the large companies on a limited budget.
