Search engine optimization
Search engine is like phonebook. People use them to find products and services that they are looking for. Your website needs to be optimized based on some specific keywords and phrases you want to rank for in the search engines.

However, if you choose the right keyword combinations with the least competition, you can have your website on the first page too. And the result is automatic incoming traffic.
Pay per click advertisement
PPC or pay per click advertisement is an Internet marketing formula used to price online advertisements. In PPC programs the online advertisers will pay Internet Publishers the agreed upon PPC rate when an ad is clicked on, regardless if a sale is made or not.
Large companies frequently use social media to buy clicks that direct users to a landing page. Landing pages allow site owners to market a specific discount, item, or service in exchange for the users email address. The site owner will later use that email to send out newsletters and other promotions to try and get the user to buy something from their website.
