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.
