SEARCH ENGINES - WHAT ARE THEIR RELEVANCE TO YOU AS AN ADVERTISER?
Article was written in 25 Jul 2002 and is outdated as many search
engines are no more. For historical records only. The vast majority of our tenant clientele are from the internet.
Advertisers will miss them if they don't advertise in the internet.
Newspaper advertisements in the Straits Times will remain the main source
of listings but they can't be read by overseas expats as they last at the
most one day.
An example of a typical expat email enquiring about Singapore housing is
given below.
EMAIL FROM A SURFER
Aug 9, 2000.
Dear Judy,
First of all, congratulations for a great Internet site which has
already been of great help for me. I am a (European) who is relocating to
Singapore September 1 this year.
I look for at least 2 bedrooms and two bathrooms, kitchen, living room and
maybe another room. I would also love to have a balcony and live in a
quiet and green area of town.
I have visited a friend who lives in a walk-up, some kind of an old
warehouse or photo studio - one big room. This was quite nice.
Then I came across your site and that inspired me a lot. Particularly,
the section with
Unique Homes
gave some ideas:
My friends have also told me that those kind of homes would suit me well
being a "marketing and advertising person". This would leave much more
room for creativity and personal style than the modern living houses,
condo's etc.
The latter ones might be suitable for me but I just have a feeling that
the above ones are much more a picture of the true Singaporean heritage.
I am therefore preferably looking for a charming place like the ones
above,
an old warehouse, shop house, photo studio etc. It most be relatively
close
to the center. I will be working in Suntec City I would like to have
some greenery around and it most be quiet - at least not noisy.
I hope this gives you an initial idea and maybe we can work together to
focus my requirements.
Do you have photos that you can email to me of some of the options? I very
much appreciate your help in advance. Thanks! Any other sources that you
would suggest?

Landlord & Realtors: Why advertise in asiahomes.com?
ASIAHOMES.COM IS RANKED IN THE TOP
10 POSITIONS IN SEARCH ENGINES. Advertisements will reach the intended
audience when you advertise in asiahomes.com
A search
engine is a giant database that lists sites on the Internet. You access
the database when you enter keyword searches and receive a list of
relevant sites.
Search
sites are the Internet's Yellow Pages.
Think of
a search engine as a giant, automated version of the yellow pages. If you
need information on "party planning" from the yellow pages, there are
several steps to retrieving it.
Go to the yellow pages
and look under the alphabetized subject list for "party."
Note the
subcategories: "party planning" "party - children's", "party - rental
equipment", and so on.
Examine the companies
listed under "party - planning" and decide which company best meets your
needs.
You can repeat this
process online using a search engine.
Search
Engines Versus Search Directories.
People
use both search engines and directories without ever realizing there is a
difference between the two.
Directories (Yahoo,
LookSmart) have human editors who review web pages, rank them, and then
organize them into categorized lists with brief descriptions. The
categories and descriptions are based on submissions, but are edited by
professional editors (real people in the loop reviewing the sites being
submitted).
Search Engines
(AltaVista, Excite, Google) have automated programs called spiders that
index sites and score pages based on proprietary guidelines. There is no
human judgment involved. Search engines index all the information on all
the Web pages they find. The indexes are generated automatically, based
on the words and phrases that are found on Web pages.
What
is a Search Engine?
Search
engines send automated computer programs (called robots or spiders) to
crawl the Internet in search of Web pages. Basically these spiders follow
links to travel from URL to URL. When they visit your Web site, the robot
indexes (or records) the text of your page or pages (if it is a deep
crawling spider) and stores it in the search engine's index. Later, when a
user enters a search query at the search engine's Web site, the search
engine scans Web pages in its index for pages that provide the best match.
The search engine spider is supposed to be able to find all the sites on
the Internet.
Traffic you receive from search
engines is already targeted. Visitors arriving at your site from
search engines have entered a keyword relevant to your site, so they are
already interested in your product or service. This is the best source of
potential customers you can have.
Search engines are the
number one way users find new sites. Surveys show that over
85% of users rely on search engines to locate
information on the Web.
Search engines are
free to users and users know where and how to use them.
As asiahomes.com does well on the sites listed below, it will probably do
well on others too.
