How to attract an audience has been a million dollar question since times immemorial, whether it’s the good old town criers or in recent times, as we like to say, website engagement. One of the silent killers of any firm is their online engagement, even after their vivacious content and professionally designed websites; many companies simply fail to make their presence on the Web World felt – with so much as to get hundred or thousand visitors a month. So let us not rub our noses in disdain and believe that speaking volumes through the white screen is not doable.
