Well the Oes Tsetnoc contest is nearly over so i thought id throw some articles in here, not about Oes Tsetnoc but about Search Engine Marketing instead.

Benefits of Search Engine Marketing
Search engines are now the primary method for people to look up websites on the internet. Interestingly, only a few businesses set aside a portion of their marketing budget to build a strong search engine marketing program. This anomaly can be your biggest advantage, and you can use it to gain a competitive edge against your major business competitors. If you’re still not convinced that SEM is the way to go then here are three compelling reasons why you should be.

• Not only are search engines the primary method to find relevant websites, they are also the tools that are used most often by web users. In fact, the use of search engines is second only to checking emails as the thing that is most often done online. There are now billions of web pages offering information on a wide range of topics, which is why people are relying on search engines more and more. What better way to market your site than by using a venue that is visited by most people everyday, right?
• The second reason why you should start developing your own search engine marketing strategy is that the traffic that search engines bring to your site is most often productive, meaning that they often result in a sale, because the people who reached your site via search engines were actively looking for the service or product that you provide. This is in sharp contrast to banner advertising wherein you are introducing your business to people who are otherwise checking something else online in the hopes that your banner will catch their interest.
• Experts agree that search engine marketing works, and marketing managers know this. In fact, 66% of online marketers ranked SEM as the most effective method to increase traffic to websites. As an added bonus, SEM is also one of the most cost-effective marketing methods available today.
