The price tag on placing an ad on search engine is very high though. In our experience, each keyword costs approximately $0.5 US to $2 US per click through. Usually it takes 80 to 120 click throughs to receive one sale. So each sale can cost from $40 to $240 spending on advertising on search engine. Although it costs a lot, but it is usually the most effective way to gain customers and traffic.
An alternate solution is to submit your site to web directories. Although you will not receive as much click throughs as search engine. But the cost is relatively low.
