Is the Web the best platform for your marketing?

Is the web working for you as Marketing Platform?

If the web isn't working as a Marketing Platform, there are a number of things you can do to improve this situation. If you haven't used the web as Marketing platform, then maybe it is time to start?

I suppose this begs the questions "Am I using the Internet to its full potential as a Marketing tool?" and "How do I use the web as Marketing platform without spending my days and nights online?" We will be discussing these questions and others in time to come.

How to make the web work for us as Marketing Platform

First of all you need a web presence, a website. If you don't have a website, but have been considering it, you may wish to have a look at what needs to be considered before getting a website. Your website needs to be visible and accessible. The better your page rank the more likely people are to get to your site. Otherwise your site is only an online business card. Nothing wrong with that. It is the first step.  A good way to improve your Google ranking is to have many links into your website from other appropriate sites. Appropriate sites are sites that have the same, similar, or related subjects, niches, topics, news, forums, conversations, directories, etc.
