Universal Pictures’ new film Wanted is based on the acclaimed six-issue comic book mini-series by writer Mark Millar and artist J.G. Jones, released by Image/Top Cow from 2003 to 2004. In a Summer dominated by Silver-Age comic book retreads, Wanted offers a breath of the modern. And like Road To Perdition (Tom Hanks, Paul Newman), most folks don’t know that Wanted is based on a comic book!

The premise of the comic book, which is retained in the movie, is that super-villains, sick of being defeated piecemeal by the heroes in a way that one can spot in any monthly comic, may eventually team up and wage an all-out war on the superheroes. Slinging magic, mad science, and a dollop of mind control, the villains have long since achieved the “Crime Syndicate dream”: a world without superheroes.

In such a world villains reign supreme, villains such as the super-intelligent megalomaniac Professor Solomon Seltzer, whose character represents something of a blend of Lex Luthor and Dr. Sivana; Mr. Rictus, a sadistic murderer; the Future, a time-traveling Nazi somewhat in the vein of Kang the Conqueror; the Emperor, a nod to “yellow peril” villains such as Fu Manchu and the Mandarin; and a primeval immortal aptly named Adam-One. And in such a world lives Wesley Gibson, a regular guy who’s inherited an uncanny skill with any weapon and perfect aim from his murdered father.

Wesley has spent most of his life in a cubicle, bludgeoned into a stupor by the meaninglessness of his existence. His ennui is shattered one day by the appearance of a sexy gun moll named Fox, sent by his father’s old partner Sloan and a secret society called the Fraternity. Fox offers him the opportunity to develop his latent powers as well as to avenge the murder of his father.

The film, set for a June 2008 release, features a star-studded cast with Angelina Jolie as Fox and Morgan Freeman as Sloan, while future Bilbo Baggins himself, James McAvoy, is protagonist Wesley Gibson. How closely the film will hew to the comic is something of a matter of debate, but we can expect it to highlight Gibson’s transformation from an apathetic nobody to a fighter of class, style, and unparalleled heroism.

Many have sought to draw parallels between the Wesley of Wanted and the Neo of the Matrix movies: two office drones who find redemption from their humdrum lives in a mission sparked by the arrival of a strange woman–not to mention new bullet-swerving powers. The Trinity/Fox and Morpheus/Sloan connection is almost unavoidable, and Wesley is even named for cyberpunk grandmaster William Gibson, to whose dark futuristic visions The Matrix owed so much.

But director Timur Bekmambetov is clearly hoping that he can overcome such concerns with a blend of non-stop action, sultry Jolie-posing, and memories of a comic mini-series whose lush art and intelligent scripting, as well as its bleakness and ambition, have been recognized by no less than the Sunday Times with the oft-quoted sobriquet “Watchmen for super-villains.

Over the past few years, search has become an essential aspect of the online marketing mix. Both organic search engine optimization (SEO) and Pay-Per-Click (PPC) strategies can be utilized to deliver different results. For example, PPC may contribute to long-term branding efforts, but it’s also a recurring cost. SEO, on the other hand, provides more lasting results and measurable ROI. But, it’s also a long-term investment that requires ongoing attention and maintenance.

So how do you decide if you should focus your online marketing budget on PPC or SEO? Ideally, you should incorporate both to create a more well-rounded web presence, but in many cases, this isn’t necessary or doesn’t make sense. In this article, I’ll explain how to decide which strategy to utilize. Of course, this decision depends largely on your budget and goals. More importantly, however, it depends on your target market and user behavior.

Consider this: According to the November 2007 issue of BtoB Magazine, approximately 80% of all web traffic now begins with a search engine. As you can see, if you have yet to begin any SEO efforts, you’ll severely restrict the amount of traffic your site receives because you’ll be invisible in the results. There is no doubt that your online lead generation efforts will be unsuccessful if searchers can’t find you. In an online atmosphere, visibility is the precursor to interaction and engagement, which lead to conversion and then retention.

You may be wondering: Is there a correlation between where a website appears in the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) and the volume of traffic it receives? Of course there is. In fact, this correlation is direct, and its implications are more far reaching than you might expect. Studies conducted by BtoB Magazine indicate that second or even third page rankings can increase website traffic volume by up to nine times! If a site appears in the Top Ten, or has first page listings, it can mean an additional sixfold increase in traffic!

Imagine the impact this strategy would have on the average website, especially an e-commerce site. The BtoB study also indicates that Top Ten rankings increase sales by an average of 42% for the first month of SEO, and 100% for the second month. Clearly organic SEO can make a huge difference in how successful a website is. In many cases, especially for sites that rely on sales and conversions, it can even be the determining factor.

Still, there are many companies out there who continue to ignore search engine marketing (SEM), despite the fact that their competitors started long ago and now have them buried in oblivion. The majority have yet to begin optimizing their websites for search engine visibility. Imagine a mile-long race where one runner gets just a three minute head start. While it’s not an insurmountable lead, the other runners will be confronted with quite a task as they try to catch up.

So, in order to take full advantage of this continuously growing channel and the opportunities for targeted ad placement it provides, it is critical to educate clients about the benefits inherent to SEM, and the importance time plays in the competitive landscape.

Remember though that neither SEO or PPC is a “quick fix” strategy. Instead, they’re both valuable assets within the online marketing mix. Working in conjunction, the two can return better results, as PPC contributes to brand building efforts while SEO can build a permanent presence (the costs of which can be amortized over time). But back to the main point: How do you decide which strategy is best for your website?

The optimal way to arrive at a conclusion is to gather user data and analyze behavior, always asking yourself “How does my target market or user group currently search for my products or services? What phrases are they using, and conversely, which phrases are the most popular?” There a number of existing SEO resources and tools out there that estimate the predicted volume of a given search query.

Still, it’s best to have an experienced SEO professional analyze this data to ensure a proper diagnosis. Imagine you’re at the hospital and some random guy sitting in the corner offers a quick diagnosis for half the price of your regular doctor costs. Would you trust him before yourself? You might. But you’d prefer a doctor’s diagnosis because you can be sure their experience and credentials will be more accurate and trustworthy. Along the same lines, you want whoever is diagnosing your ailment to have the proper equipment at hand to do so, not just some trial stethoscope that looks like a toy.

A trained professional will begin the SEO process by gaining a detailed understanding of user motivations to ensure the keyword phrases we optimize a website around are the most effective. The perfect keywords will carve an online niche for your company or brand while eliminating most competition. A full understanding of user motivations is essential to a successful SEO campaign, as the keywords (and the copy itself) can mean the difference between a conversion and an abandonment. Interestingly, data shows that longer phrases convert much better, probably due to the fact that searchers using longer phrases are further along in the research or buying cycle.

So, once your SEO agency has performed searches for your potential focus, a Keyword Analysis will provide the data to determine the historical popularity of keyword phrases that match the theme of your site or describe your product or service. Make sure you’re specific and test various combinations, as the results can often be drastically different. If the data shows that there are a high volume of searches that align with your web presence, you’ll know that SEO is the way to go. If your phrase is more obscure or basic, like “computer keyboards” for example, PPC can be an excellent method to ensure your site is visible without expending the thousands of hours necessary to overtake the top ranked organic sites.

So take advantage of the power of search engines to deliver your website to the waiting eyes of interested searchers, and your bottom line will thank you for years to come.

Two different geographic features helped to shape the development of Pakistan. One of those features was created by inland waterways, and the other was created by the mountains, mountains that cover so much of the terrain within Pakistan.

As civilizations developed along the Nile and around the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, one group of ancient people discovered the richness of the valley along the Indus and Ghaggus Hakra Rivers. At that time, the need for production of food by farming drove the creation of settlements. Thus many people settled in the valley around the Indus and Ghaggus Hakra Rivers. Their settlements introduced the elements of civilization into the region that was to become Pakistan.

The people in that valley had access to rich mineral deposits, deposits in the surrounding mountains. They were able to mine copper, lead and tin. That combination of metals gave the growing settlements the ability to make bronze tools, bronze weapons and other bronze implements.

Now as the people in that settlement began to negotiate and trade with the nomads who passed over the mountains, the world began to hear about the resources in the Indus valley. Some of those who heard about those resources wanted to seize a piece of them. They wanted to invade the settlements around the Indus and Ghaggus Hakra Rivers.

A second geographic feature, the Kyber Balon Pass, gave prospective invaders a ready pathway into the growing settlements. That is why the region now known as Pakistan has seen many different invaders.

The invaders came from at least three different directions. Mongols invaded the region from the northeast. Turks and Afghans invaded from the northwest. Greeks, Persians and Arabs invaded from the west. Until the coming of the British, no foreigners had approached the region that is now Pakistan from the Arabic Sea, the body of water that is fed by waters from the Persian Gulf.

Today, Pakistan is bordered by India on the east and China in the north. To the west, Pakistan has two neighbors-Iran and Afghanistan. The waters of the Arabic Sea remain the southern border of Pakistan.

The climate of Pakistan exhibits a large range of climatic conditions. In the lower elevations, there are a number of desert regions. There the summers can be hot and unpleasant. In the higher elevations, inhabitants must endure snow and cold temperatures in the winter. The trials of the mountain dwellers were demonstrated by a short but powerful geographic happening.

On the morning of October 8, 2005, an earthquake rocked the Pakistani controlled region of Kashmir. Soon many aid groups struggled to find a way into the isolated villages. They wanted to reach those villages before the arrival of freezing temperatures, and before snow had covered the area.

The world’s response to that earthquake highlighted both the climate and geography of Pakistan. The world saw many pictures of the mountains in northern Pakistan. The world also got a clear view of how very cold it becomes in those mountainous regions during the winter months.
