Google’s attempt to penalise ad-heave pages: surely raise a storm!

Now our much celebrated, much acclaimed and highly sought after search engine is set to tighten its reins! A recent Google Panda updates announced that Google might stop the site that are really ad-heavy. It might bar the sites plastered with ads and link pages. Google’s Matt Cutts was heard confirming our doubts by urging the site owners to revisit their sites just in case the advertisements there, obscures the content. In his opinion, this imbalance could annoy and distract the user. Though we could not disagree with this recent development, but it sure to raise a hue and cry in the web community! And viola! It surely stirred its own storm. Google has been criticised as deceitful and difficult by the opinion makers!

But is the noise of the soup maker reaching the high Ivory Castle? Google is questioning smaller sites with ad-heavy pages. Then why overlook the bigger ones? For all the major sites were hit by Panda and were asked to re-adjust themselves. Though the powerful kings and major land-holders such as Yahoo!, MSNBC, WSJ, Forbes, The Washington Post, The New York Times, Mashable, The Huffington Post, and Techcrunch etc. we asked to accommodate, but Google’s penalising them is a far-fetched idea! What’s more, Google itself permits 3 blocks of Adsense (the Google ad network) on any page. So will the search giant punish its own ad users?

We don’t know if we can say yes; especially in the light of the fact that the sites displaying Adsense on their homepage did pretty well. Though the dictation from the Lord of keeping the site content heavy with lot lesser advertisements is quite an utopia, but is it really ideal & practical? Majority of websites require some monetization to stay afloat, particular the big operations like newspapers and major industry expert sites. The monopolistic tirade is getting a little more over-powering now, so we suggest instead of the lord tying the rings, it is about time that the web community collectively works out some standards on the use of advertising banners and links, and submits the recommendations to Google. That will also help us resolve the ambiguity in the rules for the big & the small fish!

Content Management on E-Portals: A specialized activity!

Electronic media finds tie ups with various brands and products that wished to be displayed on the internet, and a group of content writers who write about these products waiting to be promoted. That is how partnerships on local media are made and managed. E-portals act as a bridge in the consumers of all goods & services and the site’s administration. Through an online portal the producers of goods & services are able to share latest information on all products seeking content’s as their tool-kit. E-media thrives on inter-operable business for the media content management. The content distribution is the required part of the e-Media partnerships, along with the back-end fulfilment systems and integration of the applications.

How content works?
Content is handled in a standardized format. It is put in the system and requires the special approach for catalogue and storage. The staff usually then does the content management. They allocate the data systematically! The content management team does a quantitative analysis of the media and data available, and then they standardize& decide on the type of protocols to be used in the e-media for appropriate e-portal development. This defines the quality standards and the list of the local media to be shared.

All the data is made customizable and dynamically configurable so that the web service works effectively. E-Media-specific data is handled separately, including the meta-data, status information and of course performance metrics. All the data is stored in a central repository for the media content management. Then the software professionals get into meticulous research to with the list of hosted media to link it properly to gather all the relevant information the user may need or they might require to promote it online. That is how the content work flows in an electronic media company!

Online Marketing and Your Business

Why do so many individuals and businesses go for online marketing? Well, what if you could advertise your business to millions, if not hundreds of millions, of people worldwide for a low cost? What if you could easily target your advertising by demographic, whether it be age, geographic region, or interest? Would you jump at the chance to reach so many potential customers?

Prior to the Internet and online marketing, the only way to reach a large number of people was by producing a television commercial and paying to have it air on a popular channel. Not only is it prohibitively expensive to create a commercial when you have a small, local business, but it costs a lot to air it on one channel, let alone several. And if you’re an individual who sells products or services, there is no way a television spot is in your budget.

That’s why many people turn to online marketing. With the power of the internet, advertising is cheap, yet reaches more people than ever before. In some cases, internet marketing can even be free—like if you create an SEO optimized blog to advertise your product or service, or when you create a Facebook page for your product or tweet about it.

It’s easy to network on the internet. Many bloggers are willing to advertise your products or services for free if they agree that your product is high quality and in line with the interests they blog about. Other bloggers will “plug” you if you do the same for them in return on your blog. Another way to do online marketing for free is to find chat rooms and communities that revolve around an interest related to your product—for example; if you create hand-crafted stuffed animals, you could join an online community for new mothers—and see if the rules allow you to post an ad. Even if they don’t, there is usually nothing wrong with joining the community and contributing, then mentioning off-hand that you run a business that is related to the community’s interest.

As online marketing becomes more and more popular, there are more paid options as well. These options are still cheaper than traditional advertising, but reach a lot more people. Google Adwords is a way to use the power of the world’s most famous search engine to reach new customers, and many sites sell banner space in sidebars around the main text. This lets you target your audience by advertising on sites related to your business, where more people are likely to be interested in your services.

It’s obvious that the online marketing phenomenon is only going to grow. Many companies have jumped on the bandwagon by offering incentives to customers who ‘like’ them on Facebook or follow them on Twitter. These incentives prompt customers to join e-mailing lists, which allows companies to market to them directly using the internet to promote new products.

All in all, online marketing is no longer a niche that any business, large or small, can afford to ignore.

How to make money online

The internet is the new office and there are countless benefits to working online, the most lucrative prospect being the potential to make money. It is convenient to log on from anywhere in the world (your bed, holiday home or public transport) and surf the internet to find a way to increase your earnings.

The internet is popular among writers wanting to share their opinions and experiences with the rest of the world. This is most commonly done in the form of blogs where anybody can read the ramblings of the author. There are also ways to make money instead of being a struggling writer. Websites such as Twitter determine popularity by the number of followers and this writing can lead to a steady income if enough people look at the page. There are people who have become household names by using the internet to promote themselves. Another way to make money is to use advertise your desktop publishing and graphic designing skills to create documents, brochures or advertising material for a business that does not wish to do marketing themselves.

The internet is not only a platform for the creative person as there are sites dedicated to selling items and auctions. There is no need to sell your body, but stranger things have been auctioned and sold online, such as toe nail clippings, hair and memorabilia. It is useful to make money from unwanted items, antiques or handmade items and the virtual shop does not need a rental. Reselling is similar to the physical shop environment without the extra staff or hassle and the internet becomes the platform to sell. It is an immediate exchange where the internet bank charges are minimal and the postage will be the only extra cost. Websites such as eBay provides a platform to buy items with the view of selling it again and the potential buyers bid in the item and the highest bidder will be awarded the item after payment is made online.

There are companies that pay for people to complete surveys online and participate in research and there are also email marketing campaigns where you can send bulk emails and get paid for it. This is all part of the internet marketing boom. Although, you will have to use your own internet account and bandwidth, it is better than being unemployed. Affiliate marketing starts with an individual joining the affiliate program of an online company and then promoting the product or service of the company to their contacts or random people. This is a good way to earn commission.

Every day there are new methods of generating income that is being introduced on the internet. An example is Club Bing, which is a program developed by Microsoft that pays you to play. Online games can be tested and played as a way to promote the Bing search engine. This is just one of the ways to keep busy on the internet and make it your business. There are many people who have made the internet their office and the computer their boss.

If your idea is to make money online, our e-Commerce solutions help our clients provide the highest levels of quality and service required for competitive differentiation.

The Potential of Online Video Advertising: giving newer meaning to Social Media Optimization

Youtube has created a new frontier in the media world. Short videos are now consumed on a regular basis by almost anyone, and thanks to 3G technology, almost anywhere. With so many people watching so many videos all the time, advertisers are circling like sharks in the ocean to try and tap the market. The potential is huge—if done properly, online video advertising could reach hundreds of thousands of viewers in a week. In fact, the potential of online video advertising is larger than just about any other form of reaching customers. So, how come you don’t see more online video advertising splashed all over the videos you watch every day? After all, most of the text articles you search are covered in ads, since many people monetize their blogs that way (and many content sites pay their contributors and earn their way with ads.) But when you call up a video on Youtube, 99 times out of 100 you don’t have to sit through ad spots or mini-commercials. Why aren’t more people taking advantage of this incredible opportunity?

Well, for one, it’s hard to stay ahead of the game. Thanks to social media, videos go viral extremely fast, and then once everyone has seen them and shared them, they aren’t really watched again. Advertisers know that once a video is popular it’s too late to put together an ad to slap on it, and before a video is popular there’s no guarantee that it will ever be popular.

Online Video Advertising Solutions
Like every problem, this can be solved. Youtube, for one, could have advertisers purchase ad credits and create an ad spot. As soon as a video starts to greatly increase in hits in a certain period of time a video ad could automatically be applied to it. For example, say a video only got 100 hits in its first week on Youtube, but then it starts to go viral. A simple algorithm could detect that the frequency of hits was accelerating when the video went from 100 hits to a couple thousand in a single day, and automatically apply the ad, so that it would be seen by (probably) hundreds of thousands or millions of people by the end of a week or so.

So far, online advertisers do not seem to be thinking this big. Most are settling for finding steady, popular content, like webcasts, that have a regular audience, and inserting advertising there. Others are relying on product placement, like a popular video blogger that is always seen drinking a certain brand during his videos. The point is, no matter what method you use, the potential for reaching customers is huge, especially if you run an online business where your services are available worldwide. How many people watch online videos, and then email links to everyone they know, or post a link on Twitter or Facebook? Online video advertising is an idea that hasn’t yet been used well, and it’s wide open for someone to figure out the best way to do it.

Being new, video media has scope for endless experimentation. Also, it allows you another way to circulate your popularity online.

How Google AdWords Can Help You Get Traffic

Having a hard time getting your website out there? If you offer high quality goods or services but you can’t quite seem to reach enough people cheaply and quickly, you could probably benefit from the Google Adwords advertising program. Google Adwords lets you reach a far larger number of potential customers than a newspaper ad, and is far cheaper than running a commercial on television.

If you’ve ever used Google, you have probably noticed that in a sidebar separate from your main search results are sponsored ads that also fit what you are searching for. Google uses its second-to-none search optimizing algorithms to find the advertisements closest to what you’re looking for. So, if you’re searching for a business or service, you can easily click on any of the ads and find what you’re looking for, from cheap plumbers to custom wedding cakes.

What does this mean for you as a service provider? It means lots of conversions. The people searching for your services see them clearly, and are directed to your page. The number of people who spend time on your site increases, which in turn increases your Google search ranking for your page in Google’s regular search results. Remember that cheap SEO tactics that fool people into coming to your site backfire in the long run, because a large number of viewers who bounce right back off of your page hurts your rankings. It is much better to attract fewer people who stay and browse your page. Of course, it’s also much better to actually get customers from your page views!

Google Adwords is simple to use, and has step by step instructions all the way. You can set up keywords that will trigger your ad to appear (when people search for them) so you are able to customize the traffic you will get from your ad dollars. There are also many other ways to filter who sees your ad, which is great for local businesses. After all, there’s not much sense in people in Tokyo seeing your ad if your only two locations are in Nebraska!

There are many well-known companies that have successfully established their brands in new areas, or drastically improved their conversion rates through using Google Adwords. Small businesses and even individuals offering goods or services find it easy and cost-effective to use Google Adwords because you only pay when people click on your ad. You set the amount you wish to pay and your ad stops running when you run out of credit. It’s that simple.

A Google Adword is a very simple and inexpensive way to advertise your business. There are restrictions—for example, Google will not allow you to advertise anything illegal, or have your ad link to a page that offers illegal or unethical services. If you write academic papers for others (as an example) you may not advertise this service, as the recipients of your services are committing academic plagiarism.

So make your business a success even on a limited advertising budget with Google adwords.

Why E-Commerce is Good for Your Business

E-Commerce has been around for far longer than you might think. Today, a lot of business is dominated by the Internet, and many people view E-commerce as buying, selling, or trading goods and services online. In reality, anything that involves electronics (the “E” in E-Commerce) to assist a retail transaction is E-Commerce. This includes anything that isn’t the traditional way of purchasing something; for example: going to the bank, receiving money from a teller, and travelling to a physical store where you exchange cash for a good or service.

Anything that involves ordering or processing over the phone, using an ATM, or paying with a credit card counts as E-Commerce, but we are so used to those things now that they seem quaint in comparison to the power of the mighty internet. So many customers find it easier to purchase goods online that business must maintain a strong online presence if they wish to compete.

The days of the friendly mom and pop shop that relied on friends and neighbours for business are almost gone. Although you can still find small, primarily brick and mortar stores, even small businesses usually have some way for a customer to place an order online, or at the very least they have a website. Any time a business uses electronics to market their goods, or advertise their services in any way is engaging in E-Commerce. So, you might not be able to book a massage with your favourite therapist online, but if she has a website explaining and advertising her services she in engaging in E-commerce. And of course, any store that takes credit cards as a form of payment is using E-Commerce too. E-Commerce is everywhere, and is good for your business.

Obviously no business today can thrive without some form of E-commerce. Just try to imagine a business who tried to avoid E-commerce. They would not be able to accept debit or credit cards as a form of payment. Obviously doing this helps a business because many customers prefer these methods, and are likely to spend more. This business would not be able to advertise online, or offer any advice or help over the phone either. Any customer who had a question would have to physically come to the store. How many customers would you lose if you did that? And don’t forget, you wouldn’t be able to order any of your products online, pay for them with a credit card, or have invoices sent to you electronically. You would have to go to your supplier, order your items in person, pay with them in cash, and keep a large back room of paper files to keep track of orders and purchases. Doesn’t sound very efficient, does it?

No one is saying that you have to start shipping orders to New Zealand from your tiny brick and mortar store in Arkansas in order to be successful. But E-commerce is faster and more efficient that trying to live without it, so all businesses have embraced some form of it. E-Commerce is good for your business as you will have access to more customers, bring in more revenue, and be able to keep track of your transactions more quickly and easily.

Smaller organizations, to ensure that they keep their chin-up in such a competitive environment, and to keep in pace with their more affluent counterparts, are outsourcing their IT work to offshore software centres. Customised application development and Mobile application development are the trends that every IT firm is thriving upon!  Yet there is a huge market that is still untapped. For example, mobile applications are still to reach and benefit those who are technicians in plants, executives on move, who are handling process inefficiencies etc. Extending the reach of backend IT applications to the corporate world, Mobile applications are really assisting.

In today’s world, with ever increasing acceptance of mobile application in the world, the users can leverage these more accessible devices to access more information in less time span. This makes lives easy and less time-consuming. Also, the biggest beneficiaries are the remote workers, people who otherwise find it a real challenge to stay in reach or find connectivity a great challenge due to critical far-off activities! Some of the extended benefits of mobile applications are:

1. Mobility : The real time activity of Mobile applications, Mobility is the real value of mobile applications. The best advantage that mobile applications have over traditional computers is that they can be used anywhere and at any place.

2. Smooth Administration : Workers in the field can generate work orders directly. Work-order processing is simplified because transaction is not manual and can be routed automatically to the appropriate backend.

A Study clarifies that the number of twitter followers has got nothing to do with the number of followers!

Previously, a person’s influence on Twitter was thought to correlate directly to the number of followers. However, the myth has been clearly uprooted now! Since, IT is clear now that advertisers even pay popular Tweeters to post ads in their Tweets. But, according to a new study having many followers does not make a Tweeter influential and could not be described as an effective social media marketing strategy. Taking from the study, it supports the fact that the number of Twitter followers is meaningless. “Popular users who have a high in degree [number of followers] are not necessarily influential in terms of spawning retweets or mentions,” Cha writes, quoted in the Harvard Business Review.

One cannot really rely on the huge number of twitter followers to guarantee good business for oneself. Various other factors need to be considered while using twitter for business.

From ‘E’ to ‘F’…Dramatic rise in facebook consumers!

What the Facebook!

An all reverberating name, on the tongue of young or old, is Facebook. There is hardly a kid who does not know ‘Farmville’, a girlie who is not addicted to ‘It Girl’or a yuppie, who has not planned a weekend get-away of a dinner in its several threads! Facebook is the way of life for young or old. Ha, if theorems and numbers validate anyone’s prowess, facebook has surely out-numbered China and India. For, if numbers are true, facebook has in totality 500 million members, the count growing even when we are talking! Also, it makes FB the most inhabited next to the two most thickly populates countries. That means, facebook reaches out to a majority of Web users.

A study by an eminent University claims that in America, 13.25 million users use this site; it reaches nine of ten social network users along with 59% of all internet users. Realizing an opportunity by smelling enormous rats here, of all shapes and sizes, the marketers have capitalized on the given stance! Yes, for if you frequent FB, you really do know what it is to “like” anything there. It almost means that you take pride in that product or service, claiming publicly that it does you proud. Putting it all together, it has become a dominant voice and a global force in opinionating any monetary transactions!

It is this wave that has led to Facebook’s staggering growth and success, paving way for the rise of social commerce and therefore, social media optimization. And it is nice to claim, that social media with its current rating, performance and popularity is already pushing e-commerce to descend! For decades, critics have used internet as a mode of discussion and critique for all the brands or products.

Arrival E-Commerce

Sharing of videos, articles, blog-postings and comments led to actual commerce taking place electronically. It became more efficient and rewarding too for corporates, since it reached out a wide and global audience. Since the criticism and applause both, sprung from a trustworthy user’s mouth, it worked wonders for credibility without much investment into Public Relations. Shopping - by its very nature - is a social act and it was only a matter of time it became prevalent throughout the e-commerce world. The face of internet commerce changed so rapidly that people started to lean of online opinions, videos and foreword. And now, it's hard to sell anything online if you don't let your customers’ rate, review and share their collective experiences.

Arrival Facebook

The scenario changed to social media when the Facebook, an online social networking portal placed a ‘like’ button, against all people, products, content brands, and commodities. This became the game-changing move.

For Facebook now had all the information from across the Web and mobile channels about what people like (along with who they are, where they live and who they are connected to). This was a huge deal that every business paid attention to! For not only did people share their opinions on the facebook thread but also built loyalty, shaping trust and character around the brand via the platform. They engaged with and connected to one-another freely, and the tussle became figuring out how to change those opinions into a sale!

Facebook = Shopo-line now!

That is how all the brands slowly entered the bandwagon and started making their facebook presence felt. The popularity that facebook credit coins gained was phenomenal, leading to another wave of social media marketing. Picking from this, a lot of other social networking sites starting creating their own value points!

The Math

Facebook’s around 600 million members, with their own currency system termed as ’Facebook Credits’. It is the default monetary system used on the Facebook platform, where the brands are openly discussed and engaged and most of brands are paying huge premium amounts to sell themselves. Facebook extends itself to every other arena of social presence or digital space like (websites, blogs, smartphones, etc.). People have built a certain level of trust and security in Facebook Credits.

Have you seen the Best Buy Facebook Page? If you look at the navigation, you'll note a tab titled, "Shop + Share." The internet strategy behind this idea is that a consumer need not leave their facebook page to enjoy a Best Buy experience. Best Buy understands this new world of consumer engagement. Now you can buy from Best Buy and even share your experience with your online social network without ever leaving Facebook.

The latest funniest bet of F-Commerce is Pampers from P&G. Last year they have joined the fray by ensuring that parents do not have to leave Facebook even to buy diaper for their kids. The brand choice of Pampers for P&G is interesting as the CPG giant constantly leverages its own data and analytics to develop the most ideal marketing outcomes. This clearly conveys that those who think ‘Facebook is just a bunch of university students trying to hook up and make merry’ are highly wrong and underestimated in their opinion!

Facebook has long crossed those barriers to become a stage where all the eyeballs are, with 600+ million users, 50 percent of these visitors visiting daily creating a huge f-marketing platform! SO you now know where you need to be for more than half the world to know you!!
