Search engine optimization (SEO)[ edit ]
Search engine optimization , or SEO, attempts to improve a website's organic search rankings in SERPs by increasing the
website content's relevance to search terms. Search engines regularly update their algorithms to penalize poor quality
sites that try to game their rankings, making optimization a moving target for advertisers. [46] [47] [48] Many vendors offer SEO
services. [1] :22
Sponsored search[ edit ]
Sponsored search (also called sponsored links, search ads, or paid search) allows advertisers to be included in the
sponsored results of a search for selected keywords. Search ads are often sold via real-time auctions, where advertisers
bid on keywords. [20] :118 [49] In addition to setting a maximum price per keyword, bids may include time, language,
geographical, and other constraints. [20] :118 Search engines originally sold listings in order of highest bids. [20] :119 Modern
search engines rank sponsored listings based on a combination of bid price, expected click-through rate, keyword
relevancy and site quality. [22]

Social media marketing[ edit ]
Social media marketing is commercial promotion conducted through social media websites. Many companies promote
their products by posting frequent updates and providing special offers through their social media profiles. [50]
Mobile advertising[ edit ]
Mobile advertising is ad copy delivered through wireless mobile devices such as smartphones , feature phones , or tablet
computers. Mobile advertising may take the form of static or rich media display ads, SMS (Short Message Service) or
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) ads, mobile search ads, advertising within mobile websites, or ads within mobile
applications or games (such as interstitial ads, “ advergaming ,” or application sponsorship). [1] :23 Industry groups such as
the Mobile Marketing Association have attempted to standardize mobile ad unit specifications, similar to the IAB's efforts
for general online advertising. [44]
Mobile advertising is growing rapidly for several reasons. There are more mobile devices in the field, connectivity speeds
have improved (which, among other things, allows for richer media ads to be served quickly), screen resolutions have
advanced, mobile publishers are becoming more sophisticated about incorporating ads, and consumers are using mobile
devices more extensively. [1] :14 The Interactive Advertising Bureau predicts continued growth in mobile advertising with
the adoption of location-based targeting and other technological features not available or relevant on personal
computers. [1] :14 In July 2014 Facebook reported advertising revenue for the June 2014 quarter of $2.68 billion, an increase
of 67 percent over the second quarter of 2013. Of that, mobile advertising revenue accounted for around 62 percent, an
increase of 41 percent on the previous year.
