CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Digital Marketing (also Online Marketing, Internet Marketing or Web Marketing) is a collective
name for marketing activity carried out online, as opposed to traditional marketing through print
media, live promotions, T.V and radio advertisement.

Digital Marketing is promotion of products or brands via one or more forms of electronic media.
For example, advertising mediums that might be used as part of the digital marketing strategy of
a business could include promotional efforts made via the Internet, social media, mobile
phones and electronic billboards, as well as via digital and television and radio channels.

The rapid growth of Digital Marketing Industry is a direct consequence of the global
phenomenon that is the Internet, and effectiveness of Digital Marketing channels in generating
revenue and awareness. Compared to traditional methods of advertising, Digital Marketing
offers rather realistic costs (particularly important for small- and medium-size businesses and
start-ups), for accurate targeting and excellent reporting.

The three important categories involved in Digital Marketing are:

 Search Engine Optimization (SEO)


 Social Media Optimization (SMO)
 Social Media Marketing (SMM)

Search Engine Optimization (SEO):

Whenever we enter a query in a search engine and hit 'enter' we get a list of web results that
contain that query term. Users normally tend to visit websites that are at the top of the list as they
perceive those to be more relevant to the query. If we have ever wondered why some of these
websites rank better than the others then we must know that it is because of a powerful web
marketing technique called Search Engine Optimization (SEO).

Search Engine Optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a website on organic
("natural" or un-paid) search engine result pages (SERPs), by incorporating search engine
friendly elements into a website. A successful search engine optimization campaign will have, as
part of the improvements, carefully select, relevant, keywords which the on-page optimization
will be designed to make prominent for search engine algorithms.
Search engine optimization is broken down into two basic areas: on-page, and off-page
optimization. On-page optimization refers to website elements which comprise a web page, such
as HTML code, textual content, and images. Off-page optimization refers, to predominantly, to
back links (links pointing to the site which is being optimized, from other relevant websites).

The main aim of SEO is:

 Quality of traffic. We can attract all the visitors in the world, but if they're coming to our
site because Google tells them we're a resource for Apple computers when really we're a
farmer selling apples, that is not quality traffic. Instead we want to attract visitors who are
genuinely interested in products that we offer.
 Quantity of traffic. Once we have the right people clicking through from those search
engine results pages (SERPs), more traffic is better.
 Organic results. Ads make up a significant portion of many SERPs. Organic traffic is any
traffic that we don't have to pay for.

Social Media Optimization (SMO):

Social media optimization (SMO) is the use of a number of social media outlets and
communities to generate publicity to increase the awareness of a product, brand or event.
Social Media Optimization (SMO) is the method of social activity that attract visitors to a
website through an elevated search rank. It proves there is a science to social media just like
Search Engine Optimization (SEO), the process of maximizing visitors to a web site by
achieving a top rank on search engines around specific keywords.
But there is a fundamental difference. SEO is based on keywords; SMO on contents (words,
videos, images). When integrated, they are a brand’s most powerful combination for raising
visibility and generating business on the web.
Five important rules that helps us to bring traffic to our website is mentioned as follows.
 Increase our link ability
 Make tagging and bookmarking easy
 Reward inbound links
 Help our content travel
 Encourage the mash up
Social Media Marketing:
Social Media Marketing is the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social
media sites. Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that
attracts attention and encourages readers to share it across their social networks.
Social media marketing, or SMM, is a form of internet marketing that implements various
social media networks in order to achieve marketing communication and branding goals. Social
media marketing primarily covers activities involving social sharing of content, videos, and
images for marketing purposes, as well as paid social media advertising. Using social media for
marketing can enable small business looking to further their reach to more customers. Your
customers are interacting with brands through social media, therefore, having a strong social
media marketing plan and presence on the web is the key to tap into their interest. If
implemented correctly, marketing with social media can bring remarkable success to your
business.

Social media marketing can help with a number of goals, such as:
 Increasing website traffic
 Building conversions
 Raising brand awareness
 Creating a brand identity and positive brand association
 Improving communication and interaction with key audiences

The main aim of my project is to bring top ranks for my Website in an organic way using Search
Engine Optimization.

Search Engines:

Search Engines are the market makers of the Internet. They connect consumers with providers at
the very moment of consumer interest and enable all of us to find exactly what we want, when
we want it. They bring great efficiency to the Internet and our lives and shall exist as long as the
network of servers and computers we call the web is around.
The Positioning is very important for search engines. The Four P’s of Marketing is an absolutely
critical component of the marketing mix. The first purpose of search engine optimization is to be
posted well in the place what the customer actually expects or by satisfying them .The second
purpose is to be positioned well than our competitor’s website. The probability should be more
on Individuals Clicking our Site link and bring a top position to our site.

First and foremost Search Engines are not Humans. Search Engines are text driven. Search
Engines crawls the Web, they look at the particular site items (mainly the text) to get an idea
what the site is all about? Search Engines performs several activities in order to deliver efficient
search results like Crawling, Indexing, Processing, Checking relevancy and Retrieving.

First, search engines crawl the Web to see what is there. This task is performed by e piece of
software, called a crawler or a spider (or Google bot, as is the case with Google). Spiders follow
links from one page to another and index everything they find on their way. Having in mind the
number of pages on the Web (over 20 billion), it is impossible for a spider to visit a site daily just
to see if a new page has appeared or if an existing page has been modified.

Sometimes crawlers will not visit our site for a month or two, so during this time our SEO efforts
will not be rewarded. What we can do is to check what a crawler sees from our site. Crawlers
are not humans and they do not see images, Flash movies, JavaScript, frames, password-
protected pages and directories, so if we have tons of these on our site, it would be a better run
for the Spider Simulator to see if these goodies are viewable by the spider. If they are not
viewable, they will not be spidered, not indexed, not processed, etc. They won’t exist for search
engines.

Google:

Most Outstanding Search Engine by Search Engine Watch readers, Google has a well-deserved
reputation as the top choice for those searching the web. The crawler-based service provides both
comprehensive coverage of the web along with great relevancy. It's highly recommended as a
first stop in your hunt for whatever we are looking for.
Google provides the option to find more web pages on the top of the search box on the Google
home page, we can easily seek out images from across the web, discussions that are taking place
on Usenet newsgroups, locate news information or perform product searching.

Using the More link provides access to human-compiled information from the Open Directory,
catalog searching and other services. Google is also known for the wide range of features it
offers, such as cached links that let us “restrict" dead pages or see older versions of recently
changed ones. It offers excellent spell checking, easy access to dictionary definitions, integration
of stock quotes, street maps, telephone numbers and more.

Google's help page is an entire rundown on some of these features. The Google Toolbar has also
won a popular following for the easy access that it provides to Google and its features directly
from the Internet Explorer browser. In addition to Google's unpaid editorial results, the company
also operates its own advertising programs.

The cost-per-click Ad Words program places ads on Google as well as some of Google's
partners. Similarly, Google is also a provider of unpaid editorial results to some other search
engines. For a list of major partnerships, see the Search Providers Chart. Google was originally a
Stanford University project by students Larry Page and Sergey Brin called Back Rub. By 1998,
the name had been changed to Google, and the project jumped off campus and became the
private company Google. It remains privately held today. Getting Listed: Read the Submitting to
Google section of Search Engine Watch's Essentials Of Search Engine Submission guide for
more about being included in Google's editorial results and the Google Ad Words section for
more about its paid listings programs.

Search Engine Watch members have access to the How Google Works section of the web site,
which provides in-depth coverage of the editorial and paid listings processes at Google.

Meta Tags Optimization:

A site’s Meta description should contain a brief description of our website focusing on the areas
and services that our business is specialized in. This small piece of text can be considered as a
selling snippet, if a searcher finds it appealing he/she is likely to click and go inside our page to
find out more information. But if our Meta Description is too generic and isn’t written too well
then there is a chance that our site will simply be ignored.

 The beginning of the description meta tag for our homepage, which gives a brief
overview of the site's offerings
 Any user who performs the query our homepage appears as a result, with part of its
description Meta tag used as the snippet.
 Any user who performs the query, one of our deeper pages with its unique description
Meta tag used as the snippet, appears as a result.

SEO tips and techniques for Powerful Search Engine Optimization:


1. Write unique content
Unique content is important. We need to provide content that has different information
than what is on other sites and other Web pages.
2. Add new content all the time
Sites that have new content added on a regular basis are seen as more reliable than sites
that rarely do. This also helps you to increase the amount of relevant content on our site,
which also improves our rankings.
3. Create a great keyword phrase
The first thing we should do when working on search engine optimization is find a
specific keyword phrase for that page we shouldn't try to optimize our entire site to one
keyword phrase, instead we can focus on writing pages for specific keywords and
phrases.
4. Choose a phrase that is popular, but not too popular (HIGH PRIORITY)
When trying to decide on a keyword phrase, we must find one that is popular but not
extremely popular. This may seem counter-intuitive, but the reality is that extremely
popular keywords are very desirable and so very competitive. It’s better to try to optimize
for keywords that we can rank higher. We will get more page views from a less popular
keyword when we are on the first or second page of the search engines, than from a
popular keyword that we only make it to page 50 of search engines.
5. Write an accessible site (HIGH PRIORITY)
Accessible HTML is accessible to both search engine spiders and screen readers. The
more accessible we make our pages, the easier it will be for search engines to read and
rank our pages.
6. Use the keyword phrase in our title tag (HIGH PRIORITY)
The title tag is one of the most important tags on our Web page. And placing our
keyword phrase in the title tag, preferably at the beginning, is very important to get that
phrase into the search engines and that puts our keyword phrase as the link in the search
engine index.
7. Getting a domain with a keyword phrase
Putting our keyword phrase in our domain name is a way to optimize for that phrase.
8. Use the keyword phrase in our URL (HIGH PRIORITY)
Even if we can't get our keywords into our domain name, we can put them into our
URLs. Search engines read the URLs and assign value to the text they find there.
Keyword density should be between 3 and 7% for your primary keyword phrase and 1-
2% for any secondary keywords or keyword phrase.
9. Use our keyword phrase in anchor text of links
Link text is another great place to put our keyword phrase. Links stand out on most Web
pages, and are given higher priority than surrounding text.
10. Ask for links to our page
A great way to get inbound links is to simply ask for them. But remember that excessive
cross-linking can be viewed as spam, so be careful about trading links or otherwise
buying links on external sites.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of developing, customizing or retooling a


website so that it achieves a sustained high ranking on Search Engine Results Pages (SERP) for
important keywords or key phrases. Search Engine Optimization uses a combination of
techniques, tools, and technical know-how to get results.

Thus, Search Engine Submission, Link Popularity Building, Keyword Research Analysis, Search
Engine Crawler Friendliness Analysis, Title& Meta Tags Optimization, Anchor Text
Optimization and Search Engine Copywriting are just some of the methods utilized to improve a
website's search engine placement. These Search Engine Optimization (SEO) methods leverage
knowledge gained from a scientific understanding of the inner workings of search engines and a
thorough analysis of trends in the constantly evolving field of Search Engine Optimization
(SEO).

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) offers an affordable entry point for marketing our website
and an effective way to promote your business online. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) makes
for a long-term solution to our access to sustained free traffic and a source of building brand
name and company reputation.
Search engines generate nearly 90% of Internet traffic and are responsible for 55% of e-
commerce transactions. Search Engine Promotion has shown to deliver the highest ROI,
compared to any other type of marketing, both online and offline. Search engines bring
motivated buyers to us and hence contribute to i ncreased sales conversions.
