Why is Internet Marketing better than SEO?

I see that most of the people are taking SEO very seriously. Even some company i talked into, they are looking for SEO specialist....

Have you ever wonder why you have a good ranking, yet, there are no sales or just a little ones?

Any SEO specialist care to explain? Any question to ask me?

 

because
Internet Marketing is equal to SEO + SEM

 

Marketing without SEO just won't get you sales...

 

What about SEO without marketing?

 

I will add some: marketing mix and ad placements too in there.
80 points for you seo.tejas!

 

But there are people who can use adwords + good landing page design and make a lot of sales.

 

SEO is a component of internet marketing

You can throw into the mix,

SEO
PPC
Advertising
Affiliate marketing
E-Mail marketing
Social networking

 

Agreed ... SEO is part of internet marketing

 

I think great marketing can eventually lead to great SEO (well at least the backlinks you get).

Topnotch marketing skills = more backlinks to your site = better search engine rankings. I can't really say anything about on-page optimization though...

 

I bold the they are thingy.... Just some, and with a good landing page right?

 

There you go.
Why most of the people always thinks that SEO is everything?

 

Indeed. Agreed.

 

SEO is low cost internet marketing. Adwords or advertising banner are higher cost per visitor.

 

It's because search engine traffic is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to selling a product.

They are looking for free stuff.

They are curiosity seekers.

They are browsing, window shopping.

They are bored, and click from one site to another.

On and on....

And, on top of that, you first have to be lucky enough to even land high.


If anybody tells you different, they are lying to you. "I make a lot of money...." Or: "I make a sale or two a week..." Heh. ... Typical.

Boards are filled with idiots, noobs who don't know any better, attentions whores, and ones trying to sell you somethng.

 

That is simply not true. There are so many other ways to make sales.

I do like SEO as it's easy... and you can get extra sales as a result. I got several salespages in the top of the search engines for good phrases. As a result, I am making A LOT of extra cash I'd normally not make if I'd only stick to other advertising methods I use (the paid ones)

 

Yeah thats my favorite part of SEO. I make sure every page I use (even if I use it strictly for PPC) gets a good onpage SEO workover. That way it can get indexed in google and who knows... Maybe it will get some freakishly kool keyword that brings in traffic.

 

Exactly. And it ain't that bad for PPC, either . So it's just a good idea to do this.

 

agreed. There have been times were I found a landing page soo good, I was like soo close to buying into it... but then looked at my statements thinking... I would buy this, if I had the money xD

 

Not true

You can get sales with SEM, advertising, email marketing...

The key issue is just the ROI

 

Yeah... exactly my thought. But ROI is just part of the equation. Depending on how you see ROI of course
