How do you define online marketing



Here's the definition of online marketing according to wikipedia:

Online Marketing is marketing on the Internet. It is a type of e-marketing, which in turn is a type of e-commerce. While at first the confusion of experiments, beta versions of websites, search engines and other online devices cause marketers to consider this world of the Internet unknowable and perhaps too unpredictable, there is now a growing body of work to which marketers are now paying attention in order to develop online marketing programs. The most known tools to marketers in the mid 2000s are currently tools grouped into 2 fields: online advertising and search engine optimization.

The term referring to the Internet and e-mail based aspects of a marketing campaign, such as banner ads, e-mail marketing, blogs, RSS feeds, search engine optimization, Pay-Per-Click etc are referred to as "Online Advertising."

Discussing all the aspects mentioned above is out of scope of this page but Internet Marketing and Business Articles has a collection of few hundred articles that will provide you enough information to get started.

Volumes have been written on the subject of advertising. Let's just say that if you aren't advertising, you probably won't be in business for long.  You must advertise.

Dr. Ken Evoy has several products that is worth taking a look. Make your Site Sell by Dr. Ken Evoy is 1500 page volume that has lots of information starting from designing your website to getting website traffic and web marketing.

There are many opportunities for advertising your business online.  Many people who are just starting out will jump on the "free" advertising bandwagon.

Right here is where we need to make a distinction between advertising and marketing.  These are two different topics. 

The very best free advertising you can get isn't really advertising at all. . .it's marketing.  Marketing your name, your knowledge and yes ultimately advertising your web site.

There are two methods of marketing for free that you should consider.

One is writing articles for ezine submission.  The other is to join business forums that coincide with your area of expertise. 

In either case, your approach should be subtle. A well crafted article on a subject that you know quite a bit about will go a long way towards bringing traffic to your web site.

The same holds true with forums. A forum is a place where people of like mind and interests come together to share information and knowledge.

It isn't a place for blatant advertising. Introduce yourself respectfully and contribute by offering assistance when another member has a particular challenge that you are qualified to address.

This brings us to ezine or newsletter advertising. Practically anywhere you go on the Internet you will find that this mode nets the highest return on your investment.

There are other factors, of course, such as sponsor ads versus solo ads or writing sales copy that sells. To get instant traffic to your website advertise in Pay per click search engines like google adwords, Yahoo search marketing (overture) etc. Perry Marshall has written a free Course in Google Adwords. This 5-part course offers some great ideas that many internet marketers recommend.
