Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for state.gov

Queries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates.

There have been certain stupid remarks about Alexa's service. I have vehmently supported Alexa. Right now I type Saddam Husein with the tool bar of Alexa and got the right result. I am not a supporter of Saddam or any fanatic. I believe only in one thing. Democracy! How a people could live under a dictator for so long a period? How could they tolerate Saddam's nominating his own son as his successor? It is most un-islamic practice. Nomination to rule the people is not according to Islamic tenets. A people who could not rise to overthrow a dictator are better dead than alive. This is my personal opinion.

The US Department of State is obviously one of the world's great "power centres". You only have to look at the list of missions all round the world, and the list of policy topics with which the Department deals. Whether you agree or disagree with US policy, you have to admit the US's great economic and political power in the modern world.
