Internet marketing need not be a foreign idea that you avoid because it seems to be an expensive and complex activity. The basics of traditional advertising and promotion campaigns also apply to Internet marketing:
Products and services that you offer
Costing of the products and services for profitability
Obtaining a position in the market
Promoting your products and services through effective tools
Focusing on the clients and not on your company
Making use of effective processing methods
Having proof of the effectiveness of campaigns.
Internet marketing need not be a foreign idea that you avoid because it seems to be an expensive and complex activity!
— J. Nortje (Marketing Director)
Design a web presence
Keep these principles in mind when you create a website. It should be functional, easy to use, attractive, findable, and offering something to let the user return. With so many templates available on the web, it is easy to fall into the trap of getting a generic design.
The only problem is that many of your customers will notice that you used a simple template. If you are not willing to invest in a properly designed website, they may lose confidence in your professionalism. Intoweb offers clients turnkey design solutions to help them portray a professional image in conjunction with functionality.
Optimization for search engine visibility
The next step in Internet marketing is getting your site to be positioned well on search engines as the majority of visits are generated through queries (using keywords) in search engine facilities. Without optimization you waste money to submit your site for inclusion in the major search engines. As such, Intoweb is able to provide you with the best optimization advice and help to guarantee top placement in search engines, and thus increase your traffic with up to 1000 times.
Once optimization is done for specific keywords, researched by our team of SEO specialists, your site is ready for submission. Many companies will offer you bulk submission to hundreds of search engines. Don’t fall for that. The majority of search engines reject bulk or computerized submissions and also rank sites listed in this way at the bottom end.
Submission for positioning
Our team of submission experts submit your site to the top search engines through proven methods and make sure your site complies with all the search engine requirements for inclusion. Companies offering to submit your site every two weeks will lead to the blacklisting of your site as these methods are considered spam by search engines. Doing it right the first time around, will ensure that your site ranks well.
Increasing traffic as part of Internet marketing
With reciprocal links, your site not only gets traffic, but also benefits from higher ranking. Google uses a complex algorithm to calculate your site’s worth and link popularity. It is of no use to get incoming links from sites offering thousands of link spaces. The location on the website as well as the ranking of the specific website linking to your site also plays a role. If your site is linked from high ranking sites relevant to content on your site, it helps to push up ranking and thus visibility on the Internet.
The Intoweb team only approaches high ranking and relevant sites when we request links back to your site. The timing is all important and this process is only started after full optimization of your site is completed. We also recommend getting useful content first before embarking on a link exchange program.
Content attracts search engines and users
Apart from good search engine placement for optimal relevant traffic, you need content on your site. Visitors don’t want to waste time at a site only trying to sell them goods. They want information. Giving them what they want helps to build loyalty. Through excellent content, your site also becomes more attractive for the search engines. You thus benefit both ways.
You build client confidence by establishing yourself as an expert in the specific field and get search engines to visit your site more often. Since content can help you reach the number one spot in Google for selected keywords phrases, this is one part of Internet marketing you should not overlook.
The Intoweb copy writers know how to write informative content with keywords embedded in strategic places. These articles are indexed by the search engines according to the keywords and thus help to increase relevant traffic. Since the articles are written in such a way as to provide credibility for the website owner, users are more inclined to make purchases. The articles thus also aid in the development of excellent sales conversion rates.
Apart from these basic, but essential Internet marketing services offered, Intoweb also offers several other Internet marketing solutions such as email marketing, affiliate programs, pay per click advertising, bulks SMS and MMS promotions, viral marketing, banner ads, and branding to name but a few.
