Network Solutions Soon To Get Acquired By Web.com

Hi Friends!

The competition has been growing really tough. And it is Web.com who has proved it evidently through an agreement it has signed for acquisition of Network Solutions, a private domain name registrar. The move has been made to take advantage of the shift small and medium sized companies have taken, from conventional to online marketing modules.

Big DEAL, Big AMOUNT

 

Web.com, a company in Florida declared that it will be paying an hefty amount of US $ 405 million to Network Solutions in cash. The company would issue nearly 18 million shares as common stock and refinance the Network Solutions recent debt.

Web.com and Network Solutions, both the companies are domain name registrars; however, they have extended their businesses with complementary services like ecommerce and online marketing, hitting small and medium sized organizations.

Web.com Profitable Anticipations

According to what Web.com shared in its company blog post, Network Solutions is a international business giant when it comes to domain name registration. Besides this, it is dealing in website design as well as management services with focus on SMB online marketing. The reason that company is excited about the acquisition is because of the following reasons:

1. It will give an opportunity to Web.com to add gear to its business and grow exponentially.

2. Web.com will be able to position itself as a nationally acclaimed go-to-provider for SMBs.

And this is a good reason that business enterprises picked ecommerce web design the only solution to promote their products and services. But most of the times, people get in to the dilemma as which is a better promotional strategy?

Thoughtfully, many businesses that doesn't possess their own ecommerce website prefer to hands pick sites like Ebay and Amazon to display and sell their products for a certain percentage. It is a great way of marketing products without investment. But there are many other business organizations who get their own ecommerce websites designed to promote their business. However, if you wish to obtain great outcomes, then you can choose to integrate your own ecommerce business website with Ebay or others. If you are selling your company products online via your website and you want to give an added impetus to your sales through ebay, in that case it becomes easy to create sync between your website and the ecommerce platform if you are using dotcommerce for your website.

Overpowering Google's 'Local Search' Strategic Move

How Entrepreneurial businesses can overcome the effects of Google's Local Search Strategy?

The Powerful Giant

Google, the Internet Giant is rightly called as a Business Campaigner. Coming with new upgradations in its existing features or evolving a new technology every other day has won it accolades. With this mass serving attitude and user-friendly approach, Google stresses on providing an unbeatable web browsing experience to surfers across the globe. And with a pledge to bring new advancements in the year 2011, leader launched many of its products, StreetView, Hotpot, '+1 etc. and initiated newer strategies to help web surfers get the best and related search results. The most intriguing one was the local search strategic move.

Local Search Strategy By Google

The 'Local Search' feature that was enabled for all search results was believed to be an intelligent step made by Google that will facilitate people to find the exact search results in the local area. For instance, if a service seeker is looking for a hair salon service, then he will get search results including the name of salons in the local area when searched on Google. But besides simplifying task of web surfers, it turned the wheels for service providers globally.

Unlike the earlier search results, when a surfer, for instance searched for a web designing and development company, he used to get a comprehensive list of service providers located both nationally and internationally. The service seekers could easily compare the prices of the nationally located firms (in their local areas) with overseas companies providing the same services. Picking the one that fits their needs and pocket, they found it simple to avail the services from service providers of their choice based globally. Nevertheless, with the introduction of this new localization strategy, things changed dramatically for service providers. The two major disadvantages of this new-flanged strategy is the:

• Probability of companies (based outside local areas) to generate international leads has reduced to a big extent.
• Service seekers cannot run comparison between the prices of different companies.

Evidently, this is a major problem with the service seekers that are new to the industry. While those who have been outsourcing their massive company projects to outsource service providers were and have been benefiting themselves. That is, they have been availing services from affordable offshore service providers.

The Right Remedy

However, the most ideal solutions to overcome the drawbacks of this local search strategy that has affected many service providers is by:

Relying on Social MediaLook upon Social Media platforms for effective business and brand promotion. By publicizing your profile to global friends, you can market your business in the global market without much effort. For example, if you are in India you may add US or UK based nationals and friends to your network list that will help you promote your company and services directly or indirectly.

Creating a Physical Presence
If a company has US as its niche market, then the best way is to create a physical presence in the respective region. By physical presence, we mean building an office at the desired place. This way you not just build the credibility of your brand but also you can get your company listed in the search results whenever a search pertaining to the products or services you are dealing in is conducted.

In a nutshell, local search strategy is not a bad move certainly, as it simplified the process by localizing search results. But the ones who have been affected or will be affected can embrace above mentioned strategies to bypass the possibility of losing international clients.

Why I am not worried ‘bout the Web…

I could not sleep last night! Some how the ongoing debate to cut down outsourcing is giving me all the jitters. And then when I finally caught a wink all I could see through the darkness was how web development industry would fare.
Thank my god, it ain’t that scary.

The year 2001 spelt near doom of web development when the dot-com bubble burst. But call it destiny or whatever… but it survived through that era. In 2008 however, even though the US economy’s doesn’t look that promising, there’s more hope for the web to follow the economy’s course rather than shatter and fall below it.
Business commentators have drafted out charts and graphs to document how revenues will remain steady even against a backdrop of stagflation, war, and other economic tensions.
The web will thrive, sure it will, but I guess it has more do with how the Web has become an ordinary part of our lives.

• In 2001, Internet was only making its way to the doors of many American homes. It was like the dish TV’s of today. Like people did know how to live with it. Cut to the present and I see kids who can’t even begin to think of a life without the internet. It’s like someone telling you to imagine your world minus water!!! Be it keeping in touch with friends and family or setting up an entire business, the World Wide Web has everyone in its net.

• The dot com boom and bust was all about get consumers to come somewhere and buy things. When the deals looked less exciting, customers simply stopped coming. The past few years have seen an explosion of sites built on sharing and communication between visitors, not just between buyers and sellers. Those communities have become a part of people’s daily lives, an important part of their social life. This doesn’t mean that people spend all day staring at Facebook or Orkut or blogs - but it does mean that people have integrated those sites into their daily lives.

• It would be an understatement to say that we have adapted to the web, rather we are addicted to it. Having a web site for a business is no longer a huge special event - it’s something normal. Lots of people now turn to the Web rather than the phone book when they want to find out what a store’s hours are. Actually don’t put yourself at risk by not having one!

• It was a different story back in the 90s. Putting up a web site was a big deal, like equal to constructing a mall or something. It was all about investing a lot of time, costly hosting and bandwidth, specialized developers, and a mindset that poured money into building audience size at any cost. Today, you can do even large-scale hosting at much lower cost, web skills are a more ordinary part of skill sets for administrative assistants, Java programmers, and database gurus alike.

• Gone is the era of snail mail. And with it, has gone that limitation of trade. The Web reaches well past local stores and local customers. If someone somewhere on the globe likes what you have, it’s much easier to conduct a transaction now than it used to be. This might be stabilizing - international customers may be responding to different economic stimuli than local ones. Of course, the value in that depends on other areas doing better than the local economy.

• There are still immense new projects coming on to the Web, but there’s also a tremendous amount that’s already up, developed, thought of as monthly maintenance costs rather than intense new expenditures. While this may not look like a bright new horizon for entrepreneurs, it does provide the Web with some much-needed ballast to keep it stable through whatever waves the economy throws at it.

I’m sure I’ve left out a lot of reasons for stability, and at the same time I doubt that the web world will shrug off the impact of broader economic busts or booms. Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon, and other big players have, after all, become a key part of our economy, tightly integrated with all kinds of businesses on their way up or down.
What I don’t see today, however, is the kind of industry collapse that happened in 2000 and 2001.
And with this optimism to count on, I can get now get a good nights sleep!

Good Night!
