What is the best way to generate leads or sales online? Without a doubt, it’s SEO!
According to a June Forbes study, Forty-eight percent of marketers said that search engine optimization (SEO) was the best method for generating conversions online. More than one-half of marketers with budgets over $1 million agreed.
“It’s not news that marketing budgets have been cut to the bone, nor that even paid search expenditures are in a slump. What is new, and slowly building over at least the past six months, is the realization by marketers that search engine optimization—the “free” kind of Web site tweaking based on content, metatags and link-building that helps a company get recognized in search queries—can return big, enduring benefits.”

“Because of the recession, there has been an acceleration (in attempts) to figure out proper Web site optimization due to its lower cost overall and higher ROI. It’s forced us to ask what is the most effective way to get traffic leads and sales. And there’s almost no one out there who won’t say SEO is now No. 1 by far, with email a close second.”
—Aaron Kahlow, founder and CEO of the Online Marketing Summit Conferences
In a nut shell, the smart money is on SEO.
If you haven’t optimized your website for the search engines, what are you waiting for?

Most online casinos today spend money on email marketing. It is one of the most cost efficient and effective way to promote casino websites and attract more traffic.
Due to the recession, there are fewer opportunities for bloggers to write online for extra income today. The payment for bloggers’ post has been greatly reduced by the advertisers.
But there are many signs of recovery these days. Let’s looking forward to the rise in post payment soon.
However, as the payment for online advertisement has been greatly reduced by the advertisers, for online stores, it might be a good time to promote themselves online at low costs instead of selling.
Blogging is not easy money at all. It requires patience, relevant skills, as well as dedicated work. I think, just as in the real life, there are no short cuts to making money in blogging as well. If you see it closely, a lot of principles that apply to other businesses apply to blogging as well.
It is very informative. Thanks for sharing it.
