Image via WikipediaInformation for you about salaries in Dubai:
How do UAE or Dubai salaries compare to the West?
It is dependent on role, but on the whole they are the same and in some cases can be better, once you include relocation packages, than in the West. Multinational companies tend to pay the higher salaries when compared to locally owned companies.
How many recruiters in Dubai you are matched to should be your first restricted question mark?
What about accommodation and cost of living in Dubai?
Accommodation costs vary considerably depending on location. To rent a 1 bedroom apartment can range between $700 – $2000/month. Due to the mix of nationalities and earning powers you are able to find virtually any product you want at similar prices to what they would be in your home country. As your salary is tax free, most people tend to find that their disposable income is higher in Dubai. When you compare the price of most goods and services to their Western equivalent, you will find the prices are slightly lower in Dubai, but of course there are some exceptions.
What currency are salaries in Dubai paid in?
Salaries are virtually always paid in the local currency of the UAE Dirham. Currently, this currency is pegged to the US Dollar. This though can be a negative factor if the USD continues to lose its value.

I was looking at websites under the keyword search engine marketing Stockholm
and came across your site http://www.google-kai.com . I see that you’re
ranked 22 on page 3 in google.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of why you’re ranked this low
but more importantly how easy it is to start getting higher
listings in search engine results.
All you need to do is some simple “link publicity” for your
website and you could quickly hit the front page and work
your way up to #1-#3.
… over the last 5 years we took the website www.kkkk.de from
only 50-100 clicks per day from Search Engines up to 49,000!
clicks per day! (generating $23M in sales last year!)
How?
Well, by having quality articles written about this website which
were then published by many blogs, web 2.0 websites, and many
other well respected websites on the internet… amongst slowly
adding hundreds and now tens of thousands of highly optimized
content pages to his site.
We also took a site last year which was quickly losing its SEO rankings
and using the same techniques got their site from:
BEFORE After (3 months later)
July 2007 Nov 2007
Google: 165,578 Google: 300,803
Yahoo: 11,076 Yahoo: 39,113
Google UK: 14,823 Google.co.UK: 12,242
Total: 191,477 Total: 352,158
… we doubled his traffic by basically do press releases
with content about their company into many many web 2.0
networks, blogs, industry news sites, high PR news sites,
article directories… you name it – we made his website
“famous” online and google rewarded him greatly.
Now let me be completely honest with you – the
keywords these clients paid to optimize were
extremely competitive and thus relatively
expensive to optimize…. and generate insane
amounts of traffic.
We were paid over six figures for optimizing those
two sites alone and the clients are making a huge
ROI from their investment!
Your keyword: search engine marketing Stockholm
Is NOT competitive and I now have a large team
to allow me to serve smaller businesses such as
yours for pennies on the dollar – for a fraction of
what those clients paid – you too can enjoy the
fruit’s of Top 10 rankings in google for your target
keywords.
I’d be happy to show you results in the first 30
days with NO money down – just to prove to you
how good we really are at this.
If you’d be interested in seeing what we can do to
ramp up your traffic — I’d love to speak with
you over the phone to go over the details of how
our system works.
Just reply back with a good time to call and I will
reply back with my call availability so that we can
schedule a time that works for both of us!
Warmly,
Jason Cox

experts discuss the most important factors in SEO:
Image via WikipediaTo communicate effectively cross-culturally the first thing you need to realize and take into high consideration is that someone somewhere in the world probably sees you as really quite strange. That may be difficult for some Swedes to swallow. How could anybody in their right mind consider normal, efficient, level-headed Swedes as strange?
Of course Swedish people are normal!
After all, the Swedish starting point is ‘we are normal’. Indeed, Swedes have a tendency to think they are a little more normal than
others. They believe they are quite sensible, and logical. They are often unaware that the rest of us, their international business
partners, may have a different opinion. We think they are amusing, entertaining and, at times, really quite odd.
Take business life for example. Swedes attend meetings. Lots of them. Three things in Sweden are certain: death, taxes and
more meetings. Mötet gick bra When Swedes say ‘Mötet gick bra’ (the meeting went well)
what exactly do they mean? There were heated discussions?
The meeting went on for ages? The incredible number of decisions that were taken? I doubt it.
Other people on the planet believe that the sole purpose of a meeting is to produce decisions. Swedish meetings, on the
other hand, are held to fi nd out whether or not you are at the meeting to decide when the meeting will be to decide
when you will meet to talk about what happened at your meeting.
Swedish meetings are short but many. They are arranged to give Bengan, Maggan, and Lasse a chance to say what
they think. If you want to reach a decision then you’ll have to arrange another meeting because in the meantime
Bengan, Maggan and Lasse have to go back to the office and ask Ninni, Kicki and Titti (yes, there are girls of that
name) what they think.
Process
This, in Swedish, is called the förankringsprocess. If Swedes mention the word ‘process’ then it’s better not be in a hurry. There’s a process for everything. This one means getting everybody involved in everything.
Everyone voices an opinion and everyone listens. Then they compromise. The word compromise is music to a
Swede’s ears. Everybody gets something. Not too much and not too little. Nobody wins and nobody loses. They
may agree to disagree but what they will agree on is the exact time and date of the next meeting.
Agenda
Swedes stick to the agenda. They tick off each point after everybody has taken turns discussing it. They have to
move quickly through the agenda as they all have another meeting planned ten minutes after this one has finished.
They intensely dislike the last point on the agenda which is övriga frågor, ‘any other business’. No self-respecting
Swede wants to be guilty of causing the meeting to run over time. There is a distinct danger that ‘any other business’
could drag on and fl exibility is not a Swedish strong point.
Decision time
Swedes rarely say yes or no. This means that instead of saying ja or nej they say nja which means ‘yes-but-no-butyes-
but’. You see, saying ‘yes’ or ‘no’ can lead to conflict so Swedes avoid these words and replace them with ‘it
depends’, ‘maybe’ and ‘I’ll see what I can do’.
Foreigners may get heated, irritated or even angry. Swedes call this hysterical behavior. Hysteria is abnormal and
uncomfortable and should preferably not occur in office hours. If, on the other hand, a Swede ever tells you to go
a place called ‘hellsicke’, then, take my word for it, you’ve upset him.
You may wonder how on earth they ever make a decision. Business Swedes themselves have sometimes called this
beslutsimpotens – which, I suppose, means not having the balls to decide one way or another.
Milk and no sugar
Someone once said that if the Swedes gave up their coffee breaks they could retire fi ve years earlier. Coffee is an integral
part of any meeting, either as an on-going self-service affair during the discussions or as a separate break. The coffee break is not to be confused with the briefer, more frequent leg-stretcher. Or ‘bone-stretcher’ as they sometimes
call it. The Swedish word for leg and bone is the same.
Work and life balance
Most Swedes are dedicated to fi nding a healthy work-life balance. They might say they work hard; it’s just that they
are not often at work to do it. Look in a Swedish diary and you may get the impression that no one in this country is ever at work. Try to get hold of someone on a Friday afternoon and this will be confirmed.
Swedes will start to ask you about your plans for the coming weekend as early as Wednesday afternoon. By
Friday lunchtime they have mentally gått för dagen ‘left for the day’.
Red days
The Swedes have a fair share of public holidays. In a good year they take as many days off in May and June as most
Americans take in a year. And they still have their five weeks vacation to take out when it suits them. Not only do
they have ‘red days’ as the Swedes call their official holidays, but they may be given half the day off before, just to
get them into the holiday mood.
If they’ve planned it well they can take out a klämdag or two, which are odd days between a holiday and the weekend.
Come May, June, July the weekends and public holidays more or less combine into one long vacation with the occasional
day at the office. However, fair’s fair – when they’re at work they’re very effective.
But not before 8.30 as they have fl exi-time, and not after 4 pm, thank you, as they have to pick up the kids from play
school, and not after 2 pm on Fridays, if you don’t mind, and preferably not between 1 May and 10 August.
So, there you are Swedes. A short, sharp lesson in how to realise that you are not quite as normal as you think you are.
And thank goodness for that.
