Search Engine Optimization

a chart to describe the search engine marketImage via WikipediaSEO- Search Engine Optimization is a technique with the help of which search engines index,find and display in search results-through Organic search(not sponsored)-when a search is made with keywords related to the site content.
                      In other words SEO means the process of optimizing a site so as to make them search engine friendly-increasing the chances of a website for being found in search results. Search engines generally crawl websites specifically for keywords related to the search  made by a user . When you have a website and nice collection of content it may range from articles,to pics,and videos etc. then the next step you've got to do is start digging the internet for visitors, well yes....that's the most competitive part of internet marketing.
There are a number of ways to attract visitors to a site.......to name some these can range from adding a blog url to search engines,pinging, commenting on forums and groups with interests related to your site's content and leaving a link behind, publicizing through social networking sites, paid advertisements(like adwords), using site circles like Techorati,Stumble upon etc........I'll be further elaborating all these aspects on my upcoming  articles. So, hold on.....

Clicks count : So does your time!

Time is one of the most precious aspects of life, which once lost cannot be regained. Wasting time is therefore the worst of unnoticed mistakes that we make in life.
                         An hour is worth more than an empty promise or a few cents. Nowadays as internet marketing is getting under a swift competition, simultaneously  a number of elements are growing that waste your time.
A large number of Paid To Click(PTC) sites are present on the internet, amongst which most are cheat funds, while some of them which are genuine have high payout levels such as $100,$200 .....
The banners and articles seem promising but in reality it is not so.  One must make their earnings to the payout level for redeeming, making out such high payout levels may take months of  hard work and patience.
Most of these sites merely pay $0.01-$0.05 per click which is not considerable when compared to your time*work*electricity*and internet bills. Because  of which many opportunity hungry people commit sincere mistakes by wasting their weekends.
Nay i'm not criticizing the good ones as well, that pay their clients as promised. But some of the PTC websites are by anonymous individuals and internet marketers. Some are free to register while some charge a certain amount. And  there's no guarantee whether you can make out the amount, on the other-hand you may be cheated. In my view one should take  specific precautions while choosing for a PTC site or else it is better not to waste time by getting lured to hoaxes and frauds.

Graphic Designing ;) What's that?

st imagine a webpage at present as those during the 80's, a book without any colourful illustration, advertisements without any specific vectors .........blah..,blah,...blah....would'nt it be boring?
Had not there been skilled graphic graphic designers these all would be in their initial form.
Graphic Designing nowadays is emerging as a lucrative career for those with a creative bent of mind. Graphic designing involves creating graphics by combining art and technology  (attractive computer designed designs)  How is this done? Well there are a number of programs such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign, Inkscape, 3D rendering pros. like 3d Max, Maya  etc. which are programs specifically designed with sets of inbuilt tools to give special effects, tints, renderings etc. Graphic designers are employed by websites, advertising agencies, book publishers, design related companies, fashion magazines etc. In some cases some are hired by multiple clients.
                            Many of you may ask, whether it requires a college degree for pursuing a career in graphic designing.,.............My answer would be in two folds, first is that many graphic designers working today are  self taught, Art is not a thing that can be purchased for a price. :)
I'm not despising the learned ones as well;  nowadays every field of art is under a competition and for that a basic diploma or a 12 months.....two or three year college degree is important to have a more chance of getting employed.
Most of the employers in today's business world  look  for a written proof of one's eligibility. Therefore a professional training is very necessary. Moreover a certificate or a degree without an inner talent and willingness to work hard is of no use.
