One of the biggest online marketing challenges for small businesses is staying on top of emerging trends and filtering hype from reliable marketing tactics. For many small business marketers, dealing with constant change typically falls within a spectrum of doing nothing new and sticking with "what works" all the way to spending a large part of the marketing budget "testing" new channels and tactics without any ability to anticipate the possible return.
Best practices often fall somewhere in between. What are some of the successful online marketing tactics being implemented now and into 2008? Below is a list of 35 such tactics that may be meaningful for both BtoB or BtoC marketers.
The internet is loaded down with so much useless information and sites that aim for nothing less than simple traffick and clicks on their ads to generate income. I can spend hours upon hours each day searching for useful ways to market my businesses, and come up with relative few options. I can easily see why the companies that can afford it spend thousands of doallars every month just to be at the topp of the page on the popular search engines, but we can't all afford this luxury. We have to optimize our own sites the old fashioned way, by getting the word out where ever and whenever we can.
