  2. Search Marketing (SEO/SEM)

    The rise of the e-commerce technology has prompted a spring in new industries in relation to this budding genre of business scenery right in the center of Web Design Industry in Naperville IL. Before you even have to consider such methods of marketing, a mammoth of history and effort was done so that you may experience what it is to have information at your fingertips.

    Search engines have been around for more than a decade now, being a little younger than the internet itself, it has garnered a host of attention from scientists, mathematician, undergraduate students and businessmen. With its worldwide proliferation and acceptance, search engines are essential to conduct and become a successful e-commerce business.

    Search Engine Marketing is indeed important as a e-commerce solution that can increase presence over the world of well-connected networks. What are some modes that such a marketing tool is channeled?

    1. Keyword Analysis

    This is the process by which each content in your website is indexed and analyzed to see how easily recognizable the words are. The more people who use such keywords on their search the more likely that your website content shows up at the results page. Such method is called Search Engine Optimization which has gained a great part of the marketing campaign for its practicality and ease.

    2. Website Saturation

    Many search engine companies proposed ways as to how your website can be shown on the forefront of a user’s search results. Websites are ranked as to how much keywords it contains and as to how relevant it is to the user’s intentions. The more presence a website has the higher the rank it gets at the search results which can add up to its website traffic. This user traffic then can be translated sales, customer knowledge and even word-of-mouth advertising.

    3. Clicks and Links

    As an overall marketing campaign, e-commerce businesses take advantage of pay-per-click and sponsored links maneuvers to add traffic and online accessibility. When a customer or an online visitor decides to click such links, this is a potential source of brand awareness and information which then could generate transactions.

  5. Bayani Challenge 2013 Experience

    A few weeks before the big event last March 23-27, I’ve decided to join the Bayani Challenge 2013 in Bohol. But for this year, I didn’t go there as a participant — I was with the service team.

    I was appointed Social Media Coordinator for the event at Antequera, Bohol, but because the network signal there wasn’t entirely reliable, I missed to post some [personal] updates, so I’ll just post them here through lots of pictures. ;)
