Four of the many methods used in Internet marketing are:

1.Search Engine Marketing: This is done by paying search engines (like Google) for each time your advertisement is clicked on by a web surfer. This is called Pay-per-click (PPC) marketing sometimes.

You are allowed to write your own advertisement for the search engine to use when providing results of searches made using your relevant key words.

2.Affiliate Marketing: An affiliate marketing program is set up by the owner or producer of a product or service whereby other marketers are paid to sell that product or service for a percentage of the sale or a flat fee for each sale.

This is one of the more popular forms of Internet marketing. Many times savvy marketers can set up website businesses without owning or producing any product of service of their own and those who do own products are services are happy to have others selling for them.

3.E-mail Marketing: This is a form of Internet marketing that has fallen on hard times of late with the being enacted prohibiting spamming.

Opt-in lists are now required to avoid being penalized for sending out spam e-mails. It is still, however, a very effective method of Internet marketing because the opt-in lists are people who are most interested in the product or service being offered.

4.Article Marketing: Owners of products or service operations write articles using key words and attention getting titles.

They then list them in article directories, repositories or article banks to be downloaded and reproduced by other website owners and ezine publishers free of charge as long as the articles remain unaltered and the resource box is included in the reproduction.

It may even be THE best if it is done right. Where blogging posts fall off the front page of an active blog in hours, articles remain visible for days or weeks on websites that download and post them…..and your resource box with them.

Like a fisherman, the more lines one has in the water, the more opportunities an Internet marketer has for success and articles that are downloaded and reproduced on many websites puts a lot of lines out in the Internet fishing hole.

If you can write (or have written) articles and post (or have them posted for you) in article directories or repositories, you have the opportunity to get your articles downloaded and posted on websites or downloaded and included in ezine publications.

These articles provide several opportunities for you:

1.Reproduced articles are free advertising! Your resource box is included in each reproduction and in that resource box there is a link to your website. The article itself, if it is well written, is the best advertising you can get paid or free.

2.Reproduced articles help establish you as an expert in your niche market or field.  As the author and the holder of the copyright on a well written and informative article, you will become known as a guru…the go-to guy or gal in your field.

3.PageRank improvement is another side effect of article marketing that is so valuable. Each time your article is downloaded and reproduced another link is on the Internet for the search engine spiders to count. PageRank improvement will bring a lot more traffic to your website.

4.A better bottom line is the result of more targeted traffic to your website. More traffic will equal more sales and that will make your bottom line very happy.
