Four Alternatives to Google Adwords That Are Running Promos

When I first started blogging I became aware of Google Adsense and Google Adwords. Intimidated by the horror stories others told of the money marketers lost on fruitless campaigns, I sought other advertising methods. (Today, Google Adsense checks pay my car payment every other month. Adwords is quickly increasing my income. Believe me, it wasn't always like that.) Why should anyone advertise anywhere else? Other advertising networks may have less competition for your particular service or product. It couldn't hurt to give it a try.

Here are just a few of the advertising networks available to bloggers and internet marketers. I chose to only post the networks that are currently running promotions. If you've never used ppc or text links advertising, these promos are a great opportunity to get started.
