Online Marketing

Online marketing is very important, you have to make sure that you are receiving the right amount of visitors and to the right target audience.  To do this you have to advertise your site in the places where it is most likely to be seen, hoping that they then pick you and look at your site.  There are many ways as to which you can advertise and market your company.  These can include PPC (pay per click), SEO (search engine optimisation), SEM (search engine marketing), newsletter marketing, e-mail marketing and many more.

Search Engine Marketing is the advertising of your website in search engines.  This is done by increasing the amount of search engine result pages it appears in.  The more pages it appears in and the higher up on the list the better.  To do this you have to optimise the client’s site for the agreed keywords.  The keywords are what someone would type into a search engine to find your site.  Search engine marketing is very important when getting clients for your business.  If you are on the first page and are one of the top listings, then people are more than likely to click on your site rather then searching page after page for business that all do the same sort of work.

By optimising a site, you are putting in the keywords as many times as possible to ensure that your site is in the top 30 listings, preferably the top 10.  The content of your copy on the site should still make sense.  It is best to get as many keywords in the first and last paragraphs on your home page.  This way the search engines will be more than likely to pick them up.  Competition is always very high.  Everyone is competing for the same keywords as you, and each of them want the top spot.  It is very important that you keep your eye on where your site is listing each month.  If you start to slip down the list then you will have to optimise your site further.
