The initial impact was so great that it ended in the famous burst of the Internet bubble in the year 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, we have tried to rebuild ourselves, to set in motion a suitable digital identity, and to make the most of it. The problem is that, to make the most of it, it is not enough just to be present.<\/p>\n<p>We have to review our online strategy. This requires optimizing strategies to capture traffic (paid media), our online properties (owned media), and the management of the echoes of our actions (earned media). As necessary as it is interesting, right? Well, you&#8217;re in luck. This is precisely what you&#8217;re going to find in this book.<\/p>\n<p>In the following pages, Fernando Maci\u00e1 will guide you through a complete review of all the points you must take into account to optimize an online strategy. By the end of reading the book, you will have a plan to improve your online presence that allows you to see positive results in less time than you think.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, you are in the best hands. Fernando is one of the greatest experts in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanlevel.com\/en\/digital-marketing-dictionary\/digital-marketing-online-marketing\">digital marketing<\/a>\u00a0in Spain. His almost 20 years of experience in the sector\u00a0allow him to explain firsthand the transition we have experienced from the burst of the Internet bubble in 2000 to the current moment and, therefore, the steps we must follow to have a more suitable online strategy.<\/p>\n<p>But before leaving you in his hands, I would like to briefly explain the context in which we move, to help you better understand the rest of the book and how necessary it is to have a well-armed digital strategy.<\/p>\n<p>In these years, we see how the business models of well-consolidated industries, such as tourism, music, cinema, the press, and many other sectors, have completely changed. New communication strategies, sources of income, and &#8220;actors&#8221; make up a very different panorama. For these and other reasons particular to each industry, we see that the companies that comprise them are going through a full crisis. Instead of trying to anticipate changes, they have let the situation deteriorate little by little and are trying to make the previous model work in the current context.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is it so hard for them to adapt to the new times?<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Because they refuse to lose the income it produced for them.<\/li>\n<li>Because these industries need structural changes that are not easy to implement.<\/li>\n<li>For not finding a model profitable enough to maintain the current structures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Simply because they don&#8217;t know how to evolve their industry (I&#8217;m not saying it&#8217;s easy).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trying to make a model from the past work in the current one is like trying to win a car race with a horse.<\/strong>\u00a0No matter how much you have the best horse, how much you train daily, etc., cars are always going to beat you. In industries as established as cinema, few dare to bet on new models. In August 2013, directors of the stature of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas or prominent actors like Kevin Spacey dared to\u00a0give their vision on the future of film and television. They bet on a cinema closer to the spectacle of a theater or an opera or on a television that offers control to the user.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exhausted Online Models<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps, due to the determining role of the Internet in so many changes and the speed with which it evolves, we have not stopped to think that the Internet, like other industries, must be renewed to adapt to the new situation. Almost every week we see articles announcing the death of one of the online channels, a tool, a social network&#8230;\u00a0<strong>On one hand, they may be right, but on the other, they are not.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>They are right<\/strong>\u00a0that if we replicate the strategies that worked 10-15 years ago, the results are not good. But at the same time they are not right, because if we do it properly they do work. For example, if we design a display campaign (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.humanlevel.com\/en\/digital-marketing-dictionary\/banner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">banners<\/a>) in the traditional way (standard planning, creative, and ad server), the results are usually mediocre. But if we design the campaigns by studying historical results, planting cookies, doing Real-Time Bidding, retargeting, designing optimized landing pages, doing testing to discover new options, and designing optimized creatives, the results change completely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The conclusion is that the banner is not dead. But the reality is that the effort we must make for it to work is high.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Doesn&#8217;t it give you the feeling that the history of many online channels is starting to look like that of the horse that wanted to win a car race? We\u00a0have to launch new techniques and optimize each step to the maximum to get closer to the results we obtained before. In some cases, it means that, after the initial boom, strategies and\/or channels find their place (as is happening with social networks), and in others it is a symptom of pure exhaustion (business models based on advertising income).<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, we continue to use\u00a0<strong>advertising models<\/strong>\u00a0that are outdated,\u00a0<strong>online sales processes<\/strong>\u00a0that are still complicated for many users (n steps, registrations, validations, complicated home delivery, data security, etc.),\u00a0<strong>revenue models<\/strong>\u00a0feasible only for a few (income based on banner campaigns which, as we have seen, are complicated to make work), etc.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Internet Has Changed and We Must Adapt<\/h3>\n<p>This evolution in the way of doing advertising, the change in the way users use the Internet, social networks, smartphones\u2014there are many causes that make the Internet look very little like what it was 20 years ago, I would even say 10.<\/p>\n<p>To reach our audience, it is no longer enough to launch a powerful display campaign and have a good active SEM campaign (how it sounds like the speech &#8220;with a TV ad in prime time you impacted 90 percent of your audience,&#8221; right?).\u00a0<strong>Audiences have fragmented, they have changed their way of consuming media, of communicating with each other and with brands.<\/strong>\u00a0This change means that brands must modify the way they reach their audience. They must move from models based on large-volume advertising campaigns to being<em>\u00a0always\u00a0on<\/em>; they have to become\u00a0<strong>connected brands<\/strong>. This need translates into strategies having to consider the three types of online media:\u00a0<strong>paid, earned, and owned<\/strong>, known as\u00a0<strong>media convergence strategies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>By using the three channels, we change the previous single-channel approach, in which brands went to look for the user (paid media), for another in which brands strive to be present in those places where their audience is found (owned and earned media). These two new pillars are based on content, social media strategies, and SEO optimization.<\/p>\n<p>Over time it is possible that this model ends up becoming corrupted. There will always be people and companies seeking shortcuts to achieve results faster and at a lower cost. So, what can we do to differentiate ourselves from the rest? What can we do to stand out from all the available content?<\/p>\n<p>What always works, the same as when we planned display campaigns in 2013, is:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Doing things well.<\/li>\n<li>Standing out through quality.<\/li>\n<li>Betting on a strategy.<\/li>\n<li>Not imitating the person next to you. Finding your own path.<\/li>\n<li>Staying always alert.<\/li>\n<li>Trying new things looking for better results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>The easy way is faster, but it doesn&#8217;t always take you to your destination.<\/strong>\u00a0The desire, the quality of your work, the search for excellence, will always take you far. If you choose to use shortcuts, to imitate, you will end up being one in a million and you will try to run a car race with a horse.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/tristanelosegui.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trist\u00e1n El\u00f3segui Figueroa<\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Introduction<\/h2>\n<p>In 1995, the Internet finally opened up to commercial content: the World Wide Web ecosystem truly began to develop and expand. Since then, we have witnessed with astonishment the deep impact the Web has had at all levels. An impact that, like any emerging technology, has not been linear but has recorded different speeds of development. Thus, there were companies that immediately launched into the creation of new business models taking advantage of the benefits offered by the Web, while others, more traditional, resisted the Internet earthquake and saw the new medium as a threat to their status of dominance in the market. Today, no economic sector escapes the influence of this network of networks that was born from the accumulation of different technologies, and success or failure of a growing number of companies increasingly depends on the mastery of the new medium.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, the World Wide Web ecosystem\u2014a spiderweb as wide as the world\u2014is, like many other great advances of humanity, the culmination of a series of technologies that start at the very moment when the communication protocols Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol, or in other words, the familiar TCP\/IP, were implemented on the primitive North American communications network called ARPANET. These protocols for the transmission of information packets between different networks (inter-networking) became a standard in 1982 and allowed the interconnection of different communication networks from various countries on which what we know today as the Internet finally developed.<\/p>\n<p>But we would have to wait almost ten years so that, on this communications platform within reach only of universities and institutions, a researcher from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN)\u2014Tim Berners-Lee\u2014developed a new language\u2014HyperText Markup Language: today&#8217;s arch-popular HTML\u2014, a new communications protocol\u2014hypertext transfer protocol or http, with which all Web addresses begin\u2014, a new way of relating information\u2014hyperlinks or links\u2014, and a new way of consulting content\u2014the browser\u2014of which Mosaic was the precursor. He had put the potential of the Internet within everyone&#8217;s reach: the Web was born.<\/p>\n<p>Like companies, we users and consumers also integrated the Internet into our lives in an uneven way: the cost of accessing the Net first, the progressive although uneven geographical expansion of access through broadband connections, and the learning curve of the different Web functionalities for the different age and training segments of the population contributed to drawing a very heterogeneous Internet user profile in its early stages. Today, however, the Internet is the medium par excellence for reaching all types of users regardless of their age, gender, education, geographical location, or purchasing power.<\/p>\n<p>Internet penetration has increased even more with access from mobile terminals, the wide acceptance of social networks, and the adaptation of content to the user&#8217;s local area. It is the trend that has come to be called SoLoMo\u2014Social, Local, and Mobile\u2014and where the greatest growth in the immediate future is predicted.<\/p>\n<p>In effect, the Internet is, first and foremost, evolution at breakneck speed. Trends succeed one another and users rapidly change their usage habits, favoring or denouncing this or that domain, this or that brand, this or that technology, causing dizzying changes in companies&#8217; valuations and deciding in a matter of months whether an idea will succeed or fail.<\/p>\n<p>There are enough examples that speak to the importance of choosing the right moment to launch a novel project online. Both the pioneering companies that were too far ahead of the general public&#8217;s habits and those that resisted change paid dearly for their error. The great dot-com crisis in 2000 showed that not all virtual businesses had guaranteed success. Especially if, as happened frequently, they put the short-term profit of the shareholder before the creation of value for the customer. The fall in the stock market of values associated with online businesses acted, however, as a catalyst: large investment funds, business angels, and venture capital recovered the more traditional analysis of the viability of an online project: market size, competition analysis, break-even point, profit margin&#8230; Despite being a new medium, the economy on the Internet was, as we discovered in the most painful way, subject to the same laws and principles as in the real world.<\/p>\n<p>More than ten years have passed but many companies have not yet discovered the potential that the Internet holds for their sector, for their business. Today it is a fact that a company&#8217;s presence on the Internet is much more than a universally accessible online showcase 24 hours a day: it is a business unit in which it is necessary to invest numerous resources\u2014money, time, effort\u2014, to which we must entrust certain objectives and from which we can expect a return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n<p>And yet, there are still many companies that believe &#8220;being on the Internet&#8221; is limited to having a website hosted on their own domain, having corporate profiles on social networks, and exchanging email messages with customers and suppliers. They update their site designs every two or three years neglecting aspects such as search engine positioning, usability, conversion, traffic analysis, or customer loyalty (not to mention any approach to an ROI calculation). They do not realize that, in reality, when a website&#8217;s programming is finished and it is published online, in the offline world this is equivalent to the moment when the builders have finished the renovation of the premises where we are going to install our store. From that moment on is when the real work begins: you have to fill the store with stock, decide what to put in the window, what products are specially offered, promote the store in the neighborhood where it is located through flyer distribution and radio spots, handle complaints and product exchanges, change the window for the sales, lavish kindness and personalized attention to build customer loyalty, change the window again for the new season&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>All this, which any experienced merchant does almost intuitively without needing to draw up a marketing plan, in many cases is not known how to translate into the online world. There is a gap that makes it difficult for companies or expert professionals in a given sector to know how to take advantage of that experience and translate it optimally to their presence on the Net.<\/p>\n<p>The fundamental objective of this book is to remove, or at least reduce, that gap and help companies, professionals, and entrepreneurs understand the peculiarities of the Internet as a medium, so they can chart their own online marketing plan and thus identify, take advantage of, or create as soon as possible all the possibilities of the Net for their business. Opportunities such as opening new sales channels, probing alternative markets, finding partners, listening to and attending to their customers, or exploring different business avenues in an environment where the deep crisis we are going through has not yet had such a devastating effect as in the traditional economy.<\/p>\n<p>The ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) sector\u2014I resist calling them new technologies\u2014emerges as the most realistic alternative to an economy with a strong dependence on construction, manufacturing, and low value-added services. The Internet can be the engine that returns us to a new cycle of expansion.<\/p>\n<p>Undoubtedly, the Internet represents an enormous opportunity today. Companies that have learned to take advantage of the multiple possibilities it opens have already experienced improvements in competitiveness, the possibility of reaching new markets, establishing partnerships and joint-ventures, and taking advantage of endless synergies that affect all elements of the value chain. We hope your company is one of them. And this is something that starts even before having a website, at the very moment its development begins, and includes all aspects of its design, publication, promotion, operation, analysis, and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What will you find in this book?<\/h3>\n<p>The following pages aim to provide a simple methodology to guide the reader in how to plan a global online presence for the company, with a website functioning as a business unit perfectly aligned with the business strategy and acting as a centralizing node for its different social profiles. A coordinated and focused online presence in which certain resources must be invested to obtain certain objectives and that will generate certain benefits.<\/p>\n<p>First, we will address those aspects to take into account in the creation of a high-performance website: identification of user profiles, selection of functionalities and content, information architecture and usability, accessibility and compatibility, indexability, conversion orientation&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Next, we will review some of the ways to promote the website once published: how to attract quality traffic through organic search engine positioning or by managing sponsored link campaigns; how to measure and improve the conversion of that traffic into profitable customers with proper landing page management; strategies to build customer loyalty through email marketing; and how to take advantage of social networks to develop a closer relationship with our customers and opinion leaders by taking advantage of the viral dynamic of social media as a sounding board for the company&#8217;s virtues and favoring the involvement\u2014engagement\u2014of our most loyal customers in the value chain. There are more strategies in online marketing, but perhaps those cited are the most widely used by freelancers and SMEs, who form the majority of the business fabric and are finding more difficulties in adapting to these promotional media that are already the present.<\/p>\n<p>We will also address the integration of online media with offline media, that is, with promotion in traditional media. What synergies can be created through so-called cross-media marketing and what is the smartest way to decide the allocation of resources in each of the media.<\/p>\n<p>Results control is an essential point in any marketing plan. We will look at how to monitor the main indicators through Web analytics and market analysis, and how to use these indicators to make decisions that continuously improve the performance of your online investment.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, we will look through the window of the future to glimpse what other opportunities are drawn on the always surprising horizon of the Internet.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who is this book for?<\/h3>\n<p>We intend for the following pages to act as a bridge between the tangle of acronyms and technological jargon that frequently saturates Internet-related texts and the world of marketing and business management. Based on a methodology that freelancers, business owners, and executives are familiar with\u2014the marketing plan\u2014we will take a journey through the main strategies that make up online marketing to clarify how objectives are set, how resources are allocated, how problems are diagnosed, what the right strategy is in each case based on the pursued ends, and how success is measured.<\/p>\n<p>You will find this book useful:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>People in management positions.<\/li>\n<li>Marketing managers.<\/li>\n<li>Advertising managers.<\/li>\n<li>Website owners and managers.<\/li>\n<li>Advertising and Marketing Agencies.<\/li>\n<li>Entrepreneurs.<\/li>\n<li>Website programmers and developers.<\/li>\n<li>Online product managers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Nonetheless, we trust that this book will be a starting point for any reader, which can function as a first contact with subjects such as organic search engine positioning, usability, or Web analytics, providing references of verified quality to go deeper into the knowledge of each of these fields. And that, within that wide palette of strategies and tools, it fulfills a backbone role that facilitates the transition of traditional marketing concepts to the Internet sphere in a natural, educational, and intuitive way.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dedication and Acknowledgments<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dedication<\/h3>\n<p>I dedicate this book to my father, Eloy Maci\u00e1 Cuenca (in memoriam), from whom I had the privilege of inheriting and learning that of which I am most proud. Thanks for everything.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Acknowledgments<\/h3>\n<p>I wish to thank Trist\u00e1n El\u00f3segui, one of the most renowned Spanish-speaking experts and authors on digital marketing, for his kind acceptance to foreword this book.
