Email Marketing is all about quality, not quantity

meenaxi08 — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 12:07:03 +0000

In a recent analysis by Forrester Research, sixty percent of marketers are not utilising the power of email marketing because their efforts are mainly concentrated towards growing databases and sending out the information to the maximum number of users, thereby ignoring the fact that it is not the quantity, but the quality that matters, and we are not talking about the quality of the email addresses, but the strategy that is implemented while blasting out mails. The best strategy in this regard would be to segregate your mail addresses in accordance to the data being sent, and this is particularly important for those involved in the email marketing domain for external clients. For instance, depending on the age demographics, you might prefer sending sports goods’ mailers to only young audiences, a step that would also reduce the bounce rate of the host site drastically, besides increasing the click-through percentage. Another example would be in case you know the geographic locations of your potential customers as well. According to this location, you can send them mailers specific to their location (Of course, you would not be selling sweaters to someone located in Africa!)
The most imperative precaution while gathering your email database is to capture as much (accurate) information about the user as possible. Based on these, you can start off by defining targets for a better analysis of both your strategy as well as your approach. Even a simple segregation like male/female can bring about a whale of a difference in terms of click-through. Further, in case you own a website offering the facility to the user to subscribe to promotional offers, discounts, etc., make sure you take as much information without being too taxing on the user or taking too much of his time (both are basically the same thing for an average user). A side-point here would be to keep updating your database in case a few users unsubscribe every now and then. This is also important in case you are running mailers for diverse verticals or products, since a user interested in sports goods might not be wanting to receive offers on sweaters (quoting the above example)!
In the end, all that matters is how you play with the number of mail addresses you have, and send out mailers at the appropriate timings to the right audience. There is no set formula for this, and everything is trial and error. However, the upside to this is that once you hit the right strategy, all you have to do is to blast the mails, and get revenues the click of a button.

A SEO Company – The harbinger of online promotion in a wonderful way

meenaxi08 — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:49:57 +0000

A mention of any SEO company is likely to have a flurry of reactions especially from all those who deal in the business of providing websites. SEO services are responsible in a big way for the success of websites.

For any website, the primary step is to have all its pages ‘crawled’ in the most aggressive manner possible. The reason for this is the objective of being listed on top of the search results that are generated by search engines in response to search keywords entered by the user.

A SEO company is responsible for this primary step to be fulfilled in the most effective manner possible. Therefore, the mark of a good company (that provides search engine optimisation services) is having most of the websites of its clients having impressive rankings on search engines.

There are many more activities that are associated with this core process; however, one has to understand that the implementation of this core process is the stepping stone in the creation of a situation that harbours the implementation of all the other associated activities.

Business today has assumed an online nature with most of the business now having their official websites. These websites are used for generating sales of the products and the services that are being given the companies. In order for this to happen, these products have to easily visible to any potential customer.

This takes place when the web pages of the websites of these companies marvel with the benefits received from fantastic SEO services. This is a feature that is desired by companies globally and, therefore, the primary objective (crawling of the web pages) of any good SEO company can also be said to be linked with the process of marketing.

There are many activities which together make up SEO services and the effective undertaking of all these activities is essential for the quality of the SEO services. Hence, a good SEO company is one that provides SEO services in accordance with the tenet specified in the above lines.

The term ‘SEO’ is quite a new one and, therefore, an unknown one to many in this world. However, the business potential of this term is forcing its comprehension in a global manner. This has become more visible due to the rise in the number of websites within a very short period of time in the recent decades. It has to be taken into consideration that each and every one of these websites has been launched as businesses and, therefore, revenue (which is the primary objective for any business) is a feature which is highly expected.

The mean and the medium for this revenue is a good SEO company which knows its work and, therefore, provides good search engine optimisation services to the websites.

The proper usage of tags is quite essential for giving proper SEO services

meenaxi08 — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:09:54 +0000

The pedestal for any website creation endeavour has always been the language HTML (hyper text mark-up language). One of its elements is tags and these have a special importance in terms of their implementation when it comes to providing marvellous SEO services.

Let the importance be illustrated in terms of the tags which are required in the provision of SEO services. The primary consideration is the title tag. An effective practice would be the inclusion of two or even three keywords in the title tag.

Then come the Meta description tag which contains the description content. One should always include more than two keywords in this description as well.

A good provision of SEO services also includes the implementation of the Meta keywords tag in each and every one of the keywords that are being used for the website. However, one has to ensure that the tags being included are different for each and every web page. In other words, two different web pages should not have the same content in Meta Tags.

The next tag which has to be looked into is the author tag. Good SEO companies always follow the practice of providing the company name (the name of the company for whom they are providing SEO services) in the author tag.

When the need for indexing becomes important, then the usage of robots tag is required. These tags should be used for all those pages that have to be indexed. The undertaking of this activity will ensure the situation in which the robots crawl the pages that have been indexed.

However, there are many activities that should be avoided if one wants to provide a high quality of SEO services. Although all the activities are equally important but there are some that should be avoided specifically.

One of them is the act of including keyword including phrases in the author tag. Another one is the usage of comment tags which contain only the keyword phrases. The usage of refresh tags should also be avoided.

Therefore, a good SEO company is one which is managing to gather a good reputation for itself is one which is keeping note of the importance of the proper way to use tags.

Security Concerns with Google’s Chrome

meenaxi08 — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 06:45:01 +0000

Now that the new Google web browser Chrome is up and active, there are some issues erupting on its privacy policy. Find out more about it.

Now that the long wait for the launch of Google’s new web browser is over, people are thoroughly scanning the browser. And must expectedly there has been some issues on the Privacy concern of the browser. The fact that Chrome is still in its beta version has given some relief to the critics, but the loop holes are brought to light with the hope that they will soon be justified.

Chrome has a so-called omnibox, that retrieves suggestions from Google’s servers as soon as you type and before you hit the return button. Chrome and other Google services use Google Suggest that randomly picks 2% of the requests and store them. Google says that it is about to alter its Suggest technique. It would now work on anonymity after 24 hours. Well if this is true, then there should be less privacy concern than what is happening at present.

This is not all, there is another concern that is on talk these days. It is said that Chrome also has some installation issues. It does not install in the program directory but in the user directory. It is said to be utilizing an application- specific identifier which is unsecured.

The Federal Office of Information in Germany accuses Google of launching an unfinished product for public use. It also said that it could be risky as the the user data is risky and hoarded with a single vendor.

Now that Google covers all the important areas of the web including search engine, email and web browsing, such an incomplete and unprofessional attitude where user’s privacy is on toll is not expected. Hope Google will not fail to keep up its reputation with its latest venture.

Some Differences Between Web Application and Desktop Applications

meenaxi08 — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 04:35:14 +0000

There were strong discussions about desk top applications replacing web applications for quite some time now. Lets find out the difference between the two.

There are a number of reasons why desktop applications are being replaced by web application everywhere. One of the greatest reason for supporting this shift is because web applications are more flexible and versatile where as the desktop applications and softwares are difficult to replace.

The desktop applications are all localized and networked within a particular peripheral area only. Whereas the use of web applications is spread across the globe and a single application can be used to link two offices in two different parts of the world.

Usage of web browsers is being accepted widely across the globe by many many users, which has also contributed to the popularity of the web applications. But on the other hand there are a few benefits of using desktop applications too. Categorically, web applications and desktop applications can be differentiated based on their usability in the following categories.

Security: web applications have their own set of risks, desktop applications on the other hand are more secure.

Connection: web application becomes useless, in certain areas where connectivity is a problem.

Desktop applications do not bother about connection issues, they are easily accessible.

Cost: Web Applications have recurring cost, whereas desktop applications are one time investments.

What we understand from the above descriptions is that the popularity of the web application is only because of the fact that they are more accessible, but are absolutely limited in functionality.
