Online Promotion - Pure Organic Marketing and Branding
Today, you must have a website. But having a great website is not good enough if it is not getting natural visitors from search engines like Google?
Why your website is not getting visitors?
Imagine a situation that you have started a new factory in a beautiful island where you are producing awesome products. You have also designed a mind-blowing storefront at the factory entrance to sell those products. Is it enough? Does your target market even know what you are producing?
The same thing happens when you start a website. A website is like opening a shop in an island. You must reach out to the target market that is actually looking for the product or solution at the sea shore. And that is why online website promotion is important.
What is online promotion and how to go about it?
In real world you have a wholesale market where the targeted buyer is actually looking for similar products. All you need to do is to deliver your products to the wholesale market. Is there any wholesale market in the web? Yes. They are called search engines: Google, Yahoo, MSN etc.
You must be wondering why I am calling them wholesalers.
Most of the internet users go to one of these search engines to search for what they need (information, product or service). Once they search for a keyword (search term like organic marketing India), the search engine shows them listing of thousands of websites. The order of websites being displayed depends on the value assigned to them by that specific search engine. On an average the website ranking in number one position for a keyword gets up to 70 to 75% of the total visitors. The rest of 25 to 30% is divided among the next 3 to 4 websites. The search engines have become so smart over the years that people hardly need to go beyond top 5 websites for what he or she is looking for.
How do search engines determine organic ranking of a website on a specific topic (keyword)?
Search engines have their own algorithm to automatically determine ranking of a website for a specific keyword. There is no manual intervention in this process. Some of the major parameters that determine organic or natural ranking of a website are site architecture, content, links or recommendations from other similar websites etc.
So, how to start organic marketing or online promotion?
The basic idea behind organic marketing is simple: Identify the targeted keywords > Start ranking for these keywords > Start getting targeted visitors > convert the visitors into buyers > count your profit.
