With the increase in alternative forms of chat media will search engine marketing and optimisation of websites become superseded?
Recent progress in the way we communicate through the web have been less about conventional broadcast media and more about interactive, two way contact. As this type of communication develops it will undoubtedly affect the way search engines run and by association the process of Online Marketing.
Historic media “broadcasts” a message to the intended audience, whether it is in the form of a paper or an advertisement (physical or digital) which exposes the reader, listener or watcher to a message. The communication is one way and the intended audience is informed of something, in essence “talked at”.
Conventional methods of Online Marketing carried out by the marketing sector and more recently the relatively new process of Search Engine Optimisation companies (SEO Company) are targeted at the way that Google (mainly) accesses web pages. This is a type of broadcast media not too far removed from to a newspaper albeit with digital trickery to make the incidence more attractive.
Is this all about to change? Are the accepted Search Engine Placement services about to become less helpful? Assuming the internet continues to develop along the same lines as it has for the last ten years, we can expect to see the use of the internet becoming more embedded in our day to day real time lives. It will become more of a delivery platform as opposed to an information source, a concierge as opposed to a librarian. If we are accessing the net in real time that relationship will become two way and transactional, broadcast methods will offer a trivial experience and become a thing of the past.
Once a buyer can engage with the seller of the product or service through two way communication merely reading a website will be less than fulfilling. At this point conventional Search Engine Placement services become obsolete and Online Marketing becomes about making connections not recognising content.
The smart Search Engine Optimisation Company will be looking at how that interaction can take place in an environment that is so swarming with information. If at all possible, a buyer is exposed to a seller (or a number of sellers) in an situation where he can actively interrogate and compare their offer, ask for detail and maybe even tailor the product or service to his needs before he makes the conclusion to buy.
Instead of offering website optimisation for a static broadcast, online marketing may be about promoting links and may take place on Twitter, chatrooms, forums even within games where product placement is already beginning to happen.
