I currently have a small group of local clients I help with organic, Google Adwords and social media SEO.

PPC (Google AdWords) will generate good results if you create a good set of keywords and ads that match the searches and speak to the motivated seller.

Sure, I've gotten a couple of deals off the MLS over the years, but the bulk of your deals will come from off-market opportunities - mostly found via paid marketing aimed directly at the home sellers (direct mail, Google AdWords, signs, etc.).

Focus on non-MLS sources.Otherwise, there are 3 workhorses in REI marketing:1) Direct mail to absentee owners WITH EQUITY2) AdWords with a good set of REI related keywords ("sell my house fast", etc.)3) Signs - Billboards, bandits, bus stop signage, etc.

Unless, of course, you are planning to do a big google adwords campaign or other paid advertising.  

Certainly, you do not need to pay them.The online marketing thing that actually WORKS is Google AdWords.  

Omar,I do online marketing (adwords, facebook, etc.) for a development company in the multifamily niche. 

The podcast I was listening to today (33 I think with Sam Craven) was talking about pay per click and Google ad words and they extra emphasized the importance of putting a daily limit on the amount of money you're willing to spend.
