When your site is optimized, the chances are more that Google indexes your site quickly and gives a high ranking to your site. • PPC – (Pay per Click) Allows you to create ads in Google or yahoo. With more ads created and linked to keywords, viewers who are interested in that topic will visit your site, hence you get the traffic. And since it is paid service, the more you pay for each click, the higher in the search engines your ads will appear. • Banner ads- Another type of ads which use diagram with pictures and texts, they usually appear on the top or bottom of the web page. • Google AdSense- Google AdSenseis a program that allows you to put ads online, and when the ads areclicked, you will make money. Besides making money, you get traffic also. • Online Magazines–You buy ad space for promoting, and like the banner ads, when the magazine generates traffic, you will pay according to the traffic. • E-commerce newsletters- Allow us to develop relationships with our clients and let them know when we invent something they may be interested in. • Online Directories – Those online directories and city guide yellow pages can be effective places to promote your site. • Website Lead Generation – It is a program that provides you with qualified leads and then you pay for each lead. Lead generation guarantees a return on investment and is a quite safe way with little risk.

Components of a Good E-Marketing Campaign: • Search Engine Optimization • Email Marketing Strategy • Online Advertising • Online Newsletters

Search Engine Optimization: • A study conducted shows that around 90% of Americans use the Internet daily, with over 2/3rd of purchases being researched on the Internet. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a procedure that attracts Internet traffic to your website as much as possible. It includes ranking your site on the initial pages of asearch, so that the web users can visit your website for the contents they are in search of. This is done using keyword phrases that the users generally put in the Internet search engines for searching a particular product or service.

Email Marketing Strategy: • Another important component of an effective e-marketing strategy is email marketing which is all about sending information of the product and services to the potential customers using email. This is a proven effective method of using online marketing as an efficient tool for business generation.

Online Advertising: • Online advertising is a marketing method, that has a very substantial Return On Investment (ROI) value. It consists of placing advertisements of products and services on the company website, sites which are ranking on the first pages of the search engine, and sites which are getting a considerable amount of traffic from Internet users.

Online Newsletters: • Businesses generally issue online newsletters to regular customers for letting them know what new introductory offers are available and which new products are likely to be launched. Unlike email marketing, these online newsletters are issued at regular time intervals.
