Abstract The case deals with the problems of positioning a portal targeted at a particular segment. The case provides the background in terms of the 'hit rate' of the sites, description of the target group, difficulty experienced in selling media space and formation of marketing alliances. The case describes three different alternatives for re-positioning the site. Possible areas of discussions include the problems unique to positioning a website to suit a particular target audience, problems of migration from a traditional media to cyber media and cannibalisation effects.
