Internet Marketing

There is no doubt that we are in full swing of a paradigm shift for marketing .  For years companies used  “push marketing”.  This would be methods such as; cold calling, direct mail, TV commercials, radio commercials etc.  They were going out and banging customers over the head with their pitches.  We have now entered the age of “pull marketing”, consumers are looking for information and can easily find it due to the internet but are you on that list?

Social Media has become the new standard for interpersonal and public communication. Sites like Youtube, Facebook, Blogger.com, and Myspace are now all included within the 10 most heavily trafficked sites on the internet. Companies now have blogs rather than sending out press releases and they send out “tweets” on Twitter.com to announce new products and services rather than turning to traditional marketing methods. Viral marketing has quickly replaced the methods that wer e previously the most sought after. Companies that are breaking new ground and trying new ideas in social media are being richly rewarded, while other companies that are clinging to the same old methods and resting on their laurels are finding that they’re quickly being dubbed as old-fashioned “has been’s” that are not going to make it in the new world.

Pay-
Per-Click (PPC) advertising is currently the fastest way to bring a substantial amount of traffic to a website. Pay-Per-Click ads are displayed on the search engine results pages of all the major search engines, generally to the right side of the search results, but sometimes on top or on bottom. When a searcher clicks on a sponsored listing, they are immediately taken to the advertisers website and the advertiser is charged a small fee for that visit. Click charges can be as low as $0.05 cents or as high as $50.00 in some extreme cases. There are several pay-per-click engines, but the main engines include Google, Yahoo, and MSN.
