Interesting!

                              Chairman, Google



                                                     4
The advent of personalized search




    When two users search for “buy flowers in
    Dubai” they need not see exactly the same
                     results




                                                5
Ask a search engine …


               Build the website for users, not
               for Search Engines…




                                                  6
Users …let’s stop calling them that…




                          The web is used by
                          people…
                                               7
The web is used by people




                        People with families


                                               8

                        People with aspirations


                                              10
The web is used by people




                        People like you and me



                                             11
The web is for the people…




     “Focus on people and the search engines
              will take care of itself”
                                               12

                              technically correct
    This is how I want the    way
    world to see us

A fact…

          “The Search Engine Space is Crowded”

                               page one…




     Desperation leads to short cuts, stay out of it...

                                                            19

                                   Slideshare
                                   Twitter

      Nobody searches for “Shiny white sleek laptop”

                They type www.apple.com




                  Can you reach there?

Web 2.0




                   Web 2.0 is an architecture
                       of collaboration
   Tim O’ Reilly
                                         43
Web 2.0 is by the people




                People have absolute power to
                  determine
                what they like or don’t like online

                                                      44
The web is used by people




                        People with families


                                               45

                        People with aspirations


                                              47
The web is used by people




                        People like you and me



                                             48
Stay people focused (not search engine focused)



  Build your site for the people
  Be honest, Be sharing, Be consistent
  Stick to the plan…


  The search engines will come SEARCHING for
  you…
