Long Term planning and your website strategy.
The difference is that some companies understand this is a long term medium with potential rather than having a website just because they think they should.

Planning is a critical role in the success of your internet marketing strategy. Planning internet strategies in advance help you capitalize on the mainstream use of the Internet. How we can execute each campaign.

It's not unrealistic for search Engine Exposure to represent 60 to 80 percent of the website's total traffic.

How do you plan an Internet strategy when the online world is changing constantly?
- Yes technology changes, but this does not affect only your Internet strategy, but every facet of your business. The best way to answer this is with another question :
How do you plan to grow your business?

Forecast to the best of your ability where your business will be in six months, one year and two years from now. The website and internet strategy should be flexible enough to grow with your business without having to start from scratch every time the business reaches a new milestone.

The key components should include:
  • Understanding Your Primary Online Objectives
  • Identifying your primary and secondary target market segments.
  • Having a clear understanding of what you're promoting on your site.
When setting an online objective, It's not enough to just say "Increased Revenue". It needs to be SMART. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Timed)

Things like "To generate increased brand awareness by 20% in two months" is a much better goal.

"increase customer retention", "Provide increased customer service by providing the web users with more self-service tools and information" are also examples.

I foresee an era of ads that are different for every person. I theorize that, just like the evolution of any species, when a species specializes too much, it breeds weakness. Therefore, I think that advertising will begin to divide communities and encourage selfish individualism. 2.What existing research in how to do this (methods/practice)? *After looking at some of the research methods available. I find I will begin from a sort of Poetic research and then nail down the project with action research. Since advertising is all about interacting with the community, this is the most appropriate method. 3.What existing research in the content area? *There are so much prior research in this area, I am still taking time to filter through this area. more research into the are...

The Evolving Urban Form: Kuala Lumpur A very well researched and presented article written by Wendell Cox 01/12/2013 It has very comprehensive graphs on the growth of Kuala Lumpur city, particularly useful for property investors that are seeking to understand geographical influences in property buying. I am currently writing an article for Mah Sing which aims to explain their purpose behind developments in the outer suburbs or outskirts of Greater KL. Finally moving towards a nation with progressive planning, I am glad that the fabled Wawasan 2020 may have achieved its influence in the minds of Malaysians.
