  12. PPC or Pay Per Click Pay per click (PPC) is an Internet advertising model used to direct traffic to websites, where advertisers pay the publisher (typically a website owner) when the ad is clicked. With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market. (from Wikipedia) www.MarkUBiz.com

  13. Cannot Set It And Forget It! • With PPC, businesses often set it and forget it. • This is bad because: • Google is always changing • You need to add and delete keywords in your campaign to bring your cost per click down • You need to make sure you do not have mobile setup if you do not have a mobile campaign in place • This is a monthly cost www.MarkUBiz.com

  14. Organic or Natural search results. Organic search results are listings on search engine results pages that appear because of their relevance to the search terms, as opposed to their being advertisements. (from Wikipedia) www.MarkUBiz.com

  15. Is Your Website Optimized? • Minimum of 350 words per page.

  17. A web directory or link directory is a directory on the World Wide Web. It specializes in linking to other web sites and categorizing those links.[1] • A web directory is not a search engine and does not display lists of web pages based on keywords; instead, it lists web sites by category and subcategory. The categorization is usually based on the whole web site rather than one page or a set of keywords, and sites are often limited to inclusion in only a few categories. Web directories often allow site owners to submit their site for inclusion, and have editors review submissions for fitness. (from Wikipedia) www.MarkUBiz.com
