17. Evolution of Digital marketing
Before
• Build a website
• Build links, build more links, and
build even more backlinks
• Hope it shows up in Google
someday
• Hope it displays on the results
page with the right keywords
(what people are typing in when
they search)
• It was like fishing and hoping you
will get a catch
Now
• Build ads around keywords
and pay for everyone that
clicks the ad and visits your
site
• Eg. Google’s Adwords (3 line
ads that show up on the
right/top of search engine
results)
• Microsoft’s Adcenter
