Internet marketing and advertising get through a wider scope of clientele. This is its unique language. It brings forth an almost-immediate reaction from the customer just as it provides immediate reply from the business owners despite of time and distance. It takes a minimal expense for the dissemination of this information. This medium caters to a global audience.

Internet marketing is not a single-faced reality.  It is an interconnected facet of creativity and technicality. It involves the net, strategy, progress, advertising, and commerce.

Internet marketing does not commence and end in putting up a website. It does not even entail search engine optimization as the be-all and end-all of it.

Effective internet marketing and advertising requires an all-embracing team of business-owners, marketing experts and consumers wrapped in a maze of programs and designs.

One of the crucial facets in internet marketing and advertising is establishing a corporate identity. This is a language which speaks the uniqueness of a certain company. A name may tell all. However, it is not all of what a corporate identity is about. A corporate identity brings a business' own image which sets it apart from the million-headed monster which competes on the net space in a common market space. 

Establishing an image is very important. A business cannot go online faceless and nameless. Its subsistence can not even be guaranteed if it does not stand out among others. The corporate identity needs to be consistent and convey the image of the company to its clients.

            The logo is one characteristic of the corporate identity. The logo says a lot about a business. It is one's brand. The particular colors, shapes and images are the specific and special mark one carries in a market where there is over a million bidding for the same prominence. The subtlety of the corporate identity through the logo will speak aloud through its silent presence. This is a language in internet marketing which speaks the truth loudly in its silence.


There are multifarious languages available for internet marketing. Each language speaks a truth of its own.  However, this language is like the spoken language which may be understood or misinterpreted.

Beating the traffic on the web through search engine optimization is dealing with a labyrinth of algorithms set by the search engines.  Three of the more popular search enginesare Go ogle, Yahoo and Microsoft Live Search.  There are search eng ine optimization strategies available to garner high ranks. The vital services of SEO may include the following:
  • code writing
  • content writing (article composition and submission)
  • analysis of the traffic in the web
  • analysis of visitors' flow in the site
  • keyword optimization
  • directory enhancement

This article does not address search engine optimization as a site's bid to be visible on the net.

This article addresses another strategy in being visible and prominent in the net.  This is the so-called Social Media Optimization (SMO).

The term is attributed to Rohit Bhargava. He set basic rules in carrying out a good Social Media Optimization. To wit:

  • Increase linkability
  • Make tagging and bookmarking easy
  • Reward inbound links
  • Help content travel
  • Encourage the mashup
  • Get communities connected

Social media optimization is dealing with intricate set of procedures to create exposure. It is dealing with another maze of its own.   The social media are devices for the dissemination of information among human beings. It puts together technology, social interaction verbal and non-verbal images like videos, pictures, words, audio. This combination and the presentation are different with consideration to various perspectives among online communities and community sites sharing stories and experiences in the net.

Subscribing and sharing of RSS feeds, blogging, social bookmarking and employing photo slides and videos are some of the methodologies utilized in SMO.

In social media optimization, one does not deal with the abstract like algorithms. It deals mainly with what is concrete.  It deals with people having tastes and judgment which can be manipulated and predicted. However, social media optimization is not an easy task.    Establishing one's status and reputation in the net is not an easy game.

Link Building is Link Mining

Competition for gaining a higher PageRank (PR) in search engine results page (SERP) is getting harder and harder. Now, it takes only as quick as days or hours that ranking in the SERP changes. Therefore,link building (SEO's backbone) should be excessively and carefully done. The process such as reciprocal link campaigns is comparative to the act of mining in which a link builder is looking for precious websites as link partners. Link building and mining are both using the same principles which is looking and digging for a precious stuff. In the case of mining, it is precious metals or minerals while in link building, it is quality links.

Why digging for quality links? Basically, quality links are the ones that you can be used to improve your site's PR. We can compare them to food enhancers that make a certain dish more palatable. To determine a quality link, lots of things must be considered. Factors such as anchor text, semantic relevance and page relationship matters. According to SEOmoz Professional's Guide to Link Building, before deciding what website will be used as your links, they must be trusted and valuable. "The more trusted, valuable links your site receives, the more trusted and valuable your site (and the links you give) becomes."

We must also consider three fundamentals of a link: anchor text, link location and link intention. Anchor texts are the words used within the link. Usually, we encounter hyperlinked text such as Click Here, that when clicked, leads us to another website. That is the "traditional" and recently declared as not as effective as the one that is described by the SEOmoz Professional's Guide to Link Building--the ones that provide not just the link but also offer additional semantic relevance. More chances for your site that it will be indexed and later, be ranked since search engines are picky when it comes to words. So, anchor text itself, as advised, must carry semantic value to the site it is leading the internet users to. Link location or URL location is where a site's page structure your link is found (SEOmoz). It has two kinds, the shallow and deep links. Shallow links are the ones that lead to homepage, while the deep links are those that lead to a more specific page. It is said that is preferable to have deep links because the search engines are always considering the relevance of the page's content from the linked text. Lastly, the link intention must be in accordance with the need of the searcher. Your intention should serve as the link to give additional information on the topic that your site is linked to. Otherwise than that, such as to serve only as advertisement, then your PR is in danger.

One thing is clear here, everything must be relevant to each other, the content to anchor text to link and to all other elements within the website.

Just like mineral mining, a miner has to encounter large boulders and pieces of rocks and pebbles but he has to carefully examine every rock if they contain mineral which will be further process to extract only the pure. If the rock indeed contains mineral, then it means money is at hand. Relevance also plays a role in the act of mining as with link building. If you are working in a gold mine company, then it is out of your job to mine copper or silver beneath the earth.

Gaining visibility and direct traffic of the website being optimized (be it for the visibility in search engine or social networking sites) are the main goal of link building. Once your site gains traffic, you gain money--in which what business is all about--just like mining.
