The next show is November 7th & 8th at the San Diego Convention Center. Southern California is a fabulous market for Seasilver and a booth there might be a powerful marketing opportunity. Consider doing a coop for a booth with several of your upline and downline.

If you go to PayPerClickSearchEngines.com and look in the "other search engines" category you will find hundreds of (about 500) PPC search engines... all clamoring for your advertising dollar.
Dozens of them will allow you to set up an account FREE... and give you a free money deposit for signing up. There are several which will give an automatic $50 to $100 deposit to use for bidding on search terms and phrases. At $0.01 cent per click that would result in a huge amount of Free Traffic coming to your web sites. Your only investment is the time it takes to load your search terms and phrases. So... if you are cash poor... and have more time than money to invest...this could be your way to boot strap your business.
Use the earlier blogger entry on Free Tools For Evaluating PPC's to determine which of the PPC's offering freebies are worth your time and effort.
You will find other enticements as well: deposit bonuses, matching deposit bonuses, etc. These "second tier" PPC's will not give you a fraction of the traffic that the top ten will... but, remember that this is a pure numbers game. The more PPC's that you have working for you at low cost-per-click... the more cost efficient your lead generation system becomes. Individually these PPC's may not create much traffic... but cumulatively they can be very important lead sources.
Also, consider that you will be diversifying your lead sources... which is always a prudent move. You don't really care where the lead comes from...you just want them to come consistently...in sufficient quantity & quality to build your business quickly.
Try this action plan... set up one or two of these PPC's per day for the next week... at the end of the week you will have from 7 to 14 PPC's workinig for you...and you did not have to spend a penny of your cash to set them up! You can evaluate them for FREE... and decide which are worth investing your money in later.
If you are attempting to evaluate the potential traffic from any PPC [Pay-Per-Click search engine] (or assess the importance of any website), there are two important desktop tools that might be helpful to you.
The first is the Google Tool Bar. Using the Google Page Rank system you will get a relative feel for the importance of a given website. Note that this measurement is not precise. In fact, it is really nothing more than a brilliant marketing ploy by Google, but it does give you some feel for whether or not a given PPC is worth your time submitting to. Google uses a complicated algorithm to determine page rank (PR) but the main consideration is the number of incoming links to the site in question. I strongly recommend that you download the Google Tool Bar to your desktop and refer to it.
The second, and perhaps more important, tool is the Alexa Tool Bar. This tool will give a numerical ranking of any web site based on the actual traffic to that site. Any PPC which falls below the 200,000 range is probably not worth your time submitting to. They just do not have enough real traffic to do you any good.
Using the combination of these two free tools will allow you to better judge which PPC's you should spend your valuable time submitting search terms and phrases to. Recognize that these are just rough tools ... your judgement should always be the deciding factor. Some PPC's, because of the highly specialized nature of the target audience, will not do well in either the Google Page Rank or the Alexa traffic counts. They still might return good results and be worth your efforts.

With all the changes going on with regard to trademarks, advertising guidelines, etc. it makes sense for every distributor to review the current policies as sent to me today by Jason Berkes, the President of Seasilver. Here is the url: http://www.seasilver.com/pdf/policy_procedure.pdf
