Access to devices such as smart phones and broadband internet has created an easy way through which any one can access any form of information that they want. Although the social media has played a special role in ensuring that the information that we is at our disposal, it has resulted in serious erosion of human morals and ethics.

To begin with, social media reduces face to interactions as they spend most of their time in these online platforms. This isolation result in psychological, emotional mental and physical effects to the youths. The minor are also introduced to immoral behaviors such as homosexuality, lesbianism and other sexual misconducts. Further, the youths are exposed to pornographic content which result in early pregnancies among the young girls and also increase the chance of contracting sexually transmitted infections.
A comprehension of these issues will help the society find ways through which to reduce the youth prevalence to the problems associated with sta.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”
These keywords which are searched just to know about stuff are called informational
keywords. Typically people who are searching this type of keywords are top of a Conversion
funnel.

subscription or a premium subscription to the services you offer or a purchase of products
you sell or recommend using your referral link.
For some buyers, research is the most important part when they have to buy a product.
Depending on that, their journey either widens or narrows down. These types of buyers are
Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you
get for every 100 search visitors is called Conversion rate.

2. Introduction
The internet is considered as the most effective tool in all areas of science, business, education,
culture, and politics.(1 )The total number of worldwide internet users was estimated as 1.2 billion
in the year 2000and jumped tobe 3.17billion in 2015.(2)According to theinternet usage statistics,
internet users are increasing in Egypt reaching about 54.6 % of the population in 2015, compared
to 35.6% in 2012. (3, 4)
More than 80% of the Egyptian internet café clients are young people. (5) Increasingly usage of
computer technology and widespread dominance of the internet has faced many people
particularly university students and extremely usage of it results in mental and psychological
disorders and also affects the work performance and social relations. (6) College students and new
parents are believed to be at a high risk with a marked increase in their internet usage worldwide
especially after the new era of social media usage. (7 )
The term “internet addiction‟ was first introduced by Goldberg I in 1995 describe “pathological
and compulsive use of internet‟. Goel categorized this term as a subgroup of behavioral
addictions.(8) In addition, various psychological measures are available to assess the internet
addiction which include: young internet addiction test (YIAT), problematic internet use
questionnaire (PIUQ) and compulsive internet use scale (CIUS).(9)
Addiction usually refers tocompulsive behavior that leads to negative effects. In most addictions,
people feel compelled to do certain activities so often that they become a harmful habit, which
then interferes with other important activities such as work or school.
In that context, a social networking addict could be considered someone with a compulsion touse
social media to excess -- constantly checking Facebook status updates or "stalking" people's
profiles on Facebook, for example, for hours on end. But it's hard to tell when fondness for an
activity becomes a dependency and crosses the line into a damaging habit or addiction.
Facebook is a social networking service launched in February 2004; it reports more than 1 billion
active users. It is particularly attractive to young adults and over half of member being in the age
group of 18-34. (1 0,11) As of the third quarter of 2015, Facebook had 1.55 billion monthly active
users with estimated 27million users in Egypt in November 2015. It has quickly become both a
basic tool and a mirror for social interaction, personality identity and network building amongst
university students. (4,1 2,1 3)
There is no doubt that excessive use of Facebook affects the real world interaction abilities and
communication, while social skills gradually decrease. Facebook addiction is the new term
invented by psychiatrists as its addiction will damage the sleeping habits, health and interest in
studies and interaction abilities of real life. (1 4)
3. Research Objectives

positive effects in the Egyptian society that will lead us to extract the bad and good habits in the

some are victims to the bad side effects.
9. Discussion
The Internet is extremely an important social and communications tool, and is changing our daily
lives at home and at work. There is no doubt that some Internet users develop problematic
behavior. (1 6) Over past 5 years, social media sites like Facebook have become a central, virtually
unavoidable medium for social interaction, most of Facebook users don’t realize the negative
impact of social media on their life because they are already addicted to it. (14)
This study explored the phenomenon of social networking site usage and its effects. The data
produced seven themes and sub-themes based upon participant interviews, the researcher’s
condensed searches, and demographic data. One implication was that increased online usage
decreases offline social involvement.
A marketer may want to set goals with customers for developing offline interactions, such as:
(a) Setting time limits on online usage
(b) Engaging customers with existing offline social groups (e.g., previous friends, available
family, community activity groups, or local volunteer agencies)
(c) Social skills training.
None of the participants was able toprovide an alternativeactivity tousing social networking sites.
The lack of other options provided insight into the participants’ limited ability to lessen social
networking site usage.
A Marketer may choose to have clients explore the past for previous activities. Marketer may also
explore volunteer or sports opportunities in their communities.
In addition, negative interactions from others on social networking sites resulted in individuals’
feeling negative emotive responses such as hurt or rejection. Individuals who use social media
platforms more frequently than others, especially in harsh conditions such as cyberbullying, may
experience negative emotive responses after use. Marketers working with individuals with
frequent online conflict may treat lowered self-esteem with customers.
Furthermore, participants in this study noted a loss of control in terms of not being able to limit
usage, using when they did not intend to, and using for longer than intended, thus indicating a
pattern of habitual, compulsive, and addictive usage. This behavioral pattern is similar to Marks
(1990) description of addiction involving compulsions, or repetitive behaviors. Some participants
were unaware they were using at times. Some could not perform recreational activities without
using social network sites intermittently.
Marketers must treat the social media addiction as a formal addiction category and start cause-
related marketing campaigns to release the bad habits and increase the awareness about self-
controlling the addiction of social media.
Also, some participants noted a lack of engagement with their partners due to both individuals
using social networking sites simultaneously. On a long-term basis, lack of engagement can lead
couples to seek therapy or leave one another. They may also form relationships with others online
to fill their need for connection. (1 5)
Marketers should take note of the potential effects of social networking platforms usage. Marketer
may explore customer interactions with others in social media platforms in an effort to repair
relationships.
10. The effect of social media on work performance through this study, didn’t take a specific trend as
it was equal for negative and positive effects. Researchersshould takenote of the potential positive
and negative effects and do deeper researches in this direction,
Marketers should take note of the positive effects to enhance and elaborate them in their
marketing messages, on another hand should take note of the negative effects to raise the
awareness and spread the good habits among the community.
One of the limitations of this study it was a cross-sectional one that only showed the relation
between social media and Facebook addiction and some potential health hazards without being
able to determine the causality among those variables, so cohort studies are recommended to
confirm the causality. Also data collection was based on depth-interview questionnaires which are
prone to recall bias.
Recommendations:
Future research related to social media addiction may provide a more in-depth understanding of
social media addiction effects in several ways. Researchers could build upon this study with a
larger participant group toeither confirm or repudiate theresults. Furthermore,replication of this
study with multiple interviews per participant may establish a more consistent and reliable data
set.
Researchers can also utilize the results of this study to develop a grounded theory study tocreate
theory surrounding the effects of social media addiction and reason for use. Also they can
investigate about the reasons of the self-control problem in social media usage although the side
effects is well acknowledged to the users.
Theundetermined trendbetweenyesor no towards the effect of social media addiction of the work
performance is a highly recommended topic for research building on the findings of this study it
also may go deeper to see if the effect is differ from male to female labors or differ from married
to single labors.
In addition, findings from this phenomenological study may assist in the development of
quantitative studies on a larger scale. Also, the themes resulting from this study could be tested in
a quantitative study utilizing significantly more participants. Finally, gender differences may be a
focal point in future studies due tothe differing desires to limit social networking site usage based
upon gender.
11. Conclusion
The results of this study imply that social networking site usage is a phenomenon that individuals
utilize to connect with one another. Most of individuals use media platforms more often when
isolated in life and feel isolated in return when they limit their social networking site usage.
Individuals emit positive and negative emotive responses to others, similar to face-to-face
interactions. At times, social media usage addiction allows individuals to ignore offline
relationships and responsibilities. Individuals use social media platforms compulsively and often
struggle when they try lower their use. Individuals desire genuine online relationships but believe
them to be superficial. Finally, social networking sites allow individuals to present themselves in
ways that may not be realistic due to anonymity.
In addition, the outcomes of this study are important to marketers to understand customers and
researchers in the field of consumer behavior. Because the results of this study provided a
snapshot of the phenomenon for twenty participants, more research is required to truly
understand the phenomenon. Future researchers can apply the results of this study to further
develop the knowledge of how this phenomenon affects individuals and how to provide effective
cause-related marketing campaigns to engage the customers
