Posted on 01. Jul, 2009 by admin in E-Marketing

Inter­net mar­ket­ing is one of the most cost effec­tive and pow­er­ful forms of online adver­tis­ing that can help lawyers and attor­neys achieve long-term ben­e­fits. Inter­net mar­ket­ing is com­prised of sev­eral ele­ments that help in dri­ving tar­geted traf­fic as well as rev­enue through new clients. Of course, Inter­net mar­ket­ing is an exten­sive field and you might not be able to use all the strate­gies and ele­ments at the same time. The ele­ments that you need to focus on ini­tially are the ones that will pro­vide you with dynamic mar­ket­ing results. There ele­ments include search engine opti­miza­tion (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC). Both are dif­fer­ent forms of Inter­net adver­tis­ing that are effec­tive and have their under­ly­ing impor­tance. These two Inter­net mar­ket­ing ele­ments have helped many lawyers, attor­neys, and law firms to effec­tively drive tar­geted traf­fic to their web­sites. It will do the same for you as well. SEO and PPC will help cre­ate a high vis­i­bil­ity for your web­site over the inter­net and drive clients look­ing for a lawyer through lead­ing search engines. Why should you con­sider SEO and PPC to other forms of Inter­net mar­ket­ing? Here are some of the rea­sons why you should con­sider them: Most peo­ple, vis­it­ing the Inter­net, are either look­ing for prod­ucts and ser­vices or rel­e­vant infor­ma­tion. Accord­ing to a sur­vey con­ducted by BizRate.com and The Kelsey Group, it has been revealed that 74% of 1000 US con­sumers con­duct local prod­uct or ser­vice searches online. Off late, local online searches for spe­cific or need-based prod­ucts and ser­vices are on the rise. Accord­ing to another report by The Kelsey Group, it has been revealed that other forms of online local adver­tis­ing are los­ing out to PPC. Accord­ing to this report, almost 36% of the peo­ple inter­viewed used the Yel­low Pages book for their local shop­ping needs while 64% used the inter­net to search for local ser­vices or prod­ucts includ­ing law firms and attor­neys. SEO and PPC One of the great­est advan­tages that Inter­net mar­ket­ing offers you is steady growth. Depend­ing on the type of Inter­net mar­ket­ing you choose, your law firm’s growth will be faster or slower. PPC or pay Per Click adver­tis­ing is one of the forms of Inter­net mar­ket­ing that will get you imme­di­ate results. The good thing about PPC is that you will have to pay only when an Inter­net user clicks on your adver­tise­ment. So you don’t have to pay any­thing in advance. The sec­ond biggest advan­tage of Inter­net mar­ket­ing is rev­enue gen­er­a­tion and profit. With the help of SEO and PPC, your law firm can tar­get the right audi­ence, cre­ate a high vis­i­bil­ity, and drive traf­fic to the web­site. These are the best options for get­ting hot leads or prospec­tive clients. Imple­ment­ing a PPC adver­tis­ing cam­paign is eas­ier than imple­ment­ing an SEO cam­paign although both have their dis­tinc­tive advan­tages. One of the dis­tinct advan­tages of using PPC is that you can get listed on the first page of all top search engines within almost 48 hours. On the other hand with SEO, you will have to incor­po­rate sev­eral sub-elements like key­word dri­ven web­site con­tent, link build­ing, rec­i­p­ro­cal link­ing, direc­tory sub­mis­sion etc. SEO offers more advan­tage in the long-run.
