Earlier this month we discussed Search Engine Marketing (SEM) and how it relates to marketing your company. The goals of SEM is to ensure that your company has a presence in the search engines under relevant searches such as "bail bond agents" or "denver county bail bonds". This article on Paid vs. Organic Search Results is the second in a series that will give you tips on managing SEM yourself. If you have a website, clearly you want that site to be at the top of the search engines for the keyword searches that are most important to you. There are two ways this can be achieved: 1) Paid placement - also known as PPC (pay-per-click) or CPC (cost-per-click), and 2) Organic which is achieved through SEO (search engine optimization). |

Paid Results (PPC, CPC) Although these campaigns can be expensive, you have the advantage of deciding which keywords you want to show up under and how much you are willing to pay. Both Google and Yahoo! allow you to set a daily budget. Once your budget is reached, your ad stops showing up and it starts over again the next day. Focusing on organic results is a more long-term approach to SEM, and organic results are seen as more relevant and trustworthy to potential customers. As an example, AboutBail.com comes up first in google for the search term "bail bond agents". This means that Google's search engine algorithm has analyzed AboutBail.com and see's it as the most important site on the web relevant to "bail bond agents". Although how Google's algorithm works is largely a mystery, there are a number of factors that SEO experts feel are critical to good search engine results. Achieving Rankings with SEO 1) Market your website. Inbound links from authority sites such as AboutBail.com can increase your search engine rankings because they show search engines that others want to link to your site. Getting inbound links from authority sites, is perhaps one of the quickest ways to increase organic placement. What else would you like to know about SEM for Bail Bond Agents? | |
