<description><![CDATA[Jim Carey - kind of - in A Christmas Carol I’m lucky. My job lets me play with words and language in]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 580px"><img alt="" src="http://screencrave.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/Picture-217.jpg" width="570" height="332" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Jim Carey - kind of - in A Christmas Carol</p></div>
<p>I’m lucky. My job lets me play with words and language in all kinds of situations and all kinds of voices. I write scripts and I write copy. I write comedy and drama. I even wrote a BBC TV series for teenagers learning German. In German. And I don’t speak German. </p>
<p>But even for a freelance writer who prides himself on being flexible and practical, there’s nothing that deadens the heart more than being asked in a meeting what I know about Search Engine Optimization (SEO). It’s not the writer’s distaste for an unfriendly acronym, or the American “z” spelling. After all, any decent copywriter could come up with a better phrase that describes the search optimisation process in more human terms. (Search-flirting. Google Tease. Something like that.)</p>
<p>No, what grates is the fact that SEO copy is writing that’s designed to be read not by humans, but by computer algorithms. (Or, as we used to call them, robots.) Search Engine Optimization involves writing words that will appeal to search engines like Google and Bing, which makes it invaluable when you’re trying to appear as high as possible in a Google result, but makes it unreadable when you finally click through to the page. </p>
<p>Good writing engages you.</p>
<p>It might be simple and practical, stripped clean of fancy and redundancy to give you precisely what you want to know. It might be poetic and emotional, designed to connect with a memory or a dream. Either way, it communicates with you as a living breathing individual human person, with your own likes and tastes and haircut.</p>
<p>The text that Google likes best is clunky, repetitive and dead. If you run a business, having your homepage Search Engine Optimized can be like having your reception staffed by a CGI motion-captured 3D animation (that&#8217;s Jim Carey up there, apparently). Creepy.</p>
<p>Click on an SEO expert like <a href="http://www.bruceclay.com/">Bruce Clay</a> to see what I mean. As I say, I love reading, and I love words but even I can’t be arsed to plough through all that lot. Can you? </p>
<p>OK, I guess &#8220;Bruce&#8221; is really good at his job because his is, by all accounts, the No 1 most effective Search Engine Optimized Search Engine Optimization site. </p>
<p>But, come on. AAA111 Taxis might be first in the phone book, but if they turn up with a rusty Vauxhall Vectra and a serial killer smile, you’re better off walking.</p>
<p>So yes, to answer the question, I can write copy that‘s Search Engine Optimized. But no, I am not an expert in it, because I’m not a robot, I’m a writer.</p>
<p>(And, by the way, have I told you how much I like your hair like that?)</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div>
<div>As I&#8217;ve worked with many small business owners over the last few years, I&#8217;ve developed some lines that seem to work well. Of course I won&#8217;t be sharing those lines that didn&#8217;t seem to work so well <img src='http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':-(' class='wp-smiley' /> </div>
<div> </div>
<div>But here are a few pieces of advice related to a Website for you to take, or leave, as you see fit. </div>
<div> <br />
<strong>1. A Website is Not a Marketing Plan:<br />
</strong>A Website should support your marketing plan. By itself, a Website is not a marketing plan. Within your <em>&#8220;written&#8221;</em> marketing plan, you should have a section on how you plan to use the Website to help your business.</p>
<p><strong>2. Spend More Time and Money Getting People to Your Website, than You do on Your Website Build:<br />
</strong>In most cases, utilize more time and budget getting people to your Website than you spend on the build of your Website. Once you have a thriving business going, dedicate more budget to your site.<br />
 <br />
<strong>3. Build the Site for Your Consumer, Not You the Business Owner:<br />
</strong>As you build a Website, always consider first what the consumer needs from your Website, before you consider what you the a business owner want on your site. <br />
 </div>
<div><strong>4. A Website Supports Your Brand, It Does Not Establish Your Brand: <br />
</strong>Ouch!! All the brand and graphic focused Web designers out there hate me for this statement. Sorry, but a Website can only support your brand. By itself it doesn&#8217;t establish a brand.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><strong>5. New Customers or Existing Customers:</strong> <br />
Most of us small business owners have two kinds of customers. New customers or existing customers. Which of these two customer types makes you more money? Once you&#8217;ve answered that question, look at your Website and see which customer type it better supports. If you&#8217;re building a new Website, and you have a limited budget, spend that limted budget making the Website support the customer type that&#8217;s going to make you the most money.</div>

<description><![CDATA[Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, strikes back at Rupert Murdoch in an op-ed piece in the Wall Street Jou]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><img class="alignright" src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c2/Rupert_Murdoch_-_WEF_Davos_2007.jpg/225px-Rupert_Murdoch_-_WEF_Davos_2007.jpg" alt="" width="95" height="142" />Eric Schmidt, CEO of Google, strikes back at Rupert Murdoch in an <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704107104574569570797550520.html" target="_blank">op-ed piece</a> in the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> (which is owned by Rupert Murdock by the way). Before we get to the good stuff I&#8217;ll quickly explain who Rupert Murdoch is for those who don&#8217;t know.  He owns lots of media outlets (Newspapers, Magazines, Radio Stations, TV Networks, Cable &#38; Internet Companies etc.) He is the founder, a major shareholder, chairman and managing director of <a title="News Corporation" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_Corporation">News Corporation</a> (News Corp).  He&#8217;s been in the news lately because he wants to ban Google from searching his sites and has been trying to make an agreement with Bing (Microsoft).  I don&#8217;t think he should be able to control the message people can and cannot hear.  I think and I hope he loses big on this!</p>
<blockquote><p>With dwindling revenue and diminished resources, frustrated newspaper executives are looking for someone to blame. Much of their anger is currently directed at Google, whom many executives view as getting all the benefit from the business relationship without giving much in return. The facts, I believe, suggest otherwise.</p>
<p>Google is a great source of promotion. We send online news publishers a billion clicks a month from Google News and more than three billion extra visits from our other services, such as Web Search and iGoogle. That is 100,000 opportunities a minute to win loyal readers and generate revenue—for free. In terms of copyright, another bone of contention, we only show a headline and a couple of lines from each story. If readers want to read on they have to click through to the newspaper’s Web site. (The exception are stories we host through a licensing agreement with news services.) And if they wish, publishers can remove their content from our search index, or from Google News.</p></blockquote>
<p><img class="alignright" src="http://www.ieplexus.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/google-founders.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="225" />here’s even better stuff:</p>
<blockquote><p>It’s understandable to look to find someone else to blame. But as Rupert Murdoch has said, it is complacency caused by past monopolies, not technology, that has been the real threat to the news industry.</p></blockquote>
<p>Kudos to the <em>WSJ</em> for running the piece—assuming some editor didn’t lose his or her job for doing this. I just can’t wait to watch Google and News Corp go at it.</p>

<p>Over the last one and half years, I have made more than half dozen unique presentations. Anyone who&#8217;s seen these knows that one of my signatures is an attempt at humor. For no other reason than to share, I have collected some of these below as :-</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_83" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 478px"><a href="http://orissaseo.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/animated_468x601.gif"><img class="size-full wp-image-83" title="Increase Your Rank" src="http://orissaseo.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/animated_468x601.gif" alt="" width="468" height="60" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Prakash</p></div>
<p style="text-align:center;">
<p>We have discussed on many occasions the fact that Google does care for SEO and that optimized sites rank better in its search results. Today, we’ll highlight the three most important on-page SEO techniques described in this guide – all well-known aspects by experienced SEOs, but important information for those less familiar with what we call “white hat SEO” (SEO techniques that are approved and recommended by the search engines).</p>
<h4>Create unique, accurate page titles</h4>
<p>The page title is probably the most important on-page SEO aspect – often ignored by many webmasters. Ideally you should have a unique title for each page on your site, as pages with identical titles tend to be treated as “duplicates” by Google (the search engine will only display one of the pages in its results, indexing the duplicates as “supplemental results.”)</p>
<p><img title="A properly optimized page title as recommended by Google." src="http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/title-seo.png" alt="A properly optimized page title as recommended by Google." width="500" height="174" /></p>
<p>The best practices for page title tags are common sense: choose a title that communicates the content of the page and avoid using titles like “untitled” or titles that have nothing to do with the content. Last, but not least: avoid stuffing keywords in your title tags, and avoid ALL CAPS titles.</p>
<p>Another important aspect: if the title is too long (usually more than 60 characters), is that Google will only show a snippet in the search results.</p>
<h4>Make use of the “description” meta tag</h4>
<p>This is the second most important on-page SEO element (when it comes to what is getting indexed by the search engines). Google might use this as a snipped for your page in the search results – as sometimes Google may choose to use a snippet from your page’s visible text if it matches better the user’s query. Alternatively, if your site is listed in the Open Directory Project, Google might use the description provided there. If you want to prevent Google and other search engines from displaying ODP data, you should add the following meta tag to your pages: &#60;meta name=”robots” content=”NOODP”&#62; (this will only prevent search engines that support meta tags from displaying ODP data).</p>
<p><img title="A meta description example by Google." src="http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/meta-description.png" alt="A meta description example by Google." width="500" height="204" /></p>
<div id="adz">
<div>
<div id="beacon_f0682960d5"><img src="http://adscluster.aws.sitepoint.com/openx/www/delivery/lg.php?bannerid=135&#38;campaignid=51&#38;zoneid=14&#38;loc=1&#38;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fadscluster.aws.sitepoint.com%2Fopenx%2Fadjs.sp.php%3Fregion%3D14%26did%3Dadz%26adtype%3Dvertical&#38;cb=f0682960d5" alt="" width="0" height="0" /></div>
</div>
</div>
<p>Meta descriptions should summarize accurately the page’s content, and you should avoid writing descriptions that are unrelated to the content of the page. You should also avoid using descriptions like “this is a webpage”, too short descriptions and keyword-stuffed descriptions. Copying the entire content of the visible text of your page into the description meta tag is a undesired as well: descriptions should usually be less than 160 characters. As with page titles, meta descriptions should be unique for each page of the site too. Using the same meta descriptions “site-wide” or for a large number of pages could force Google to show only one page in the results, sending the rest in the supplemental results index.</p>
<h4>Improve the structure of your URLs</h4>
<p>Search engine friendly URLs are not a “must” – they are however recommended. Google suggests that these allow for better crawling, and that they appear “friendlier” for those who want to link to your content.</p>
<p>For example, URLs like in the image below can be confusing for the users who would have a hard time memorizing or creating a link to it.</p>
<p><img title="Example of a unfriendly URL" src="http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/unfriendly-url.png" alt="Example of a unfriendly URL" width="523" height="63" /></p>
<p>Some users link to pages using the URL as the anchor text (example below) – if the URL contains relevant words, this will help the search engines and other users more than IDs or other oddly named parameters.</p>
<p><img title="Linking example by Google." src="http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/linking.png" alt="Linking example by Google." width="500" height="93" /><br />
So, an ideal URL uses words instead of numbers, session IDs, and etc. Lengthy URLs are not recommended either, and so are generic page names like “page1.html”. Keyword stuffing in the URLs is not allowed.</p>
<p>It is also very important to provide a single version of a URL to reach a document – to prevent users from linking to one URL, and others linking to a different version (thus splitting the reputation of the content between the URLs). Last but not least: do not mix www and non-www versions of URLs in your internal linking structure.</p>
<h4>More SEO Techniques from Google’s Search Engine Optimization Starter Guide</h4>
<p>This guide describes all major onsite techniques, including site navigation, content, onsite links and best practices for anchor texts, using heading tags appropriately (do not confuse with HTML tags or HTTP headers), image optimization, making use of robots.txt, how and when to use rel=”no follow” attributes for links, how to promote your site the right way and so on. The guide is particularly important because it can save a lot of time, trouble and even money for those who are looking for the “right answers” when it comes to on site SEO: there are no secret formulas, as you will see when reading the guide. In addition to the guide, I recommend that you use Google’s Website Optimizer to check your pages to see what on-page changes will produce the best conversion rates with visitors.</p>
<p>Although the guide doesn’t go in-depth describing how to write catchy page titles, and how to write content that sells, the tips provided by Google are what I like to call “timeless SEO” – rules that will never change. I once compared the job of an SEO to that of a book editor: SEO is editing a site, optimizing it, preparing it for the market.</p>
<p>Every site owner who cares about the content of his/her site, about the navigation and the site structure, about how the images harmonize with the text, and so on, does this type of SEO, although some prefer not to call it that. Regardless of terminology, there can be no better source for information about what a search engine wants from your pages than from the source itself. Using the simple techniques provided in these, combined with easy references like the one you are reading, can only lead to better indexing for your sites. It’s as simple as that! At least for the beginner, it is a great place to start.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><a href="http://smallbizexperts.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/secrets.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1419" title="secrets" src="http://smallbizexperts.wordpress.com/files/2009/12/secrets.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="247" /></a>Have you heard a Web developer tell you they are going to put in all the necessary <strong>secret</strong> keywords to get your Website to show up in Google and Yahoo?</p>
<p>Did you build your own Website using a template or online tool that gives you a field to type in Keywords for the site?</p>
<p>What both of the above things do is put a piece of code behind the page called a META tag. So behind the page, if you were to know where to look, you would see a piece of code that looked like this with the keywords you wanted typed in.</p>
<p>&#8220;&#60;meta http-equiv=&#8221;keywords&#8221; content=&#8221;web site marketing, search engine positioning, search engine optimization, marketing, sales, promotion, strategy, visibility, exposure, banner, advertising, search engines, registration, analysis&#8221;&#62;</p>
<p>Something you should know though is&#8230;&#8230;Google stopped using this method of indexing your site about <strong>two years ago</strong>, and Yahoo stopped using it in October of this year.</p>
<p>There about <strong>15 things</strong> you need to do to the visual  <em><strong>&#8220;Content&#8221;</strong></em> of your Website to get it to show up in Google and Yahoo. There&#8217;s about 10 other very important things you should do outside your Website to get it to show up in Google and Yahoo.</p>
<p>My point with this Blog entry is to not be taken in by applications or Web developers who are going to put in Keywords behind the scenes to get your site to show up in search engines.</p>
<p>Google and Yahoo reward Websites that provide the consumer the <strong>content </strong>the consumer needs to make a decision.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Nobody ever gained from a complicated website. Some of the many questions you have to ask yourself about your website are listed below:</p>
<ul>
<li>When did you last get a make-over done for your website?</li>
<li>Does your site look professional?</li>
<li>Is it difficult to navigate and buy your products?</li>
<li>Will an internet-ignorant person understand your site?</li>
<li>Does your site have some amount of graphics, videos or imagery?</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_516" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 264px"><a href="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dyoung_readmore.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-516 " title="you should...read more" src="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/dyoung_readmore.jpg?w=247" alt="" width="254" height="307" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image credit: designismine.blogspot.com</p></div>
<p>The goal of your site should be ‘conversion’. Your website must be able to foster the decision of those people signing up for your newsletter. It must be also be user-friendly for those who are looking to purchase your product or service. If you have never taken the help of professionals in this matter, ask an <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/testimonials.php"><strong>online marketing firm in Dubai</strong></a> to help you out with the changes you need to make on your site. Professional help is the best help in such scenarios.</p>
<p>Converting visitors to customers is an art and can be done in various ways. Advertising tactics can be implemented before people land on your webpage. <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/social_bookmarking.php"><strong>SEO experts in Dubai</strong></a> can also do much to divert people towards your site. You can even write blogs and articles and have search engine optimizers promote them. But all these tactics ultimately summarize as one point…You may gain a huge number of visitors to your site, but is your site as good as they imagined it to be?</p>
<p>If you haven’t asked <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/sms_messaging.php"><strong><em>Online Marketing Dubai</em></strong></a> for an analysis of the visitors who stayed on your site or bounced back, their behaviours, characteristics and demographics, I suggest you do so soon. Analytics is one of the best ways to shape your site according to visitor’s expectations.</p>

<p>&#160;</p>
<p>There are various techniques for on page optimization that are greatly considered during the search engine evaluation process. The factors are not restricted to title tags, keyword density, headers; Meta tags etc but the structure of links of the website also plays a vital role. Search engine optimization is done to make the site look natural and display valuable information to the visitors. On page optimization is said to be the oxygen of SEO process and can be done with little efforts. All you need to do is to pay attention to the keywords, concentrate on the needs of the users, seek new content and rework on it to fit the search engines.</p>
<p><strong>Few Steps for Better On Page Optimization</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Keyword analysis:</li>
<p>Keyword search is an important part of an SEO campaign and the ranking of the site depends on the best keywords chosen. For this you can hire services of an SEO professional. They are able to identify the right keywords that will attract the search engine spiders and help to get a better ranking.</ul>
<ul>
<li>Quality and updated content:</li>
<p>Fresh and interesting content is always useful to attract the visitors and providing relevant and genuine information is an impressive way to get back the visitors again and again.</ul>
<ul>
<li>Anchor text:</li>
<p>They are click able texts that points to a particular website. They play a vital role in getting the higher ranks with all the major search engines.</ul>
<ul>
<li>Title tags:</li>
<p>They enable the search engines to understand what your website is all about. Placing your main keywords or phrases into your title tag can help you attain a better ranking.</ul>
<ul>
<li>Use of keywords in the Domain name:</li>
<p>While optimizing your website, it is better to keep in mind that using the selected keywords in the domain name is the initial and vital step in creating a website. The domain name should not be too long or too short.</ul>
<p><strong>On Page Optimization</strong>:</p>
<p>On Page Optimization is a technique by means of which your web page gets a high ranking on various Search engines like yahoo, Google MCN etc. On page factors are directly related to the content and structure of the website.</p>
<p><strong>Features of On Page Optimization</strong>:</p>
<p><strong>Title Tag</strong>: This is an area in a web page where the text is placed that shows the title of the website on the very top of the web browser window. Search engines use title tags to make a link in search results.</p>
<p><strong>Meta tag description</strong>: A Meta Tag Description is a part of web page coding that gives the basic description about the website. This should focus on the website because Meta tag description plays a very important role in web page ranking.</p>
<p><strong>Meta Tag Keywords</strong>: Meta Tag Keywords play the similar role as meta tag description for highlighting the importance of a website.</p>
<p><strong>Keyword Density</strong>: A particular percentage of keywords used on a web page are called keyword density. A keyword must be used in a web page from 2% to 8 % for good page ranking. This technique is the backbone of Search Engine Optimization.</p>
<p><strong>URL Structure</strong>: If you want your website to rank well then your URL of website must be related to the context of the website.</p>
<p>Benefits of On Page <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.aninfosolutions.com/seo.php" target="_new">Search Engine Optimization</a>:</p>
<p>When creating or updating a commercial website it should be taken into consideration that the products are made more attractive for the viewers. At the same time it must be taken into account that the ability o gain more exposure with a broader target audience has its own benefits. Most websites need to reach out to a larger target audience in order to enhance their business. On Page Optimization allows a higher page ranking and based on a specific keyword or phrases they enter. This process identifies those keywords that will benefit a particular website and uses them in such a way that it gets a higher page ranking when those keywords are searched.</p>
<p>Most searchers only use first page displayed websites on their searches because this is where the pages with higher page rankings are displayed, which translates into these pages find the highest relevance to their keyword searches. This makes it even more vital that each website comprehends the significance and the knowledge necessary to adapt their websites to benefit from Search Engine Optimization.</p>
<p>An understanding of Search Engine Optimization provides the website a higher ranking in the world of search engines. By taking advantage of optimization techniques, more searchers will gain faster access to the particular website. If the website has something worthwhile to offer then this strategy that should be implemented immediately.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Analytics can be very helpful to your website, blog, online communities and the like. Though <em>Google Analytics </em>is widely known, it is not the only way to measure and analyze the visitors surfing your webpage. Nonetheless, it still is a fair way to do so and is free. But times have now changed and marketing has evolved in every aspect. The tools for analytics have become more apparent and expressive in the form visuals. They are here to help you with <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/directory.php"><strong>internet marketing in UAE</strong></a>.</p>
<div id="attachment_519" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/crazy-egg-heat-maps.png"><img class="size-medium wp-image-519" title="crazy-egg-heat-maps" src="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/crazy-egg-heat-maps.png?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="266" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image credit: www.makeuseof.com</p></div>
<p>Let me introduce you to one of the best visualization tools called the <em>Heatmap</em> by <em>CrazyEgg</em>. This tool easily shows you what’s hot and what’s not on your web page via a heat map. It lights up those spots every visitor has clicked on the page in colours ranging from red (most clicked) to blue (least clicked).</p>
<p>Basically, the heat map tracks all the information on visitor clicks during the allotted period of time and then transforms the visits visually. While this heat map is fascinating to visualize, the results it squeezes out are even more fascinating.</p>
<p>Like the <em>Heatmap</em>, there are other visualization tools for different purposes available in the market like <em>Fidg’t, Digg’s visualization, Twitter’s visualization, Facebook’s visualization, Debategraph,</em> etc.</p>
<p>Visualization just helps you understand your visitors better and helps improve your site. If other analytics tools are difficult for you to understand, visualization tools are the ones for you. Either adopt one, or let an <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/pay_per_click.php"><strong>SEO company in UAE</strong></a> like <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/index.php"><strong><em>Online Marketing Dubai</em></strong></a> inform you about the results.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_513" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/298160434_b48b128202.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-513" title="298160434_b48b128202" src="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/298160434_b48b128202.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image credit: flickr.com</p></div>
<p>Search engines are really helpful especially when it comes to attracting customers to your site. As mentioned in my previous blog, the <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/media_strategy.php"><strong>web marketing service</strong></a> called search engine optimization or SEO is highly important and the 1<sup>st</sup> step to a successful internet business. To back this point, I found some advice from a well-known marketing veteran Lee Williams who also says-</p>
<p>“Google is where most of your customers will start their online journey. Ensuring your website ranks well for your products and/or services is critical. Your first priority is therefore to ensure your site through search engine optimization (SEO).”</p>
<p>Now for other ways to get your site noticed.</p>
<p>Online directories are a great way to draw the attention of promising customers. Here they will already be on the look out for a store within their locality. When they see you fall in that bracket, you win!</p>
<p>Banner ads are another way to promote your trade (for a price). But be careful about how you use them. Therefore, gaining some knowledge about such advertising from <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/directory.php"><strong>internet marketing experts in Dubai</strong></a> is always a better bet. Similarly, Adwords and Pay Per Click also help.</p>
<p>Next up is social media. <em>Facebook, Twitter </em>and <em>Linked In</em> (specifically) can create more awareness about your brand and your online portal as well.</p>
<p>[Traditional online tools like e-mails and newsletters should not be abandoned.]</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_509" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/searching-for-happiness-001.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-509" title="searching-for-happiness-001" src="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/searching-for-happiness-001.png" alt="" width="300" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image credit: 909sickle.com</p></div>
<p>Most of us behold a peculiar sight in and around our neighbourhoods. What I’m referring to are the shops in our localities that are on the verge of closing down. To us it may seem that this visual is the result of the recession period, but the real story may be different. Many of the big brands are doing extremely well. They have stores too. But why are some (small) businesses collapsing? The next logical reason can only be- <em>lack of brand awareness on the internet</em>.</p>
<p>When you come to think of it; the ‘big guys’ in the market have online stores and are very easily bumped into at Google, because of the various <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/results.php"><strong>search engine promotion services</strong></a> they make use of. Thus, for small businesses to get back on the rails, e-commerce is the solution.</p>
<p>People are accustomed towards shopping online. They are also habituated at checking out all that you might have at your store through your online portal, before making an offline purchase. But how do they get to your site if they don’t know you have an online presence? One of the many <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/testimonials.php"><strong>SEO services in Dubai</strong></a> can bring up your site on the commonly used search engines by optimizing your website. As the consumer always begins with a ‘search’ online before making a purchase, SEO becomes the 1<sup>st</sup> online marketing tool small businesses need to take on board.</p>
<p>According to our <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/how_optimize_website.php"><strong>SEO experts</strong></a> at <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/sitemap.php"><strong><em>Online Marketing Dubai</em></strong></a> there’s more to bringing up your website on a search engine.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><div id="attachment_500" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mly0831l.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-500" title="mly0831l" src="http://onlinemarketingdubai.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/mly0831l.jpg?w=300" alt="" width="300" height="279" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Image credit: www.cartoonstock.com</p></div>
<p>If you think your website isn’t doing very well after 3 months of its launch, you might be prey to the common misunderstandings of online marketing/<a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/sitemap.php"><strong>web marketing</strong></a>. Here is what the <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/social_bookmarking.php"><strong>SEO experts in Dubai</strong></a> have to say about the following misconceptions:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Advertising on Google will increase my sites organic rankings: </em>This is certainly not so. Pay Per Click and natural listings are 2 individual arenas and Google doesn’t mix the 2.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em>Many advertisements, more the conversion rate:</em> Unfortunately this too is not true. People are ultimately becoming de-sensitized towards a clutter of advertisements on a page. If you place many ads on a single webpage, your visitors are bound to bounce back. A neat de-cluttered page can sustain visitors to a greater degree.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em>Using META tags will improve my sites rankings:</em> Once upon a time, spammers abused META tags. Since then major search engines have not been paying any attention to META tags.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li><em>If I’m not ranked number 1 on SERP’s then my site is a failure:</em> Everyone wants to be ranked number 1 on SERP’s. But this doesn’t mean that you have to measure the success/failure of your site depending upon your ranking.

<p>Affiliate marketing is categorized as an online marketing tool. Although there is no hard rule that lets you make more money through affiliate marketing, following a plan or a certain strategy can lead to meaningful results. Gaining success using this <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/directory.php"><strong>internet marketing strategy</strong></a> is really easy when you keep some of the following ideas in mind:</p>
<p>Before implementing an <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/media_strategy.php"><strong>affiliate marketing solution</strong></a>, you need to make sure you have good content on your site. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have many affiliates. What matters is the fact that everyone visiting your site is happy with all that you have to offer them. Basically, your site should be an interesting read and a good reason why people must not go in for the retailer and your affiliate’s site. How do you keep this from happening? Check if they have the potential to forward the right audience to your website and also check your affiliate’s site for their products. Compare their products with yours. If their products are better and have lower prices than your products, it is better not to become their affiliate.</p>
<p>There can also come a time when you will find good affiliates who can pull in potential customers for you, but not at the price you expected. What should you do in such a case? Accept them. After all, affiliate marketing is just a tool to earn better profits and that is what you will receive by accepting such an offer.</p>

<p>Everyone is in the pursuit of earning more money than what their daily wages offer. Some need it to clear debts, some want to taste the life of a millionaire, while some others just like accumulating money from an early age in order to retire by the time they turn 21. Indeed! The best way to crack the financial code for most people these days is by creating a website.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/how_optimize_website.php"><strong>SEO experts in Dubai</strong></a> help you choose and register an<strong> <a href="http://cosmosseos.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-select-domain-name.html" target="_blank">appropriate</a></strong> <a href="http://cosmosseos.blogspot.com/2009/11/how-to-select-domain-name.html" target="_blank"><strong>domain name</strong> </a><em>before</em> you can start working on your ideas. But <em>while</em> creating a site, see that your decisions border your ideas 100% of the time. As for the technical aspect, it can be taken care of by web developers and designers from <a href="http://www.onlinemarketingdubai.com/media_strategy.php"><strong>web marketing services</strong></a>.</p>
<p>You may have heard that creating a website is not a simple process. That’s correct because you have to keep yourself updated, every step of the way and take pains to create your site correctly. At the same time, you require the greens to be invested wherever necessary. Therefore, apart from creating domain names and then websites, people also register domain names at web hosting sites in the intention of getting them sold to a third party. Registering domain names is like an investment too. Someone is bound to like your name and buy it from you.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>SEO is the process in which your website undergoes redevelopment to more effectively communicate your keywords to search engines. Optimizing your website enables it to rank higher on major search engines. Search engines rank websites based on two major factors: unique content that contains pertinent keywords, and link popularity &#8211; the number of quality incoming links to your website. Other important factors that determine your ranking with search engines are the architecture of the site, the visibility of your content, its underlying code and how natural your site appears to the engines.</p>
<p>Search engine optimization is the modification of a website for the purpose of improving its natural Rank on Search Engine Results Pages. This is done through a combination of SEO strategies such as directory and search engine Submission, website optimization, content writing and improved Link quality.</p>
