Personally I believe that content creation is the most crucial factor for a successful internet marketer since the internet and its audience is driven by a constant stream of unique helpful content. Link building is another important aspect that is done popular will help drive your web presence to the top of search engines. One of the newer aspects of internet marketing is social media optimization and marketing. This is utilizing websites such as twitter, facebook, squidoo, blogger, myspace, and others within your marketing campaign. SEO (search engine optimization) has been and will be the foundation of most internet marketing campaigns. When you SEO a website what you do is make it easily indexed and take certain steps so it ranks well for certain keywords. The last topic, but certainly not the least is branding. The simple definition of branding is when you as a webmaster take the title of your presence or your own name and make it a brand that everyone knows. You work diligently to associate your name or website with your niche so when someone thinks of the niche they think of you. One good example of this is when I think of blogging I think of Darren over at problogger he did a fantastic job of becoming the expert of his niche.

I have always found it useful when I get “stuck” to start something I have never done before. This is how I created a forum which brings me thousands of backlinks and blogs which I don’t have to write to. I worked around the normal pushing the limits and have had excellent results when doing so. We are in an unknown frontier and the ones that will be the most successful will be the ones which are the most creative.
