With all the information out there about advertising online, sometimes we forget about advertising in the real world too. While it is important to get listed in online directories and do link exchanges or social networking to get the word out about your site, another less traveled avenue is standard advertising methods.

Some standard methods of advertising available:

Newspaper Ads - Depending on your site’s niche, advertising in the classified section of the newspaper may be a viable option for you. If so, also consider advertising in newspapers from other areas of the country as well as the classified-only newspapers that are distributed freely in various locations.

Bumper Stickers/Antenna Balls - These products are available at a reasonable price from a number of places online. Seeing them drive around in your own town is not only fun, but could work out to be profitable.

Car Magnet - Another way of advertising your site is buying one of the large magnetic panels to put on your door as you drive around. Advertising your URL like this can payoff.

Lawn Signs - Depending on advertising laws in your area, it may be possible to stick up election type lawn signs at busy intersections.

Community Bulletin Boards - Many grocery stores and other sites offer community bulletin boards for announcements and advertising. Making use of these could pay off in the long run.

…and there are more!

Look into real world advertising options for your website, it could be exactly what you need.
