All About Internet Marketing

Let me first explain in short where we stand today. Internet marketing has become the most important tool and the most valuable part of an marketing plan of any prospering business today. This is true especially in the tourist and particularly in the scuba diving and accommodation industry. And that’s where we come in! We specialize since many years in promoting dive centers, resorts and hotels. Right now, at this very moment, thousands of potential customers are using the internet to search for scuba diving courses, diving equipment and new dive sites, they search for diving vacations, diving lessons and other scuba diving related keywords and phrases in other words, they search the very things YOU offer! Now, if your website is not on the first page of Google, it’s your loss! And this means that the time as come to move things forward and ask yourself some serious questions about your internet marketing strategies, and make sure you get the right answers! Here are the most important ones.

1. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

The most imminent questions must be;

• Will your potential customers find YOU before they find your COMPETITORS?
• Are you on the first page of Google when you search for your product and services with the top key phrases?
• Do you know how many websites link back to your website; more than to your competitors?
• Is your site really search engine optimized in every possible way?

But not enough with these 4 important questions. If it where that easy, we would soon be out of a job! Once your website is optimized for search engines, you need to do a more things to gain top positions for your website. Therefore there will be a few more questions you must ask yourself here:

2. Selling and Following Up

• First of all; does your website sell your products and services, or do you only get an inquiry every then and when?
• Do you have quality content (text, images, video) on your website to attract visitors and keep them busy on your site for as long as possible?
• Does your website show an appealing description in the search results pages of Google so that people want to click on it?
• Do you have a good punchline on your website, letting you stand out and making you different from your competitors?
• Does your site have a great looking landing page where visitors are invited to contact you with only one easy click on a button?
• Does your landing page have a “Call to Action” button that literally screams “CLICK ME”?
• Is it from every page ‘one click’ easy to contact you through your website?
• Is your website easy to navigate, can all important pages be found and accessed easily?
• Do you still have a business email address ending with @hotmail.com or @yahoo.com or a gmail address instead of your domain name?
• Can visitors easily sign up for your newsletter and do you send regularly newsletters to your customers?

3. Syndication of your Website

Get it Out there! Once you got the above two points right, it’s time to syndicate your website and use social media marketing and social network marketing to bring your business up to speed;

• Is there a well visible place on your site, where visitors can sign up for your newsletter, so you can follow up with your offers?
• Are there social bookmarking and social media buttons or widgets on your web pages, so visitors can tell their friends about you and share your site on their Facebook profile?
• Do you have a business page on Facebook with leads visitors from Facebook to your website?
• Do you have a RSS feed like Google Feedburner installed on your website which syndicates your content in the modern internet?
• Are you using Onlywire or other social bookmarking services to distribute your content throughout the social networks?
• Are you pinging new content so it can be easily picked up by search engine bots as soon as you published it?
• Are you on Twitter and are you regularly tweeting?
• Do you write a press release about your diving business at least every three month?
• Are you using Google Maps to rank in local searches?

4. Tracking your Results

After you answered all the previous questions about internet marketing, SEO and your website with yes, you’re not yet exactly finished. Now that everything is set to perfectly work, we need to know what’s going on as soon as the first results run in which means it’s time for result tracking, so that your efforts will be rewarded and you can make corrections to your campaigns to make them even more successful. The questions you must ask here are as follows:

• First and utmost; is the Google tracking code installed throughout your website?
• Do you have additional and accurate statistics installed for your site?, to not only trust one source of result tracking
• Do you know where your visitors come from and what pages on your site they stayed on longest?
• Do you use Google AdWords to test your campaigns and landing pages?
• Have you got Free Live Chat installed on your website?
• And finally; can you see the return of interest (ROI) of your efforts in your online marketing campaigns?

Fact is, there are Five Places in the Internet where your business MUST be seen!

Today everyone uses Google, Youtube, Twitter and Facebook to search for whatever they desire, don’t you too? For dive centers, sailing charter, hotels and other accommodation businesses, there is fifth entity that you simply cannot overlook anymore; TripAdvisor! We like to call them the big five. Sure, there is Yahoo and Bing and thousands of social networks around the web, but all of them together will never be able to drive as many potential clients to your website as the big five will do, not when you’re in the tourist industry at least.. Once you have a great website and you are at the first page of Google, on a top spot of Youtube and have a well made Facebook page, all other search engines and many networks will pick your site up automatically or with far less extra effort.
