The brief

From the business
to the approach.

Who the client is, what stood in the way and how eBrandz approached it.

  1. 01 / CLIENT

    Who they are

    J. K. Ansell Ltd (JKAL), the manufacturers and marketers of KamaSutra condoms is a 50:50 joint venture between Raymond and Ansell International, a USD 1 billion company.

  2. 02 / CHALLENGE

    What stood in the way

    TKsontheweb.com had lot of good content on their website. However most of this content was behind password protected pages. Hence search engines could not access these pages. Another problem was that the pages on the website were using “.ift” extension. Due to this, search engines were not able to recognize these pages. Client wanted to be visible on certain very important and competitive One word keywords which was a very difficult task.

  3. 03 / SOLUTION

    How eBrandz approached it

    After consulting with client, some of the pages which were stored behind password protected pages were brought out in the public domain. Also search engines were contacted and told that there was a problem due to which search engines were not able to recognize the extension of web pages. Thankfully search engines responded to our concerns and the extension was then recognized by search engines. eBrandz team also started working on page titles and Meta Tags based on keyword research which was conducted jointly with the client.

The outcome

What changed for Kamasutra.
