Search Engine Marketing
A question that people often ask me is ‘What is the difference between Search Engine Marketing and Online Marketing’. Well, the reality is that they are extremely different, and the reasons behind this are explained in this article.
Search engine marketing is a completely specific form of advertising which focuses on improving the fortunes of your website on sites such as Google, Yahoo, and MSN. The reason to improve your performance of these sites is simple. 80% of all Internet users find what they are looking like via carrying out searches on Google, Yahoo, MSN, and the like. Therefore if you’re website doesn’t appear within the first page on the aforementioned search engines then you will be failing to target your desired audience.
The best form of search engine marketing that any company can undertake is called Website Optimisation. This focuses heavily on increasing the search engine position of your website, improving visitor numbers, and enabling you to receive a greater number of sales and enquiries.
So, what is so different between search engine marketing and online marketing?
Well, online marketing is an extremely broad form of advertising. Whereas search engine marketing is purely aimed at the search engines, online marketing attacks all possible boundaries, ranging from improving search engine performance to Pay-per-Click campaigns to building the number of links into your website, and much more.
Just like conventional marketing, certain forms of online marketing have a greater impact than others. For example, carrying out search engine marketing will undoubtedly enhance your website like you could only dream. However, if you added a PPC campaign to run alongside that then you will increase visitor numbers even further, and potentially improve sales figures at the same time.
Whereas simply carrying out a link campaign will see you fail to increase visitor numbers in the manner than you hoped for. This is simply because your website will only have increased its visibility for users of the websites that you are now linked on.
At the end of the day the more avenues that you open up to users the more visitors you will receive.
