I am ready to give up trying to advertise on the Internet, They promise the world and deliver nothing. How to choose the right company with results is what I'm searching for.

You need to do a bit of homework.
Choose advertising strategies which align with your targeted customer base.

If you are selling 'wankles' don't try to advertise on sites that focus on 'twinkles'.
Find sites which focus on 'wankles' and things directly related to 'wankles'.

If you choose a company to do your ads, choose a company which offers a range of market coverage which includes 'wankles'.

So, you're hoping one of the women will
offer you a pity date?

Boy that is a horrible answer. Do you actually believe this post had anything to do with women and dating? I was exploring the site and my post was about my immedeate concern which obviously is not women.

There use to be a thing called YELLOW PAGES where you buy an add and for sure at least you know eventually you will get calls, boy I miss those days!

Me too!

Like I was saying, you need to 'target' your ads now.
Social media is probably one of the best ways to reach your targeted customers besides paying for TV placement or radio ads.
Youtube also has potential because it offers company profiles and ad revenue on your videos.
You can also set up webpages which offer incentives when people click on your ads.

Smart phones put an end to the physical yellow pages but there are online yellow page apps which do pretty much the same thing.

There are still newspapers and free circulars like pennysaver where you can buy ad space. You can join forums and online communities which favor your product.

If you look around on the web I'm sure you will find many apps which you could use.

I think the best way to advertise is to run your own campaign and run it through all the social media platforms like facebook, twitter, reddit...

It's free and just try to be consistent, add adverts on a regular basis to show the account is live and current, not once in a blue moon...

Also submit your website url to the well known directories, including yell which is the online version of yellow pages?...

It may take a little time to establish a foothold but it's way better than coughing up big cheddar for a short term listing...

Don't buy any advertising of seo operatives, because they won't guarantee anything, and even if they do guarantee results the value for money or subscription systems used are not worth the money...

Good luck...

Honestly no one can guarantee you with Advertising to bring you any business.. Best Advertisement is word of mouth due to good work ..

But as some has said use the internet yourself make sure you are up to date with Google. Create your own website..

Use the internet Facebook etc to Advertise all for free..

I had a vacation rental on the Oregon coast..normal
occupancy was about 35%, not good enough for me...
I reached 100% occupancy and NOT going through the
Chamber of Commerce who charged for a listing and
rarely came through.

I found Angie's List.
100% occupancy with NO fees to anyone.
Fast, smooth, consistent.
FREE to advertise.
Success.

Good luck ;-)
