20. Search Engine Marketing

21. Search Engine Marketing Defined
SEM is an acronym for "Search Engine Marketing.” SEM is a form of internet marketing that seeks to promote websites by increasing their visibility in search engine result pages (SERPs).
The primary SEM methods include:
Search engine optimization (SEO)
Pay-per-click advertising (PPC)

22. SERPs – Search Engine Results Page
Paid / Sponsored Ads
Connect With Searchers That Are Looking For What You Sell. Pay Only When They Click On Your Ad And Go To Your Website. Get on The 1st Page Of Google Immediately
Organic Natural Results Website must be deemed important In Google’ Eyes Relevant, Authoritative, Popular. May Get To 1st Page But Google Decides

23. What is SEO?
SEO is the process of editing a web site’s content and code in order to improve visibility within one or more search engines. This is commonly referred to as on-site optimization.
SEO also involves cultivating link popularity; a key factor in achieving organic rankings in Google and other search engines. This is commonly referred to as off-site optimization.

24. Search Engines Look For 3 Things:
Relevancy: Is their rich, relevant content on your web pages and does the content on your web page inform and deliver value to the searcher. Content Is King!
Popularity: High number of natural-occurring inbound links.
Authority: Quality links deliver authority because they are viewed as trusted sources of content by Google. Internet Yellow Pages sites like BarbadosYP.com, JamaicaYP.com, etc.
To date, the focus of this principle has been aimed squarely at your own web site - So, we optimize a site and beg borrow and steal for links to get it ranked
These principles still very much apply, but the advent of social has changed the techniques and the focus
Let’s briefly look at how it works

Are there ways you can get involved in the community that would lead to reporters writing a story about you?
Local newspapers and news sites are always on the lookout for local content.
Find links to your competitors  Use Yahoo Site Explorer

30. PPC: The Importance of Quality Score
Nowadays it depends both on how much you are willing to pay and on your Quality Score.
Your Quality Score varies for every keyword you bid on and is based on the following:
The click through rate of that keyword
The relevancy of your ad text to the keyword it appears for
The relevance of the landing page to the ad text
The relevance of the landing page to the keyword
The historical performance of your Adwords campaigns
How your Adwords campaign is structured

31. How do Ads Rank? Why You Should Care about Quality Score?
Okay so we have created our account, our campaigns, our ad groups and our ads – no how do we get to the top?? Again for Google it is all about relevance. Google has applied relevance to its sponsored listings as well. Now adword campaigns have a quality score. Your quality score is based on how well the ad is written, how relevant and specific the landing page is. When searcher types in the keyword that you choose to advertise on, it will show your ad in a higher position and at a lower cost per click (CPC)
- Google
