SEO
So what does marketing have to do with SEO?
Everything.
Search engine optimization requires great marketing strategies on an online businessman’s part to make it big in the Internet. It actually goes like any other business. If one owns a business, he’ll need to attract many customers, make them cater to his products, get a lead position in the market and proceed further up! Rising up to the number one spot in Google, Yahoo!, and other search engines is no different.
SEO has somehow become intertwined with internet marketing. Basically, the way it works is for an internet marketer to get the word out on the Internet that he/she has this business and is selling this type of product line, etc. Consumer markets will be determined and targeted, articles and press releases are submitted and published, social networks are tapped, etc.
No sweat. Simple as that.
But it’s no joke. One will have to invest a lot of time and hard work for his/her SEO strategies to pull off. Constant linkbuilding is needed. Consumer awareness is vital. Generating traffic and raising pagerank are now as important as making sales and having high conversions.
The Internet becoming a wild jungle, a dog-eat-dog world, where you take care to build your site’s position up without getting trampled upon by your competitors. Internet marketing has become more competitive, and new marketing strategies have evolved to bring in new techniques (in some cases, bring back old tactics that would still work) that would give them the upper hand.
It’s time-consuming. Tiring. Challenging.
But when you see your site at the top spot in Google, you’ll feel that “yahoo!” feeling and think that all those links you’ve built and all that time and energy you’ve used up were all worth it.
