The internet has changed the way we do business. Because of the web and email we can now make our services and products available globally, and we can keep in constant contact with our customers. Internet marketing is an important part of your success online. Here are 8 popular types of internet marketing.
1. PPC – Pay Per Click programs allow you to create an ad that is linked to a keyword(s). It is a type of sponsored online advertising that is used on a wide range of websites, including search engines (Google, Yahoo, MSN), where the advertiser only pays if a web user clicks on their ad. Hence the title, ‘pay per click.’ The rate per click can be anywhere from pennies per click to hundreds of dollars per click.
2. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) – Search engine optimization is a good way to increase the amount of traffic your site gets. Your web content can be written with appropriate keywords, phrases, body text, headings and metatags. SEO marketing helps in placing your website at higher ranks in search engines. SEO marketing also keeps visitors at your site and promotes buying behavior. And best of all, once the SEO marketing is in place it costs nothing to appear on page one of search results over and over and over again.
3. Content / Banner Advertising – These ads contain graphics that are colorful, animated, and catchy that will appear across the top or bottom of the web page. There are also vertical ads called sky scrapers which appear either on the right or left side of the page. Whichever type of ad appears on the page these ads will link to another website. In this case the other website is yours. Avoid animated ads. Statistically they are not as effective as ads that are just catchy without motion.
4. Google AdSense – With this program you’ll have ads of other websites appear on your site. Each time one of these ads is clicked you’ll make money. How much varies depending on the keyword associated with the ad. You can block out your competitors so they don’t appear on your site. The flip to this is when you purchase ads which will appear on other websites creating a link back to your site and improving your search engine ranking. These ads are not annoying like some styles like popups. In fact, they can be very effective at generating targeted traffic.
5. Article Marketing – Article marketing is a valuable method of getting traffic to your website. Article marketing is basically the process of writing articles and submitting them, along with links back to your website, to article directories on the internet. Article marketing uses content that matches your products or services. This creates a natural interest for the reader to click on the link to visit your website. And one great feature is that it’s completely free marketing. There are dozens if not hundreds of article sites that you can submit to free.
6. Affiliate Marketing is technique in which a business places an ad on another, high-traffic website and then rewards that website for the lead via a commission structure. This has become very popular in the last several years due to the ineffectiveness of generic marketing practices. This form of online marketing is very attractive since the business only pays for actual conversions, which is called Cost Per Action (CPA).
These are just a few types of internet marketing that you can do to promote your products and services online. It’s important to remember that the most successful Internet marketers utilize a broad range of marketing strategies that may include all of the types listed above.
