It is possible that you didn’t notice that your search traffic to your website has been diminishing lately. If you think about it for a little while, you may see that your search traffic numbers are not what they used to be and it is an excellent idea for you to do something about that before it gets any worse.
Pay Per Click (PPC) marketing is a paid form of search engine marketing. PPC specifically refers to a model where you only pay based on actual clicks on your advertisement, directing the potential customer to your website.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is an important part of almost all online business plans. With the majority of Internet users going to search engines to find what they are looking for and more and more users searching for local business providers, if you aren’t ranking well organically, you are missing out on a lot of potential traffic.
Too much reliance on Google’s organic traffic plus a hit by an algorithm update like Penguin, and your business can go south from one day to another. Sound too dramatic?
One of the tenets of successful marketing is understanding and appealing to your customer. Knowing what they want and how to provide it can be the difference between staying ahead of the game and falling behind. Web analytics tools can be extremely powerful when it comes to increasing this understanding.
