How would you like to receive highly targeted traffic to your web site?

As you know, IdeaMarketers.com is all about assisting you in the promotion of your message — by allowing you to post your articles,  press releases, info products, audios and videos to our high traffic  site. Now we’ve added another economical option for promoting your events, resources, sales pages, etc. to targeted audiences.

We call them “Idea Ads.” You load your title, link, and description into a category of your choice. Then your ad appears on every article/press release in that category.  This means your ad/link could appear on hundreds, even thousands of targeted pages.

Best of all it’s incredibly affordable because it uses our same set-your-own-pricing model (aka our bidding system).

Find out how to receive this highly targeted traffic to your web site by placing your ad directly in front of your audience at http://www.ideamarketers.com/ideaad.cfm

As far as I know there aren’t too many content directories online that will let you embed your videos into your articles, but not only do we allow it at IdeaMarketers.com, but we encourage it. It’s always a good idea to give people multiple ways to consume your information. Some people would rather read what you have to say, but others would prefer to watch a video or listen to an audio.

For example, I’d rather watch a video or listen to an audio most of the time. I can do that while I work on something else that is mindless, but that needs to be done. In this video I’ll show you just how simple it is to add video to your articles on IdeaMarketers.com.
