The right Approach to Internet Marketing- Always be appropriate.
The internet is growing and evolving every day. There are new and advanced technologies that are being introduce to make your online presence better. But the fact is that the internet marketing trends shall never change. There might be additions or subtractions to it but no head over heel change as such.
Whenever I see news of people try to shock the world with statements like the ‘New Face of Internet’, or ‘Not the Same Internet you Knew…’, I get more amused than shocked at their tactics of selling their latest products.
It is true that the web is changing and I believe that it is changing for god, but then I do not agree that it is transforming completely. There might be probable additions or modifications to the existing ones, but they shall NOT convert.
Same is with the Internet Marketing strategies. There might be a few developments in the plans that were followed but the purpose and the prime focus of Internet marketing is rarely going to change. Here are a few things that you always need to remember while you are doing internet marketing for your website. It is not important that you always use the new techniques, what is important is to do it appropriately.
Before you begin your internet business it always helps to find out the need of your product in the market. How useful it is to the internet surfers and what is your niche market.
Another important aspect of Internet marketing is to ensure that your customers find something unique in your product. Something which is not offered by others in the market, or else they would not really come to you.
An online business involves a lot of reading and less of speaking unlike any other offline business. Hence your website content (text and images) should be really appealing to catch the attention of your visitors. Remember, the visitors take long time to come to your site, but might just move away in a whiff. Guys don’t let that happen, right!
Advertise your product well in the internet and Only to people who are willing to buy your product. Build a good relationship with your visitors so that they can trust you in buying from your website.

Wikia Search the New human Search Engine
Almost a year after it was publicized the new human search engine Wikia Search is finally out at http://alpha.search.wikia.com/ . Hyped tremendously by Jimmy Wales, the founder of Wikipedia, this new human powered search engine is believed to take on Google too. (Though I personally do not feel it is that powerful)
Wikia Search is based on the open source Nutch software which contains an index of web pages created by Grub (a company Wikia acquired last year). The search results at present are very meager and do not provide satisfactory answers. I believe the team really needs to work much harder behind the screens to really show some quality in these searches.
Also, not much of a human element is visible on the search engine at present. What users at present can do is add keywords to their profile - things that they are interested in, and would like to share resources with. When a search is conducted by anyone on those keywords, the user’s picture will appear in the right hand column. Much later when things will be smoother (hopefully) the user will be able to edit and improve results for searches they are interested in. Adding to this, Wikia search also allows users to contribute a “mini-article” on any topic that shall appear at the top of search results for queries posted by any person.
Wikia Search also acts as a social network where a user's profile includes basic things like photos, adding friends, interests and skills. Wikia Search profiles also have an activity stream (similar to facebook).
For all those who have been under clouds as to how the human powered search engine shall be able to rule out the leader in search engines, Google.Inc will have to wait for some more time until there are some miraculous changes in the existing form of Wikia Search.

Internet Bullying is the Latest Cause of Concern
Step aside Internet spies and hackers... the Bullies are on their way! Parents and schools in the US are having a tough time in battling a menace called Internet bullying. Kids are using the World Wide Web to send hateful text messages, abusive emails and spread cyber gossip. And the worst part is, all this happens from the supposedly 'secure' environment of their homes.
An increasing number of children insist that they had never been bullied before, and are therefore finding it exceedingly difficult to cope up with the situation. Experts assert that the solution does not lie in banning of the Internet. Instead, parents and teachers should come together and help kids out of such situations.
When it comes to the number of kids harassed online, the latest report shows a 50 percent increase in the 10 to 17 age bracket. It also states that more than 64 percent of the victims have not faced any kind of physical or verbal aggression otherwise.
The biggest reason behind the 'success' of Internet bullying is the anonymity factor of the web. You can easily create pseudo names or email ids and use them to harass others, without risking the revelation of your true identity.
Schools in the US are taking this matter seriously and plan to come up with strategies that can keep a check on these activities. Certain cyber-building policies will also be formulated in this regard.
With the Internet getting murkier with each passing day, you never know what you will have to counter the next time round.

Moments that Changed the Web Forever - IV
I know I cannot continue with this topic forever... it might have gotten a tad bit boring. So, for the last post in this series, I shall talk about the four most impacting moments in the Internet's history.
Internet Browsers – October, 1969
Way back in the year 1969, the concept of Internet was being pondered upon by Professor Len Kleinrock. The idea took off when he tried to use a dedicated phone line to link a mainframe computer at UCLA to one at the Stanford Research Institute. He managed to transfer two alphabets before the system crashed. The second attempt, however, bore results, and the concept of Internet browsers came into being.
Google – September, 1998
This can be easily described as a historic 'invention' in the online world. Stanford University students Sergey Brin and Larry Page met in the year 1995, and within a year, started working on the concept of links influencing search engine rankings. In September 1998, they opened the first Google office in a garage, and changed the web forever. Google was the company that brought in the idea of profit sharing through search engines. Today, it is considered to be one of the most influential web entities in the world.
Netscape – August, 1995
Netscape was the pioneering effort in the field of Internet browsers. After going public with its shares in 1995, it actually went on to prove that the web is a great place for all kinds of marketing activities. The legacy has been carried forward by a number of web entities, many of which even went defunct in the process. But, Netscape continues to stand tall and make new strides in the online marketplace.
The World Wide Web – December, 1990
What can be bigger than the Web itself? The greatest moment in the history of the web is the moment of its creation. In the year 1990, the world got its Christmas present in the form of the world's first web server. The brains behind this operation were that of Tim Berners Lee and Robert Cailliau of the CERN research lab in Geneva. The first-ever content posted on the web was the CERN phone directory.
Today, the World Wide Web impacts almost every aspect of our lives, both personal and professional. And yes, this blog is very much a part of the same web!

Moments that Changed the Web Forever – III
This topic is getting even more interesting now. As the World Wide Web started to grow, it also became a platform for the coming together of entities bound by some common thread.
Social Networking – March, 2003
It all started with Friendster. And, as the name clearly indicates, it was a site meant for 'friends'; a source of networking on the Internet. By the month of July 2003, the site was being used by more than a million people, who liked 'staying in touch' through a common, feasible platform.
Today, Friendster, the pioneer, has lost into oblivion; sidelined by stronger competitors. MySpace, Facebook, Orkut and the likes were started on the same lines and continue to dominate web users' mindsets with increased doses of interactivity and that personalised touch.
Amazon – July, 1995
Termed as the 'world's largest book store', Amazon started operations in the mid of 1995, headquartered in a garage in Bellevue, Washington. Jeff Bezos, the founder of this all-inclusive online store, has actually revolutionised e-commerce big time. Today, Amazon sells anything and everything through its global network of affiliate programmes.
Domain Names – June, 1983
The domain naming system came into place in the year 1983, resulting from the combined efforts of Paul Mockapetris, Craig Partridge and the late Jon Postel. These guys did a world of good for web users by replacing numerical Internet addresses with real domain names.
Just imagine if we had to memorise all kinds of 12-digit numbers in order to open a website! It would have been so taxing. But thankfully, all we need to do is, type the domain name of the site, and the server itself will decode it into numbers and open the required Internet address.
Today, we can't actually think of the web without all these 'facilities'. More in the next blog...

The Evolution of Online Marketing
The Internet was first introduced about 15 years ago. Back then, it was mainly used for email communication and data transfer, with most global entrepreneurs declaring it 'unfit' for marketing purposes.
The 'online marketplace' came into limelight, thanks to pioneering efforts from Netscape, one of the first Internet service providers in the world. The company presented remarkable strategies that could help foster web trade, raking in profits for buyers and sellers.
In the year 1995, Netscape floated its shares in the market, and this aroused public interest, with
advertisers making the most of this new advertising platform. In due course, the wide expanse, cost-effectiveness and easy accessibility of the Internet saw millions of businesses using this medium.
Today, more than half of the world's populace is hooked on to the web for information and entertainment related to an all-encompassing range of subjects. If you go by latest reports, Americans and Europeans surpass the others in terms of online purchases. This list will soon have new rank-holders, with the whole world preparing to join in the 'celebrations'.
