In the world of the internet, many companies advertise what they are doing by having a website showing all that they have on offer. However, to find a company the inquirer has to look for that site online. A curious habit that we humans have is to only choose one of the top five or so which comes up when we look for a particular vendor so any company which wants to get more hits must somehow make sure that they are on the first page. To do this they must use a company which ensures search engine ranking. Try looking up ‘keyword ranking’ to see what the information about this subject is.

There are companies which take on this task, at a fee, to make sure that any company will be on the first page after people have instigated an investigation. This is simply done because they write articles on that particular company and put them on blogs and websites all over the internet to stir up some interest. By adding some back links into these articles, they lead the reader to find out more information on the company. The back link is usually highlighted in blue and the inquirer simply has to click on this link to be taken directly to that site.

Once a site has had a certain number of ‘clicks’ it moves up the list of similar companies all doing the same thing. Because it has more clicks it get closer to the top of the landing page and this now makes it even more popular when people are looking for a particular company or product. This in turn should mean more inquiries from the public which should, all being equal, generate more business of course.

Although companies do not really like spending out on this kind of advertising, it really is false economy. If people cannot find the site, or the company is too far down the list to generate any interest, then it is highly unlikely that they will get business from the internet. Rather, they will only keep existing customers. However, as every business will proclaim, repeat business is good but it does not sustain the company over time.

New business then is what most companies are after. Considering how much the media charges for any kind of advertisement, this method is really low-cost, particularly if the results are seen quite quickly. The web is vast these days so any kind of advertising must pull in a customer or two.

Once results are seen, it is a good idea to keep on with this kind of advertising since the amount of customers which may drop by the site are virtually endless, and there are more coming all the time.

Of course, this is not only true for customers who live in the same vicinity as the company, it can also glean international customers too is the company so wishes. This truly is a case of the world being a global village and all linked through the internet.
