SEO must be applied when writing the Title, Description and Keywords Tags of your website. Each web page on your site should have a unique title and description that clearly illustrates the content of the page. This shows up as the text on a search engine results page and explains to online searchers what your website has to offer.
Social Media Marketing (SMM) refers to the use of social media websites and networks as well as blogs, online communities and other internet media platforms for the purpose of sales, marketing, PR and customer relations. Popular Social Media platforms include Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, YouTube and LinkedIn.

PPC allows the advertising company to pay only when an online user has clicked on their ad making it an attractive advertising option.
Finally, the use of web-based multimedia such as video, sound, and animation can make a huge impact on a visitor’s experience. Multimedia helps to create a memorable and engaging experience for online users, which positively influences your site traffic, which includes new and returning visitors.
