Web Scraping

Web Scraping or Web Screening is a technique employed by various businesses and companies to extract large amount of data from website and store the extracted data in a local file or in a database for future use. The data extracted can be:

• Product items

• Images

• Videos

• Text

• Contact information like emails, phone numbers, etc.

The users use web browser to browse the data in a website. If the concerned website allows the user to copy the content, the user may save the data if he/she feels use of it. But if the amount of data to copy and paste is very large then it becomes a tedious job for the user to do that. This is where Web Scraping comes into place. Web Scraping technique automates the copy and pasting process in a few minutes (considering the amount of data to be extracted from the website) instead of doing it manually.

There is many web scraping software available in the market to automatically load and extract data from multiple pages of the websites. The web scraping software can also be custom build in order to work for a specific website too.

The web scraping technique has many uses for businesses to monitor and analyze the market every day. Web scraping can also be used to scrape product details like pricing, images, ratings, reviews, comments, etc. Web Scraping can be used in a website where there are constant changes happening frequently.

Web Scraping can also be used in gathering data from multiple sources belonging to a specific category like real estate, automobiles, electronic gadgets, industrial equipment, business contacts, marketing, etc. Web Scraping is also useful for research in gathering structured data from multiple sources in the internet with ease. Some websites don’t allow web scraping as they would have mentioned it in their privacy policy oy legal document. Instead there are legitimate way of doing web scraping by scraping less amount of data from the website in order to reduce load in the website server.

Cloud Computing

The use of services such as software, database, development platforms, infrastructure (servers, storage and networking) over the internet is said to be cloud computing. The cloud computing offers adjustable resources, rapid innovation, reduces operation costs, runs infrastructure efficiently and increases production significantly.

Based on the development model, the cloud computing is classified as:

• Public cloud

• Private cloud

• Hybrid cloud

Public Cloud: A public cloud is one based on the standard cloud computing model, in which a service provider makes resources, such as virtual machines (VMs), applications or storage, available to the general public over the internet. Public cloud services may be free or offered on a pay-per-usage model.

Private Cloud: Private cloud is a type of cloud computing that delivers similar advantages to public cloud, including scalability and self-service, but through a proprietary architecture. Unlike public clouds, which deliver services to multiple organizations, a private cloud is dedicated to the needs and goals of a single organization.

Hybrid Cloud: Hybrid cloud is a cloud computing environment that uses a mix of on-premises, private cloud and third-party, public cloud services with orchestration between the two platforms. By allowing workloads to move between private and public clouds as computing needs and costs change, hybrid cloud gives businesses greater flexibility and more data deployment options.

Based on the service offered, the cloud computing is as follows:

• Infrastructure as a service

• Platform as a Service

• Software as a service

• Database, Information, Process, Application, Integration, Security, Management, Testing-as-a-service

The Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) offers servers, virtual machines, storage, networks, operating systems from a cloud provider on a pay as you go basis. The Platform as a service (PaaS) offers environment for developing, testing, delivering and managing software applications. Software as a service (SaaS) is a method where software applications are delivered over the internet on a subscription basis to work with a web browser on a personal computer, tablet or mobile phone.

Cloud computing offers many advantages for many businesses through reducing the cost for infrastructure, cloud computing speed services, increasing the productivity and performance with better security.

Ways of Promoting a Brand

Launching a new product or service into the market is becoming challenging for all businesses in the current trend. But thorough research in where to promote and where to launch the product will give the businesses an idea on what they have to do in order to advertise the product or service. Nowadays, there are many ways to advertise a product both globally and locally.

RESEARCH ON THE PRODUCT AND SERVICE

Before launching a new product or service, a business or organization has to analyze and research on their own product and service. Through the research, the business has to note down why their product or service is different from the competitors and what benefits and advantages it has.

The research must also be done on where to launch the product as it must first reach the customers. For example, if a business needs to open an exquisite pastry shop in an area, they have to research on where to establish the shop, whether the established area will have more customers visiting the shop or not, have to research on the competitors in the same business in the surrounding area, the main pastry chef for the shop, the daily raw materials needed for the shop, etc.

Even though a product works the same and has same specifications as the competitor, the business can take necessary steps so that it can reach more customers through aggressive advertising in digital marketing channels and other advertisements through newspapers, flyers, brochures, etc.

ADVERTISING LOCALLY AND GLOBALLY

Local Advertising:A local advertising for a product and service can be done through:

flyers, brochures, small visiting cards, banners, canvasing, etc.

advertise through local cable and radio channels

through friend social networks

making videos about the product and sharing it

through social media like Facebook, Instagram, twitter groups, etc.

through mobile applications like WhatsApp, viper, hike, line app, etc.

donating the products for welfare like schools, colleges, etc.

through charity events for homages, orphanages, etc.

advertise brand through partnerships with other company products

When a business establishes Digital Marketing Campaign, it cannot rely only on a single resource to generate all the results they wanted.

The best way would be to rely on combining, adapting and advertising through the channels at your disposal and making use of what the business can offer that will to reach their business goals and objectives.

But it also depends on the type of marketing channels and the performance of the product. Before marketing is done, a business must determine on how to spend the allocated marketing budget.

Determining the business marketing goal

Allocating which marketing channels for advertising

Tracking the results according to the market channels

Machine Learning

Machine Learning is the act of getting the computer to learn and respond like a human do and improve the same over time through algorithms by providing them data and information in the form of real-world interactions and observation. Machine Learning takes the input data and gives the suitable and accurate output. If the relevant information is not found, then the machine learning process the data according to the algorithm.

Machine learning algorithms are categorized as supervised algorithm and unsupervised algorithm. Data scientists or data analysts use supervised algorithms to train the machines by providing input data into the machine and get the desired output along with feedback and predictions. Unsupervised algorithms don’t need training and will use iterative learning approach to review data and arrive at conclusions.

Machine learning is being used in a wide range of applications today. The news feed on Facebook uses machine learning to learn the member’s feed frequently and to also checks where they always visit to check posts and feeds. If a member frequently stops scrolling to read or like a particular friend's posts, the News Feed will start to show more of that friend's activity earlier in the feed.

The Facebook software uses statistical analysis and predictive analytics to identify patterns in the member’s data and use those patterns to check which posts and news feed the member frequently visits. Should the member no longer stop to read, like or comment on the friend's posts, that new data will be included in the data set and the News Feed will adjust accordingly. Machine learning is also entering an array of enterprise applications.

Customer relationship management systems use machine learning models to analyze email and prompt sales team members to respond to the most important messages first. More advanced systems can even recommend potentially effective responses. Business intelligence and analytics vendors use machine learning in their software to help users automatically identify potentially important data points.

Human resource systems use machine learning models to identify characteristics of effective employees and rely on this knowledge to find the best applicants for open positions. Machine learning also plays an important role in self-driving cars where deep learning neural networks are used to identify objects and determine optimal actions for safely steering a vehicle down the road.
