Although the terms promotion and marketing are quite interchangable, they can also be quite different. For instance, by providing a limited time promotional price for your product may get the word out about your new business and/or product and generate some interest through word of mouth and repeat buyers. This is a form of marketing.

Here on the web, the terms often do not go hand in hand. For some reason the web community seems to have sort of resolved itself to thinking of promotion as a way to get the word out about your web site or product in order to generate traffic. Once the traffic is there, your web site handles the marketing. That's bunk. If you are promoting your web site on the internet you are still marketing it to the public. If you go for a job interview, you try to put your best foot forward and promote yourself, but you are still marketing yourself to a prospective employer.

So the two terms do go hand-in-hand. And yet, the terms have some differences on the web. We don't hear much about web site marketing unless we think that there are advertising dollars involved. Yet one of the most often used terms on the internet is web site promotion.

Web site promotion usually refers to getting your web site listed in the search engines or otherwise promoting your web site to the world. But simply getting your web site listed in the search engines (Google, Alta Vista, Lycos) and web directories (The Open Directory, Yahoo) isn't enough since you will be among many others. This is why a whole industry has propped up surrounding this art.

However, this term has more relevancy in this case, as when you actually actively try to promote your web site in the search engines, you are trying to promote it through the listings to a higher ranking. Because if you are buried under a million other names when people search for a listing, they are going to wind up at your competitor's web site, everytime.

Symbiotic Design™ takes great pride in how we treat web site promotion. We utilize our very design skills to create self promoting web sites. For more on web site promotion and search engine optimzation, please visit the website optimization page. For more ideas on website design, promotion and optimization, visit the Symbiotic Design Forums. As stated earlier, promotion is marketing, no matter how you look at it, and no matter how hard or easy the job is. Sometimes you actually do have to do a little bit of self prostitution to bring the bacon home. I personally don't like doing that. That's why I am looking for better ways. The Symbiotic Design Forums is intended to address this. Still, if you don't want to handle the marketing, we can. Please check out our marketing page for more info on our marketing services.
