The power of Internet marketing.

By: jassa

applying Internet marketing techniques are getting “a clear return in top-line revenues for their investment.”
The simple truth, then, is that if your company is not dedicating a significant percentage of its advertising/marketing budget to the Internet, particularly to search engine marketing (SEM), you’re giving up a valuable opportunity. Marketing Sharpe claims that “so few marketers are budgeting enough for SEO [search engine optimization] that it can be a massive competitive advantage for you still.” Here’s why you should.

The Benefits of Search Engine Marketing
Acquire Qualified Visitors
the greatest benefit to SEM is that the people you reach are the ones you want, and the ones who want you, because they are searching for exactly what you sell. SEM has the advantage that it delivers exactly the information the searcher is looking for at the time that they need it. As opposed to television viewers who are watching for entertainment purposes, Internet users, and searchers in particular, are searching with a purpose—they want the information.

Enlarge Your Audience
In addition to bringing highly-qualified visitors to your site; SEM exposes you to a much larger audience. Not only is the number of people online increasing but the number of people searching and buying online is also growing, dramatically. Approximately 140 million in the U.S. have Internet in their homes and those who don’t have it at home have access to it at work or in public places like libraries. That’s better coverage than you can get through any other advertising medium.

Be Cost Efficient
because the visitors you are bringing to your site are qualified, you’re not wasting marketing money on people who don’t matter to you. In addition, Piper Jaffrey reports that search engine marketing is the most cost effective Internet marketing technique available. At only $.45/lead, it far outweighs banner ads at $2.00/lead and direct mail at an astonishing $9.94/lead. Not only is search the most cost effective technique, but it’s also the most profitable. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, keyword search dominates any other category (including rich media and display ads/banners), producing approximately 41% of U.S. Internet revenue for 2004.

Measure Your Results
There is a vast array of technology available, such as Omniture’s Site Catalyst ™, to help you track exactly what’s going on. You can track such things as the specific keywords that people are using to reach your site or where visitors are entering and exiting your site. This information is quantifiable and it can be gained immediately. Not many advertising firms can boast measuring and quantifying their results with that level of detail.

Revise Your Campaign (Easily)
Unlike TV commercials or magazine ads, which can both be expensive and time-consuming, especially if they fail, your Internet marketing campaign is quickly and easily revised. You rarely need to start from scratch but instead just need to do something as simple as rewrite a page or two on your website.

If you haven’t jumped on the Internet marketing bandwagon, it’s about time you do or you’ll soon find you’ve been left in the dust. Go beyond your traditional advertising firm and consult one who can offer you Internet marketing techniques with proven, measurable results.
