December 10th, 2007



According to various estimates, Online Marketing including Search Engine Marketing industry is poised to grow at a phenomenal rate in the near future. However, the rate of growth is dependent on the rate at which skilled manpower is produced. At present, lack of talented resources is the major challenge faced by various players in the industry.

To address the above challenge, I started building OM Careers, an online marketing careers community, probably the first of its kind in the world. Gradually, many industry experts extended their support and became part of it. Recently, we decided to turn this community into a non-profit organization.

Inside of this non-profit initiative, we are doing OMCAR 2008, World’s first online marketing careers conference. The event will held in New Delhi, India on Jan 12, 2008. This event is aimed to empower current online marketing professionals in their careers and to attract aspiring professionals into this fast growing and lucrative industry.

This edition of OMCAR will focus on the following topics:
• Introduction to Online Marketing
• Endless Career Opportunities in Online Marketing
• What it takes to be part of this industry?
• Entrepreneurial Opportunities
• Personal Branding
• The future of Online Marketing

Over 200 participants as categorized below will attend the event:


Through the Job clinic, this event will offer a unique opportunity for Online Marketing companies to hire right online marketing talent for their ever-growing demand. Companies such as Communicate2, one of India’s leading interactive advertising agency, has already confirmed its participation.

OMCAR 2008 is supported by leading industry bodies such as TiE New Delhi and will be blessed by India’s Online Marketing experts such as Mahesh Murthy, Vivek Bhargava and Manish Vij as speakers.



If you are an individual and is interested in building a successful career in Online Marketing, you may not want to miss this unique opportunity. You can register online and also can participate in the Job clinic by submitting your resume.

Google PRV (Page Rank Value) Update - 26th October 2007

Finally much awaited Google PRV update is complete. Every one in SEO feild was waited much & created hype for this PR update. Some has been awarded & many of them gone down in their credibility according to Google Backlink Score Software (Page Rank Value).

I was also waiting for this update to see how my blogs & website are going to score this time. It was almost 3 months I was waiting for Google PR update, but at the end all of mine efforts have been paid out by Google.

Also there is an talk in Search Industry that Google PR doesn't stands now a days. For you guys I can say it's the backbone of Google success, which leds Google search results so meaningful only because of this backlink scoring software (aka PRV). How important Page Rank (PRV) is for your website. Not very important, but it also had major share in offering Google rankings. You can get indepth about Google PR from official google source Mattcutts Blog.

PageRank™ (PR)
PageRank is Google’s ranking software that calculates the relevance of a webpage to the search keywords entered. The software analyses both the number of incoming links and the ‘quality’ of the referring webpage to generate a relative measurement between 0 (low-relevance) and 10 (high-relevance). (The ‘quality’ of the referring webpage is an abstract measure of how authoritative it is on the subject matter.)

Improved Page Rank for my website & blogs:
I had seen very strict steps taken from Google for October 2007 PR Updates. Luckily Google has paid for my hardwork by giving good page rank value for my blogs.

http://blogs.hexaware.com/ - PRV increased from Zero(0) to 3.
http://www.hexaware.com/ - PRV increased from 5 to 6.
http://seoresumes.blogspot.com/ - PRV increased from 1 to 2.
http://toprankseo.blogspot.com/ - PRV increased from Zero(0) to 2.
http://afzal-khan.blogspot.com/ - PRV increased from Zero(0) to 2.
http://seoexpertresume.googlepages.com PRV increased from Zero(0) to 2.
http://googleseoexpert.wordpress.com/ - PRV increased from Zero(0) to 2.

I am waiting to see some more changes.

Web 2.O Marketing - Social Media Marketing

Web 2.0 - What You Need to Know

By Michael Fleischner | Internet Marketing Expert*

By now you've heard the term "Web 2.0"... but what does it mean and why is it important for all marketers? Here's a quick explanation and my thoughts on the importance of the Web 2.0 movement.

"Web 2.0" is a weird phrase. It began as the name of a conference, but the people organizing the conference didn't really know what they meant by it. Mostly they thought it sounded catchy. However, "Web 2.0" has since taken on a meaning. There are some interesting new trends on the Web, and it's the nature of a phrase like that to adhere to them.

From what I can gather, Web 2.0 is all about the social networks being created on the web. Websites like Digg, MySpace, Flickr, Blogger, Wikis, etc. are all operating inside this bubble we call Web 2.0. If you want a really detailed explanation of Web 2.0, visit the site that started it all at http://www.oreillynet.com. I'll save you a lot of reading... it's complicated – but incredibly simple at the same time.

Web 2.0 simply defines the evolution of the world wide web. It describes the Internet as it was intended to be - a resource that allows for information creation, sharing, and dissemination. Why is this important to us as marketers? Because marketing is all about WOM (you guessed it, "Word-of-Mouth"), building brand, and communicating your message.

If you've been following the blogging circles lately, you’ve not doubt heard of the latest controversy- blogging for payment. The idea that someone would actually pay you to blog about their products or services would only be possible in the Web 2.0 world. Yet it’s indicative of Web 2.0. In this environment its all about information sharing, ideas, and communities with similar likes and dislikes.

The viral nature of Web 2.0 is contagious. Just visit Digg or Del.icio.us and you'll soon find out what I'm talking about. As a marketer in this environment, you have to understand the importance of viral marketing and managing your marketing messages - even creating a buzz around your products.

Some of the leading brands have been doing this for ages… Nike giving away their sneakers to the best athlete at a school; PowerBar giving away samples to athletes, and so on. The only thing that’s changed with Web 2.0 is vehicle. In addition to ‘feet-on-the-street’, there are now online tools – communities that are available to spread your message.

Developing a Strategy

The best way to utilize this new technology is to really understand the value that each has to offer. Begin with a clear understanding of your desired outcome. Then, consider the tools in your tool box. For example, if you want to communicate how customers feel about a given topic or issue, maybe you want to blog about it… or conduct an interview via a podcast.

You should approach your Web 2.0 with the same strategy you use when developing your traditional marketing plan. An integrated approach always works best. Regardless of the vehicle, apply the same basic marketing standards you do today. Use messaging points, create value, and segment.

How to create Google Sitemap & Yahoo Sitemap.

Create a Google Sitemap for your Web Site
Copyright Herman Drost
Posted on this blog by Afzal Khan

Google Sitemaps is a simple and fast way for your site to be constantly indexed and updated by Google.

This article will discuss the benefits of implementing this new technology, who should use it, how it works and how to create a Google Sitemap for your web site.

Benefits of having a Google Site Map

1. Speeds up the discovery and addition of your web pages in the Google index.

2. Enables Google to quickly find web pages that have been recently changed.

3. A method for your site to be listed and appear quickly in Google.

4. Helps Google to keep search content fresh, so people have the most up to date information available.

Who should use Google Sitemaps?

All site owners can use Google sitemaps whether you have one page or millions of pages, however it's mostly geared towards people that make frequent changes to their web pages.

Normally web pages on a large site will not all get indexed because the links are too deep within the site. By including all your pages in the Google Sitemap you have a better chance of them all being indexed as Google thrives on fresh content. According to Google, it won't increase your site's rankings.

How does it work?
Google sitemaps are created using XML (Extensible Markup Language). This is a coding language similar to HTML(though a little more complex). It is often used these days in syndicated feeds or blogs.

Here is the sample XML code you would include for each page of your site:
<.url><.br ><.loc>http://www.yoursite.com/<./loc>
<.lastmod>2005-07-15
<. changefreq >monthly<./changefreq>
<.priority >0.5 <./priority>
<./url>

Here is a breakdown of what each line represents:
location - name of your webpage ie http://www.yoursite.com
last modified - when you last modified the page.
change frequency - tells Google how often you modify that particular page, whether it's never, weekly, daily, hourly, monthly or yearly.
priority - sets the priority you want Google to place for that page on your site. You can prioritize your pages: 0.0 being the least, 1.0 being the highest, 0.5 is in the middle.

This is only relative to your site. It will not affect your rankings. Certain pages on your site may have more significance than others because they are updated more
often ie home page, articles page.

How to Create a Dynamic Google SiteMap XML File
It would take a long time to create your Google Sitemap by hand especially if you have a site that contains 1000s of pages.

Fortunately Google provides the Sitemap Generator that allows you to generate a sitemap very quickly. It's a Python script that creates a Sitemap for your site using
the Sitemap Protocol. This script can create Sitemaps from URL lists, web server directories, or from access logs.

You can read more about it here:
https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/login

Other Sitemap Generators.
Google has also compiled a list of third party generators.

Personally I use the free sitemap generator It's simple to use and quickly produces the necessary XML code for your site.

Here are the steps on how to create your Sitemap using this free Sitemap Generator:

1. Go to http://www.sitemapspal.com and enter your site's address.
2. Copy the code that it generates for your site and paste it into notepad.
3. Save the text file as sitemap.xml
4. Upload this file to the root directory (same place as your home page) of your web server.
5. Open up a Google Site Map account and submit your site's address.
6. Every time you modify a page or pages, login to your Google account and click on the resubmit button.
7. Repeat this procedure for all of your web sites.

Conclusion

Google is still the largest and most accessed search engine on Net. Each year millions of web sites get added to Google making your site harder to find. Creating a Google Sitemap will help your web pages stay fresh in Google's index.

Ranking for my Blogs as on 28th June, 2007

Yahoo!!! Rankings



Google Rankings for "SEO Expert Resume Blog"

My SEO Expert Resumes ranking on 2nd position in Google for keyphrase "SEO Expert Resumes & SEO Expert Resume Blog" Since I had optimized this blog to get rank at # 1 in Google, so I am not concerned much about Yahoo, MSN or other search engine rankings. As far my experience says, if you can bring your site or blog ranking on Google, you can achieve that so easily on other search engines. Although every site is optimized based on target search engines, since every search engine is having their own Algorithm to provide rankings. Like Google & Yahoo the both displays different results altogether for same Keyword, also no official from these Search Engines reveals their algorithm. It's all about reading articles & keeping watch on latest trends from Search Engine World, and most importantly it's the result displayed by search engines for my other Client's website. It's all about dedicating myself for search engines and applying that knowledge which I gained from various pros & cons.

Do check my other Blogs for which I am sure to achieve better rankings soon.

Blogspot domains blocked in India!

Hey Folks!!!

Recently came to know about a very sad news for Indian Bloggers, those who are using blogger as a main platform for Blogging.

Blogs are blocked in India

Well I certainly don't think that Blogspot.com
have been blocked in India. I am able to access my blogs daily and not faced as such trouble in using that yet. Might be Indian Government is tried to block Blogger.com in some region/state. Which is also right, coz many terrorist are using such facilities in communicating with each other. Like wise reports has also coming to banned Orkut.com in stopping terrorist hijacking identity of innocent users. But whatever the reason may be, it has been reported by many prominent & Professional Indian Bloggers & raised the issue of this problem.

I am also with them, coz no body has right of stopping Blogger's to write & publish their views. It has become an daily routine for every Blogger & without blogging, it seems something missing in my life. Every Indian blogger or rather say every Blogger is against such step.

I am quoting down the Article which I found through search.

Well, recently internet users in India are not able to access those blogs which are hosted by blogspot or have a domain name which ends with blogspot.com

Jason Goldman has confirmed this in the Blogger Buzz and if that is the case then this is a very serious issue as many well know bloggers from India use Blogger as their blog platform.

Well, people are not sure about the reasons for the block and everybody is keen to know the reasons of it and some of them are relating the ban to the Mumbai Blasts.

Well, whatever the reasons are for the ban, I am sure that Google will try its level best to take this Ban away because they are finding India as one of the biggest sector and customer base in almost every service they are offering.

Also one the first Professional Indian blogger Mr. Amit Agrawal has also quoted and raised his voice against blocking of blogger and other Blog hosting sites in India.

I am very much impressed by him and regularly reading his blog at Digital Point. He has came up with great resource and alternative solution to read Blocked blogs in India. Great efforts dude, you can read the whole article at Blogspot Blogs Banned in India: Read Tricks To Access Blocked Websites
