Internet Marketing

Internet marketing is exactly what it states, marketing products, services
or information on the internet.

Online marketing would qualify under the same terminology.

Internet marketing is way beyond what the average person or internet user
may think.

Internet marketing is more than just having a web address with a website up
and hosted by some company, there are millions of web sites set up like this
on a daily basis.

An internet marketing strategy and campaign is critical to obtain desired
goals in a very competitive internet or otherwise online market. It is worth
finding your place in this very competitive internet marketing environment,
options can be almost limitless.

Using the internet as a platform you give yourself or your company the
opportunity to reach clients way beyond the restrictions of your physical
location, you can literally access anyone around the world.

In general there are four avenues of marketing on the internet:

SEO - Search engine optimisation obtained by organic searches on search
engines and other web directories.
SEM – search engine marketing, which a paid version is amounting to costs
per click (cpc). These are the sponsored ads which come up on search engine
results.
Affiliate marketing is another option where you offer rewards to other
websites for bringing people to you website.
Social media marketing – is one of the most popular and fastest growing
internet marketing options available today.

Social sites like Facebook and Twitter carry a lot of weight, because of
users trusting recommendations from other friends. Facebook having a
following of over 700 million and nearing ever closer to the one billion
mark is a huge market sector, also remembering that this is an instant
customer base (not like search engines which may take months to get the
desired results).


my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...

Get More Visitors to Take an action When visiting your Website

When you start out in the blogosphere, there are two words that you hear over and over again. 1. Content - Because let's face it, if you're not writing anything, your blog is going to be pretty lonesome 2. Traffic - The rationale being that if no one is visiting your content, you can't do much, including make money I'd like to toss something out there though that not a lot of people seem to talk about, and that's quality in your content and in your traffic.

Right? The two modes of blogging Now, there are two ways that people strive for that goal. The more predominant way is to play the blogging game as if you were a commercial fisherman. The commercial fisherman uses gigantic nets, and ...

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...
