Marketing tools contribute to Internet marketing success.
Brick and mortar companies regularly invest in advertising and other methods to promote their business. This is an ongoing need, and marketing for an online business requires the same process. Use online marketing tools to promote your website. There are many benefits to using online tools.
Target Marketing
Targeting your customers online can yield a high return for your marketing investment. With a keyword research tool, you can determine which keywords your potential buyers use when searching to find a company like yours on the Internet.
Competitive Analysis
Most keyword research tools provide information about the number of websites that market their products using the same keywords you are considering. By knowing how many online companies are using each keyword, you can decide if there are too many competitors for you to consider marketing with specific keywords.
Demographics
Understand the demographics of the types of customers you are targeting and you can tailor your message to that market. Several free websites, such as Compete and Quantcast, provide a service whereby you can enter the address of a competing site and determine the demographics of that site's customers.
Content Creation
To market effectively to visitors to your site, the content must be well organized, easily accessible and appealing to the search engines. Several content creation tools, such as Wordpress, Blogger and Typepad, provide a platform for content management.
Content Syndication
To increase awareness of your site and your products and services, place content at multiple website locations, such as social media properties like Squidoo, Hubpages and LinkedIn. There are tools available to syndicate text, audio and video. Such tools speed up the time it takes to manually place content on web locations. You can also syndicate content real-time using services such as Twitter. When a message enters into Twitter, it immediately transmits to other Twitter users who want to receive your messages.
Tracking
You must track the traffic to your website to know where it is coming from, what keywords visitors use to find your site, and the average time someone spends on your site. This information helps you focus on traffic generation methods that give the highest return. Available tracking tools include Google Analytics, Awstats and Sitemeter.
