Can’t loose old marketing habits

Can’t loose old marketing habits?

Many people still stick to traditional advertising mediums rather than hiring a SEO expert to optimize their website. However, the choice of a marketing medium depens on the situation. Sometimes it’s better to use traditional marketing, in other cases SEO is a better choice, while sometimes you have to combine them to achieve the best effect. Read on to see the strengths and weaknesses of traditional marketing and

It sounds like a good exposure to pay the low price of $15 for 1000 impressions on one of the high traffic websites. It, after all, translates to 1000 people getting to view your banner. However, the main question is how many will actually click on the banner and how many actually make a purchase. The average rate of clicking through for a banner campaign comes to 0.38% so this comes to 3.8 people clicking on your advertising banner for fifteen dollars with a conversion rate of 1 to 5%. At this rate you have to spend quite a lot of cash before anybody buys from you.

Let’s talk about those stubborn popup ads that just refuse to go no matter what you do. Do you wonder whether they would give your site more exposure? That is not a good idea although a few banner sellers would cheat you that they do. It is really irritating when a banner pops and refuses to close especially when you are busy surfing and it puts most people off whatever is being advertised. Search Engine Pay Per Click

Although the internet boom is over the boom has just begun for search engines. Most famous search engines like Looksmart and Overture are now using this model. Search engine pay per click ensures that you only pay for the specific amount of clicks you get on your site instead of the amount of exposures you get. Doesn’t this sound good? Sometimes it becomes effective too because, for starters, the people who come to your link do so via a term that is relevant to your site. But it can become expensive because for example with Overture you bid on those terms you need to rank high and these bids can sometimes get high. Alternatively, Looksmart charges only $0.15 for every click- through that you get. This looks expensive too when your budget is small but if it is appealing to you get a SEO to get it done for you because it could get very expensive for competitive keywords.Conventional Media Campaigns

Posters, Newspaper advertisements, Radio and Television adverts are all forms of traditional advertising but Radio and Television ads are way too expensive for many medium sized websites. It is very important for an online firm that the magazine or newspaper reader remembers his website name after viewing the ad and as most of the experienced marketing people will tell you, you need to put an ad regularly for sometime for that to take place. That brings the cost of this effective campaign to quite a large amount.Search Engine Submissions

This entails the study of competition, keyword analysis, optimizing your website to get the chosen keywords, doing submissions to directories and search engines and doing a repeat of the whole process and submissions all over for periods of times. It sounds like a lot. How expensive is it? Finally, in the end it is cheaper compared to many of the methods discussed above, but it depends on the optimization you need. This is something you can do yourself if you have enough time.

Training somebody in house is not advisable as it is estimated that the monthly pay you give him amounts to much more than what a qualified SEO who comes with all the techniques and professional expertise would cost.

The cheap software are not ideal either because they won’t optimize the website, choose your keywords, study the traffic trends for a given period and they don’t even change with the ever changing guidelines and algorithms of the search engines.

The quality of the traffic not inferior to that generated by newspaper advertisements or banner ads either. People will have searched to get a relevant keyword to your site before making a click on you link. Therefore, contrary to common believe, the traffic generated is highly targeted.

Finally, are optimizers for Search engines expensive?  In comparison, especially, to the other kinds of marketing, it’s not expensive at all. Moreover, a reliable SEO will assist you to more sustained traffic and quality to your website than all the other mediums could ever achieve. Add commentJCommentsLatest articlesMost popular Why choose our internet marketing Agency?

Who Will Be Singing For The Presidential Inauguration Of Donald Trump?

You know you are not popular when people refuse to celebrate your success with you. Donald Trump’s inauguration into presidency is slated to happen on January 20, 2017 and the day is set to include music and dance performances by leading artists. However, it seems celebrities are refusing to perform at the ceremony left and right with Moby being the latest to say no to the president elect’s invitation. Reportedly, many high profile artists have been asked to sing at the ceremony, but refused the offer. David Foster, Celine Dion, Garth Brooks, Elton John and Andrea Bocelli are among some of the big names who have refused to participate in Trump’s inauguration.

Others, like Rebecca Ferguson, have agreed to perform under certain conditions. The singer of X Factor fame says she is willing to perform at the inauguration ceremony if he allowed her to sing ‘Strange Fruit’. Ferguson states that the song has enormous historical importance and she would be happy to attend the event if allowed to sing the song. Current sources state that Ferguson has since declined to perform though she sends America her love.

People who are definitely performing are the Rockettes dance group, who regularly perform at The City Hall and 16-year-old Jackie Evancho who was the runner up in 2010’s America’s Got Talent. Evancho has continued her musical performances and is scheduled to sing ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ at the celebration of Trump’s presidential win, though she has so far been the only solo singer to do so. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir has also agreed to perform at the event, though the 350-strong group has lost one member who quit claiming she could not throw roses at Hitler. Other celebrities that have been listed for performance tentatively but none are confirmed and with less than 8 days till the event, we hope Mr Trump can get his ducks in a row.

As the First Lady, all eyes were on her these past 8 years. But Michelle Obama proved to be an inspiration to fashionistas everywhere with her chic yet occasionally super affordable clothing. While she was hardly just eye-candy, Michelle’s style has given rise to contemporary power dressing. Despite who this year’s election winner will be, it seems clear that in a couple of months, America will be bidding farewell to Michelle Obama’s FLOTUS fashion. From her impressionable dress during Barrack Obama’s inauguration ceremony to the navy Versace gown she wore during his final farewell speech as president, the world has been enamored with her inspiring yet down-to-earth fashion.

In a move unlike any other First Lady before her, she invested in unspoken statements through her clothes. Michelle supported new and emerging designers and paid respects to her designers through her dress choices. Her clever use of sartorial opportunities showed itself in Michelle’s colorful and fun sense of style. She could be dressed in gorgeous fashion from Jason Wu or in more approachable daily wear from J.Crew, the world could always expect a bright and creative ensemble from her. With a few public appearances still on the agenda, there are still a couple of final opportunities left to take in the First Lady’s fashion for just a little bit longer.

With her affinity for designers everyone loves and her fearless approach to sparkle, she has captured more than a few hearts. Not only does she look effortlessly put together during State events, but manages to pull off casual clothes with an air of sophisticated cool. Michelle is hardly seen as being unafraid to take fashion risks and the world will miss that about the First Lady.
