2. As part of your overall Internet marketing strategy, it is
important to devote resources to search engine marketing.
This component of your marketing mix has become
increasingly critical due to the importance that search
engines and directories play in how prospects access
information. Search engines have the advantage of driving
highly qualified traffic due to the self-selection process
initiated by the searcher in choosing their search query.

million people in the world have the habit to access
Internet. 86% of them tend to locate information via
search engines. In addition, research shows that most
people will only look at 2 to 3 pages of search results, so
your ranking among the results is becoming increasingly
important.

understand how search engines work, how they are
different from directories, and how to maximize their
effectiveness in making sure that your business gets as
much exposure as your budget allows.

mind, you could have difficulty in having your content
