E-commerce success remains frustratingly elusive for many even as trends clearly show that
Internet is a medium that will continue to have a huge impact across
board on
entire business landscape. This impact will not even spare totally offline companies, as they too will need to adjust to
rapidly changing offline business environment that has been affected by developments online.So while everybody knows that they will have to pay a lot of attention to
net, many failed web entrepreneurs can’t quite put their fingers on what they did wrong, or where exactly
problem was.
So what is
most overlooked hurdle to success? Experts believe that it is Internet marketing and specifically search engine optimization and visibility.
Everybody knows that web sites get a vast majority of their new visits through search engines. Most net surfers will go straight to their favorite search engine and then use key words to look for
information that they are looking for. In this way, they make use of
internet’s advantage of having virtually unlimited information and a wide choice of service providers in virtually any discipline one can think of, plus thousands of others one will never think of. The World Wide Web is a huge place and so if key words in a search engine will not find you, it means that hardly anybody will be able to find your expensive, state-of-the-art web site.
Life is now being made easier by some good hosting companies. These companies have realized that search engines are a key to success and have therefore included search engine optimization services into
range of products they offer as web hosting providers.
