With the rise of research-based tech giants like Google and social media moguls like Skype and Facebook, Digital Marketing has started to influence brand presence of various businesses including non-techno ones who are forced to resort to take their brands to social media and come up with certain tactics with one objective in mind: reach out to as many consumers as possible in the least possible time<\/a> as with every passing year no of people engaged in online activity keeps on increasing.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Before we proceed to understand the different types, we need to understand what Digital Marketing is. As the name suggests, it involves promotion, selling and communication of a company\u2019s products or services (collectively called \u201cMARKETING\u201d) through digital media like the Internet, on our mobile phones, display advertising, etc. among others.<\/p>\n There are also methods like Email Direct Marketing<\/a>, display advertising and free eBooks\/content provided by certain institutes which are less cumbersome and can be handled by in-house technicians. Even if you are new to these, you can always learn these things very easily using YouTube videos<\/a> or many easy to read blog posts. If you are a company, then it\u2019s advised to hire a person with proper knowledge of these things.<\/p>\n We move on to give a brief yet comprehensive explanation of each of the different types of digital marketing methods with a focus on top 3: SEO, SEM, and SMM.<\/p>\n SEO, the process of ensuring that your page gets ample amount of visibility in search engine results through use of certain tactics which lead to either your page gets listed in higher ranked results of Google search engine or it becomes easier for your targeted customers to find your page in unpaid results which are often called “natural”, “organic”, or “earned” results.<\/p>\n The process involves not an only textual method but also targets different kinds of search like image search, video search, academic search, news search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. Your content should be in such a way that it should look good from the search engines point of view. Then only you can rank in search results. Ranking in search results will not give your returns but ranking on page 1 of Google will. So for that only, every company is competing using various SEO techniques.<\/p>\n The impact of SEO can be understood through a case study by columnist Andrew Dennis in which he used the technique to create a million visitors in 12 months to his brand new website by simply focusing on key SEO terms. The full case study can be found here.<\/p>\n It\u2019s also called \u201cpaid search\u201d or \u201cpay per click\u201d advertising, it is a strategy used for the purpose of increasing the visibility of a website in search engine results. The basic difference between SEO and SEM<\/a> is that the former is an unpaid method while the latter (SEM) happens to be a paid one.<\/p>\n The benefit gained is a significantly lower level of marketing budget maintained by you as you have to pay your advertiser based on a number of successful clicks which lead to your website.<\/p>\n The best way to understand SEM as a customer is by checking out the various sponsored ads you get after you enter a search term (E.g.: shoes makes ads from Amazon and Myntra come up). To know the marketers perspective of setting up an SEM, you can click here.<\/p>\n Simply stated, it is the use of Social media portals like Facebook to run marketing campaigns where company executives handling the work can focus on real-time demand and perception of the Business\u2019 service\/products through reviews or comments from their targeted customers.
