Internet Marketing Solutions: Two You Take For Granted

Internet marketing solutions can get boring. You've already gone through the list: keywords, writing content, meta data, link recruitment, etc.

All the Internet marketing solutions are old hat, right?


Actually, Internet marketing solutions aren't likely to get boring any time soon, especially when you decide to dig a little deeper and take note of the benefits (or the issues) you weren't aware of.

Submitting to Search Engine Directories: Is this one of the Internet marketing solutions that you take for granted?

Almost everybody with a website knows you should submit your site's URL to the major search engines. It's one of the first Internet marketing solutions and one of the easiest. However, many website owners aren't aware (who can blame them?) of the benefits that a search engine directory submission can provide for quality websites.

These following list includes many of the benefits that a DIY business professional can take advantage of depending on the search engine(s) that she submits her URL to:

Human Assistance and Expertise—You might think a search engine is the “cream of the crop” when it comes to Web organization but a human directory editor is far more likely to take the time to place your website in a category that makes sense.
Keyword Assistance—A search engine directory can help you get the right information (and sometimes more information) when you are searching for keywords that definitely have more than one meaning. For instance, if you are searching for a band called “Soap” you could possibly find results for the band in a search engine directory under bands, music, entertainment, etc. and access information regarding people who play instruments---not the sudsy stuff!
Idea Generator—Not sure what you want to search for but think you know a general category where you could find it. Use a search engine directory!
An Increased Opportunity for Higher Search Engine Rankings—enough said!
“Sorting” Capabilities—Some search engine directories allow you to search by popularity, newness or by alphabetical organization.

It's obvious that a very simple member of the Internet marketing solutions family may result in more benefits than many business professionals were aware of.

A Competitive Analysis: Is this one of the Internet marketing solutions that you are not sure how to conduct?

Almost everybody knows that a competitive analysis should be conducted as an essential part of the Internet marketing solutions to-do list. However, do most DIY business professionals remember to use the simple search operators that many search engines provide?

It's doubtful.

For instance, with the Google operators like intitle: and allintitle: you can begin to grasp how difficult (or simple) it will be to get your website content appearing in the top 10 results for a given keyword or keyword phrase. If you own a flower shop for instance and you specialize in yellow and peach colored roses you could type the following in a Google search box:

intitle: yellow roses (to view pages with the title “Yellow” and with page content that includes the word roses)
allintitle: yellow roses (to view pages with the title “Yellow roses”)
intitle: peach roses (to view pages with the title “Peach” and with page content that includes the word roses)
allintitle: peach roses (to view pages with the title “Peach roses”)

You will notice that 1) all of the results (for yellow roses) will lead to content that is mostly commercial but still combines content and media information, which means that lots of other companies who sell yellow roses are going to need to invest in other less congested online areas such as on shopping directories, local shopping directories or PPC ads. In the meantime, if a business professional has the time and/or the money to start working towards better natural results that's beneficial too!Make sure to also check out the backlinks to the top ranking websites with the link: operator!

There are many ways to take advantage of Internet marketing solutions. It's simply time to dig deeper.
