Different Between Internet Marketing & SEO ?

Please Explain...
What is the difference between Internet Marketing & SEO.

Thanks

IM = selling using internet
sale, sale, sale, new market - new techniques.
SEO = search optimization of SERPs
not necessarily for sales, i.e for reputation or fun :)

Internet marketing is the term used for marketing a product or service over the internet. Among these promotional methods is search engine optimization, search engine marketing, copywriting, web design, email marketing, mobile marketing, and web 2.0 tactics. Therefore, seo is a major component of internet marketing. Seo involves creating the structure and contents of a website according to search engine requirements in order to encourage higher positioning of the site on the SERPs. These actions will result in getting more targetted traffic from the search engines and more conversions.

Internet marketing mainly deals with doing business online, promoting your product to make a sale for your or for your affiliated sites there by making money from it. People employ different strategies to gain exposure to their product online like article marketing, using social media sites, using adwords etc.. and these methods are even involved in SEO but that doesn’t mean internet marketing and SEO are one and the same in fact they both are different.

The word marketing works the same for Internet based businesses and physical businesses too. It is all based on sales of a product.

SEO in very simple words is like spreading the word around. It may be about a product or information material. It is not purely about the sale.

SEO makes the process of makes your web content more attractive to search engines as well as in driving organic traffic from the visitors and Internet marketing mainly deals with doing business online, promoting your product to make a sale.

I would say internet marketing means new ways to promote your product online. and SEO is to rank your website up at some keyword that you want to target. If I have a website selling baby clothing I would like target the keyword " baby clothing for cheap" and try to optimize my website according to that keyword.

I hope that helps and there many helpful comments on this post that will help you. thanks

Very nice, everyone tried best way and all make sense.

Good sort of information from all of the above, mainly Internet Marketing had so many things to do with marketing strategies, while Seo works really a tough job to compete with so many things to tackle with it.

SEO – Search Engine Optimization is just one way of doing IM - Internet marketing. It is the use of techniques that help to optimize the website for results of searches done online. The term Internet Marketing consists of SEO and many more marketing systems. While SEO is extremely vital, it is part of the whole process when it comes to getting your website noticed by the Intenet surfers.

Internet/Online marketing covers all the appects of marketing that we do on the internet like seo, ppc, email marketing etc, etc....

So you are telling that seo is one of the aspects in internet marketing...

It is yea. Just one part in a big plan. Its one of the first things you do when you create a site, with a product or service. You then optimize the site using seo, and then work on marketing the product or brand.

IM and SEO relying on each other so as to achieve your goal.However SEO is only one small portion of IM, social media marketing also can be part IM plan

Most are getting the wrong idea about internet marketing.

This is what I wrote in another post and it's the truth:

It is an integrated process through which companies build strong customer relationships and create value for their customers and for themselves.

Marketing is used to identify the customer, satisfy the customer, and keep the customer. With the customer as the focus of its activities, marketing management is one of the major components of business management. Marketing evolved to meet the stasis in developing new markets caused by mature markets and overcapacities in the last 2-3 centuries. The adoption of marketing strategies requires businesses to shift their focus from production to the perceived needs and wants of their customers as the means of staying profitable.

The term marketing concept holds that achieving organizational goals depends on knowing the needs and wants of target markets and delivering the desired satisfactions. It proposes that in order to satisfy its organizational objectives, an organization should anticipate the needs and wants of consumers and satisfy these more effectively than competitors.

THAT'S what marketing is.

I don't see how SEO or unique content has anything to do with "marketing". Let alone... Google.
Yes, you definitely need to put in a lot of effort...most put all their efforts into the wrong things though.

If you're starting what most call "internet marketing", make sure you know what you're starting exactly.
Personally I call it an "online business", because that's how you should start looking at whatever you're doing (or trying in most cases) to make money online.

This lack of marketing and business knowledge is why so many fail...and fail again.
No matter how good the idea is...

And I can aomst hear you thinking: "OH NOOOO...MORE HARD WORK !?"
Yes...a lot of hard work if you want to achieve something online.
SEO and marketing isn't even everything yet you need to excute correctly to be successful...it's just part of a much bigger picture most can't seem to grasp.
