As an SEO Specialist, one of my main tasks is to generate leads from potential buyers. Although some of my work done generated some traffic to my assigned sites, the leads are not as good as expected. This lead me to my plan of creating a post on Lead Generation so I can share suggestions on how to increase your leads using Search Engine Marketing.
According to WikiPedia, Lead Generation is:
A marketing term that refers to the creation or generation of prospective consumer interest or inquiry into a business’ products or services. Often lead generation is associated with marketing activity targeted at generating sales opportunities for a company’s sales force. Therefore a lead is correctly described as information regarding or provided by a consumer that may be interested in making a purchase. Whereas, generation is one of a myriad of activities that may produce that information and perceived interest.
I will post more about Lead Generation in the coming days or weeks Continue reading »

The Most Common Default Time in the World

Have you noticed that almost all display images of analog watches and clocks have their time set to ten minutes past ten (10:10)? Why is it so common all over the world? I see it on newspapers, magazines, billboards and even on websites? Any ideas who started this? Try searching for analog watch or analog clock in your favorite search engine (image search) and you will see that 10:10 is used by almost all clock and watch images.
So I surfed several websites and I noticed that Timex sets all their watches to 10:09:36, Philip Stein sets their time to either 10:10:40 or 03:40:10 (similar position to 10:10 upside down), Seiko commonly uses 10:09:42 on their watches and Timberland sets it at either 10:10:37 or 10:09:38 (Image on the right is a Timberland Men’s Glenwood Chronograph Orange Silicone Strap w/ Brown Dial. Check the product detail here).
So you see, 10:10 (or 10:09 on some) is the most common set time in the World. Whoever started it is still unknown. More updates soon.
