Internet Marketing Services
So, you built
a web site and nobody came to visit. Ever wonder
why? The most likely reason for few or no visitors
to a web site is little or no Internet marketing.
Today, most people searching for small business
products and services start at one of the major
search engines, like Yahoo, Google or MSN. So,
for somebody to find your site, you need to
show up on the first few pages of their listings.
You know how it is; ever search for a product
with Google or Yahoo, then go directly to page
27? I don't think so. You go through the first
couple of pages, find what you need and move
on to spending more time on a few sites that
seems to fit your needs. Getting a high search
rating page (SERP) for your your site on a major
search engine in the top 100 sites requires
you to either (1) optimize your site for specific
words - which is accomplished via Search Engine
Optimization (SEO) or (2) pay to show up as
a top listing - which is is done by search Engine
Marketing (SEM).
What we mean by this is Search Engine Optimization
(SEO) and Search Engine Marketing (SEM). Hopefully
you have at least heard of these terms.

Engine Marketing (SEM)
This is also referred to as 'paid search'. Paid
search marketing refers to the text advertising
delivered with natural search results. Most
search engines display these ads in two locations:
just above the main search listings, and to
the right, alongside the scroll bar. These ads
(often called paid placements) can be purchased
as a supplement to SEO, or as a standalone campaign.
Gull Point offers a full range
of services to support your paid search requirements
Search engine marketing is the
ability for advertisers, ad agencies, marketing
firms and anyone that owns a web site and has
a search advertising budget to pay for sponsored
listings on a CPC (cost per click) or PPC (pay
per click) basis. Search engines like Overture
and Google AdWords are examples of search engine
marketing programs.
Search marketing can be a quick way to drive
targeted traffic to a web site but it's also
the most expensive way to get search engine
traffic. That's because you pay for every visitor
that comes to your site from the search engines.
Gull Point Partners offers a
full range of services to support your Search
Engine Marketing services (SEM) requirements.
