Both the ways have their own pros & cons.

In the paid advertisements, sometime returns are much much lower compared to the cost of advertisement. For example, a banner on a well known hosting directory in a particular category will cost you $400 to $500 a month ... and returns are not that high

Free advertisements are much cheaper, but it is hard to find a good traffic using it. Or you need to do really hard work to have very good traffic.

Paid: i am already try paid advertising and invest $150 and get only 5 - 10 click

but Free Advertising is good, Search in google "Free Classified" and submit your classifieds in all free sites.

- Blog Commenting
- Forum Posting,Reply,etc
- Advertise on your own other sites
- Free Classifieds
- Free URL Submission

Cheap Paid Advertisements:
- Business Listening in Yellow Pages
- Hosting Directory(Costly)
- Buy Links
- PPC Advertising, Page Impression
- Hire someone for posting your advertise in free sites.

I must agree with the last two post

I been working on improving my organic search ranking for the past week or so. BravoHosting will tell you that it's all I been doing this past week. So far my work is starting to pay off. It's just a matter of following the old cliche "Keeping your nose to the grindstone' as if you don't pay particular attention to your organic rankings you will slip in the background again. That means keeping content fresh on the pages that you are focusing on. Make weekly changes or better to those page to keep Google on it's toes.

The most cost effective method is probably SEO - generating your traffic through organic search.
In the web hosting business, you probably shouldn't go for PPC because the leads are very expensive. It could go up to $20-30 per lead which is really not worth the investment.

Word of Mouth
While you can blab all you want about your business, people will listen only if other customers talk. So encourage them to spread the word about your business, if they are happy with your services and products. When people listen to reviews of fellow customers, they feel that they can trust the business better. A small trick here is to hire a 'talker' who will pretend to be your customer – for a fee – and talk about your business to prospective customer and talk at length about the awesomeness that your business is.

Forum posting is also very Fruitful way to Advertise your product but for me the best way is Social networking websites.
