Rocketfish: Search Engine Marketing

Search Engine Marketing (SEM) is the practice of generating revenue from the World Wide Web. It is about achieving the best possible coverage for your website on the major search engines using a series of methods and techniques including SEO, web design and email marketing.

In order to generate revenue you must first create a website that is both appealing to your audience and importantly the search engines. To do this you need a website that looks aesthetically pleasing to your visitors but that is built using SEO friendly web design techniques. You need a website that contains keyword rich content but that doesn't give away to much to your readers or that looks unnatural to the search engines.

You need a website is easily accessible and can be seen by a wide audience 24 hours a day. It needs to be a website that gets people talking and sharing your ideas, a website that is exposed using traditional online advertising such as banners, PPC, affiliate marketing and SEO or more recent techniques such as social media advertising and blogging.

Once you have a website that is working for you and an online marketing strategy that is giving you good positions and high volumes of relevant traffic you now need a system in place to help you manage this traffic, to build client databases and improve client retention. This system will enable you to segment and analyse your visitors and respond to their queries and comments using their chosen method of communication.
