Earlier this week we started a poll on what online marketing tactics our readers would use most in 2008. The polling plug-in allows for only one choice and over 100 people have responded so far. We’ll keep the poll running for another week or so, but here are the top ten tactics rankings so far out of 35 listed and the percentage of votes for each.
With the vote count at over 150, I’ve updated the top ten as of 02/13/08:
- Blogging (27%)
- Email marketing (16%)
- Search engine optimization (14%)
- Pay per click (9%)
- Social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn) (5%)
- Blogger relations (4%)
- Online public relations (3%)
- Viral marketing (3%)
- Free content (white papers) (3%)
- Corporate web site (3%)
The original top ten are here from 02/05/08:
- Blogging (25%)
- Search engine optimization (14%)
- Email marketing (12%)
- Pay per click (8%)
- Blogger relations (6%)
- Online public relations (5%)
- Viral marketing (5%)
- Corporate web site (4%)
- Social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn) (4%)
- Webinars/Teleconference (3%)
Blogging really does make sense because it can serve as a platform for so many other tactics including SEO, email (archiving newsletters), blogger relations, PR, viral marketing, a compliment to the corporate site, a touchpoint for social networking and a place to promote webinars.
If you’re a company doing business and/or marketing online and aren’t using a blog in some way, you’re really at a disadvantage. The longer a company goes without a blog of some sort, the greater an advantage their blogging competition will have. Of course, not ALL companies need to have a blog, but the number of qualified reasons not to is getting smaller each day.
I am happy to say that of the top ten tactics listed, TopRank specializes in the top 3 (blog marketing, SEO and email marketing) plus several others.

十个顶级的线上营销方法
这周之前, 我们通过线上投票来让我们的读者表决什么将会是他们2008年使用最多的线上营销策略。 投票系统限制每人一票, 超过100人给予我们他们的选择。我们会将此投票延续到下周。 我们今天提供在35个备选方案中投票数最多的10个最受推崇的方案以及他们的投票率。
当投票人数超过150人,我于08年2月13日筛选出了10个票数最高的选项:
博客传播(27%)
邮件营销(16%)
优化搜索引擎(14%)
按点击数付费(9%)
社会性网络(Facebook,LinkedIn)(5%)
博链(4%)
线上公共关系(3%)
病毒过滤营销(3%)
免费内容(white papers)(3%)
公司网站(3%)
08年2月5日的10个方案的内容和数据是:
博客传播(25%)
搜索引擎优化(14%)
邮件营销(12%)
按点击数付费(8%)
博链(6%)
线上公共关系(5%)
病毒过滤营销(5%)
公司网站(4%)
社会性网络(FAcebook,LinkedIn)(4%)
网络研讨会、电子会议(3%)
博客之所以收到关注, 是因为它成为很多其他在线营销的策略提供了一个平台, 包括SEO,邮件,博链,公共关系, viral营销, 宣传公司, 社会关系的触点以及开展网络研讨会的地方。
如果你们公司从事电子商务及网上营销, 却没有通过博客来宣传, 是比较失势的。在某种程度上, 一个公司越不用博客,他们博客营销的竞争优势就越强。当然, 并不是所有的公司都必须拥有博客空间, 但很多充分的理由让人相信,不用博客营销的公司正日益减少。
如果你至今还没有参加过投票, 请发表你的看法。 我们将在接下来几周发布最终的投票数。同时, 你也可以陈述, 你是否同意这张表单?是否还有其他网络营销的点子您所想到的会成为08年的先锋?
