There are many options to consider when a company chooses which marketing strategy to use when advertizing their website; PPC, Social Media, Banner Ads, and Link Building are all in the mix. Sound strategies use a combination of the aforementioned resources in varying degrees, yet a focused effort on improving natural search traffic is the most important form of optimization for a website.
Today’s link building is a very different process than what it used to be. In a post-penguin world, Search Engine Marketers (SEMs) cannot drop a healthy portion of their marketing budget on snatching up links from websites across the web and expect their websites to climb to the top of the Google Search Results. SEMs must be extremely careful with which sites they intentionally build relationships with. Even though links are at the core of the ranking algorithm, Google is showing a weighted preference for “fresh”, or current, material. There’s no way to get fresher links than social media. If you’ve already attempted gaining social links and your site still isn’t ranking, your site may be falling short on other core values that search providers are scrutinizing.

To many, social media marketing strategies begin and end with a few Facebook posts and Twitter updates, but in reality, there’s a whole area of untapped marketing potential to be had.

If your website’s optimization strategy includes a Pay-Per-Click campaign, chances are you already know what a landing page is. Also known as ‘lander’ or ‘lead capture’ pages, these are single web page destinations accessed by clicking on either a search result or an online advertisement appearing on a search engine results page (SERP). These pages generally display content that is sales driven; an extension of the SERPs ad or search result.
Once there was a self-explanatory TV show called ‘Bowling for Dollars.’ If your goals for your website’s optimization campaign run along the same lines -- increased conversions and a higher ROI -- then you’ll need to consider how every aspect of your website can be used to attract qualified site visitors.
