Internet Marketing Strategy

There are now millions of websites, and if you're in a competitive business, it's virtually impossible to break through the clutter if you don't have a well-planned and competently executed Internet marketing strategy that begins with search marketing. Almost all business websites need referrals from the search engines to be successful.

A principal goal of search marketing is showing the search engines that your website has better, more authoritative content than your competitors.

Your own goal, of course, is to make your business website generate more revenue for you. Intelligent search marketing can (1) help the search engines “crawl” your site more thoroughly and more frequently, and (2) get your site indexed in search engine databases in ways that are advantageous to your business.

Properly done, search marketing leads to improved search engine ranking for your site under your targeted keywords, a steady increase in the number of visitors to your site, and ultimately, more leads and more sales.

Search Engine Optimization

Search marketing begins with search engine optimization (SEO), which involves editing the content on your website so that the search engines are more likely to refer their users to your site.

It's important to understand that — more than anything else — search engine optimization means carefully editing the text on each of the important pages of your website.

• The text on your website should be precise and concise.
• The search terms you're targeting on a particular page should be used two or more times.

Make sure that your search engine optimization specialist can demonstrate that he or she is an experienced writer and editor.

You might ask him or her to look at your existing website, to write no more than three or four sentences that summarize what your company offers, and to email that text to you in a day or two.

Long-Term Commitment to Search Marketing

If your online competitors are aggressive and you are determined to do what it takes to compete with them, then after your initial SEO has been completed, you'll need to make a long-term commitment to search marketing.

You'll see a variety of claims and even guarantees of specific results, but search marketing professionals will advise you to be very careful about guarantees if you're in a competitive online environment. People sometimes used to think of SEO as a set of tricks used to outsmart the search engines — but because it will eventually hurt you, that kind of “black hat marketing” is not done by reputable Internet marketing specialists.
