Inbound Marketing
An approach to web-based marketing that emphasizes attracting people to your site, and its products and services, through informational content that is searched and shared.
This is in juxtaposition to paid marketing, which pays money to present ads and similar placements in order to draw people to your site. In an inbound marketing model, organic search traffic is the primary driver of traffic to many key pages.
