Difference Between SEO And Internet Marketing

| February 27, 2010 | Comments (6)

There has been many people who used to contact me for tips that are basically related to internet marketing which is of course is not my field of expertise. So I thought of making a post on the topic to enlighten people with regards to the difference the two.

What Is SEO?
SEO can be expanded as Search engine optimization which is basically self explanatory that it has something to do with search engines, something related to optimizing or tweaking your site in such a way that it ranks high search engines and there by getting you the needed the exposure you are looking for in your business or for some other purposes it differs from person to person.

What In Internet Marketing:
Internet marketing mainly deals with doing business online, promoting your product to make a sale for your or for your affiliated sites there by making money from it. People employ different strategies to gain exposure to their product online like article marketing, using social media sites, using adwords etc.. and these methods are even involved in SEO but that doesn’t mean internet marketing and SEO are one and the same in fact they both are different.

Internet marketers most of the time look for instant results for their pages but on the other hand SEO does not promise any instant results but it only does prove to be very effective on the long run.

There are internet marketers out there and there are professional internet marketers who look for long term goals for their products and they tend to use SEO for their advantage. But remember SEO and internet marketing are two different things, search engine optimization mainly focuses on search engines where as internet marketing tend to look in to various other sources to gain exposure including search engines and SEO can be used as a part of the strategy for your internet or online marketing but in my opinion they both are different though both the processes involve similar methods.

    You said it in plain English. This is very good for the non professional. People have sometimes really wrong definitions for words.

      Thank you so much for your comment :)

      You are right, its really hard to convey what you want to say through language, everyone carries their own dictionary in their mind which carries different meaning for each word you use. I try to put everything in plain and simple English for non-professionals because majority of the people who read my blog are those who do not have any idea about what seo or those who have little knowledge about the subject.

    Hello guys….!
    In my point of view SEO is Internet Marketing. Internet Marketing encompasses all aspects of online marketing. Search Engine Optimization is simply one of those aspects…..!

    I think that SEO is a subset of Internet marketing superset.but I think that as the search engines evolving seo will incorporate more and more aspects so eventually the two will be the same thing.
