Typically, the zeal of all these professionals recedes and realizing their weakness they come to the same agency, which for organization the promotion of business or product on the Internet asks the amount of money that causes advertising budget to spasm.

Lord Wizards of offline advertising, do not be afraid of Internet, everything is much simpler here than it seems. Especially for you, we will disclose the main points of promotion on the Internet and teach you to promote your projects in the field of virtual demand.

We will begin with what any marketing begins with - determining the target audience. In the network the target audience is most often determined by the content of sites, which it usually attends. Generally speaking, the audience on the Internet is called traffic, and the popular one is the one, who can convey information about himself to the whole targeted traffic. However, unlike in your favorite off-line, on the Internet, you can make sure that your brand is constantly before the eyes of users, if a proper ad campaign is built. To organize it highly effectively, you should use as many marketing tools as possible. Their number may be dozens or even hundreds, but there are some that you need to know and apply in the first place.

The web site of the business project or product

We will not be writing that your business or product should have a site on the Internet, because this condition shall be strictly adhered. This is so sure that there is no sense in even starting something different, if you do not have at least a web page. If you do not know how to make a site, and all kinds of «experts» are stating you figures with three or four zeros in USD, then turn these professionals out and look for somebody else. You can also refer to the freelancer, who may even make a better site than the eminent office, and for many times cheaper.

Progress in the search engines and seo-optimization

Advertising anything on the internet remember, the lion's share of traffic (up to 80%) comes precisely from search engines, it means that you should arrange the promotion of your project or product in accordance with the keywords relevant to your business,. Accordingly, promoting online services such as sales of tourist route sheets, your objective is to be in TOP10 of Yandex and Google results on «Tourist route sheets» request. And again you will have to go to find a freelancer seo-optimizer, which will define the budget of your site, depending on your competitors, to be spent for acquiring references at the different sites to yours that will improve your position in search engines. In fact, you pay from 500 to several thousand dollars for the promotion and will collect all the traffic that goes for your key terms in the search There might be many stalls with water after you, but thirsty people will not wait, they need water as soon as possible and thus they will come to you. The average budget for the promotion of the site is about 800 $, but the figure is very conditional and depends on your goals, and competitors.

Why did we start with promotion in search engines, rather than any other marketing tool? Yes, because promotion in Yandex and Google is a process that takes about 4-5 weeks, and if you expect to begin large-scale advertising campaign at some exact planned time, you should think about promotion in advance and proceed accordingly in advance. This happens because weeks must pass by before the search engine indexes all of the purchased links to your site and picks up your project in its results.

Contextual advertising

The next most common method of online advertising is contextual advertising. Most likely, you have been told about it when you turned to an independent advertising agency. The uniqueness of this technology is that it displays advertisements according to the meaning of the content on the site and user queries in search engines. Some marketers believe that the future is with contextual advertising, and they are right in their own way, if there wasn’t this one condition. This condition is high costs caused by the tricks of competitors, or clicks of insolvent Internet users.

Either way, contextual advertising is very effective and it should be used in a complex network of advertising campaigns. In order to organize a contextual advertising, to start with, decide on the keywords which you want to collect the traffic for. For a more complete picture, you can use the service of wordstat.yandex.ru. After choosing the keywords, you should register with the systems of contextual advertising (for example Yandex Direct or Google Adwords) and continue to contribute funds to the account. All that remains afterwards is waiting for your ads to appear in the contextual advertising units, and calculate the effectiveness of the campaign.

Media

Using promotion in the search engines and contextual advertising, you attract maximum of the target audience. However, shortcoming of direct marketing is that it always means something more or less none-viscous. To establish credibility in the minds of the audience and enhance awareness of the brand, is what online media is used for. Of course, offline media is used similarly, but we specifically drew the attention in online format, because now every year the popularity and traffic to online media is growing exponentially. And it makes no sense to list the reasons: just because nowadays the morning of most people all around the world begins with a mug of coffee, visit to the blog, news site and social networking site. That is why the online media should be paid more attention to. And here it is important to note that compared with the printed versions, in online advertising problems are solved usually several times faster. You only need to have correspondence by ICQ or e-mail, make the payment, and believe that PR-campaign has already begun. Beauty of the Internet is that today, many online newspapers and magazines place their titles on the sites related to topics of the media, which means that you can negotiate the global promotion of your project or product with the administrator of the media.
