    Introduction

    Industry profile

    A Brief History of Information Technology

    The information technology is not new to the world. It is been used from many

    years but they were in different forms and different techniques were used. As time

    passed the technology also went on changing, The IT got a new dimension when it got

    the technology support. There are few stages which help us to know about the changes

    happened in the IT sector.

    1. The Premechanical Age: 3000 B.C. - 1450 A.D.

    During this period the people were trying to use some symbols, pictures and tried to

    communicate by speaking to each other. By Around 2000 B.C., Phoenicians created

    symbols, later The Greeks later adopted the Phoenician alphabet and added vowels; the

    Romans gave the letters Latin names to create the alphabet we use today. Sumerians'

    input technology was a stylus that could scratch marks in wet clay. About 2600 B.C.,

    the Egyptians write on the papyrus plant and later, around 100 A.D., the Chinese made

    paper from rags, on which modern-day papermaking is based. The Religious leaders in

    Mesopotamia kept the earliest "books" for future reference. The Egyptians kept scrolls

    and Around 600 B.C., the Greeks began to fold sheets of papyrus vertically into leaves

    and bind them together, later the number system started by Egyptian system ,The

    numbers 1-9 as vertical lines, the number 10 as a U or circle, the number 100 as a

    coiled rope, and the number 1,000 as a lotus blossom. The first numbering systems

    similar to those in use today were invented between 100 and 200 A.D. by Hindus in

    India who created a nine-digit numbering system. Around 875 A.D., the concept of zero

    was developed. And by using the zero and one the computers are operated.

    2. The Mechanical Age: 1450 - 1840

    This was the stage where the machines were used to speed up the work and to

    make the work easier. The First Information Explosion was by Johann Gutenberg who

    invented the movable metal-type printing process in 1450.the name computer was

    1

    given to those people who were working with numbers. Under this stage the invented

    the first basic model of calculator and a slide rule. This by gradual development of book

    indexes and the widespread by using the page numbers.

    3. The Electromechanical Age: 1840 - 1940.

    During this period the machines were used with the help of electricity to store and

    retrieve the data. The few machines which were used during this period are radio,

    Morse Code machines, telegraph, electronic waves. The discovery of ways to harness

    electricity was the key advance made during this period. Knowledge and information

    could now be converted into electrical impulses. In the beginning of telecommunication

    around late 18th

    century Voltaic battery was found later in early 1800s telegram wasused. Again in the year 1835 Samuel Morse developed Morse Code in which dots &

    dashes were used. In the year 1876 Alexander Graham Bell invented Telephone &

    Radio which is still in existence. Followed by the discovery that electrical waves travel

    through space and can produce an effect far from the point at which they originated.

    These two events led to the invention of the radio by Guglielmo Marconi in 1894. Then

    Electromechanical computing was invented by Herman Hollerith and IBM.During this

    period the IBM invented a machine which was used to Paper tape stored data and

    program instructions. This machine was ready for use on January 1942,it was built by

    using 8 feet tall, 51 feet long, 2 feet thick, weighed 5 tons, used about 750,000 parts.

    4. The Electronic Age: 1940 - Present.

    The generation of computers was found in this stage. Hear the computers were

    made able to use the vacuum tubes. Then Eckert and Mauchly found first high speed

    General-Purpose Computer using Vacuum Tubes called Electronic NumericalIntegrator and Computer (ENIAC) in 1946. Then many machines came into existence

    later personal computer was invented later even super computers have been used, now

    laptops & palm tops are widely used.

    By seeing the above four stages of the computer we can come to know the process of

    information technology is changing day by day. Now the computers are playing a

    tremendous role in the field of information technology.

    Indias software exporting industry is one of the worlds successful information

    technology industries. Begun in 1974, it employed 345,000 persons in 2004 and earned

    revenue of $12.2 bln, equal to 3.3% of global software services spending. the industry

    originated under untypical conditions. Local markets were absent and government

    policy toward private enterprise was hostile. These conditions influenced the industrys

    origins. The industry was begun by Bombay-based conglomerates which entered the

    business by supplying global IT firms located overseas with programmers. Their

    success owed to the innovative exploitation of a new global market opportunity and

    protection from transnational corporations and startups by policy.

    IT INDUSTRY IN INDIA

    The Indian information technology sector has been instrumental in driving the

    nation's economy onto the rapid growth curve. According to the Nasscom-Deloitte

    study, the IT/ITES industry's contribution to the country's GDP has increased to a share

    of 5.2 per cent in 2007, as against 1.2 per cent in 1998.

    Further, the IT and BPO industries are poised to clock revenues worth US$ 64

    billion by the end of fiscal year 2008, registering a growth of 33 per cent with exports

    expected to cross US$ 40 billion and the domestic market estimated to clock over US$

    23 billion, according to a study. Simultaneously, the Indian IT services market is

    estimated to remain the fastest growing in the Asia Pacific region with a CAGR of 18.6

    per cent, as per a study by Springboard Research.

    India's IT growth in the world is primarily dominated by IT software and

    services such as Custom Application Development and Maintenance (CADM), System

    Integration, IT Consulting, Application Management, Infrastructure ManagementServices, Software testing, Service-oriented architecture and Web services.

    A report by the Electronics and Software Export Promotion Council (ESC)

    estimates software exports to register a 33 per cent growth in the current financial year

    with export figures during FY 2008 expected to reach US$ 45 billion. The country's IT

    exports have, in fact, come quite far, starting from a few million dollars in the early

    1990s. The Government expects the exports turnover to touch US$ 80 billion by 2011,

    growing at an annual rate of 30 per cent per annum.

    CAREER PROSPECTS

    In the year 2006-07, the industry hired approximately 3, 80,000 people. Out of

    these, the IT sector hired 2, 00,000 people and the rest were taken by IT sector. The

    recruitment trends of some IT giants are given below:

    TCS- 35,000

    Infosys-30,000

    Wipro-28,000

    Satyam-20,000

    Some of the areas of specialization in the IT Industry are-

    Designing

    Research and Development in Peripheral Integration

    Product Quality Control and Reliability Testing Computer Manufacturing

    Maintenance Service

    System Developing /Programming /Software Engineering

    Networking

    Application Programming

    EDP/ E- Commerce

    Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)

    Database Warehousing and Management

    Operating jobs, Computer operators, Data Entry

    Government attitude to the information sector

    Changes in information technology have the potential for impacting the way in

    which individuals participate in politics, such as future online voting and registration,

    6

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    7/56

    and obtain information from government. Yet because of unequal access to technology,

    the Internet may only increase turnout rates or information among those who are

    already predisposed to vote or become engaged, broadening the gulf between those

    groups that do and do not participate. Consistent with cross-national accounts of the

    digital divide, our data on willingness to use information technology for political

    purposes reveals a democratic divide individuals with higher education and income are

    more supportive of digital democracy, and are more likely to participate in politics

    online. Our research suggests the Internet may increase the participation gap based on

    education and income, while reducing the disparities in participation based on age.

    Overall support for different forms of political participation varied from a low of 48%

    for online voting, to a high of 78% for searching for government information online.

    Education emerged as the most important factors in the democratic divide. Support for

    online voting and online registration were 19 and 22 percentage points higher among

    individuals with a college degree compared to those with only a high school diploma,

    holding other factors constant. This mirrors existing disparities in civic participation,

    which are largely associated with educational differences. This suggests that in order to

    close the democratic divide in cyberspace, as well as traditional politics, education will

    be crucial as well as access to technology

    Competitive conditions

    No industry in market is free from threats, so the threats and rivalry or the

    competitors are common in the business. This can be easily explained with the help of

    the Five Forces Model of Porter.

    In the Five Forces Model, Porter explains that in any industry there are five forces that

    influence what happens within the industry:

    7

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    8/56

    1. Rivalry among Existing companies

    2. Threat of new entrants

    3. Threat of substitutes

    4. Bargaining power of suppliers

    5. Bargaining power of buyers

    The porters model helps us to identify our business competitors and the threats. IT

    business is never out of threats and Rivals. IT companies have many compotators as

    well as threat of new entrains, as IT is never ending as it is coming with new and new

    innovations to reduce the work load. The IT business is still a child in this sector. The

    life for this sector in very long. So the new companies are entering into this business

    day by day.

    Competitors:

    Those companies which are providing the same services which we are providing

    in the market. The companies which want to overtake our company by providing the

    same services to the customers.

    8

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    9/56

    New Entrants:

    These are the companies which are coming into the same market to provide the

    same service, which is been right now provided by us and by our compotators. These

    are entering into market to compete with us.

    Customers:

    The people who need softwares and web sites for their organization.

    Suppliers:

    In IT sector there are very less physical suppliers, but the IT companies suppliers are

    the companies who will provide them by there needs to develop a software and web

    site. Some of them are the domain name provider, templates provider, programmer

    writers.

    Substitutes:

    Other means and sources for the same products, web hosting, designing, web

    maintaining, securities for web sites.

    Using the five forces, we can get a clearer picture of the business environment in which

    our Website competes.

    Future Ahead

    The Indian IT sector continues to be one of the important sector which will lead,India to become a developed country.

    Future of IT Industry in INDIA

    Expected 33% growth rate in FY2008 to reach US$ 45 billion.

    Govt. expects the export turn over to touch US$ 80 billion by 2011, with

    growing at an annual rate of 30 % per year.

    McKinsey believes revenues from IT Industry will reach $87bn by 2008.

    10/56

    A report prepared by McKinsey for NASSCOM, the exports component of the

    Indian industry is expected to reach US$ 175 billion in revenue by 2020. The domestic

    component will contribute US$ 50 billion in revenue by 2020. Together, the export and

    domestic markets are likely to bring in US$ 225 billion in revenue, as new opportunities

    emerge in areas such as public sector and healthcare, and as geographies including

    BRIC and Japan opt for greater outsourcing.

    One of the major advantage of IT sector of India is that, India is only 25%

    dependent on the U.S orders.75% it is free from U.S staments or actions against the IT

    sector. Indias IT exports to touch US$ 60 billion by 2010. Exports Contribute Nearly

    65 % of IT Sector Revenue.

    7 S Model

    Style:

    Infosys believes that leadership is one of the most essential ingredients of

    organizational success which is provided by its Chairman, N R Narayanmurthy.Leadership is based on high business vision and predominantly supportive styles. There

    is emphasis on developing leadership qualities among employees. For this purpose, it

    has established "Infosys Leadership Institute". Top management emphasizes on open

    door policy, continuous sharing of information, takes inputs from employees in decision

    making, and builds personal rapport with employees. As we have seen over last few

    years, we have seen smooth transition from N R Narayanmurthy to Nandan Nilakeni

    and from Nandan Nilakeni toKris Gopalkrishnanwithout any adverse effects on the

    company outlook and each one has proved to be an able leader taking company

    forward.

    Staff (Human Resources):

    Since Infosys ucis in knowledge-based industry, it focuses on the quality of the

    human resources. Out of total personnel, about 90 per cent are engineers. At the entry

    level, it emphasizes on selecting candidates who find the company's meritocratic culturesatisfying, superior academic records, technical skills, and high level of learn ability.

    The company emphasizes on training and development of its employees on continuous

    basis and spends about 2.65 per cent of its revenues on up gradation of employees'

    skills, and around 50% as employee costs. In spite of thousands of people joining every

    month, Infosys has been able to maintain its training standard mostly due to its highly

    matured processes capabilities and investment in infrastrture.

    Strategy:

    Infosys has adopted a client-focused strategy to achieve growth. Rather

    than focusing on numerous small organizations, it focuses on limited number of large

    organizations throughout world. In order to cater its clients, the company emphasizes

    on custom-built softwares. Another differentiating factor for Infosys is that it

    commands premium margins. Company does not negotiate over margins beyond a

    certain limit and some time prefers to walk-out rather than compromise on quality for

    13

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    14/56

    low-cost contracts. This has helped in building an image for quality driven model rather

    than cost-differentiating model.

    Shared Values:

    Values are important part of Infosys's organizational culture. In fact its tagline depicts

    how much emphasis it lays on core values. The core values are:

    Customer Delight: A commitment to surpassing customer expectations.

    Leadership by Example: A commitment to set standards in business and

    transactions and be an exemplar for the industry and teams.

    Integrity and Transparency: A commitment to be ethical, sincere and open in

    our dealings.

    Fairness: A commitment to be objective and transaction-oriented, thereby

    earning trust and respect.

    Pursuit of Excellence: A commitment to strive relentlessly, to constantly

    improve ourselves, our teams, our services and products so as to become the best.

    System:

    Infosys focuses on emerging trends, new technologies, specific industries and

    pervasive business issues that confront our clients. In recent years, it has added new

    serviceofferings, such as consulting, business process management, systems integration

    and infrastructure management, which are major contributors to its growth.

    Structure:

    The company has adopted a free form organization devoid of hierarchies. Everyone is

    known as associates irrespective of his position in the company. Software development

    is undertaken through teams and the constitution of teams is based on the principle of

    flexibility. A member, who might have been team leader in one project, may be

    replaced by another member of the same team for another project. This system not only

    helps in creating the feeling of equality but also helps in developing project leaders.

    Skills:

    From last year, Infosys has made it mandatory for every employee 7uto clear a

    predefined certifications, domain as well as technical, in order to be eligible for

    appraisal. This is just one of the initiatives taken by Infosys which signifies the effortstaken for building competencies. Apart from internal initiatives like knowledge

    14

    management, Infosys has been CMM-Level 5 certified for its process capabilities.

    Infosys has entered the Balanced Scorecard Hall of Fame for Executing Strategy for

    achieving breakthrough performance results using the Balanced Scorecard (BSC).

    SWOT ANALYSIS OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SECTOR

    Strengths

    Large human resources

    Every year, approximately 19 million students are enrolled in high schools and 10

    million students in pre-graduate degree courses across India. Moreover, 2.1 million

    graduates and 0.3 million post-graduates pass out of India's non-engineering colleges.

    While 2.5-3 percent of them find jobs in other fields or pursue further studies abroad,

    the rest opt for employment in the IT industry. If the flow from high schools to graduate

    courses increases even marginally, there will be a massive increase in the number of

    skilled workers available to the industry. Even at current rates, there will approximately

    be 17 million people available to the IT industry by 2008.

    Indian Education System

    The Indian education system places strong emphasis on mathematics and science,

    resulting in a large number of science and engineering graduates. Mastery over

    quantitative concepts coupled with English proficiency has resulted in a skill set that

    has enabled the country to take advantage of the current international demand for IT.

    Quality Manpower

    Indian programmers are known for their strong technical skills and their eagerness

    to accommodate clients. In some cases, clients outsource work to get access to more

    17

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    18/56

    specialized engineering talent, particularly in the area of telecommunications. India also

    has one of the largest pools of English-speaking professionals.

    Excessive dependence on BFSI sector for revenues - Banking sector is facing

    a crisis globally and is going to spend less on IT.

    High rates of attrition - Although slowdown in global economy has lowered

    attrition rate but the industry still faces high attrition rates as compared to

    other sectors.

    18

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    19/56

    Decreasing competitive advantage - rising salary expenses is taking away the

    IT development concentrated in a few cities only

    Lack of data security systems

    SWOT ANALYSIS OF FORADIAN TECHNOLOGIES

    Strengths:

    The strong man power

    Experienced advisor

    Young and dynamic designers

    A software company with marketing department

    Concentrating on many services in one sector

    Weaknesses:

    Less known to big companies

    Opportunities:

    Increasing online marketing

    Brand building conscious is getting popular

    Threats:

    The big competitors like wipro and Infosys

    Rescission

    Setup cost

    Suggestions to company:

    1. Companies must provide diverse services to refrain from being over-dependent andincreasing exposure to the vulnerabilities of few sectors/companies/geographies.

    2. Provide more high-end services in value chain (3rd WAVE in IT)

    There is a move required from ADM (Application Development and maintenance),

    BPO to Consulting and Package Implementation, etc.

    3. Shift in focus from Low cost advantage to high quality services.

    4. Consolidation and strategic acquisitions are essential for future growth of revenues.

    5. Quickly adapt to high growth markets is necessary: In FY2010, Indian domestic

    market grew by 20%.

    Web designing:

    The company can design a web site according to the customer needs. The

    company can design a basic and super class model web site. The company follows three

    format of web site designing, those are web1.0, web2.0(zumra) and web 3.0(Ruby on

    Rails) the rates of the web site will differ according to these formats and the models.

    The companys basic model starts from RS 3000 and the higher end models goes to

    lacks and cores.

    28

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    29/56

    The higher end models include Flash, Sound, Videos, owner update

    capacity,own E-Mail ID,chat room and many more facilities with high server service.

    Opportunities:

    The company finds a huge opportunity in this web designing because the

    company says that,ther are many companies are coming into the market and now India

    is in growing in its no of internet users. so the company can trace the new companies

    which are coming in and after providing them a web site will not end there contact

    because no company will keep the same design and service for long type they will

    update and for up dated they had to contact us again and also yearly they had to revival

    there demine name. So for all these purposes they had to come back to us again. So the

    company says that if they get a customer, then their relationship of business will be

    never ending.

    Threats:

    There are many companies which are working as web designers. So the

    competition it this field is growing rapidly. Catching the big customers is very difficult

    in this big compotation business. The awareness of web site in small towns and cities is

    very less.

    Software development:

    All the business are growing and all are trying to widen there business and to do

    this there are taking the support of online business and softwares to support there

    business. To standardize there business they use computer billing, bar-coding, cc-

    camera e.t.c.

    Opportunities:

    There are many companies which are providing many hard drives which support

    the business in many aspects. So the hard drive only cant work for their business, they

    need a specific form of software, which can work according to their need and to make

    their business process easy.

    Threats:

    Many of the hard ware providers are using their own software for many

    business people and the government offices and banks all call tenders for these

    softwares of any other business orders.

    Brand identity:

    Today the company are not only concentrating on the selling and making profit.

    Now a days the business people think of profit but not only on the present one but now

    29

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    30/56

    there are thinking the profit of the future. So in order to get more customers towards

    then and to sustain the old customers with them for the future, they had to build a strong

    identity that is of their brand. So now a day the brand identity is very necessary to make

    a strong place in the market. Brand identity will be including Stationary designing and

    visiting card designing and the posters and paper ads designs and there stickers designs.

    All the things which will reach their customers which make them attract to make a

    business with them.

    Opportunities:

    Providing an attractive brand identity to a business is not so easy, so the

    company had tried in and got a good result in it. There are very less companies which

    are into brand identity business and we are one among them. There are very few

    competitors in this brand identity sector. So by our impressing work we can overtake

    the other few companies and make our own way in this sector of market.

    Threats:

    The brand conscious in metro city is not a problem, but in other r big cities like

    mysore,hubli,davangere,shimoga,manglore and many ore city which have good

    business in many sector they dont have the brand conscious. And the business people

    who are well success in their business in their own Reagan are not aware of the benefits

    from the brand building.

    Packing designing:

    Packing has its own place in the marketing place. Packing acts as a silent sales

    man in the market. He packing is called as a silent sales man who wont interact with

    the customers, but it will make a customer to buy the product by the designs and colors

    of the packs. Sometimes the products promotion will get famous by its packing. One of

    the best example for this is the Mb rice. This rice product had created a smash sales in

    the beginning and after 3 months the company got shutdown to to the defective product

    inside the packing.

    Opportunities:

    The packing designs are getting famous now a days and many companies are

    believing that packing matters to their products promotion and sales. In this sector also

    there are only a few companies into this business, because till now the pickings were

    30

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    31/56

    designed by the people who were working for the banners and outdoor advertisements,

    but now the companies are coming into the professional who particularly designs the

    attractive packs. Now this is just the beginning and we can see that all the companies

    are concentrating on there pickings.

    EX: Dairy fresh ice cream, shanthala silks, Videocon, Dabur, Tele phone

    companies.

    Threats:

    The only threat in this sector is that the small outdoor advertisers and the flex

    printers in the local areas. These people will directly contact them with their local links

    and they will make the designs for free if they get the flex printing and the outdoor ads

    for free of cost.

    Logo designing:

    Logo means a design or a sign which denotes a message or which gives an

    identity of a company or a organization. Now the logo also works as a brand identity,

    which creates a standard of the products. Some logos acts as prestigious.

    EX: FILA, adidas, Rebok, pepsi, coke e.t.c

    Opportunities:

    There are many companies in the market who dont have their logo and there

    are many companies in the market who want to change their logo according to their

    business is changing. So there is a huge demand for the logo designers.

    Threats:

    There are many competitors in this field. And many old people dont want to

    change their logo which had come from their grandfathers days.

    Web Hosting:

    Our host rating system is based on the customer satisfaction, affordability,

    reliability, uptime and technical support. Probably the most critical success factor in E-

    Commerce is the web hosting platform and server performance. Website hosting and

    your web server needs to be economical, robust and web administration friendly to

    ensure swift server response time, uptime, download speeds, database applications, e-

    mail functioning and bandwidth

    Opportunities:

    We are giving the cheapest rate in the market as compared to other companies

    in market. So the customers prefer us to give their business.

    31

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    32/56

    Threats:

    The old companies in the market are providing the hosting the sites of their

    clients for full free. This will affect us in the market to grow faster.

    E-MAILS:

    Email ids are that the company provides separate email ids for the customers as per

    their preference. In this if the customer wants email ids less than 50 it will be under the

    domain name of Google and if they want more than 50 a separate domain name will be

    given. E.g. [email protected],[email protected]

    Opportunities:

    As now a day the companies are now doing more online business, the

    companies need to deal with the E-Mail. So the companies now a days want to have

    their own companies id.

    Threats:

    As many companies who are starting newly are not ready to invest on this. And

    the existing companies do not come to know till we inform them regarding this plan.

    Web maintenance:

    Web maintenance is that the company takes care of editing the information

    according to the customers requirement and the charges for this web maintenance is

    charged on hourly basis.

    Opportunities:

    If a company gets its website then they had to upgrade at the time being and

    they had to consult us back to update their website.

    Threats:

    Many of the company will open there websites and they wont look up to their

    websites and they wont update it at the regular time being.

    Internet marketing (SEO):

    Now many peoples are using internet in homes and mobile. If they want any

    information on anything first they will type that in a search engine, which acts as a

    mediator between the user and his needs.

    Opportunities:

    It had become a habit to the people to use a search engine if they want to collect

    some information.

    32

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    33/56

    Threats:

    There are many search engines and one search engines link in first maybe last in

    the other.

    Working Capital:

    The detailed working capital estimates are to 25 lacks invested business started

    in kasergood and Mangalore branch. No bank loons are taken from banks.

    Selling arrangement: The Sales are directly handled by the directors itself with the

    help of qualified Staff of the company through commission agents & brokers.

    STUDY OF SEO

    INTRODUCTION:

    33

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    34/56

    Problem Statement: TO analyse the awareness of search engine optimization with

    respect customers of Foradian Technologies, Bangalore.

    In the research of Search engine optimization or SEO, how the peoples reaction

    will be there while they open there web site. And this research also tells us about what

    all this SEO guide walks you through and which are the major steps, which are to:

    Tune your content

    Optimize your design and code

    Get other sites to link to your pages

    Refresh content regularly

    Monitor results and continue to optimize

    What is Search Engine Optimization?

    Search Engine Optimization is one of the most cost-effective methods of

    advertising which contributes by providing one of the highest pre-qualified audiences-

    online.

    Objective of Search engine optimization:

    To check the awareness towards Search engine Optimization by the customers

    of Foradian.

    To evaluate the customers of foradian about Search Engine optimization

    concept.

    To analyze the usage of search engine optimization by the customers of

    34

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    35/56

    Limitations:

    All users will not know about this

    No particular company cant come first in list

    Lots of time required to do it

    Many of the business people wonder at many times that is his business making the

    most out of the Internet. Is he is the only using the Internet for faster and more efficient

    communication while his competitors are making money on it? Is there more that can

    be done using the World Wide Web?

    Now assume that a company is looking for a supplier in India, the first thing he

    will do is Search on the Internet. While searching he will come across millions of

    results, but he will limit yourself to the first, second or say maximum the third page. He

    would then shortlist 3-4 suppliers from there and begins his choose. This is how the

    supplier in India bags does business. Now imagine if this supplier was not listed on top

    rankings, he would have lost out on the opportunity to get the orders.

    This can be explained through an example:

    Top 10 websites receiving traffic from key Grand Theft Auto IV search terms. 4 weeks

    ending 15 05 2008.

    Some of the stages in the SEO Process:

    Key Phrase / Keyword Analysis

    An industry would be researched and a brainstorming session will be

    undertaken to arrive at a best set of keywords / key phrases pertaining to your business

    interest. This allows there team as well as our team to come up with best possible

    "outcome-based" key phrases for deriving optimal results through this program.

    Competition Analysis

    Our SEO professionals would analyze the competition on keywords / key

    phrases chosen by the company. We would tend to study websites which appear on top

    listings on search engines on those key phrases and strategies our service delivery

    accordingly. This analysis basically includes studying competitor back links, rankings,

    there wordings, their positions etc.

    Website & Content Analysis

    The website and content would be thoroughly analyses for the presence and

    density of the chosen keywords. We would also be reviewing your website for usability

    and adaptability with major search engines. Your website would also be checked for

    web-design standards and compliance. Compliance of SEF (Search Engine Friendly) of

    various types of sites is checked. For e.g. the seo and sef for a Joomla based site would

    be different from what a static site would require.

    Web-page Code Optimization

    36

  • 7/31/2019 Final Foradian

    37/56

    Our SEO specialists would code-optimize the website based on expertise and

    experience gained in optimizing various websites over a period of 4 years. Websites are

    code-optimized according to over 250 parameters identified by our experts and ensure

    that websites are crawled by search engine crawlers and eventually rank higher on

    search engines. Different practices are adopted for sites which are made on different

    platforms. Again SEO for a Joomla based site could be different from SEO for a Static

    Website.

    Ongoing Directory Submissions

    The website would then be submitted and registered with directories such as

    Yahoo, MSN etc. which facilitate data retrieval by search engines. This component also

    includes research and selection of appropriate categories to which directory

    submissions would be made.

    Ongoing Link Building

    A website's Google Page Rank (PR) will depend on the number of back links it

    has and with an increase in the page rank of a website, improvement in page rankings

    can also be expected. Our SEO Specialists would ensure that a comprehensive link

    exchange programme is undertaken with the objective of increasing the link popularity

    and page rank for your website.

    These were just some of the things we do to get website ranked higher on the world's

    best search engines.

    Data Collection:

    Primary data: A survey would be conducted on search engine optimization

    to determine how internet search engines are playing its role as a useful marketing tool.

    Questionnaires had been distributed among the customers to conduct the survey. For

    clarifications and suggestions, the respondents are dealt personally. In this way,

    information had been collected from the customers to attain the objectives of the

    survey/ research.

    Secondary data: Secondary data had been collected through internet to get the

    information about the current market benefits from search engines.

    Sampling design: A decision has to be taken concerning a sampling unit before

    selecting sample. Sampling unit had been chosen according to the geographical area

    such as a city, state, district, village, country etc.

    Sampling unit: The sampling unit of this survey will be Bangalore city, davangere and

    shimoga. The areas visited will depend upon the location of business, business

    enterprises, professionals, trading concerns etc who will be referred to for collecting theinformation.

    Sampling size:

    Sample size is the subset of the population under study. Sample size should be a

    proper representative of the whole population. As the size of the sample increases, it

    becomes more and more representative of parent population and shows its

    characteristics but in actual practice, large samples are more expensive and confusing.

    40

    41/56

    Thus a balance has to be maintained between the sample size, degree of accuracy

    desired and financial resources available.

    All the important areas of Bangalore, davangere and shimoga will be touched to

    cover the prominent business enterprises, professionals, other concerns etc. The

    sampling size selected for the survey will range between40 to 50.Therefore

    approximately 50 respondents will be dealt with for the purpose of the survey.

    Sampling technique:

    Sample technique was use to do survey which was conducted.only the business

    people were interviewed to know that how much the companies are interested and

    aware of SEO.

    The different types of sampling methods used in the study are

    1. Convenience sampling:- This sampling was used because all the business

    peoples were not in a position to spend their time for our survey.

    2. Purposive sampling:-Where information is obtained from the specific targets-

    respondents who will be able to provide the desired information. So I had

    interviewed the people who can spend their time for us for few minutes.

    The sampling technique used in the study is a mixture of Convenience and

    Purposive sampling.

    Sample frame:

    Sample frame selected under this study from which we derive the sample unit.

    The sample frames for the study are Bangalore, Davangere and shimoga city.

    Statistical tools for analysis:

    The various statistical tools for analysis are:

    Graphs:

    Graphs are the schematic representatives of the figures. It is

    most preferably used method as the variations in the statistical data can also be

    understood by a common man.so the surveyed data which are necessary are shown in

    the graphs.

    Limitations of the Study:

    Every study has its own limitations. No study cand be treated as a perfect

    .similarly there certain limitations of our study like:

    1. Time frame

    2. Sampling errors

    3. Cost factor

    5. Area limit

    6. Only to few search engines
