PR9.NET December 10, 2004 - To most marketers, the internet advertising is to have control over your position, keywords, listing copy and visitors landing pages while the optimization requires designing a web site that can be easily crawled, indexed and well ranked by Yahoo, MSN, Google and the others. Here is a summary of the different types of SEM services. First and most popular is the Search engine advertising. This type of advertising includes the Pay-per-Click and contextual advertising. By paying your guaranteed a placement on the result pages of the search site and within its distribution network. The major players on this market are Google Adwords and Overture in North America and Espotting in Europe. The key factors of search engine advertising for a successful campaign are: an in-depht Keyword research to reach the target market and the bid price, it is not always worth bidding more than the competition. As usual creating an ad copy that is appealing for your prospects will be a plus. The second type of advertising is the famous paid submission to directories. This marketing program implies that the website owners pay for a human based review of their sites. Remember that the inclusion is not always guaranteed, you could pay your submission to Yahoo! directory but if the editor in charge of your industry believes that your site does not carry much value for the internet user it won't be included, no refund. To have your website included in the major internet directories at least be sure to select the apropriate category, too many submissions are rejected because the submitter believes that paying for the service, the directory editors will find out where to include the site: no way.
