Internet marketing, online marketing or web marketing is the practice of generating sales and/or leads from your target market while they are browsing the internet.
Originally "Internet marketing" meant trying to get your website indexed by Google (and other search engines like Bing and Yahoo!) in such a way that when a person from your target market types a “keyword phrase” into the search box, your web site is one of the first that pops up on the search results page. As the web grew, however, ranking your website in search engines became merely one of many ways to market a business online. In fact, a whole industry, dubbed search engine optimization or "SEO" was borne out of the many efforts required to secure a top spot in Google's search results. SEO specialists and consultants now make their living working with companies to try and get their web site listed on the "first page of Google" under the keywords a business believes will most likely generate sales and leads. As mentioned in the paragraph above, Internet marketing grew and branched out to also include new marketing channels such as "pay-per-click" or PPC advertising. To understand what PPC ads are, remember when you conduct a search on Google, there are short text boxes with accompanying web links located across the top and right hand sides of the page? Those ads are written by advertisers, and are triggered when someone types certain keywords into their search box. When that person clicks on an ad, they are sent to the advertiser’s website, and the advertiser is charged by the search engine for that “click”. This is one way Google earns billions of dollars in ad revenues - they are on the receiving end of the revenue generated by "clicks". |
The big trend in Internet marketing today is using social networking sites like Facebook, Pinterest & Instagram. Due to the "sharing" functionality of social sites, well presented information about your web site has the potential to go “viral” and generate “virtual word of mouth” mentions. For social sites, it is demographic, rather than keyword targeting, which allows advertisers to target their audiences most efficiently.
Advertising on social sites is much more complex than search engine optimization and pay per click advertising, but has the potential to be much more profitable at a lower cost.
