Internet Marketing

Can you afford not to market properly on the web?

A viable Internet marketing strategy is vital for the long term success of any company these days. Whether the bulk of your business is done online or offline, an increasing number of prospects look first to the web before making their most important decisions. Without a strong internet presence and the implementation of a solid internet marketing plan, you will not be able to succeed in today’s increasingly competitive market.

Internet marketing can generally be defined as generating sales and/or capturing leads from potential customers that are surfing the Internet.

Traditionally, this has meant trying to get your website into Google (and others) search engine rankings so that it shows up when a potential customer of yours types in a “keyword phrase”. There are specialists and consultants that make their living working with companies to try and get their sites on the first page of Google’s search engine results for the keywords that everyone thinks will generate sales and leads. This consulting service is called search engine optimization.

Internet marketing has grown to include pay per click advertising. These are ads (when you do a Google search, they show up on the right hand side of the page) that are written by advertisers to be triggered when certain keywords or phrases are searched on. Each time a person clicks on the ad, they are sent to the advertiser’s website, and the advertiser is charged for that “click”. This is how Google makes billions of dollars.

The future of Internet marketing will be the social networking sites like Facebook. Here, the most efficient advertising will be “viral” and more “virtual word of mouth”. The most effective types of targeting for these advertising vehicles will be demographic targeting rather than keyword targeting. This is much more complex than search engine optimization and pay per click advertising, but has the potential to be much more profitable!

The biggest problem with Internet marketing is that most small business owners simply don't have the time or knowledge to do it themselves. And that's where we can step in to lend a hand.
