Digital Marketing has opened horizons for marketers.  It has made it easy for businesses to include online customers as part of their target audience.  As we have stepped into the Internet world, marketing has opened doors for new fields and Digital Marketing is one of these.

Seeing its advantages, it is hard to ignore its importance.  You must be aware of some of the following Digital Marketing strategies, making sure you include most of these if not all, as your business strategies to cope with the ever increasing competition and stay ahead of the game.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

Competent SEO structures your individual web pages as well as the website so that they are easily discovered, analyzed, and indexed by the various search engines.  Competent SEO knows the changes in search rules and helps your website stay at top of the various search result pages by anticipating logical algorithms such as most used keywords and other techniques.  It lets web crawlers work at the back end and doing their job in the most accurate and automated form. 

Advanced Link Building

This is another Digital Marketing strategy which involves getting your content rich with links and is also known as social bookmarking.  This requires you to know your audience in order to aware of the site they visit most frequently.  Avoid using hidden links and make sure visitors find your links useful.

Online Copywriting

This form of Digital Marketing strategy is the content of your site and your blog.  You must make sure your website’s content is not copied and is 100% authentic.  It will make your website unique which can be the reason for your improved website traffic. 

Social Media Marketing

Social Media Marketing makes the biggest part of the Digital Marketing strategies.  It includes the entire Social Media networks such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, MySpace, and other such forums.  Hence, if you want your business to stay ahead of the competitors you will have to keep your audience interacting at such platforms.  There are professional consultants who are ready to help you if you are unaware how or don’t have time to use Social Media Marketing efficiently.  In fact, competent consultants probably will save you time and money.  

Email Marketing

This is another Digital Marketing strategy that businesses have been following.  It includes promoting your products and services by sending informational mails to a list of subscribers.  Some very advanced systems, such as WSI Digital Marketing Pro, can make sure that your email works efficiently and according to the regulations.

Google AdWords

Google AdWords is a service that is used to create and run ads to promote your business.  These ads run along with search engines and you are only required to pay when people click on these ads. 

Generic Solution

By taking full advantage of Search Engine and Social Media Optimization you are able to reinforce your website or brand presence on popular search engines without paying extra for it. Here are some steps you can take to optimize your website organically:

• Content Marketing. A resource website should have articles related to the product or service that you are offering. Websites that contain 100 pages of content or more are likely to achieve higher rankings in search engines and increase your website’s ability to be found for long-tail keyword searches.
• Create Incoming Links. Link building and link popularity is important for all websites. Link popularity refers to the amount of text links that lead to your website from other sites and is the single most important factor that a search engine algorithm considers when ranking a web page.

Effective link building is achieved by blogging on a regular basis, submitting your websites to online classifieds/directories and by taking advantage of the many social media platforms that are available – Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc.

Combine SEO with SMO. Brand your name with social media marketing. Websites like Facebook, YouTube, MySpace and Twitter can be leveraged effectively to grow your business. By spreading your content over social media channels your website will gain many more search engine positions.

Surprise. I have found another secret use.  Okay, it is not secret, but it is a good surprise.  As much as I am in the business of getting clients found by the search engines, I have not considered going outside of Google, Yahoo, and now Bing.

Advanced Link Manager Assistant lists 110 search engines.  Most of the reason for this has to do with geography and language.  But, in fact, they do have them all and they update them every day. 

Why is this interesting?  I can see which search engines in the world are indexing which pages of any website.  It either gives great satisfaction showing many indexing each page or great frustration if pages are not indexed.

I have not really been fair to Advanced Link Manager Assistant since I have not covered all the functions.  But then I have other things to do while Advanced Link Manager Assistant and Advanced Web Ranking let me do it.

Another surprise...it has a webcrawler function.  As they describe it, "Website Crawler lets you crawl an entire website or pages until reaching a specific level and provides helpful information about each crawled page.

"The results gathered following the crawl can be exported as Google Sitemap(XML) or Yahoo Sitemap(TXT).

"For each crawled page, Website Crawler provides it's page rank, meta information (title, description, robots, keywords, author), the number of outbound and onsite links, HTTP response and the size of the respective page.

"Website Crawler can help you not only crawl your website and export the results as a sitemap for the main search engines, but also analyze each crawled URL and see if the page meets your optimization requirements. In this way your optimization and marketing efforts will have a positive impact for your website rankings."

For someone in our business, this type of control is essential.  Being able to do it with such ease is a dream.  But one drawback is that this feature is only available in the Enterprise version.

As a disclaimer, I should tell you that the company has offered the software to me for review.  I have not had time to use the software over any longer period of time, so I may have missed something.

Why?  Let me list the reasons…some of the reasons.  There are just too many to list them all.  But here we go just naming the menu headings:
•    View My Links
•    Analyze Links Evolution
•    Analyze Links Text
•    Compare Link Popularity
•    View Search Engine Statistics
•    Find Link Partners
•    Add Referrers
•    Send Link Exchange Requests
•    Generate Link Pages
•    Manage Link Page Layouts

And that is only half of the menu!

Link building is a process…a tedious process.  But it is the most important process you can do for your website, or equal to.  (The other important process I have talked about in other postings.) 

This program is built with that understanding.  This is not some easy-way-out program.  It finds and builds links for your business website in the manner that Google’s guidelines and spider look for.  But the program organizes your work and saves an incredible amount of time because it guides you in a proper fashion.

It then reports to you and helps you schedule your tasks.

But there is more.  I will tell you what I found most handy.  See you tomorrow.
