Internet Marketing Strategy Blog By Roy Sencio

Search engine advertising or pay per click has its advantages; it is probably the fastest way to get traffic to your site and traffic that is already both targeted and ready to buy or ready to hear your offer or read your site’s content. However if not done properly, pay per click advertising can be quite expensive.

But what is Pay Per Click Advertising?

PPC advertising is a method of advertising on search engines where web site owners can display their ads on search engine results pages for searched keywords that they pay for. Pay per click advertising on search engines allows you to choose keywords you would like your site to appear for when a search is performed. A very important point to keep in mind with Pay per Click (PPC) is that it involves a lot of testing and can be expensive because of this need for constant testing.

I am sure that we all agree that advertising plays an important role in the success of a business, product or service; and on the internet… a website. Since we know that the most important element of your site is content, we shall then take a look at advertising your site through non PPC methods, that revolve around your content.

Well promoted content which is both original and sticky, allows you to drive traffic to your website for many years to come.

Let us look at these alternatives to pay per click advertising. These are 6 powerful strategies that really work.

Write an Ebook

Writing an ebook is not as difficult as most people think. When writing an ebook just keep in mind the following guides:
- people search the internet for information about something, and mostly need an answer or a solution, your ebook should be written in a manner that it presents the answer to their query or the solution to their problem
- write about something you have personal knowledge about, everybody knows about something, all it
takes is for you to share what you know, and what you did that might be helpful to the reader of the ebook
- it is best to start with what you are familiar with, it could be something you know much about like your hobby,your profession, your affiliation, etc.

Write an Article

Articles are very effective means of promotion; they not only brand you as an expert but also create quality content for your site that the search engines would love to spider. The same writing guides apply, however articles are much shorter with a good average between 400 to 600 words per article. You can submit your articles to articles directories who post your articles with a backlink to your site; plus if someone uses your content on their own websites, you get another backlink to your site. Getting the most number of backlinks pointing to your site is a very effective strategy to increase traffic and search engine ranking.

Leverage on Blogs/RSS

Blogging is another way to create content for your website, and by using RSS, you can easily distribute your content. Blogging is the current trend being used by even corporate websites to boost their traffic. Blogging still does involve writing. One interesting feature especially for Wordpress bloggers is the post timestamp which allows you to upload all your posts and schedule their publication at specific dates and times of the day.

Use Press Releases

Press releases are news releases that are about your site or business. Press releases are also an excellent way to get high rankings for your site because you create rich content and submit them to press release directories.

Search Engine Optimization

Search Engine Optimization or SEO has one goal; to get you ranked number one for the keyword/s you wish to rank for on the search engine results page. Optimizing your site for the search engines involves creating keyword rich content, exchanging links with other sites, submitting your site to directories, that creates back links pointing to your site.

Write and Give Away Free Ebooks Or Reports

By writing and giving away free Ebooks and reports, you give visitors an incentive to visit your website.

These six strategies have been used by Internet marketers to achieve high returns for their products or services presented, and are considerably cheaper than pay per click advertising. Most of them involve some writing on your part, and if you are unable to write, you can always hire a freelancer or have the job outsourced. The best part of this alternative to PPC advertising is that at the end of the day you have both, new content for your site and a tool to advertise your site with.
