What is Search Engine Marketing ?


Search Engine Marketing is "Marketing via Search Engines". It is a set of marketing tools to increase the visibility of a website in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPs).

Search Engine Marketing
Search Engine Optimization or SEO aspires to index and enhance rankings for the WebPages which are most appropriate to the keywords searched for according to the algorithm of each Search Engine. The related pages are reverted in Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS). It's an essential fact that authentic Search Engine Optimizers are basically the vendors who keep their target market in mind as much as the search engine algorithms. Hence, while we call this process search engine optimization, good marketers will note that their focus is to optimize their web page for the search engine user, who is their target audience. For instance, at one time it was believed that keyword density was a vital ranking factor, but these days that view is not usually held among SEO professionals..

Pay Per Click is also called sponsored search and Search Engine Advertising. The most popular programs are offered by Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft. Some offer PPC, where the advertiser is only charged when a user clicks on the ad, also known as Cost Per Click (CPC). Others use a Cost Per Impression (CPM) model where advertisers are charged for impressions. Ads can take many forms, including text, banner ads, video ads, map ads, and even audio ads. It is of two types:

* Advertising based on a keyword search
* Advertising based on content context

Paid Inclusion - Search engines use computer programs called spiders or web crawlers to automatically discover websites and catalog their content. As this process can take some time and requires a website to be linked to from another website (to allow the crawler to find it), most search engines except for Google provide another channel to be included in search rankings via paying. This is different from pay per click advertising because the inclusion is guaranteed but not placement.

What is Link Popularity?

Link popularity is the method to evaluate the quantity and quality of other web sites that link to a specific website on the World Wide Web. It is an instance of the move by the Search Engines towards off-the-page-criteria to find out value content. In theory, off-the-page-criteria add the feature of fairness to Search Engine Rankings. Link popularity plays a vital role in the visibility of a website amongst the top of the search results. Certainly, some Search Engines require at least one or more links coming to a website, otherwise they will drop it from their index. Major Search engines such as Google use a special link analysis scheme to rank web pages. Citations from other WWW authors help to define a site's reputation. The viewpoint of link popularity is that important sites will attract many links. Only content-rich sites are able to attract the quality links to their websites. Link popularity accepts that not all incoming/inbound links are equal, as an inbound link from a major directory holds extra weight than an inbound link from a vague individual home page. In other words, the quality of incoming links counts more than utter numbers of them. Here are some strategies that are generally considered to be important to increase link popularity:

There should be links from the home page to all sub pages so that a search engine can transfer some link popularity to the sub pages.

Suitable anchor text with relevant keywords should be used in the text links that are pointing to pages within a site (technically, this helps link context, not link popularity).

Getting links from other web sites, particularly sites with high Page Rank, can be one of the most powerful site promotion tools. Therefore, the webmaster should try to get links from other important sites offering information or products compatible or synergistic to his/her own site or from sites that cater to the same audience the webmaster does. The webmaster should explain the advantages to the potential link partner and the advantages his/her site has to their visitors.

One way links often count for more than reciprocal links.

The webmaster should list his/her site in one or more of the major directories such as Yahoo! or the Open Directory Project.

The webmaster should only link to sites that he/she can trust, i.e. sites that do not use "Spammy Techniques".

The webmaster should not participate in link exchange programs or link farms, as search engines will ban sites that participate in such programs.

Why do you need Search Engine Optimization?

In this universal Internet era the industry presence is undeniably related to the company's online existence. If you are opting for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) for promoting your website, then you are not required to invest heavily like in the regular advertising media i.e. print, TV, or radio. Most of the startup companies do not have the budget to promote their site through those mediums. If that is your situation, doing some careful research about SEO can help you access a form of advertising that is nearly free and reaches millions of people interested in exactly what you have to offer. If you have the budget to pay a professional for this service, make sure to investigate very carefully and get examples of their work. If a company offers you a guaranteed top spot on Google, be weary. True SEO professionals will tell you the truth: that getting a high search ranking for a competitive key word phrase will take months of diligent work and planning, and involves many factors that you cannot control due to competition for the elusive top spot.

When you are writing the copy for your web site, use the language that contains your key words in order to make the website key phrase rich as it is very well said the "Content is the King". Try to provide information that your visitors will find useful for themselves. People are much more likely to buy a product or service from a company that gives some of its expertise for free. It is also very necessary to frequently update the information on your site to keep visitors returning to see what new information is available.
