Internet Marketing as a whole is the placement of media along different stages of the customer engagement cycle through Search Engine Optimization; Search Engine Marketing; e-mail Marketing and Social Networking. Many people today incorrectly refer to the whole Internet marketing process as SEO. This is greatly due to the fact that in the early days of the web, marketers were more concerned with SEO than anything else. As the Internet has grown and matured . . . so has the marketing associated with it.
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of making your website more noticeable to search engines with the end purpose of achieving higher rankings within the Search Engine Results Page or SERPs. In short it is a way to ensure that your website appears as close as possible to the beginning of the list.
Despite claims made by some, no-one can guarantee top placement in all search engines. It just isn't possible. Everyone knows the names of the big hitters like Google and Yahoo, but there are hundreds of search engines out there, with more being added all the time. There is no set formula on how search engines gather information and determine the appropriate rating for websites in their databases. To complicate things further, they change how they gather this information from time to time. This has a tendency to make Search Engine Optimization a very difficult and labor intensive task to accomplish.
That doesn't change the fact that it is of vital importance that Search Engine Optimization be preformed on your website. There are literally billions of websites on the Internet and more being added daily.

In the relationship to Internet marketing, social media marketing refers to a collective group of web properties whose content is primarily published by users.
Social media marketing has three important aspects:
- Creating 'buzz' or newsworthy events, videos, tweets, blog entries that attract attention that will hopefully become viral in nature.
- Presenting ways for fans of a 'brand' or company to promote a message created by them within multiple online social media venues.
- It is based upon conversation. Social media marketing is not controlled by the company, but relies on the participation and dialog of users.
