All the benefits of search engine marketing stem from one key point: you are in front of the customer just as the idea enters their head...
Search engine optimisation (SEO), a subset of search engine marketing, is the process of improving the volume and quality
of traffic to a Website from search engines via 'natural'
('organic' or 'algorithmic') search results.
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is one of the most cost effective forms of online marketing.
Natural search results, also known as organic search results, differ from paid search. Natural results are ranked according to how worthwhile/relevant the search engines find their content.
A recent Forrester Research report shows that at least 81% of Internet consumers are finding products via search engines. A recent StatMarket.com study revealed that, due to a lack of optimisation for maximum search engine visibility, only 7% of
all Websites are on the search engines respective radars. So a large number of companies attempting to sell online are
missing an important trick.
