Top Challenge of Digital Marketing in India

Educating the client:
Do you prefer to have a good client? Take some time and effort to educate them on digital marketing. Having a huge budget earmarked for digital media or just having a Facebook page is not going to help anyways. Its easy to entice and convince client with digital parlance, but on longterm you will have a disappointed and grumpy client. No agency would prefer that. Extra effort to train client will pay you on longterm. We contemplate this fact and have various training modules of Digital marketing Expert.

Engagement is the fundamental:
“Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don’t know which half” as quipped by John Wanamaker long time ago doesn’t hold in digital marketing as such. We spend, measure and improvise here with the watchword ROI. Here is the trouble in disguise- let go off the engagement factor. When I mean engagement, it’s not about the impressions, reach or SOV, but it’s more of intangible and broadly AIDA (Attention Interest Desire Action) principles of Advertising.

Diversity-
East to West, North to South, planning for a nationwide campaign or at a regional level, the interest, culture and tastes vary and is very visible in any digital platform. This is a debatable issue, as people use internet in the universal language english and covers the educated middle and upper class. True, but local flavours rule the roost. Take any successful marketing campaign in offline, we get the connect. Going forward where smart phones and mobile penetration will be higher than broadband, Digital Marketers have many platforms opened up to experiment. The challenge and success depends on understanding the diversity.

Matrices Vs Creativity:
Loads of data are available once a digital campaign is running or even while at the planning stage. Obsessed with data and its interpretation may lead to overlooking creativity by digital marketer. Coming up with really out-of-the-box idea or replicating some successful campaign or even tweaking an already successful campaign to get more leverage or any other viable options, should have proper balance with creativity and matrices.

Getting it Integrated:
Any digital campaign with its well defined goals have many platforms- e-mailers, sms,ad words, special promotions on Social media and SEO and ORM which area long-term affair and many more to come in future. Each of these platforms has its own perils and should be approached with its own expertise. Thankfully, at present there are agencies /individuals who have expertise in each area and all a good Digital Marketer has to do is get it integrated.

Advanced Technical SEO: Page Speed - Site Migrations and Crawling

Is 301 redirecting recommend - image URLs when changing domains? Excellent question! Yes, redirecting your images can definitely help preserve ranking signals for image search, and we’ve seen similar declines in image rankings/traffic for sites that fail to redirect images. If you think about it, images build up the same types of ranking signals over time as regular web pages. Failing to redirect images would essentially be seen by bots as releasing a set of entirely new images; just like web pages, it will take some time for those new resources to build up the ranking signals needed to be competitive in image search. That said, traffic to images usually only makes up a tiny percentage of overall organic traffic; analyzing those numbers can help you prioritize image redirects in your overall migration plan.

Google launches new search engine to help scientists find the datasets they need

Dataset Search could be a scientist’s best friend Google’s goal has always been to organize the world’s information, and its first target was the commercial web. Now, it wants to do the same for the scientific community with a new search engine for datasets. The service, called Dataset Search, launches today, and will be a companion of sorts to Google Scholar, the company’s popular search engine for academic studies and reports. Institutions that publish their data online, like universities and governments, will need to include metadata tags in their webpages that describe their data, including who created it, when it was published, how it was collected, and so on. This information will then be indexed by Dataset Search and combined with input from Google’s Knowledge Graph. (That’s the name for those boxes that pop up for common searches. So if dataset X was published by CERN, some info about the institute will also be included in the results.)

When Does an App Make Sense?

Despite the many inherent benefits of the mobile web, apps are still very popular, and there are a number of specific use scenarios where an app will be your best choice. Generally speaking, if you need one of the following, an app makes sense: Interactivity/Gaming – for interactive games (think Angry Birds) an app is almost always going to be your best choice, at least for the foreseeable future. Regular Usage/Personalization – If your target users are going to be using your app in a personalized fashion on a regular basis (think EverNote) then an app provides a great way to do that. Complex Calculations or Reporting – If you need something that will take data and allow you to manipulate it with complex calculations, charts or reports (think banking or investment) an app will help you do that very effectively.
