LOL, welcome to every website owners problem. What you need to do is work on ranking organically in the search engines. This will take time though.

Echoing Mike's sentiments:

Time - learning what to do
Time - doing what you are supposed to do
Time - waiting for it to finally start working to see results
Time - to keep on working on it

Its a never ending marathon. The people with the Time (and stamina) to stick with it, get rewarded.

You might try to be more specific on your keywords when using adwords and such. If you are shooting for very general keywords with a lot of competition, then that could be what is killing your budget. I have had that problem before. Just a thought...

I use Adwords at the moment, I'm not really convinced that I'm paying for the real deal here. It gets quite expensive to run and I don't know if there's much follow through with the clicks. 20% are probably from my competitors trying to run up the bill

Thanks to all of you who has given me information.

The best and least expensive way to drive traffic to your site is just to work your way up the search engines. It definitely will take a HUGE chunk of your time though. It involves a ton of research and then putting what you learn into effect.

So if you bid for spot #8ish you will be below the competition's clicking view. They will still continue to click all of the top ads until those budgets run out.

By the time evening comes around the clicking competition will be home and the competing ads will have run out of budget.

Your ad should move up into the empty spaces and into view of clients. You might have to experiment with placement. The majority of my leads come through in the evening.

A $100 budget is not bad, if you know what you are doing.
You can spend some time learning SEO to improve your organic search rankings. This will take some time, but will payoff on the long run.

You can also work on improving the conversion rates on your Adwords campaign, by working on your landing pages, making a more attractive offer (why should someone sign up on your website?) adding some audio, video etc.
Use less competitive Keywords in your Adword campaigns. Bidding on "Yourhometown homes" or "Georgia Real Estate" can be very expensive. Use the Keyword suggestion tool in your adwords account, and you will find some relatively cheaper keywords.
Hope this helps.
