About Online Marketing (SEO/SEP/SEM)
Does Internet search engine marketing work?
Yes! There are many third party reports and studies proving this. According to Forrester Research Media Field Study, “getting a loyal audience in the first place is best done by Search Engine Placement.” Over 80% of web users find the sites they're looking for with a search engine, according to both Forrester Research and Georgia Tech's GVU Center User Surveys.
Search engine traffic is qualified because users initiate the search with a purpose, making this traffic targeted and more valuable than traffic from the "broadcast advertising" methods used by traditional marketing. By using search engines, you are receiving traffic that is looking for the service, products, or information on your website.
How many people use search engines?
Millions every day. During July, 2002 over 189 million unique visitors used Microsoft, AOL Time Warner and Yahoo! search engines. Google has over 200 million search queries each day.
Why can’t I find my web site on popular search engines?
Your website is probably not indexed by popular search engines. Submitting alone does not get you results.
To be effective, your website must be optimized so it ranks high on the search engine results for certain key words. This is a hard, complicated thing to achieve. There are numerous tactics and ways to place your website high on search engines. Please see our Attracting Quality Traffic service page.
