Hello friends
what is gorilla marketing in seo ? and how it is useful as seo point of view.

Thanks

**chrishirst** · 07-11-2010, 04:06 PM

It is NOT Gorilla (as in the large primate) but Guerilla (as in Guerilla warfare) Marketing.

And quite honestly most current "marketers" are not capable of such methods as it relies on being imaginative and surprising with marketing ploys.

Most marketers around currently think that being "unconvential" would be wearing red socks and grey trousers (pants) while begging for links.

There's got to be a "pay peanuts get monkies" angle to this somewhere

oops to me it is a new thing
what is Gorilla Marketing ?
is it blasting some thing in SEO
like huge amount of backlinks in a day or any other method as Gorilla do

**TWD** · 07-30-2010, 11:23 AM

Gorilla Marketing is when you stand outside shopping centers wearing a hairy monkey suit and telling people to buy your product.

I'm pretty sure.

I thought is was when you throw bananas at search engines from the mist. The more search engine algorithms you hit with a banana the higher your banana rank (BR) and the higher your bananas appear in the SERBs (search engine result bananas).

**chrishirst** · 07-30-2010, 07:36 PM

Does throwing the bananas not upset the pigeons?

**vangogh** · 08-03-2010, 04:23 PM

It does, but if your throws are accurate you can disturb the pigeons in such a way that they all land near your site, thus improving ranking.

as stated before, there are two different terms, one is for search engine optimization and the other is an advertising strategy. Guerrilla marketing is about doing revolutionary things for advertising or marketing campaigns, and most of guerilla marketing is done without mass media. And SEO is just for internet, more specific for web pages.

**christaker** · 08-06-2010, 04:09 AM

Guerilla marketing campaigns are unexpected and unconventional, potentially interactive and users are targeted from unexpected places. The purpose of guerrilla marketing is to create a unique and exciting and challenging to generate buzz, and therefore turn viral. It's unconventional because not every SEO uses it since some methods in guerilla marketing are considered black hat.

Geo Meta Tags are a thing of the past, are used for geographical identification in various media such as photographs, websites, RSS feeds and video. They consist of latitude, longitude, distance, area, and various factors related to these areas.

I agree with you, Chris. There are certain methods in Guerilla Marketing that when translated in SEO may be deemed as black hat. However, several years back I came across a book called Guerilla Marketing on the Internet which provides basic tips in online marketing. I don't recommend it for seasoned Webmasters/SEO professionals since it covers the basics, but I'm pretty sure anyone who wants to start learning about the basics of internet marketing will find it very informative.

I have read about it in an e-book that its an unconventional marketing intended to get maximum results from minimal resources. I think it can be a good way of internet marketing.

**johnAnderson** · 08-09-2010, 11:34 PM

Guerilla marketing employs all of the tactics that make SEO a success ... getting your links out there naturally and organically and virally.

**zakhawkins10** · 08-21-2010, 06:58 AM

Guerilla marketing is more about matching wits than matching budgets. Guerilla marketing can be as different from traditional marketing as guerilla warfare is from traditional warfare. Rather than marching their marketing dollars forth like infantry divisions, guerilla marketers snipe away with their marketing resources for maximum impact.
