Next Generation Web Development
Today a website on the Internet is one of the most popular and effective forms of advertising in the world. First, the Internet is “on” twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. Secondly, each day it is accessed by hundreds of million people across the globe as the Internet overcomes the boundaries of language and culture. It has become a communication tool for the people of the world. Think about that for a second - you can reach out to people in your own back yard and to people across the globe through one communication channel.
The tool of the Internet is the website. It is a virtual bus stop along the way for the Internet viewer. As viewers navigate the Internet, they are attracted to various websites through search engines, email, message boards, banner advertisements, viral messages, word of mouth and by other means. The fact of the matter is that if you as a marketer can understand and take advantage of these means of driving traffic to your website, you can gain a significant amount of exposure.
Taking that exposure to the next level, if you have a well-planned website, it will engage and convert viewers. This means that once the viewers arrive at your website, their interest will be captured, and they will be lead through the experience of your website and the marketing messages that you want them to interact with. Furthermore, it means that the viewer will become a conversion, meaning that they purchase a product, complete an online form or pick up the phone and call you. Ultimately, this formula leads to viewers becoming your customers.
The wonderful thing about online advertising includes the very things that I described in the first paragraph, but it also provides a means of providing unparalleled results tracking as follows:
Website Visitors – Through specific software programs, website traffic can be monitored. You can learn how many people come to your website each day, each hour, each minute. You can learn how they found your website, what pages they look at most and ultimately what they do while they are visiting.
Search Engine Rankings – You can track what keywords people will find you under and where those words rank on search engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN. You can determine which words are driving the most traffic and which words are driving the best-qualified traffic.
Email – Email can be tracked to show how many messages went out, how many were successfully delivered, how many emails were opened and how many people actually responded and visited your website as a result of receiving the email. You will see not only how many as an aggregate total, but individually as well.
Advertising – Almost anything you do in terms of Internet advertising can be tracked and monitored for success. Ad codes can be easily tracked and the results analyzed to understand what is working and what’s not. What’s best about this is that results are immediate, and testing can be performed quickly and easily. This enables constant improvement in marketing efforts that lead to better and better results.
Taking a step back for a second, marketing on the Internet is a serious opportunity, especially when you realize that the cost compared to traditional advertising such as TV, print, radio and direct mail is substantially less with a whole lot more on the upside in terms of understanding what is working. This is the reason why the Internet is the best advertising and marketing tool a company can utilize.
