Man – I spend way too much time on posts like this. Luckily I’m self-employed and no one yells at me – “Bathrober” is another one of my favorite job titles.

I like to call it “Online Advertising” or “Internet Marketing”.

It’s also easier to explain to the uninitiated. Everyone immediately seems to understand at least on a conceptual level what “Online Advertising” probably is. Whenever I say “SEO” they don’t seem to understand what that means.

It lumps the entire Media Planning processes of SEO, SEM, PR, Affiliate Programs, Banner advertising, Etc, under one umbrella.

People love semi-humorous top ten lists. Great link bait. Marketing consultants is a nice name, considering a lot of what SEO is now concerns creativity and traditional viral marketing tasks with new technology.
