Organic food is better for me than regular so organic search marketing must be better for my business, right?

Relevancy is the key to successful marketing.  Potential customers must hear and believe that your product or service is relevant to them.  Does it fit their lifestyle?  Does it meet a need?  Does is scratch an itch they have?  If so, they’ll want it.

Having a relevant product isn’t enough.  If no one knows about your fantastic solution or amazing service then it might as well not even exist.  They have to know it’s out there and available to them.

In the past the Yellow Pages and direct mail were some of the most cost effective ways to get the word out.  Now it’s all about internet marketing and search engines.  Obviously, the paper based advertising is still around but it’s on the way out.  Search engine marketing and organic search marketing are taking over as the best way to get in front of would-be customers.

Organic search marketing is a relatively new field.  As online searchers become more and more savvy they learn to spot the fakes.  They know when someone is trying to pull the digital wool over their eyes.  Those are the sites with high bounce rates.  No sooner does the searcher land on the page than they are hitting the back button and moving on to the next link.  Paid advertising links have their place but most people seem to prefer the organic results.  Given that distinction those links become much more valuable to both businesses and customers.
Assuming that your product or service is relevant, it is also necessary to take the most relevant approach to communicating your message.
 
One of the most important things to do if you want pages that rank high in search results is to keep a steady flow of quality content on the website.  Content is the key. The better the content the more people are likely to share and promote the page.  But combined with quality is quantity.  A high volume of pages with fresh content adds to the weight, pushing the ranking higher and higher.

In addition to lots of quality content it’s important to make sure the information is presented in the best way.  Remember, people aren’t the only ones reading the material on the various pages of your website.  Google, Yahoo, Ask.com, and many other search engines are also scanning your content.  Not just the content you see displayed on the page, but the code behind the content.

Relevant code is probably as important as relevant content.  Site structure is critical to making the search engine crawlers happy.  Great writing can’t make up for terrible coding.  The people programming your website can nullify all the work of those who are generating the dynamite articles if they don’t know what they are doing.

Organic search marketing will not always be the latest and greatest thing.  One day it will be the “old fashioned” approach to marketing.  But for now it’s the best way to generate new leads and connect with potential customers.
