Having a website is not enough to make your business running and able to compete. You have to expose your website. Make it known. It has to be visible. It has to be frequently targeted by consumers and surfers. Invest in marketing your internet site.  There are basically two options available to you, the SEO and PPC. These two are probably the most desirable alternatives you can get for your internet business as strategy for search engine marketing.

1. SEO SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Some researches indicate that 60% – 70% of internet surfers and users actually resort to using the Google search engine to find and locate web sites and pages, for any topic they desire. SEO is the process taken to make sure that the internet uses will find your website when ranked among the top results of a search. This way you can make sure that you will be visible and can clearly stand out from the rest.

To get a search engine optimization, you will have to build on your own internet site frequently hit internet links to web site pages. The process will involve IBLN or Independent Back-Linking Network, wherein hundreds or even thousands of pages will be utilized to promote a particular website of a client.

In SEO, there is no need for you to pay for the clicks although it will require you to spend time doing research to get a favorable combination of ads and target audience. The SEO process is a long term one. It requires months, 6 months at the least, before the proper outcome is fully achieved, but once the goal is accomplished, you will definitely get a steady source of profit.

2. PPC PPC means Pay Per Click. It gives way advertising on a search engine. These are sponsored listings that you see whenever you make a search. There will be a charge whenever a visitor or web surfer clicks on any of your ads. There will first be a bidding process. The highest bidder for the price per click will definitely get the chance to be first listed in the search engine. With this kind of advertising, you can still basically control your campaign as you get to create your own ad. You will also manage the target audience and still stay within the bounds of your budget.

Most of the providers of PPC advertising will allow you to specify the target market, either by topic, industry or geographical location. You can also very well check if your ad gets to be shown at all and if it is competitive with the rest. There are some guaranteed benefits when you get to maximize the PPC strategy.

• PPC lets you advertise to the whole of the online community. It is also relatively easy to set up.

• At first glance, PPC advertising may seem very expensive. Could it possibly happen that someone out there will go on clicking on your ad? This will definitely give you a large bill without the expected profit on your part. If this provides a lot of worries, be rest assured that there is a protection for you. Networks are able to recognize fraudulent clicks.

• You can also set a budget for a certain period. The moment your budget has been used up by the target number of clicks, your ads will no longer be displayed until the next period you want it again displayed.

• You will also be able to adjust well to changes in market demands and trends.

In deciding which of the two strategies will work right for you, think of your goals and of your resources. They definitely offer benefits and advantages that will work for your good. The better way to approach this two is to evaluate according to your short term and long term plans. Take the PPC course for your short term goals and choose SEO if you have long term ones.

Thank you.

I have a client who knows a little bit about the internet. I need to teach him about what SEO is, and WHY it is so important for his website. I remember coming across a video animation months back that did the job quickly and easily, and now I can’t find it…Help!

there are a few reasons to use SEM (ads / banners )
this is not in order
- SEO takes time. SEM puts you on page 1 for the keywords till the SEO reaches high places
- SEO will not get you results for all the key words you imagine. SEO can focus on some key words and SEM will go after other key words
- not all traffic comes from search engines. your focus should be on “stealing eye balls”. here is an example:
if you are a dentist and this web site http://www.childrendentists.com/ gets a lot of quality traffic (by quality traffic i mean the same “eye balls” you want ) then you want to “steal” their eye balls by putting a banner here. this way all the web visitors will see your banner and might come to your web site.
- SEM allows you to shift potential clients. for example, if someone is looking for Coca Cola, Pepsi might put an SEM campaign to say “Pepsi is better”. even if the Pepsi web site does not say that, the banner can say that.

Make sure you don’t have any typos in your content….
