Content Marketing – Blog Articles – online publishers like PropertyBlogs and BusinessBlogs publish articles with a hyperlink to the client website. The back-link is good for SEO over time and the immediate benefit is targeted ‘strangers’ (traffic) to your website.

Search Advertising – Google Adwords is very popular and when it is executed well (which is best achieved with a Google Adwords Certified business or professional) the results prove it’s worth the cost.  It’s a marketing strategy that leverages off key word searches and we know a very high percentage of customers research online via search before they make the purchase.
