About Me

Welcome to Search Talk!!!
My Name is Deelip Kumar and I live in New Delhi, India. I am an Online Marketing professional and started this blog on July 15, 2010 to share my knowledge, profession and experiences. I love this profession and my job, as I can always find something new and implement the same.

In last 7 years, I have worked for 3 companies. I have started my carrier as a Web Developer. After working for 1 year, I entered into Online Marketing field in 2004 and found really interesting. In my second organization I got an opportunity to built my team from scratch. That was a challenge for me because at that point of time this industry was not so popular in India and generally people don't understand what is Search engine optimization and online marketing. I remember one of the candidate came for SEO profile. When I have started interview he told me "Sir, I came here for Search Engine Officer(SEO) Post". :-)After setting up the team, I was majorly involved in tie-ups with different content channels to make online properties valuable and increase revenue.

I am passionate leader with proven success in Online Marketing and growing million dollar businesses. Still this industry has not touches actual potential and there is huge percentage of growth in next few years. Although various businesses have started using online mediums like Email Marketing, Banner Advertisement, Pay Per Click, SEO, Viral Marketing, Social Media Opimization (SMO/SMM), Web Analytics Services but still small and medium businesses haven't touched this pad. The best part of this medium is, its cost effectiveness, reach, target audience and tracking. You can track every single click here. This medium is effective because it's a reverse broadcast network, where you are not going and advertising directly to people, actual buyers are coming to your site through typing keywords, different relevant content channels and hence chances of conversion is too high in comparison to Offline Marketing.

I look forward to sharing my experiences related to Search Marketing.
