As someone who is fairly new at internet marketing I'm encouraged to know I'm focused on the right areas. There is so much to learn and it is comforting to see evidence from a good size group of people answering a survey. Thanks for your article.

Social networking is good but i think that most of the traffic that comes from Social is bulk traffic - still we can't avoid it. But in terms of quality wise we can go for SEO, Blogging which is true and can be seen in voting. # Email marketing is an old concept so it would stay long forever. # PPC is great to experiment and analysis so it would stay long. # Video marketing would take much time though it can have an impact on brand marketing but will soon evolve in the coming times. Last but not the least i find SEO is the best way to leverage costs and gain exposure from Search Engines which can be converted to sales. Kudos to SEO!

If it is a newly formed business then PPC would be a better option due to the time it take to conduct ethical optimisation i.e. dont gain too many links too quickly or you may end up in the google sandbox. I didnt see fax marketing mentioned in the poll, which is a good marketing strategy to niche markets.

I'm hoping that those who responded understand that SEO is more than just the technical aspects of it. To me, effective SEO is really a content strategy that would envelop blogging, microblogging, and other social media. More often than not those activities create the desired SEO/traffic results.

As for PPC I have backed off as conversions were tanking because of the doubt and fear in the marketplace seemed to be freezing buyers from making a move. I like the idea of paid press releases and I have implemented an affiliate program in the last 3 months. keeping the business lean and getting more exposure are both priorities for me now.

Frankly, I am surprised that SEO led the list. As a 12 yr SEO vet, I am still getting push-back from clients on SEO. We are trying to build SEO into all new Web development, instead of after the fact. We see more upside in SEO for PR communications (ie. Social Media News Release). Finally, SEO now is mostly about link relevancy, so are there specific programs around link development instead of the tired Meta tag/Web copy optimization? Another great poll, Lee.

I think video marketing is low based on most people feeling it is complicated and expensive. That's the feedback we get. We try to explain how expensive PPC and other tactics (including SEO) are, but limited success with that argument so far. Lee- 400 responsed is very impressive.
