Be authentic (not arrogant) to be No.1

Cricket websites

Cricketnirvana.com advertises heavily. The commercial says, "India's No.1 Cricket Website". A look at the graph above might indicate otherwise. No.1? On what basis, one might ask. The commercial doesn't help you understand the basis of the claim. Sheer arrogance, right?

How do you think that a product that is based on a medium as powerful as the Internet be marketed through a weaker medium like TV? The medium that Internet is, and a tall claim as that, easily prompts a curious soul to one to find out the truth.

And after finding out the truth, one feels oneself closer to the real No.1 that one was always aware of. Without advertising, of course!

If you are not No.1 and you are advertising claiming to be No.1, you are being arrogant. Internet rewards humility, doesn't it?

    To understand why cricketnirvana does that, you need to understand who is the owner of the website.
    Nimbus- the owner of Neo Sports and Neo Cricket are an arrogant bunch who thanx to their exclusive agreement with BCCI have managed high TRP’s for NEO Cricket and came out with the claim that they were India’s numero uno Cricket channel.(justified by TAM)
    Now definiftely an India match has higher viewership in India, than an Aussie Ranger Cup on Star Cricket. But who cares for the whole truth. Who cares if I telecast only 5 balls in an over, fill up 2/3rd of the screen with ads and eliminate commentry religiously for every over change. This is like being No 1. in a License Raj.
    Its this arrogance that NEO has taken across to its website. Besides, with no universal measurement techniques for online traffic, every website can choose anything the feel (visitors,impressions,page through,pop-ups) as a basis.
    They wish to be a self procliamed King rather han being a King accepted by the subjects…
