		<description><![CDATA[Specialise in real estate websites and real estate SEO for lead generation and increasing property sales with Real Estate Web Designers. Our clients include real estate agents, brokers, builders, news portals, etc..]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the world of digital marketing, creative messaging can quickly be tweaked and replaced, or selected media environments re-looked. This is a best-practice benchmark SEO study of <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a> for online marketers. As real estate agents comment about property &#8211; Location, location, location! It applies to digital marketing also. We first did our homework by crawling through social networks, news sites, global realty portals and blogs where <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a> (or similar brands) was a topic of discussion and tested for many new ideas. Came to know and understood their target market, and positioned the brand in the environments they frequent.</p>
<p>The SEO process began with a strategy as it is crucial to know and understand the objective. For establishing a presence on search engines and attract buyers and sellers to <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a>, we have used both Pay Per Click-through (PPC) and Search Engine Optimization. Tasks involved were Online media advertising campaigns, paid search, lead generation, email marketing, refer-a-friend campaigns to name just a few tools and channels. Most importantly we have trained their specialist real estate editors to become SEO and quality content savvy.</p>
<p>Using PPC we have established accounts on Google Adwords and Yahoo SM and optimized campaigns for placing on the Search Engines Results Pages (SERPs). As PPC is performance based; they only pays for visitors if they click on link, as it is displayed on the Search Results Page (SERP). We controlled which SERPs <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a> link/ad shows up on by bidding on right key phrases, for example &#8220;real estate&#8221;, &#8220;real estate in gurgaon&#8221;, etc.</p>
<p>By SEO reverse engineering, we made adjustments to make it attractive to the search engines and get listed as high as possible for search terms. On-page adjustment by incorporating key phrases within the web site in the right areas like the title and heading. Off-page adjustments were mainly for getting other sites to link to <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a> so it is perceived as popular to the search engine.</p>
<p>Another important part of research was determining which search terms do people enter into the search engines to find residential or commercial estate in India? This help us to bid on terms using PPC and include those terms/phrases within <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a> using SEO techniques. Keyword Research is an important prerequisite to a successful Search Engine Marketing campaign.</p>
<p>Selecting Engines: Top four Search Engines account for 93% of all search queries. They are Google, Yahoo, MSN and AOL. With the exception of industry specific portal/search engines our focus was on these four SEs. Remember, Search Engine market is complex and often overlapping.</p>
<p>We found that on average between 9 to 10 lakh searchers enter the search term &#8220;real estate&#8221; in Overture alone  &#8211; around 3 million queries per month! We have lots of people looking for real estate on the Internet. Other terms besides real estate, are new homes, new construction, real estate for sale by owner, etc..We have used both Overture and Wordtracker to find the top search terms and also checked the web logs of <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a>.</p>
<p>The hardest category to determine is local listings as all real estate is local. We focused on local results for PPC; the click-through rates are generally cheaper. Designed SEO around local geography, with less competition and constantly analyze site logs for new search phrases. PR is another vital component of our online strategy for increasing Online Real Estate presence while building authority through better online exposure for <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a>.</p>
<p>We at SEO trends, specialise in real estate websites and real estate SEO for lead generation and increasing property sales with Real Estate Web Designers. Our clients include real estate agents, brokers, builders, news portals, etc..</p>

		<description><![CDATA[These statistics indicate that in today's business environment, a strong online presence and giving buyers easy access to your product information is not only important, it's a necessity. A new discipline of management is evolving to make it sound more corporate-like..]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Buying Decisions &#8211; Consumer Behavior: </strong>Most people do an online research on the products and their suppliers before they choose to buy one! B2B decision makers or business buyers (including government agencies!) also spend many hours researching product and service information. These statistics indicate that in today&#8217;s business environment, a strong online presence and giving buyers easy access to your product information is not only important, it&#8217;s a necessity. A new discipline of management is evolving to make it sound more corporate-like: <strong>SEM</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Search Engine Optimization &#8211; Web Marketing: </strong>With so much hype about search marketing and getting top spots in the search engines, everyone knows the drill: use metatags, title tags, keywords, backlinks, etc. But the important thing to remember is that search engines are constantly working to make search more effective for end users. So while following proper SEO techniques matters, what is more crucial is truly understanding how buyers are searching for your product or service, and leveraging that information to ensure search engines &#8211; and ultimately buyers &#8211; find your business.</p>
<p>To succeed, one needs to focus on the foundation: a targeted message that addresses buyers&#8217; needs and then employ SEO best practices. Other factors to consider: the best place to find relevant traffic might be on vertical search engines. Also, placing links on prominent industry websites and online directories are powerful ways to highlight your business in a place where targeted buyers are already searching for your products.</p>
<p><strong>Online Video Ads &#8211; New Media Advertising: </strong>Business marketers are constantly seeking new strategies for engaging buyers in a more interactive way, and the newest trend toward accomplishing that goal is rich media ads like online videos. Spending on online video advertising will increase in 2007 and beyond. As the technology becomes increasingly sophisticated, rich media companies are bringing TV quality to online advertising and offering marketers new opportunites. Video has growing appeal due to marketers&#8217; ability to track leads, conduct real-time analysis and measure effectiveness.</p>
<p><strong>Online Advertising Spending &#8211; Media Planning: </strong>As ad revenue is shifting to the internet, spending for online advertising is projected to grow exponentially. Online ad spending increases have been driven by the growing ability to measure campaigns effectively. In today&#8217;s market, the question isn&#8217;t whether to advertise online &#8211; that&#8217;s a given &#8211; but rather smart advertising. Its not about buying clicks cheaply, but rather about buying the right clicks. Make sure you&#8217;re reaching the right people. The CPM or CPC to reach targeted buyers might be higher, but so will your return on investment. The bottom line is, like so many things in life, quality is more important than quantity.</p>
<p><strong>Lead Generation &#8211; New Business Generation: </strong>The proliferation of data readily available online actually creates an opportunity for marketers to generate leads. BtoB buyers rely on the &#8220;information superhighway&#8221; to do their jobs better and find the products they need. In order to get their hands on good information, buyers are willing to divulge some personal data, such as email addresses and phone numbers &#8211; but only if what they get in return is relevant and valuable. Value could be in the form of a deal or discount, but it could also be intellectual capital such as white papers on hot industry topics or case studies showing how their peers solved a common challenge. Positioning yourself as an expert source of reliable information, providing value-adds or offering special pricing online, could open a treasure chest of lead generation opportunities.</p>
<p><strong>Targeted Messaging &#8211; Market Segmentation: </strong>With so many choices online for BtoB buyers, and the inundation of emails in their inboxes, ensuring the messages offered to potential buyers are highly targeted is crucial. Speak directly to your audience&#8217;s specific wants and needs, and don&#8217;t waste their time by loading them down with unwanted information. In addition, with all the technology available for managing databases, target markets can be more tightly defined, segregated, sorted, compiled and marketed to, providing a higher return. The key here is segmentation. Divide your audience into highly targeted segments so you can send information that&#8217;s focused to their particular wants and needs.</p>
<p><strong>Management of Your Online Reputation &#8211; Brand Building: </strong>Remember back in schools, when you were worried about your reputation? You found out someone was spreading rumors about you, but you didn&#8217;t know who it was? It&#8217;s not so different in the business world today. With the popularity of blogs, message boards and other forms of user-generated content, perceptions about products and services &#8211; both good and bad &#8211; can spread around the globe at lightning speed, making it difficult for marketers to monitor what is being said. Because a great brand can take months, if not years, and millions of dollars to build, it should be the thing businesses hold most precious.</p>
<p>If you can&#8217;t control what others say online, you can influence people&#8217;s opinions about your business. First &#8220;Google&#8221; your company and see what turns up in the search results. Secondly, regularly post your own opinions and responses on your website and contribute to relevant blogs and forums. Take steps to create your own blog or message board and regularly issue optimized press releases. Another avenue to consider is hiring a company that offers &#8220;brand monitoring&#8221; services, which provide intelligence about online usage and distribution. To succeed, protecting your brand and online reputation is probably the most important marketing trend for 2007.</p>
<p><strong>Search Engine Bowling &#8211; Watching your competitors: </strong>Experts say that <strong>Key to SEM</strong> is to have the Best Website in the World for a category. But now-a-days there are many unethical ways used by some bigger players to harm small and popular online competitors who might one day find that the &#8220;Best can be Buried&#8221;. They use stunts like:</p>
<p>1. Posting a lot of spam-like links all around the web, pointing to the competitor&#8217;s site.<br />
2. Reporting a competitor for using paid links (even if they use it themselves)<br />
3. Filing a copyright complaint against a competitor<br />
4. Push a competitor into the duplicate content trap by republishing their content on another site<br />
5. Launching a Denial of Service attack against competition servers<br />
6. Commit click-fraud against a competitor&#8217;s AdWords campaign, wasting their budget</p>
<p>There can also be some other unknown ways. Of course, you can also retaliate. Online marketing can be good or bad, depending on which side of the fence you&#8217;re sitting on, and for every winner, there&#8217;s also a loser. This is a <strong>real zero-sum game</strong>, but should it be! Right, Google is a superb engine that benefits millions, but it&#8217;s still just an engine. And what it turns up can have remarkably deleterious impact on hard-working people and businesses around the globe. You need to watch Google/Yahoo, your competitors, your own website, user traffic and your actual business to succeed!</p>

This special privilege has eased out much fuss in distributing the written text document. Nevertheless, not all the article directories are up to the mark or standard. Rather some of them are so poorly created that instead of giving out good services to the clients, these are aggravating the problem largely. The web masters have to think of some way out to solve this problem.</p>
<p>Again the <a href="http://india-directory.org">India directory</a> have told over and over again, that the colors, dimension, images should be consistent to make the website more effective. Selecting as little variety of color as possible for the color scheme should be done. Through out the whole directory, the same scheme should prevail. It will make a viewer feel that he is going through some thing, and the content has harmony among them. Spontaneously, the viewing experience will be much more satisfying. Whoever has a article directory of their own, should always be vigilant so that their directory is always well organized, and going through it is always a pleasurable experience. It should appeal to the sensitive viewers, and invite them for re visiting the <a href="http://india-directory.org">directory</a>.</p>
<p>Many article directories can be seen to posses a variety of assorted aligning, diverse color combination, and disproportionately daring fonts. In some of the article directories, there is the provision of adding up of variety of stylish items to make the text look stunning. These may visually have a dazzling effect at first, but at the same time has negative aspects also. Straightforwardness and transparency are expected of an article directory or a website by a visitor. A cluttered, untidy, disorganized appearance will make the viewers leave the site at once. Even if they browse the directory for a while, at end they will get frustrated and eventually leave the site. Both the things are equally avoidable by the web site owner.</p>
<p>Whatever is incorporated in the website, the main aim is to invite the visitors or customers. The styling properties like colors, images, and wordings should portray the similar ideology. These styling elements should complement the substance and massage of the website. Of course the graphics and images are beneficial to the website. But these images should not overpower the article directory. There are many articles where too much of graphics and images have resulted in a difficult navigation. None of the visitors will tolerate endless scrolling to go to the other part of the site, rather they expect that they can easily navigate the required information. Enabling the visitors, an easy contact with the content is the most important task of the website .</p>
<p>Advertisements and affiliate programs cause income from the site. Therefore, it is profitable for the site to put up more ads etc. in the website. Again, here also the ads and affiliate programs must not interfere the reception of the content by the viewers. The potential clients would obviously prefer helpful information rather than going through the ads and affiliate programs. That is why they are browsing the directory. The content of the website is the central item, not the so-called ‘funky’ and ‘stylish’ ads, colors, and font. The ads or something similar to them should not make unnecessary intrusion in the content of the website. <img src="http://www.seotrends.in/images/woman.jpg" alt="articles" /></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Create the best content you can with the best products/services you can offer. Content is your best advertisement - if visitors like your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The key to get web traffic is to have a website with great content that others can use, search engines will crawl and other websites will naturally link. You can use pay per click advertising in the search engines to reach audiences looking for your products. You can use <a href="http://www.google.com/adwords">Google Adwords </a>, <a href="http://searchmarketing.yahoo.com/">Yahoo PPC</a>, or  <a href="http://ads.seotrends.in">Local Ad-Serving Solutions</a>. Do not always go by PPC rate, also look for quality of user traffic, not quantity and economy &#8211; you may end-up wasting resources!</p>
<p>Internet Marketing ideas that can help get traffic you need:</p>
<p>1. Create the best content you can with the best products/services you can offer. Content is your best advertisement &#8211; if visitors like your content, then they will go back and spread the word to others.</p>
<p>2. Viral marketing is very important &#8211; and easy to tap on the Web. But give your users the tools. Some even go as far as giving incentives to those who recommend the site to their friends. If only 10 people go to your site, but these 10 people invite 10 more &#8211; that&#8217;s additional traffic that you get for FREE!</p>
<p>3. Rank well in the search engines (organic search results, not the pay per click). SEs can be a big source of traffic. The key is to create the best content in your niche. If you have good content, other websites will gladly link to you and offer your site as a resource to their audience. Check the on-page factors and be sure to get linked from authority sites in your topic area.</p>
<p>4. Send out press releases. There are free press release submission places on the Web. Press releases allow you to (a) attract media attention; (b) get more back links to your website without sending each website an email request; and (c) get more visibility especially if your press release gets in Google News or Yahoo News.</p>

<p>5. Write articles and submit them to websites accepting author submissions. You get exposure for your business; establishes you as an authority in your field, and allows you to get backlinks for your website. If 50 websites publish your article and it contains a link back to your website, then you easily get 50 links from a single article. The more links you have, the greater your chances for increasing your search engine rankings.</p>
<p>6. Post a link to your site for free where it is allowed (always read the Terms of Use). Examples are:</p>
<p>2letservice.com&#8217;s <a href="http://2letservice.com/">Free Property Ads</a><br />
Craigslist <a href="http://www.craigslist.com/">http://www.craigslist.com</a><br />
Google Base <a href="http://base.google.com/">http://base.google.com</a><br />
Yahoo Classifieds <a href="http://classifieds.yahoo.com/">http://classifieds.yahoo.com/</a><br />
US Free Ads <a href="http://www.usfreeads.com/">http://www.usfreeads.com/</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A New Revolution called User-Generated Content is a major online experience for millions Internet users. From entertainment to communications to e-commerce, consumers are taking charge of the creation, distribution and consumption of digital content. Over 40% of all Internet users actually contribute content!</p>
<p>And the trend is growing. For consumers, UGC creates opportunities that were inconceivable 10 years ago, when self-expression consisted of letters to the editor, town hall meetings and call-in shows. Now-a-days, whenever people get fired up about anything, they take to the Web &#8211; to create, read, listen to or view what other people have to say.</p>
<p>Contrary to common wisdom, and looking at the realities of Web &#8211; content owners, marketers, site publishers, entrepreneurs and everyday opportunists are realizing that there is no easy road to make millions in user-generated content business either, and finding lucrative niches will require patience, risk-taking, creativity and a long-term commitment. Moreover, UGC on social networks is such a powerful consumer activity and at the same it is incredibly challenging as a marketing medium. If you are promoting an offline business in the online world, you will need to have the option for users to generate content on your site, otherwise you will be seen as rather abnormal and certainly behind the times.</p>
<p>If you do not know where to start, create a blog and allow people to comment (Need Help? Hire Professionals like <a href="http://www.solutionpoint.in">Solution Point</a>). Do something to allow your users to generate content for your site. UGC sites like Real Estate Times still pull attention away from traditional media, such as newspapers, magazines, television and radio &#8211; and putting increased financial pressure on them at a time when they can least afford it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Blog is basically a journal that is available on the web. The activity of updating a <a id="aptureLink_2mau1J9utP" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog">blog</a> is blogging and someone who keeps a blog is a blogger. Blogs are typically updated daily using easy-to-use open source and licensed software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominently. This blog, for instance, is being updated by a 18 Years Old Undergraduate in New Delhi, India. You need not know anything technical to do this.</p>
<h3>Publish &#038; manage your own free blogs about <a href="http://indiacitypages.com/user/register" target="_blank">Any Topic or News Stories</a>, <a href="http://www.solutionpoint.in/user/register" target="_blank">Technology</a>, <a href="http://www.jobspoint.in/user/register" target="_blank">Jobs &#038; Career</a>, <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in/user/register" target="_blank">Real Estate &#038; Finance</a> etc.</h3>
<p>So what do you need to get started blogging? A computer and an Internet connection, for starters. There are several websites devoted to the art of blogging. Some Indian sites include <a href="http://indiacitypages.com">India City Pages</a>, <a href="http://www.realestatetimes.in">Real Estate Times</a>, etc. Social networking services like <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/httpwwwseotrendsin/99656417834">Facebook</a>, <a href="http://twitter.com/marketingtrends">Twitter</a>, etc. also provide free blogs to communicate.</p>
<p>Its wonderful that worldwide publishing is now available to anybody with a web site. There are a lot of great writers and great stories out there, and now we get to see what we would have missed if the Web do not exist. The Internet is still in the embryonic stages of standing on its own characteristics. Communication and content presentation strategies still mirror existing models, particularly newspaper and magazine publishing. Email, for example, is merely an extension of existing mail systems. As such, it is about bending a new medium to an existing process.</p>
<p>Blogging is using a new medium for what it is good for &#8211; connecting and interacting. Blogging is a first generation tool built on, and taking advantage of, the unique attributes of the Internet. It has been dismissed as a self-centered passing fad and as the new model of interactive journalism, communication, and learning. This article explores the the uses, benefits, implications, and art of blogging.</p>
<p>- If we look beneath the content of weblogs, we can observe the common ground all bloggers share the format. The weblog format provides a framework for our universal blog experiences, enabling the social interactions we associate with blogging. These tools spit out our varied content in the same format  archives, permalinks, time stamps, and date headers.</p>
<p>- What online bloggers do is completely new &#8211; and cannot be replicated on any other medium. Its somewhere in between writing a column and talk radio. Its genuinely new. And it harnesses the webs real genius &#8211; its ability to empower anyone to do what only a few in the past could genuinely pull off. In that sense, blogging is the first journalistic model that actually harnesses rather than merely exploits the true democratic nature of the web. Its a new medium finally finding a unique voice.</p>
<p>- The best description regarding blogging is that its somewhere between &#8220;writing a column and talk radio&#8221;.</p>
<p>Blogging, as detailed above, is a format constant (archives, links, time stamps, chronological listing of thoughts and links), personalized, community-linked, social, interactive, democratic, new model innovation built on the unique attributes of the Internet.</p>
<p>Uses for blogging and social networking: As an emerging tool, blogging uses have still not been completely explored. Some current uses:</p>

<p>Most common uses for blogging are personal and, considering its origins as a personal web publishing forum, this makes sense. Emerging uses promise opportunities in corporations and education. Further application will also be realized as existing uses (communication, learning, knowledge management, interactive journalism, etc.) are adopted by various industries &#8211; notably entertainment, health care, government.</p>
<p>Benefits: Benefits of blogging are numerous (which explains its rapid growth!). An overriding benefit is the democratization of information. In classic models, knowledge flow was stopped and administered by news sources (paper, magazines, TV). Ideas in keeping with current zeitgeist or political agendas received top billing, while unpopular (though necessary for innovation and social transformation) ideas were ignored. Many of the benefits of blogging are listed above in Uses for Blogging other benefits include:</p>
<p>- Fostering the fringe &#8211; ideas are evaluated based on merit &#8211; not on source of origin.<br />
- Filtering &#8211; ideas with merit are filtered through various blogs. Significant thoughts or posts receive multiple-links and spread viral-like across the blogosphere.<br />
- Multiple perspectives &#8211; one-sided perspectives of newspapers are replaced by passionate debates exploring virtually every facet of an idea or concept.<br />
- Barrier elimination &#8211; society is about barriers &#8211; actual or unspoken. For example, I dont run in the same circle as Bill Gates &#8211; a socio-economic barrier (at the absolute minimum!). In society, this generally means that I do not have the benefit of Mr. Gates wisdom blogging, however changes that. Opportunities now exist to hear regular thoughts from people like Ray Ozzie, Mitch Kapor, and Larry Lesig.<br />
- Free flow &#8211; any idea can be expressed and accessed by any one. The process of blogging separates good ideas from poor ideas. The process itself has built in quality control &#8211; try that in traditional media!<br />
- Real time &#8211; discussions and interactions happen right NOW. Waiting for tomorrows newspaper or radio program seems like an eternity compared to real time blogging.<br />
- Links and connections &#8211; the complexity of an information heavy society requires specialization. Yet specialization is futile if a process is not created to link specialties. Blogging serves this purpose extremely well. Disparate fields of interest and thought are brought together (and dissected) in the machinations of bloggers.</p>
<p>Implications: As a disruptive technology, blogging is altering (or perhaps responding to?) many aspects of information/content creation and use. These changes are not without impact. What are some of the implications of a tool that functions at the same speed as the medium it serves? Heres a few:</p>
<p>* Content creation and consumption on the Internet has finally caught up with the Internet itself. Traditional suppliers of content (publishers, media, news organizations) will face substantial pressures to respond appropriately, or cease being relevant.<br />
* Decentralization of content and distribution. This is a trend well underway on the Internet as a whole. Napster capitalized on it and blogging is the canary in a mine reacting to (and reflecting) it.<br />
* The user is in control. The end user (or audience) of a service or product has acquired a central (rather than previous fringe) role. Disagree with a blogger? Tell him/her via comments links, and initiate a dialogue with not only the author, but other readers as well. Disagree with a newspaper columnist? Throw out the newspaper<br />
* Conversation vs. lectureI have a mindI have an opinion. It counts. Just like yours.<br />
* The pipe is more important than the content. By various estimates, bloggers number between 750,000 and 1 million. The ecosystem of blogging is more important than the content being generated. The content has a life (i.e. new technology becomes obsolete)but the process for content acquisition (blogging) stays continually fresh.<br />
* Shared meaning and understandings. Knowledge is acquired and shaped as a social process &#8211; resulting in spiraling: I say something, you comment on it, I evaluate it, comment and present a new perspective, you take it to the next level and the process repeats until a concept has been thoroughly explored.<br />
* Ideas are presented as the starting point for dialogue, not the ending point.</p>
