There are different web marketing styles you can employ. One of the most popular strategies is search engine optimization or SEO and this involves modifying a webpage's content and coding in order for it to rank highly on the search results page. Website optimization ties together several processes, and this include making use of articles that promote a particular company, product, or discuss a concept.

A site that is identified by many as a good source for fresh, well-written articles will get a high web traffic and consequently will be perceived as more reliable than their competitors. For an article to be relevant to a wide variety of search queries, it needs to include frequently searched keyword phrases. Website and blog owners in some instances get the services of a writer to create an article for them on a regular basis.

They also have the option to get free articles from various repositories on the Web. These free articles found in online repositories cover multiple subjects. Online advertising is another form of Internet marketing and as its name suggests it sends advertising message over the Internet. This type of online marketing can involve strategies such as using web banners, affiliate marketing, and e-mail advertising. Social media marketing on the other hand takes advantage of existing social networking sites in order to build brand awareness. Viral marketing is one of the promotional strategies employed by social media marketers, and it is inexpensive, and its efficacy lies on its high pass-along rate. The appeal of online advertising has to do with the "pay for performance" model it follows in most cases.

Since the merchant is only paying for leads or conversions, he or she is kept from unnecessarily incurring additional marketing expense. However, online advertising pales in comparison to SEO and social marketing efforts in terms of lead generation. Only 2 in 10 young adults become acquainted with a particular brand through online ads. In contrast, around 3 to 5 out of 10 young adults, learn about a vendor and its offerings via the other two channels.

This trend is also true for much older cohorts. The oft-mentioned drawback of SEO is that ROI is not realized as quickly, although when this happens, the website will enjoy a steady stream of visitors. Social media marketing, while second only to SEO in terms of generating leads, is said to have better conversion rates because the platform allows for a better brand experience and interaction. It would seem from these studies that SEO and social media marketing are more cost-effective in the long run.

Just the same, most Internet marketers rarely offer one strategy to their clients. Instead, they offer packages composed of several methods to ensure better results. By doing so, a company will gradually build an online presence and generate profits from social media and online ad campaigns, while waiting for the website to rank highly on the results page.
