Also not all webpages were created equal, and linking to some webpages can hurt you more than it helps. Effects can be seen almost immediately and has an added benefit of helping your site rank well with the search engines.
- Search Engine Optimization - Getting higher on the search engines provides long lasting, free advertising for your site. Search engine optimization is a science unto itself and takes time to apply. The time before the results of this type of marketing are seen varies greatly depending upon a number of factors. Effects of search engine optimization take on average of 2-3 months before obvious results are observable.
- Search Engine Submission - Some younger websites may not be listed in the search engines at all, and getting listed in some of the main search engines and directory listing services is a good first step to getting your webpage noticed. This usually needs to be combined with a search engine optimization, or other internet marketing strategy in order to provide any tangible benefits.
- Banner Advertising - A visually appealing advertising banner can result in much traffic to your site but is one of your company's more expensive advertising venues. Effects can be seen immediately but have little to no lasting effects. You see the benefits for as long as you are willing to pump the money into it. This type of internet marketing does have it's place, and should be combined with others internet marketing methods in order to provide more than a temporary increase in web traffic.
