THINKING and INTELLEGENCE OF BUSINESSMEN IN KARACHI PAKISTAN
2008-10-31 10:11:58
I got together with many businessmen in Karachi, Pakistan. They
are very keen about their business; they don’t sleep but think
about their business…
There are many things they are taking over together on their hands.
They can only implement ideas and their team does it. However, ideas
only come when you are relaxed…
How Ideas flow to Businessmen in Karachi, Pakistan
One idea can change the business standings One good step can promote
the business
Usually, businessman are very busy, much tensed, they don’t
want to be always already late. They distribute their important
tasks to the responsible management.
Their life is very busy. How come ideas come to them? They never
know about internet marketing...
They only think about offline marketing, advertising or viral marketing.
But they are not technical enough to think about search engine
marketing and its tremendous effects on their businesses.
Low Level understanding of Search Engine Marketing
I mate many businessmen, some know little, some know more…
Let me give it my percentage, which is only based on my experience.
30% businessmen know about search engine marketing 70% businessmen
don’t know about search engine marketing
This is a good guess. Now, if I divide this 30% into more…
10% businessmen know 30% about search engine marketing 20% businessmen
know
10% about search engine marketing
Hmm... At this point, we see strange figure and situation in Karachi
business community.
Why they are always unable to market their business in search engines?
Don’t they know the importance of Google, Yahoo and Msn?
Why don’t they have time for search engine marketing?
I know, search engine marketing know how is very less in Karachi,
Pakistan. This industry is still a child, but we are gurus, professionals
in this industry. We proud we played a good role to promote search
engine industry in Karachi, Pakistan. We are proud to be Pakistani.

44% of Small Businesses
Still Don’t Have a Web Site
2009-06-28 05:32:23
Over at Frank Thinking, contributing Pilgrim Frank Reed shares
a study that reveals just why it’s so hard to get small businesses
to break their local newspaper/yellow pages advertising habit.
Then why shocked?? Why? Because they’re still using the darn
things! Even though a staggering 44% of small businesses don’t
yet have a web site–with 78% of them spending 5% or less on
internet advertising–there is some hope that small business
owners are (finally) waking up to the web.
* 23% say they use the Yellow pages less
* 42% say they use the local newspaper less Over the past two years,
43% of small businesses say they have increased use of search engines
in their marketing efforts. In contrast, use of traditional small
business advertising mediums is on the decline:
While 82% of consumers turn to the search engines when finding
a local business, only 69% of small business owners do the same.
I’m shocked! Either the glass is half empty (will small businesses
ever "get" the internet) or half full (small businesses
are a hot target for marketers). What’s your take on the numbers?
Are you noticing huge crises
in your traffic sales less searches in advertising and search results
2009-04-15 20:39:02
The whole world is currently affected due to the crises and recession
in each and every field. I have been noticing a fall down everywhere
in my client's search engine's traffic. This recession has specially
affected US and UK customers who are feeling this heat. They are
avoiding unnecessary expenditures, fun times, tourism, spending
money, keeping money in banks. Similarly, peoples are avoiding searching
or shopping now a days.
This is only a prediction but when I researched on it, I found
some interesting facts which I am sharing here: Rimm-Kaufman posted
data which is a summary showing people are avoiding searching for
products and services to purchase, leading to fewer sales, which
is also impacting the whole PPC campaigns and budgets. Yes! This
is all related to this global recession.
• Approximately 20% reduction in sales from search ads from
last year
• Approximately 20% reduction in his costs from search ads
from last year
• The average order value from search ads dropped 10% from
last year
• The conversion rate from search ads seemed to remain stable
from last year
• There may be more competition in the space, but hard to
prove
I know you are a SEO expert or beginner reading this post. And,
of couse, running your own clients. If you are noticing a fall down
in traffic, please take part here and let us know if less people
are searching and clicking on your ads.
Confidence is the key to
tackle recession in Marketing Industry
2009-04-28 21:04:37
Business worldwide is affected with this recession. Marketing Managers
and IT Managers are getting it hard to win the situation. They are
looking for some magic! Their confidence is now on toes…
“You are “Confident” when you know you will get
positive results with any activity or decision”. This is a
great way to conduct business, of course, but most of us know that
living by these words is a difficult practice.
Confidence is a complex quality that plays tricks on us, which
is why we sometimes lack confidence when we shouldn’t, or
become overconfident at times when we should show some humility.
In short, maintaining confidence takes work.
In good times: Confidence swells. We all know what happens when
the economy hums: A lot of what businesspeople try works. AIG discovers
a profitable market in insuring dicey securities. General Motors
sells lots of gas-guzzling sport utility vehicles. Innovation and
entrepreneurial flourish because the odds of success rise. And confidence
climbs higher — often, as we can now see so clearly, dangerously
high. “There’s evidence that in good times, suddenly
everyone thinks that they’re better than everyone else,”
says Don Moore, an associate professor of organizational behavior
and theory at Carnegie Mellon’s Tepper School of Business.
“On average, that’s just not true.” Our problem?
We can’t easily view our achievements with anything approaching
objectivity. In a study on confidence published last year, Moore
gave participants 18 computer-based trivia quizzes and then asked
them how well they did. Turns out, most were horrible at assessing
their performances — about 90 percent of the subjects guessed
wrong about how they did. Hubris and delusion, as you might imagine,
are a dangerous combination. When things are going gangbusters,
the truth is we get too full of ourselves. Our confidence has us
looking at our businesses through rose-colored lenses. When business
is OK but unspectacular, we get conservative. We lean on practices
that served us well during the earlier boom. Our confidence lies
in the fact that we know what works, and we stick with it.
In downturns: Confidence evaporates. Confidence experts say that
in these stressful times, leaders need to be level-headed and courageous.
Be brutally honest with yourself and others, and get comfortable
with making changes and even going against the grain. Marriott,
for instance, recently took what could be viewed as a leap of faith
when it agreed to buy West Virginia’s iconic and bankrupt
Greenbrier resort.
In the long run, the hotel’s estimated $130 million price
tag could very well represent a bargain. “This is a time to
do things even if you don’t want to do them,” says Marina
Gorbis, who runs the Institute for the Future, a Silicon Valley
think tank. “This is a time for heroic actions.” But
that confidence can lead us astray again, as we adopt the false
belief that experience can replace effort. Veteran cops do this:
Moore cites well-known research in which seasoned policemen frequently
erred in determining whether or not suspects were telling the truth.
The related study, titled “Who Can Catch a Liar,” proves
that few folks really can. Experience, it turns out, counts for
little. “If I teach the same class for 10 years and start
failing to prepare, then my performance suffers,” Moore says.
“You have to find that sweet spot: sufficient poise to work
with what you’ve already got, and sufficient anxiety to invest
time and energy into your work.” In stable times: Overconfidence
dictates You have to look at the proverbial glass as half-full.
“These days, I bet there are a lot of managers imagining that
they’re not doing well, and that others are doing better,”
says Moore.
“On average? That’s untrue.” Again, Moore says
that confidence — really, the lack thereof — is misleading,
slightly out of whack with reality. Yes, the national unemployment
rate is a sobering 8.5 percent, but that means the employment rate
is still 91.5 percent. Real estate is cheap, certainly compared
with a few years ago, when those looking for homes bemoaned the
sky-high prices. Weaker businesses are ripe for acquisition. Here’s
where we are now.
The economy has tanked. People are paying off mortgages worth far
more than their homes; folks are out of work. Those still on the
job, including company management, walk around office hallways with
their heads down, in part because they fear becoming the next casualty.
Thinking of building a fresh
website or re-working a current one?
2009-10-22 19:35:02
If you are at the moment thinking about a new internet site and
you would like big visitor numbers for the site then now is the
right time to adopt the services of a search engine optimization
company. The services provided by some of this organization are
necessary if organizations are to validate the time, effort and
cost that will be invested in a new site.
Depending on the difficulty of the website that is about to be composed
or re-worked your spend could rather easily reach the thousands
of pounds mark. If the goal is that the site brings new customers,
leads and business then it could be the best designed site in the
world but if possible customers don’t get to see it, it’s
useless. This is where the Search Engine Optimization Company comes
in.
though more expenditure at this time may not be great it is absolutely
crucial if any investment is going to create results. You could
have the best appealing website in your industry but if customers
do not see it appear on page one of their searches results all the
effort has been in futile. Your competitors will be occupying the
coveted positions one to ten and the customer will definitely find
what he is looking for among them, meaning that your expenditure
in your new website has been wasted.
If you employ with the Search Engine Optimization Company at this
early juncture they will be able to steer you and your web designer
down the best possible path to make certain that your site is obvious
to the search engines. Whilst this input without help rarely means
that you will achieve page 1 search engine positioning without additional
action, it can radically cut down the amount of money you will need
to spend on Online Marketing once the site is live.
Once the site itself has been optimized to its up most the Search
Engine Optimization Company will then support the site using a variety
of strategies to make certain that the required Search Engine Placement
is attained, i.e. page one of the search results. They can then
continue to hold you on that page with regular online PR for an
indefinite period.
It is possible toban existing website but if this has not been constructed
with optimization in mind then the issue is more time consuming
and therefore costly. Nevertheless if the existing site already
has a valuable number of returning buyers and a reasonable Search
Engine Placement already it might be better to work with what you
have. Either way employ with them as soon as you can.
