Sometimes generating traffic to your website may be a secondary goal. Event promotion or political ads are two examples where awareness could be the primary goal. In those cases display or banner ads are the more effective alternative. In those cases the top and the top right corner (below the Visit AllAlaskans.Com link) of all the search results pages are available on a weekly or monthly basis. Contact us with your desired location and when you would like your ad to run to receive a price quote and availability.
Clearly search engine optimization (SEO) is an important part of generating leads from the Internet, however it can't completely replace advertising. It's very difficult when you are trying to set yourself apart from the millions of potential sites competing for the first twenty results for a key word or phrase.
I am and have been a proponent of reciprocal linking with other websites for a long time (Strategic Linking for Success 1998) as a cost effective way to reach your desired audience and increase a web sites search engine ranking. However it's become increasingly difficult to find link partners that have sufficient traffic to make linking with them valuable. In addition to that, Google.com has taken steps to lessen the impact of paid for links.
| This confusion lies in the common belief that there are two ways for optimizing the link-based popularity of your website: Either the meritocratic and long-term option of developing natural links or the risky and short-term option of non-earned backlinks via link spamming tactics such as buying links. We've always taken a clear stance with respect to manipulating the PageRank algorithm in our Quality Guidelines. Despite these policies, the strategy of participating in link schemes might have previously paid off. But more recently, Google has tremendously refined its link-weighting algorithms. We have more people working on Google's link-weighting for quality control and to correct issues we find. So nowadays, undermining the PageRank algorithm is likely to result in the loss of the ability of link-selling sites to pass on reputation via links to other sites |
So the challenge to small businesses is to invest their money in advertising that:
- Targets the desired audience.
- Is cost effective.
- Provides measurable results.
