Market structure
In 2006, North American advertisers spent US$9.4 billion on search engine marketing, a 62% increase over the prior year and a 750% increase over the 2002 year. The largest SEM vendors are Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and Microsoft adCenter.[1] As of 2006, SEM was growing much faster than traditional advertising and even other channels of online marketing.[3] Because of the complex technology, a secondary "search marketing agency" market has evolved. Many marketers have difficulty understanding search engine marketing and they rely on third party agencies to manage their search marketing. Some of these agencies have developed technology that automates bidding and other complex functions required for the Pay Per Click model. .
History
As the number of sites on the Web increased in the mid-to-late 90s, search engines started appearing to help people find information quickly. Search engines developed business models to finance their services, such as pay per click programs offered by Open Text[5] in 1996 and then Goto.com[6] in 1998. Goto.com later changed its name[7] to Overture in 2001, and was purchased by Yahoo! in 2003, and now offers paid search opportunities for advertisers through Yahoo! Search Marketing. Google also began to offer advertisements on search results pages in 2000 through the Google AdWords program. By 2007, pay-per-click programs proved to be primary money-makers[8] for search engines.
Search engine optimization consultants expanded their offerings to help businesses learn about and use the advertising opportunities offered by search engines, and new agencies focusing primarily upon marketing and advertising through search engines emerged. The term "Search Engine Marketing" was proposed by Danny Sullivan in 2001[9] to cover the spectrum of activities involved in performing SEO, managing paid listings at the search engines, submitting sites to directories, and developing online marketing strategies for businesses, organizations, and individuals |

Search engine marketing (SEM) works through various ways. There are certain methods, such as pay per click, also known as PPC, which charges you each time a person goes to your web site from the search engine results. There is also search engine inclusion, which is where you pay to have your business listed in the search results, according to Tampa SEO firm. You will normally show on the top or down the side, in the sponsored section, when you go this route.
SEM has revolutionized the way businesses attain customers. People are realizing this and turning to Internet marketing to make sure that they are seen when they need to be seen. The fact of the matter is that your prospects are already out there looking for the product or service that you have to offer. _________________ Miami Real Estate |
