There are many different methods of marketing your business website, on-line shop or e-commerce website, but for many business owners there seems to be a bit of confusion between what is considered generic back link building and what is a true social marketing campaign, and more to the point what is the aim of each marketing strategy?

Different SEO and web marketing companies will of course employ different methodologies to promote a site and more often than not you get what you pay for so to speak. Equally there is bound to be a crossover in campaign strategies the debate of which could go on for months, but the purpose of this article is to highlight the key differences and aims of each type of campaign not what any single campaign should contain.

Generic Search Engine Marketing

Typically the aim of a generic search engine marketing campaign (SEM) is to develop relevant and targeted anchor text back links to specific pages on your website to increase your sites link profile and authority in the eyes of the search engines.

This of course is all aimed at improving your website ranking and to ensure your website becomes “known” in the search engines for the particular key phrases you are most interested in ranking for.

Low level or cheap link building services often include article marketing, content distribution and directory submissions, although most professional Seo practioners will probably dismiss directory submissions as the quality of these links is generally very poor at best and sometimes dubious also.

Low level or cheap link building services can also take advantage of what have become known as social websites; typically these are in the form of blogs and other web 2.0 properties and even low level social bookmarking sites. Forum posting just for the sake of links would also fall under this category.  Read more...

Small business marketing strategies are a breed of their own, and not something that can be easily or effectively spun off of the marketing plans of huge, multi-national corporations.  The plans for smaller businesses, and especially home based ventures, are relatively unique to this business type.  A correct small business marketing plan sets the tone for future success by tailoring the efforts to the specific nuances of small business.  

Small Business Has Specific Needs

Even some of the most talented marketing geniuses with large companies could be extremely ill equipped to create a successful marketing plan for a smaller, home-based business.  The two are dramatically different, and in most cases a smaller business is dealing with personnel, budgetary, and other constraints that are not usually even a consideration with larger organizations.

However, this does not mean that small business marketing is relegated to unsuccessful measures!  Marketing a home based venture simply requires a different mind set, but it can be remarkably successful, creative and fulfilling.  Growing a small business with these strategies builds an understanding of the business model, in and of itself.

Make The Most Of Technology With Small Business Marketing

The task of marketing a small enterprise on the cheap is simplified dramatically with the advances in computer and Internet technologies.  Any savvy entrepreneur will want to implement technology with their marketing.  This is in part due to the fact that the Internet allows for unprecedented access to clients, as well as the ability to target a message to specific markets like never before.

Even better, it allows for these things to happen on a smaller budget than most would imagine!  This demonstrates that, in addition to the managerial and logistical benefits, computers can serve remarkably in a variety of marketing capacities.  Aside from the high tech considerations, old-school marketing ploys such as mailers and other similar items can be created for incredibly low prices with the computer, as well.
