Best Internet Marketing Strategies- Part I
By Christian Del Monte

 

Researching the best Internet marketing strategies is a bit of a task. Why? Because most Internet marketing companies don’t want to share their strategies with you! Instead they want to sell them. So scouring the Web usually leads to lose ends and service puffery. So what are the best Internet marketing strategies?

Well honestly, the question itself is flawed. Lets think about it. What works best for one, doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for another. So lets start with the basics, shall we?

What exactly is your business model? Are you selling a product? A Service? Or trying to promote an affiliate? If you’re trying to promote a product or service, generally speaking your strategy will be very similar. If you’re an affiliate, that is one that is promoting a product or service that you don’t own, the basic strategy is related in that you are still trying to promote “widgets”, however your web strategy will be fundamentally different. Lets discuss products and services (part I). We’ll discuss affiliate-marketing strategies more in detail in part II of this writing.

Products and Services
If you’re trying to promote a product or service, we must first look at its stage in the product life circle. (I know, you didn’t want to get the marketing book out, but we are!). If you’re offering is in the midst of the introduction stage, the need has not been fully identified yet, even though one may exist.

This is important because most Internet marketing experts will tell you to start with “xyz” no matter what your offering is. Generally (PPC) or search engine optimization (SEO) being the culprit. The reason is usually their general effectiveness. Yes, search engine marketing is effective. No two ways about it. However may not be best if no one knows that your product is in existence. If this is the case, you might be better suited for some push strategies such as:

1. Press releases
2. Display ads (banner)
3. Articles
4. Podcasting
5. Traditional push vehicles such as radio or TV

If your product offering is in the growth or maturity stage, search engine marketing can be highly effective. When considering search engine marketing, here are some basic items you may want to evaluate when creating your strategy:

1. Budget
2. Regionality of market
3. Target audience
4. Core competencies
5. Website (functionality, ease of use, and conversion friendliness)

Budgeting
Without getting into great detail into each item, budget comes to mind for most. On limited by budget, determining what to spend your money on can be a daunting task. I recommend that even the most budget minded start with pay per click advertising. My reasoning is that you can easily test the business model before you devote massive financial resources to it. In addition, if your paid advertising strategies soar, this can be a great guideline to base your search engine optimization efforts on.

Regionality, Target Audience, and Competencies
Regardless of budget, your website should include a regional focus (if applicable) and speak in a language that resembles your target audience. In addition, content is best utilized if it describes your core competencies that give your visitors a reason to buy from you.

The Website
Website functionality and ease of use are a good foundation to any successful strategy. As a general rule of thumb, your website should be in keeping of your competitors and direct the target audience to the action you would like them to take. The KISS principle (i.e. keep it simple stupid) cannot be overstated enough in the above items. Concentrate your efforts on benefits to the end user and you will reap rewards of victory.

Search engine marketing nevertheless, does have limitations such as:
· Low regional search traffic resulting in slowed results
· Local targeting issues (which at the time of this writing is being best served by Google)
· Keyword targeting issues
· Budget constraints
· Competitive saturation

Shortcomings Of Regional Traffic
Regionally based strategies may fall short due to low search volume followed by targeting issues. Currently, Google paid advertising does offer some great local targeting tools due to their unique ability to target end users via their IP address. Yahoo! on the other hand, relies on local keyword filters that are based on cities that you include in your service area.

Whether you decide Google or Yahoo! as your regional search partner, you will likely find that some industries suffer from low traffic volume.

Keyword Targeting Issues
Keyword targeting issues arise when a keyword either has multiple meanings or the market is sticky to a particular offering within the keyword scope. For example, the keyword “marketing professionals” could imply a business looking for one or an industry professional looking for a job.

In the case of keyword stickiness, the website owner can find the market stubborn to buy its offering if its not tailored to the masses. For example the keyword “pottery” could imply any price range. However, if 99% of the market is looking for pottery priced from $1-2 and your selling exotic pottery for $500 a pop, you may find yourself paying too much for what the market doest want.

Budget Constraints and Competitive Saturation
Budget constraints are pretty self-explanatory and are usually tied to competitive market saturation. An interesting fact about search engine marketing is that keyword prices are typically tied to market ROI. In addition, industries that are tough to compete in generally have a high ROI arbitrage model to blame.

You probably have run across a few of the Websites in question yourself, such as the “Fill out xyz for 4 free quotes” or travel websites. Those companies can afford the high keyword costs due to the fact that they are reselling the same “xyz” to multiple vendors. This in effect makes it very difficult for companies marketing exclusively to compete against the giants.

In Summary
The above only describes some basic guidelines for effective Web marketing strategizing and is in no way intended to be the “law of the land.” However, what does come to light is that basic marketing strategies are the foundation for triumph in almost any business model and cannot simply be “cookie cut” from one grand Pooh-Bah of all online mediums. The best strategeer’s will continually employ new, measure results, and refine their strategies according to what provides the greatest overall benefit. If your looking for the best internet marketing strategy, scour the web no longer, because the best Internet marketing strategy lies within your grasp. Now its up to you to sell them!

 

Internet Marketing Strategies - 10 Killer Tips To Achieve ANY Web Success!
By Anh Nguyet

 

The main goal of a website is to attract visitors and keep them coming to your website time and time again. Even when you build a stellar number one professional website, there is never a guarantee that there will be a substantial amount of visiting online users. Here are 10 tips you can apply to your internet marketing approach that will assist you to succeed with your website.

1) The Internet; the preferred choice for the new millennium.
The internet is a wealth of information that through technology allows the online user to interact with the information available at their own leisure and pace. A very good approach for your website is to provide as many means to acquire various different options to your visitors of obtaining the specific information desired.

2) Time is Money
When a visitor is viewing your website you need to grab their attention quickly and keep them interested in your product or service. Do not over crowd your website though, for that can be disinteresting and seem complicated. A webmaster is most effective if the information provided is perceived to be clear and concise to the visitors.

3) Design a Website that is Customer Friendly
The needs of your customers need to be satisfied not the needs of the company. Always post content that is beneficial and useful to the customer. Try not to over-flatter the company for that may seem indulgent and arrogant to your visitors.

4) Visitors should remain Involved
Keep your visitors involved for they should always feel like a valued customer. Maintain communication open with your customers. A good way to achieve this is to ask for feedback on your website and as well obtain an email. This way you can always have a registry of your visitors and try to develop a relationship with all your potential customers.

5) Always Keep your Information Up to Date
A webmaster should always maintain the most current information available to their visitors. Although there should be information on your website that will not change much, changing information always sparks interest and warrants a visitor return. Always provide tips and techniques that solve simple everyday problems.

6) Be Vigilant of Design and Form
Big graphics can sometimes be perceived as an over kill and often are more appealing to the web designer more so than to the customer. Always try to be appealing to all your visitors. Keep in mind some visitors use dial-up connections and if it takes to long for your website to load that can often cause disinterest. Do make your website inviting and exciting, be aware that internet users commonly enjoy being entertained.

7) Promote your Website
It is always best to use a web form. A common use of this is to use the Push/Pull method. A website should pull their visitors in and your websites should push content back to its visitors in the form of a newsletter among other materials. Always have a mailing list and use it.

8) Be Attainable
The Internet is used by millions, when you set up a website make sure to keep in tune of what is happening with your visitors and other related websites in your genre. Always provide an email for direct contact. You should always be available to your visitors.

9) Attract Repeat Traffic
Always provide contest, newsletters, forums, blogs anything that would warrant a return to your website. Do not just provide links that just send potential customers away, always explain how they relate to your website as to give your customers an invitation back to your website.

10) Track your Traffic
Always be well aware of how many visitors are looking at your website daily. Are they participating in your forums? Are they spending a considerable time on your website? The answers to these questions allow you to fine tune the needs of your visitors. A successful website always appeases the needs and wants of its targeted audience.
