The best ways to advertise online if through search engines. They are used by millions of people every day, giving you maximum exposure. This is why they are so valuable to marketers. When you use Search Engine Marketing (SEM) your ranking in the Search Engine Results Pages (SERPS) will increase dramatically. If you want to maximize your profits, try these tips;

PPC Ads- PPC is the easiest way to get traffic to your website instantly. The only problem is you need money to invest in this method. You bid on keywords that are relevant to your product or service. They appear in the SERPs and you pay every time someone clicks on your ad. You can't just bid on any keyword though. You'll want to make sure that you target the right market so that your visitors convert to customers. Google Adwords is by far the most popular PPC advertiser which also makes it the most expensive.

Paid Inclusion- Paid inclusion is when you pay the search engines for them to display you higher in the SERPS which gives you more exposure. You'll want to make sure again that you are paying for keywords that will convert.

SEO- To improve the quality and quantity of your traffic you need to do well in the search engines. Most search engines assign a page rank(PR) which tells them the quality of your content and thus where to place you in the results. Inserting relevant keywords into your website's content as much as possible without compromising the integrity of the site will increase your pagerank. I recommend going to the advertiser's website to find out how they assign PR so that you know what to improve.

Link building- Link building will increase your PR but you need to be careful when you do this. Some link building sites will actually damage your PR. You need to get quality links from websites that are well established and have a good PR themselves. Good links to your site tell the search engines that there is valuable information on your site and will rank you better for it.
